Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-09-12

houses had all they could do in the way of
filling orders and the local packets had
very good trips.
Considerable amounts of broom corn
are coming in and passing by on steamers
bound up the river. The crop in this
vicinity. where it was planted early
enough to get a good start before the
drouth set in, has yielded very well, but
much of the late planting was set back for
want of rain. Our quotations below give
an idea of our market, but the tendency
of prices is downward. Two broom fac
tories have been established in M near
our city this season, and they nearly sup
DIV the local demand. They will make
up all required in this market at an early
day. One factory on Towards Row,
owned by WOlcott & Smith, turns out
about p dozen per day, and is being X
tended so as to have a capacity of at least
100 dozen per day. 1t is impossible for
| Northern manufacturers to compete with
prices here. 1t would be the same in
many other things if capitalists had
the enterprise to embark in them.
