OUR merchants are now bitterly

by the railroads TO through freights.
We understand they have paid thou
sands Of dollars Grayage for goods
sent to the depots, and refused to be
forwarded. COnsignees have been de-
prived OF their purchases to a large
extent, and We hear Of country mer-

here, and ordering them to be forwar-

goods, before the purchases made here
had been forwarded. This must be

THE Conventional Interest bill at

tons. But we see no reason why
they should make through contracts
10 the exclusion of the local business.
Even if it is presently more profitable
to the roads, it is an injustice to the
public which ought to be remedied.
If the roads running out of Memphis
do not owe a first duty to the mer-
chants of Memphis, we know not to
whom their obligations are superior.
We understand the officers of all the
roads admit and urge the necessity o.
providing a more abundant supply d
stock. But stockholders, penny wise
and pound foolish, are too greedy for
dividends to incur the expenditure.
And so the usefulness of the railroads
is diminished, the prospect Of fu-
lure increase of business cut of,
the merchants and consumers Of city
and country incOmmOded and dam
aged; snd, as the natural result, the
value of railroad stocks in the mar.
ket is diminished and steadily goes
down.
We cannot attribute any design on
the part Of the managers of these
roads to do anything to induce or con-
tinue this state of things. But in the
name Of the mercantile community
Of Memphis, we ask them to remedy
it 10 the utmost. Justice to the city
and to those who trade here requires
that treights from abroad should not
be taken to the exclusion of purchas-
Is made from our own merchants.
That is the most e1ectual way ofsup-
pressing the city trade which could be
devised.
1t is incumbent on the management
here to counteract and refuse to be
controlled by Northern railroad COM
b~inations, which may have been made
for the express purpose of cutting of
our local trade and b~enefting North
ern cities and capitalists. That Is
the effect of the present process, and
we are not surprised that III mer-
chants should become indignant.
They have helped build our roads and
now want a fairshare of their use and
advantages. If the necessary addi-
tiUnal rolling stock cannot be put on
at once, this at least can be done-the
local freights can be taken in prefer
enee, as they ought to be, if all cannot
go through. The damage will be i'm
mense and in~calculable if the remedy
is not provided, and Northern and
Western cities will be built
up at our expense. Can it be doubted
that the roads running from the city
East and South, will ultimately be
damaged in their business by this
process? What reduces the business
of this city will diminish their profits.
Their freights will be few and far be-
tween, during no inconsiderable por-
ton of every year, when the grass be-
gins to grow on u streets, because of
the advantage given to more North
ern cities, by a system which gives to
their freights preference over our
The policy is suicidal and de-
structive to all concerned. Let the
management be so fair as to leave no
room for eOmDiaiut on spcOunf IF tho
too common abuses of monopolies.
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-02-11

WE find in a circular of one of our
wholesale dry goods houses some very
sensible suggestions, addressed not
only to wholesale dealers, but also to
country merchants. For instance, 1t
is insisted that wholesale dealers
should buy no faster than they can
sell, have no unnecessary weight of
stock to carry, and turn yer their
stocks rapidly at low figures. Coun-
Try merchants have been in the habit
Of buying in the spring and fall. But
monthly purchases, facilitated by
railway transportion, being made,
consumers can be kept better sup
piled with goods always fresh; and
e at ten per cent. profit more
honey is made by the retailer turn
ng owe his capital a dozen times a
year than Will be made by
ny old fogy competitor who
icks 10 the old practice
f semi-annuaI purchases and
wenty five or fly per cent. profits.
There is no DOUBT Of it. The retailers
yho are wide awake, asking small
profits and depending on the amount
IF sales and repetition for success, will
upply the consumers pretty etfectual-
y, while the old style semi-annual
coaches are going and coming. Greed
or large profits does not make thriv-
ng merchants. We have seen men
tnxiOus to sell their property, while
nobody would go TO them to buy, be-
'ause it was plain they would not sell
At a low figure. A kindred practice
and reputation must be fatal tOa mer-
chant, and the apple-stand keeper will
1est him making money. We have
40 doubt that country merchant who
will buy in Memphis ten times ayear
md sell quick at low rates and even
Il five per cent. will beat any dealer
Kho goes to New York two or four
imes a year and sells his goods at fifty
Der cent. This is a fast age, and mer-
hants will consult their own interests
Is well as those of their customers il
Jhey will spur up and keep up with it.

people Of Arkansas prefer to build a
city within the borders Of that State,
and, repulsed by the indifference OF
Memphis, appeal for aid to St. Louis.
1t thus happens that Helena, by build
ing a road 10 Iron Mountain, will
probably secure the terminus Of our
