Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1872-09-26

A fair amount Of business was done this
morning orders from the country are increas-
ing. The feed market was quiet, the whole
demand coming within limits. No
\ boat arrived from above, consequently offer
ings were circumscribed Corn was inactive
nOminally clio sc; white 55c. oats were
inactive; nothing of Importance Offering in
the absence of arrivals; We were told that one
lot was Offering, the holder asking 42c; stocks
are very low, with some inquiry. Bran is
very scarce and there is n demand for it; 100
sold at 81, and We were informed that a lot of
Us sacks brought so 50. a lot of 200 sacks
corn bran sold last evening at so. Hay re-
mains as duh as ever, and a general quotation
ought to be-Sells for what II Will fetch. Corn
meal was again lower, sales being made at
g &. Flour is better, on the whole, than II
was a week ago, but the market is by no
/ means regularGwe can hear OF the same quail
tiles selling at different rates. In the absence
Of grades or inspection, the reporter can do
no more than present approximations; we
I give them in the table below as near as We can
get them, but We doubt If three -four men
could be found who would agree in any two
consecutive quotations. The uncertain state
OF our flour market, the fluctuations Of quail
ties, and the unsettled grades are a diScredit
TO the commercial regulations Of the city OF
Memphis. The subject might be treated with
advantage by the Chamber Of Commerce and
order brought ont of chaos. Eggs were low
er; 24c the medium price. Chickens were un-
changed and weak. Potatoes unchanged, with
reduced arrivals of loose. Cabbage was firm,
with a good demand; good fresh commanded
! from So to IS 80, but some old sold at a lower
| rate: we hear of n lot OF crates and a second

was on the market; half peaches Size; apples
6G6Z. Clear Sides were higher, RHglZHc,
some holders demanding l5c; clear rib &c
less; shoulders 6tsg5c Jhere IS some unsettled
| feeling in the provision market and rates are
n 10 entirely harmonious. Lard is very strong
/ and most dealers are asking a fraction highe
! This mornings kilograms say Of flour in New
York, heavy; :" in New Orleans, scarce and
frmer; Chicago, quiet, shippers holding OF;
Cincinnati, lower with a fair demand; St.
Louis, steady with a moderate demand. Corn
in fair demand and a shade better in New
York hrmer in New Orleans; dull and a shade
lower in Chicago only a limited Jobblng de-
mand in Cincinnati; in good demand in St.
Louis. Oats generally quiet and steady in st.
Louis, but less active and a shade lower. Pro-
visions are so changeable just now in our
market that some surprise is felt among tout
siders." We find by the kilograms that in New
York mess pork and lard are heavy; in New
Orleans pork Is nrmer, bacon quiet, lara
scarce and firm; in Louisville provisions were
strong, bacon frmer, lard higher; in Chicago
quiet and unchanged; in Cincinnati bacon
was in good demand and held higher; the st.
Louis market was firm.
