Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-08-22

to vast proportions. Why Memphis may
not intercept a large share Of it, without
detriment to New Orleans, it is difficult
to explain, Surely there has been great
remissness in this matter on the part ola
mercantile community deemed every
where most enterprising, and 1t Is weu
that measures are about to be adopted
which assure us that the tobacco trade OF
! Memphis in lS69-7O will be far greater
fban ever before. There will be a meet
ing at h hall Of the Chamber Of Com
merce tomorrow to consider the ques-
tions to which we have eursorily adj
verted.
Lee Gardner. a Tennesseean, went to
Evansville two years ago and opened a
Tobacco Trade Sales Room. He was
/ laughed for his alleged folly. When he
sold his first hogshead at auction he paid,
we are told, a carpenter to leave his bench
and become a bidder. Gardner sold last
wear 1000 h~ogsheads, and this year, as we
are advised, he will sell 1000.
There is no reason why all the tobacco
grown in Western Tennessee, and in Ken
tue.v alongthe line ofMemphis railroads,
should not find its primary market in
Memphis.
