ton by the thousand bales. Then follows
of necessity a. augmented demRnd for
groceries, Rnd dry goods, and shoes. The
grocery trade is already, for the season,
unusually active. The market Is more
richly furnished with plantation supplies
than ever before for years past, and small
orders delight tradesmen by their multi
plicity snd solvency. The special fact
that delights us Is that we are
selling al lower than Cincinnati n
Louisville prices, when freight and in
~sursnce charges are added to these. 1t Is
also a pleasing fact that our trade with
Arkansas is daily growing, and less OF
the business of that State is done in st.
Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati b | n
recent years. TIT crops Of districts trtbu-
tsry to Memphis are better than else
where in the South, and we hear That
large amounts of Eastern capital VIII be
gathered here to b invested in cotton or
aid in the cheap transfer of crops to the
East. Bankruptcies are unknown, and
even from Mississippi and remote coun-
ties of Alabama farmers and merchants
come hither who before traded in
Memphis. There was never a business
season that opened with brighter auguries
of rich rewards to trsdesmen ofall classes.
New cotton is selling at 1920; bacon at
| s@sKc; provisions and grain are low; the
South will make almost enough corn for
home consumption. Dry goods mon have
large stocks selected, like the great sup
ply of boots and shoes, especially for this
market, and any Eastern order filled VIII
be duplicated in this city. Intelligent
merchants say That the trade of Memphis
will be from q third to one-hslf greater
| this than last year, The territory of our
| shoe dealers and iron mongers is rapidly
widened, and the hardware and sgrical-
tursl implement dealers report a rapid
extension of their trade n districts
they never invaded before. To day meats
