Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-10-30
TRADE.

Business to-day was active and pIlces
generally sustained. The Fair was well
attended. and during the afternoon our
principal streets were almost deserted by
the ladies who had gone in a body to see
the sights al the grounGs Of the Agricul-
tural Association.
The awards TO The prize bales Of cotton
were made to-day and a report of the
matter viii be found in our local columns.
It is probable that the cotton competing
for the different premiums was equal to
any ever before seen at a similar exhibit
tioa, and we are safe in saying that there
never waC . like number of bales of as
fine quality collected together before.
Since the above was written we learn
that the awards Will not be made until to-
morrow, as the large number of bales
could not be sampled in time to-day. The
cotton upon the ground will not fall short
of 800 bales. and an idea may be formed
of its classification or quality, when We
state that a buyer is reported to have bid
Sic round for the lot.
Some sugar and Molasses of the new
crop arrived to-day from New Orleans,
consigned to Galbreath, Stewart & Co.
1t is a fair sample Of the coming crop, and
The RFEt which has come to this market.
Probably nothing would give a better
idea Of our country thaa the facts set forth
in the statistics Of immigration. Since
the organization Of our Government,
eighty years ago, a people of 5000, 900, Of
European extraction, have become 10000
600, not altogether by natural increase,
but in part 10y immigration, in a ripping
stream at first, which has gathered vol
ume until its current is equivalent to a
third Of a million annually, and its total
aggregation 5000, 900. 1t is one of the
mal wells ofihe eventual nine years since
! 1860, that one-fourth OF all the Immigrants
who have ever sought our shores have
come during the frightful civil war or
since Its cl0ee, Two millions of human
beings, twO-thirHs ~ maRy as fought the
war Of the Revolution, have thRs been
added to our numbers since the taking Of
the last census.
During the past nine years the arrivals
| Of immigraHts make an aggregate of p

The German immigration has been
large since the war, amounting to 343, 1S3,
and the total for four years past exceeds

Gus years. Tbs largest influx from Great
