! We were pleased to see Isaac Kean,

absent from one or two sales, being in
attendance on the Memphis CONNER
cial Convention, as a delegate from
the Board of Trade of this city. He
bought forty three hogsheads.
At noon, a handsome lunch was
spread, and the solids and fluids were
discussed in a pleasant manner.
The market closed firm, with an up
ward tendency, but we give our for

The prospects for big sale on Fri
day are fattering. and Weldon, Bros.
& Co. will have about so hogsheads
from Hopkins and Muhlenburgh
Counties, Ky. Martin, Gardner &
Co. will also probably have 70 or 100
hogsheads, principally from Cumber-
land and Green Rivers.
TINE CARD-STREET RAILROAD
| We call attention to the notice in the
local column giving the schedule of
the time on the street railroad after
June L. The first car will leave the
stable near the depot at 4 AM and
the last car will leave the Artesian
Springs Park at 104 PM. This will
afford chance to those who desire
to stay late at the Springs to enjoy
themselves at this deli ghtful Summer
retreat, and we have no doubt many
will avail themselves of the Oppor-
tunity to get away from the heat and
dust of the city in the evening, and
spend a few hours in the beautiful
park, enjoying the pure fresh air.
A GooD Work PRoGREssING.--We
are pleased to notice that the hideous
ditch, once called canal, that trav
ersed our city from the northeast t.
the southwest, is being filled up from
Fulton Avenue to First Avenue, il
Lamasco, and that the work is nearl!
completed.
Just west of Leet Street it ha
not only been filed up, but Jim Wilt
shire has built fine addition to hi
cooper shop, extending some distanc
over the space lately occupied by tn
canal.
