Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-12-03
TRADE,

Business was not brisk to-day and prices
are still unsettled on many staple arti-
eles. Few country people are in the city,
and the bulk of business is done through
the medium of orders.
ASt. Louis exchange says Of hogs in
that market: There has been but little
change in prices for some days. Packers
appear to have settled down about 50 SO
TO 50 IS, and only above these figures for
smooth, weii-fatted hogs, $50 lbs. weight.
some sales have been made at $40, and
even as high as SO p has been obtained
for choice well-fatted heavy weights. a
great number Of the arrivals were only
what might be considered grass fat, and
much of this quality could not be strained
over S9to - 10, and some few lots weigh
ing below two hundred pounds only
brought S. IS. Several car loads of this
class were bought and shipped TO Cincin-
natl. There are more on hand than viii
do the houses in operation for n days
good work. Holders are not disposed TO
Hinch and the market is firm at prices
named. At Cincinnati and Louisville the
published receipts show a considerable
decrease from last season. The packers at
Dhese two places ave for thirty years es-
tablished the prices OF hogs at killing
time, and still continue to do so. Hogs
are firm there at a traction above the rates
anywhere west Of the A~Ileghanies."
