Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-07-26

The volume Of business in the leading
branches of trade was light to-day, and
Front street shared in the general
quietude. In order 10 create at
least some small stir in the vi
cinity OF Madison street, a chicken
Main was gotten up by several
parties, and witnessed by not less than
half of those doing business in that To-
cality. Receipts Of produce were aug
mented considerably by the arrival OF
one cargo and the usual c~onsignnients
by rail Bacon and grain were the lead
ing features of the-day's business. In
the former We find that sales of Clear
Sides were made to the city trade a. Gle,
and at that price the market was firm
with a light stock; Clear RIO is In light
demand only, and steady at sc; we
found n or two light sales of Shoulders
at &c, although &c was the general rate;
SUgdr-C Cured Hams are firm at l4d,I4lc
for secOnd-elass, and sales Of choice were
made al l5c. Lard is a shade firmer,
and 94c theinside price for refined fierce;
keg is quoted lc higher. Breakfast Bd-
con was steady at l0Gl04c for round
lots. Bdtiaq StlLgS are firm and IN
changed. Butter wa in moderate re-
quest only, and sales Of strictly cfoice
Western in small packages could have
been made at 22c. Eggs were in better
supply and dull at l2c for fresh arrivals.
Chickens were duh at quotations. Gro
Ceries generally firm and unchanged.
COrnmBdl suffered a decline of SC, owing
70 large receipts. Corn was a SHADE
easier, but sales generally were at pre-
Vious quotations. Oats have declined
somewhat in upper markets, and
dealers were not disposed TO buy at
the prices asked. Hay is in good
supply aud prices unchanged. Flour
unchanged with a hight demand
and liberal offerings. Fruit dull, with
q liberal stock OF apples and peaches.
