Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-02-05

The weather IS cool, but pleasant
and dry, and business Is quite good
in some departments while IN other
branches il is dull. This is particu-
larly the case with dry goods, which
are very quiet though firm. The WIN
ter stocks throughout the entire South
west were too heavy for the demand.
Merchants, almost without exception,
throughout the interior OVerStOcked
themselves, and as a consequence
have been hard up. They viii be
more cautious in laying il their spring
stocks, and but few of those who went
East in the fall will visit that market
this spring.
The demand for agricultural imple-
ments is improving, and plOws are
going to the country IN large num-
bers.
The number Of hogs packed at the
five principal citles-ChicagO, Mllwau-
kee, Cincinnati, Louisville and St,
LOuis-is reported at ,436, SIS, against
LAS, 40l at a corresponding date Of
last year. At this place there have
been packed 225,03, against 226,l40
last year. Cincinnati has packed
$4,000, and Louisville $500 more than
last wear. Milwaukee is -, 1906 ahead
of last season, while st. Louis is 1000
and Chicago 7j,OOOshOrt Of last season.
The total packed TO date in the five
principal cities Is about $1,000 short Of

at Milwaukee aud Chicago.
