Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-09-06

GENERAL r
Feed remains stagnant throughout. but
more frmness up the river In or on two aTti-
cleS, while the advance in .freights have stiff
ened some Of the quotations. Corn remains
very duh, occasional arrivals OF lots from
down the river iostle with those from above,
and the demand remains slight O0ts were
in little more favor, the nominal price is Sc,
but nothing was done TO TX rates; they are
firm and in good demand in New York; steady
IN CINCINNATI and LoulsNlAei. quiet IN ~.

brings a better price: a few days ago sales were
made at SIG; II sold Today at SIC 5@7. Hay
is entirely neglected q lOl OF red-tOp mixed,
for which holders asked - in the morning,
was at length offered at 3O92l and still no
buyer could be found; some mixed Western
brought 81 50. In 81. Louis there is a strong
Outcry about falsely packed hay. A cOrre-
spondent writing in the 81. Louis Democrat re-
marks; "A man that buys baled hay In the
81. Louis market now is more frequently
cheated than dealt honestly by. This is not
50 much the fault Of the merchant as the dis
honesty OF the packers. When these packers
learn that their hay is % be inspected, our
livery men and owners Of stock viii have a
good guarantee that they VIII getthe article
they pay for as to quality. Now, the uncer-
tainty Of getting good hay Is so great, that our
draymen and hVerymen are afraid 70 BUY
largely of any one lOt-fearful OF being
cheated.~ COrHmeGf showed more strength,
and there were some sales made at 2 70, an
Improvement of 5 cents. This IS partly owing
70 decreased receipts, and partly to the adj
vance in freights from st. Louis 70 Memphis.
Flour, without changing rates, presents a
more confident attitude IN CINCINNATI there

sold to-day at 2925c. Chickens showed some
further advance, hne old selling as high as 50

the advance in freights has probably some
thing to do withthis advanee. bacon lsste9dy,
but there was asight giving way IN Clear
sides, and-we quote an inside figure 70 them.
The St. Louis Democrat Of Wednesday reports:
"The river is still slowly falling, and 1relghts
are steady and hrm. Business on Change was
moderately active, with no special or lmpor-
tant alteration in prices OF leading articles
Flour is held with more nrmness, and there Is
a better demand for all sOund grades than pre-
vailed last week. Wheat Is strengthening
daily under the favorable tenor OF seaboard
and foreign adY1ces, and the prospect mai
there Will be a good market for ali of Amer1-
cafg-Surplus breadSrufs this year is decidedly
cheering. Spring wheat sells readlly az g
for al grades, except No. z white mixed IN
bulk, which was not inquired for. oats were
stiff at the opening, but let down some before
b close Of Change. Hay is in good demand
for choice, and inner common IS plenty ana
dull There is nothing new in Provisions and
trade is moderate, and prices STEADY clear
through the list We repeat the river rate
Of frefghts from st. Louis 10 Memphis as now
charged. Flour, potatoes, etc, Gc; pork, oOe
freight, per 100 lbs zoe; hay, per 100 lbs, SC.
The Cincinnati Enquirer OF tuesday says OF
provisions there: Inc market ruiee qulet
for nearly all articles the greater portion oi
the week, and 50 closed. Concessions We're IN
some cases granted, though there was nc pres
sure 10 sell. What demand was experienced
was from consumers. There IS no disposition
on the part Of spectators to operate. IL addS
that mess pork was inactive az uLcnangeu
rates; bacon was easier anu neu ~
during the week; lard was nrmer. Inc lasI
weeks review Of the Chicago hRterOceun says
There is very little life in the provision mar
ket, and sales during the past week nave been
few and unimpOrtant. There is no disposition
manifested among operators TO make new
trades for delivery before the opening OF the
winter packing season. About all The mes
pork has centered into the hands OF the al
legged corner or is held by parties VINO nave
contracts TO I'LL during the coming month";:
The stocks Of meats are exceedingly ilgnt ana
held by parties who are not exceedingly anX-
fOus TO dispose of them. The orders on the
market have been filled or Withdrawn ana
the inquiry for present delivery Is rather
light. The stock Of mess pork at present IS
large, but as old pork Will not be regular on
contracts after the last DAY OF DeceInDeI,
some will have to be manufactured 10 supply
the speculative movement The attention OF
our packers viii be more directly draWnt 70
the manufacturing OF English meats, ana y
trade will be largely increased
