Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-08-10

The result Of the election is already
known to all the readers Of the APPEAL,
and tho effects Of that result can be easily
seen in the faces Of our business men,
who. now that a new era is dawning upo-
them. viii commence the fall trade with
brighter prospects than known at any
time since the war. It Is not our prov
ince. in this column, to discuss political
questions, but SO far as they influence
trade We must refer t. teen.
Business Is certainly Improving in all
its branches, and stocks, generally, are
large and daily improving. The demand
for dry goods, though light for the past
week. bids fair TO be better nenoeforth.
staple goods are in most demand. Prices
are firm, and are likely to be 50 until the
new cotton crop has assumed a more def
mite form and prices are re~-establishea.
There is n thing certain, however, that
fall stocks viii have to be laid in at pres
ent rates. if not an advance. Country
dealers find that they can bay Rele at less
than New York cost, with freight added,
and the volume of trade during the COM
ing season bids fair to be larger than ever
before. In the New York market the line
Of domestic cottons prices seem at last to
have settled on a comparatively firm
basis, with little prospect Of any material

Try, c-G ta-ua, the stocks on haAd are not
surpassed anywhere outside Of New York
or Boston. Messrs. Goodbar & Gilliland,
Friedman Bros, Terry 4 Mitchell, and
others, have already laid in their stocks,
which, for range, quality and rri2e, are not
equaled in the south. Of the Boston
market the Shoe and Leather Reporter
SAYS
Southern cities are mere p~umeropsly
represented than heretofore, yet many
refrain from buying, il the futile hope, as
IL seems to Us, Of prices declining, for the
position of holders indicates, If anything,
an upward tendency for several descrip-
lions, OF which the supply on hand is
limited, and such being the case, mucha as
holders like, as a rule, 10 make sales, they
are quite i~ndispOsed TO do so except at
remunerative prices, especially as manu-
f~acturers are doing but little, and, II the
demand increases, the supply will be al
! together inadequate TO meet it.
The quotations below viii show the
