Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-01-05

has not been active, owing to the he.vy
rains which have prevailed, masking the
roads almost impossible. The vet
weather has been general all 2 e tht
country, and from 81 directions we hear
Of swollen rivers. The troubles in Ar
kansas have not subsided. aud trade ia
that direction has almost suspended.
The reign OF terror which hss been in-
augurated in that State has affected the
business of Memphis very seriously, In
several counties no business Of any kind
has bssn transacted for some We ks.
The cotton lies lagting in the fields the
IaboTers have deserted the crops to enro.
in the militia The planters live 10 dsily
expectation OF being piuudeTed IL not
murdered /. the merchants have already
1 been robbed OF their stocks and will par-
chase no more until peace is again re-
stored. Naariy all Of ths region thus ar
| hicted is tributary TO Memphis, and the
loss Of its trade is seriously felt.
The dry goods market has been quie,
during the week from the same cause
bad weather. Prices have undergone
but little If suy change, but are grad.
ually looking upwards as raw cotton ad-
vanees. OF the New York market the
Commercial BWlsiia says: The dry
goods market sas undergone Q material
change since o last issue, the trade

Blesched shirtines remsln unchanged
in prices, but there are no indications
which look to en- advance shirt makers
are buying freely, and the mos. popular
brands are sold ahead of production.
There is a better demand Tor drills sId
prices sre tending UpRsrd. Cotton Fl gn-
nels sell slowly, the supply is greater
tnan the demsnd, and prices, though not
quotsily lower, are weak. We have no
change to notice in prints, deIsines or
ginghams; the demand is very light,
but prices are well maintained. There
is but little doing in woolsn goods; the
market is unsettled by the report Of fall
ures ia this branch Of business. Foreign
goods are very quiet the fall seasOn is
over, and il is too early TO open spripg
styles. The season has been q poor one
for importers"
The boot and shoe market is firm with
moderate stocks only. The heavy makes
have been pretty generally sold OF, aud
our dealers enter the new year uEdeT
very favorable auspices. Some Of them
leave for the East ia q short time 20
make their selections Of spring goods,
aud though q moderate " filing up " de-
maod is looked for during the mex month
or 50, no especial activity is anticipated
until the spring trade sets in.
Ia other markets matters are about SIS
they were. Meats Of ali kinds are in
demand only 10 q small way, and at
present prices our merchants are sfraiG
TO lay in large stocks. There is no de-
mand for corn from the country, and
dealers are del eldent altogether upon
the local demand. Potatoes are ia large
supply snd are dull. Choice planting
varieties are bought on speculation, but
as yes there IS no call for them.
