Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-12-29
GENERAL mARKEr.

The remarkable and intense cold from
which we are suffering was less bitter
this morning, and the relief afforded by
the slight change caused 8 more cheer
ful feeling, coDpled with the hope that
an early elapg win send the snow from
the grOuac and the fatal ice from the
river. The means Of communication
are. 50 much interrupted by the Excess
sive rigOr OF the weather, that thousands
of dollars worth of merchandise, much
Of il Of a perishable nature, which has
been shipped for this city, has not yet
come to hand. Produce merchants are
receiving kilograms daily asking after
eggs, cabbages. chickens, ETC., which
they have shipped, but Of which no word
has been heard by the parties here that
should have received them. What sort
of condition they viii be in on arrival
may be conceived-OgJtfs % gele, and
chdUr ca fTOidde glGce-frOzen eggs and
ice cabbages-are likely to figure prOmi-
nently in Memphis bills Of fare for weeks
10 come. A lot of bbls of eggs, frozen,
sold at 27e, and bbls of them resold at
sic; the quotation of good eggs remain
at former rates, the danger Of frost caus-
ing all holders to be DESTROYS of clearing
of their stocks. Chickens and all de-
condition as yesterday, those alive are
insO poor looking a condition from cold
thst there is no possibility of advantage
in Keeping them for better prices; dead
are rOzen and must not be kept on hand,
for thaw viii spoil them. Under these
circumstances regular prices cannot be
looked for. The spirit of these remarks
holds equally true Of most vegetables and
fruits; oranges, for instance, can be had,
frozen, at s. a bbl, while sound are
worth SHOP; onions, frozen, g bbl,
sound 81 Notwithstanding the loss OF
tive or three fiatbOat loads OF potatoes by
thecatastrophe in the river the other
night, they can be bought at former
prizes at So in round lots, the fear Of
possible freezing OfisettiRg the other in
fiuence. Cabbage comes under similar
remarks. Hogs are in fair demand at
S7(asc. Pigs feet retain the quotations
we gave a week ago, lots can be had at
= . a keg. Green bulk pork remains
sXsctly at yesterdays quotations. No
tGsses menifest some irregularity, but
rom IS TO Csc covers al extremes.
ftoUr, without changing quotations, is
easier to-day, the rise in the therm0me-
Z s-giYipg hope Of free shipments to ar
rive Feed Is demoralized throughout,
and we give quotations below only as
such as came to our notice; there is
much irregularity and no confidence in
rates that extends fOrty-eight hours
ahead.
