Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-07-20

" "
Trade to-day was anything but active,
there heIng but few country buyers in
the city, and nearly, if not quite all the
orders received having been shipped.
A. usual, there was SEINE political stir
on Front street, the merchants of that
t~hOrOughfare having ample time to dis
cuss the merits Of the many candidates
for public favor; but outside of this and
a few light shipments of plantation sup
plies there was little doing. Groceries
were generally quiet, and excepting
coffee there was a light movement in
the staple articles. Advices from east
ern quarters noted a decline, but
as stocks were comparatively small it
had little or nc effect upon this market.
In its review regarding this article the
AIgericaR Grocer of July 18th has the
following telegram from Wright d Co:
RIO De JANEIRo, June L.
Sales Of coffee for the United States

ments for the United States, 81, 900 bags;
loading for the United States, $1,000
bags; stock at date, 10000 bags;
average daily receipts, 1900 bags; and
adds the following: There is no change
whatever to note in the market here for
BTaZils. JObbers are wholly occupied in
closing out their previous heavy pur-
chases, and we have not a sale from first
hands TO report. Holders still insist on
full prices, arguing that a renewal OF the
demand will soon take place, and buy
ers Will be obliged 10 pay prices asked.
The above telegram, however, shows
increased purchases and shipments to
the United States, while the stocks and
supplies in first hands, as given
belOE, are still large, and will be largely
increased during the next two
weeks. We still quote as asking prices,

OF the same date says: "The movement
in Brazil coffee from importers hands
continues light, and the market was
void of features Of interest. Holders,
however, express confidence, and ito not
urge supplies, and the prices previously
current are still well supported. Doubt
less the general suspension OF business
for several days of last week, and the
clogged state of the CustOmhOuse ave
nues, owing TO the pressure 10 Release
coffee and tea from the bonded ware
houses, thus occupying the attention
of dealers, has something to do
with the present quiet feeling"
Provisions We're a shade fiTmer, and with
bat ahght stock prices for the next few
days viii undoubtedly be controlled by
the larger holders. Mess pork is in
light demand at Sl3 30. Bacon clear
sides are steady at Sc, with sales of
small lots to the city trade at that price.
Clear rib and shoulders are in light re-
quest at quotations. In Grain and Feed
the movement was small and receipts
light. Corn was a shade frmer, with
sales of white at 62lG65c, as to order.

unchanged. Br0R-No transactions re-
ported. Hdg was in moderate demand,
