Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-03-18

ALNAAA
The general markets to-day were
fairly active, and the jObbing houses
enjoyed a moderate share of business;
butin the retail trade this could hardly
Be said with truth, as the demand for
-pring goods has not yet set in to any
Q ctent. The demand for provisions
keeps pace with the supply, which so
far this season has been light. Dealers
are not laying in the stocks of former
years, preferring to buy often and
take the advantage Of q sOftening ia
the markets, which all have looked
for and which has been going on since
the decline in gold set in, but it has
not yet reached a point where it is
thought prudent to buy largely. An
interesting comparison Of prices now
and what they were only a few weeks
ago, in leading articles Of dry goods,
will be found in our local columns.
