The wholesale Clothing trade of Mem
phis is becoming an object Of much inter
est, and is, we are glad to say, daily grow
ing in its proportions. A few years ago,
dealers in this line had to visit other cities
to lay in their stocks, being unable TO
make selections from the limited supply
kept here. This is nov all changed, and
our city to-day boasts as complete an as
sOrtment Of ready-made clothing as can
be found in any Eastern market. Mer-
chants from the interior are enabled to
make such selections as viii suit the
trade Of any section; and prices are as
low as they are at the factories. Country
dealers should not overlook the fact,
and should see our a-ssOrtmsnts before
sending elsewhere. Gun dealers in this
line are active business men who know
the difficulties under which the trade has
50 long labored, and are determined to
build il up to such proportions as cannot
but attract the patronage Of the entire
Southwest.

OFFICE OF THE DAILY APPEAL,
MEMPHIS, December Is. 1863.
Since our last weekly issue, u State
Legislature has repealed the law taxing
merchants for the privilege Of doing busl-
ness, and henceforth they viii enjoy a
fair field and ask no favors from those OF
any competing city, North O. South.
The financial aspect is much the same
as at our last issue. Gold declined on
Saturday to 10, the lowest point reached
since September, 1862, when it had only
assembled to II61<. The decline caused
considerable fluctuations in Governments
and stocks, as well as the failure Of a few
houses in New York and other Eastern
cities. but here it has had no material in
huence. The offerings are light and the
demand is small. Dealers buy at New
York rates, and sell at about lc advance.
The New York market to-day closed at
1903.
Money matters are working close As
usual, though to-day our banks report
some ease. How long this viii last, how
ever. depends upon the cotton market. A
few active days in the staple would soon
deplete the currency now in their vaults.
Cotton bills are taken at &c discount as a
rule. but in a few instances they were
passed at a fraction better. The demand
for Exchange keeps pace with the offer
ings. and the selling rate ranges from par
to = discount, but an occasional squeeze
Of \ discount has been reported where
the seller was in need Of currency.
City Scrip is demoralized. It is reported
that saiIs of city notes have been made as
low as zoe bl the Comptroller to tax-pay-
ers. and in consequence dealers are very
shy. What they haye has cost them about
soc, and when they propose 10 sell at SO
S3c, they are booted at.
County Warrants are scarce and in de-
mand al 6sG70c; selling at &c.
Tennessee money is quiet and nominal;
5000 was sold during the week by a dealer
to a business frm at 67c; since which we
have heard of no operations.
Quite an interesting discussion has been
started in Eastern papers in regard 10 the
income tax, which the majority claim is
oppressive, unequal and unjust. But the
secret Of this opposition in that quarter is
exposed by the Herald, which publishes
a table based, it asserts, upon the official
re.urns Of the income tax for 1858. This
table gives, or rather pretends to give, the
sum paid as income tax per capita by the
whole population Of each State, and is as
follows:

goods are firm and in active den3sud,
while stocks are ample and probably as
well assorted as those Of New York or

styles, and that they have done an excel
lent trade this season is due partly to the
fact that they have never let their stocks
ran low, but have kept them full and re-
plete throughout the year. We quote as

TRADE.

There has been some picking up IN Dus-
7 mess during the week, and it is probable
that during the next four weeks the re-
tail trade will be particularly good in all
its branches. Christmas nick-nacks are
displayed in ~profusion, while the win
dows continue to be decorated with costly
articles of every imaginable description
pleasing to the eye. Little knots OF Ia
dies draw near each window, and the ex-
CARNATIONS " beautiful" chow lovely!'
''siut it splendidT' ETC., are heard from
one end Of Main street to the other.
The same animation is exhibited in the
| grocery market as was noted last week,
only to a greater degree, and orders pour
in rapidlv from all sections. They are in
variablv accompanied by an order TO
"sbip by return train or boat, or they will
not be received in time.' To do this, it
takes hard work, and the clink of the
hammer and dull sound Of rolling boxes
can be heard within our stores until away
into the early morning.
Meats Of all kinds are weak, though the
demand is becoming more active. A large
number of freedmen are in town laying in
their supplies for the holidays, and all Of
them buy more or less bulk meat. There
is no speculative demand, however, and
large lots would not sell except at about
4 to &c under quotations.
It will be e that hides are lower. The
tax upon foreign hides viii, no doubt, be
removed at an early day by Congress, and
in anticipation of this, tanners are not
buying.
DRY GOODS.
The wholesale Dry Goods market is re-
ported active. All standard brands of
leading staples are in demand, and prices
are firm. Brown and white shirtings
and sheetings, as well as striped goods,
have advanced fully Ic in New York dur
ing the week, but no advance has been, so
far attempted here. Prints are selling at &c
under New York quotations. In connec-
ton with prints we see that our exchanges
are exposing a little Peter Funk opera
