Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-03-09

= low a material appreciation IN values
l of every description of provisions,
save, possibly, lard. General stocks
3 are greatly reduced in Chicago, that
Of D. S. meats unusually light, whilst
the demand has been extraordinary
amounting within the past two weeks
to fully 4,0OO,0 900 lbs. per week. AT
Milwaukee the reduction IS even
|, greater than in Chicago, and its com
/, petition, as a point of supply, will
soon cease to be felt in the general
trade. Cincinnati, though during the
entire packing season expressing a
want of confidence and an apprehen-
sion that prices were ruinOusly high,
is beginning to realize that in cases of
necessity prices have very little effect,
and that her stocks are so rapidly dis
appearing under the unexpected de-
mand as to make it necessary for her
dealers to replenish, as they have
been doing at Chicago and elsewhere.
Louisville, though cutting more hogs
than usual, soon discovered that her
supplies were inadequate, and for
some time has been drawing from
other points, and yet the drain upon
her has been so great that she has been
unable to accumulate. Here, out of
some 245,000 hogs cut, an import of
the product of $4,000 from st. Joseph,
large and liberal receipts from nearby
points, and a heavy import from Chi
cagO, there is not estimated to be the
product Of %, 1000 hogs, and yet the de-
mand from the Southern States alone
is 100000 lbs. per week, and that
from other consuming districts is in
creasing; there is not only a small
stock here, but it is so ~imperfectly dis
tributed that several of our largest
operators are reduced to the necessity
/ Of buying from week to week to meet
daily wants, and ia furnishing sup
plies do so out of whatever they may /
happen to have, without respect to
whether tits cured or not. The show
ing of receipts at New York, Balti-
more, Philadelphia, the FIVE western
cities, and the larger distributing
/ points at the South, are conclusive as
to a quiet but effective drain upon the
country, and render it pretty certain
that those who have been looking to
those broad acres for supplies to re-
plenish the exhausted stocks of the
city, will be sadly disappointed. The
export trade is likely to disappOint all
save constant watchers. In barrel
| pork and lard it is in excess of last
year, in cut meats it is only about two
millions short, and as the export Of
these is likely to increase Immediately
after lent, there is no question thatthe
exports Of the present Will exceed
those of last year. In consuming dis
tricts at home, the increased demand
has been surprising, which, without
/ going over the entire field of conSump-
ton, may be illustrated by the repre-
! sentative market OF New Orleans,
where there were received Ia Eebru-
airy, 1881, 200 lbs. bacon and bulk
meats against 4,497 300 lbs. in Febru-
airy, 1869, and where the consumption
for last month was 5,6S7 500 lbs. against
3,463,00o lbs. for the corresponding
month OF last year, and as the month OF
March opens there with 10000 lbs.
bacon and bulk meats, and 1884 bbis.
Of pork less than were held on the LIST
of March, 1869, it would seem impos-
sible that prices could decline at the
South, or that the acquisitions upon
the West could be otherwise than
large. Under these circumstances tly
one, even a child, should be able to
read the horoscope Of the coming
market.
