Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1873-05-20

The Belle Memphis came down early
wi b 400 tons and went back light. The
City of Helena arrived at noon from st.
Louis, and discharged 20 tons here and
had 400 tons for Vicksburg. The Bod
mann, up from New Orleans, put out
about go tons and added 200 bales cotton
for the Ohio. She had also some so tons
of scrap iron, 100 tons of miscellaneous
! freight and over sixty cabin passengers
going through, and left here at noon.
The Nashville, from the Arkan-
sas to the Ohio, put out SO
bales of cotton and had nothing
for the Ohio. The Parker arrived with
four hundred tons, as notified in yerter-
days eminent family and commercial
| journal, which, true to the wants of the
commercial community, published the
Parker's manifest before her arrival,
and will so continue to do when such
favOrs are sent. The Port Gibson ar
rived from Little Rock on her way to
st. Louis, to be keel-hauled, but re-
mained here over night. The Belle or
Shreveport went down before dark with
as much freight as she could handle In
Red river at the present stage OF water,
and added a few passengers and
some furniture here. The Yaeger was
l W 1tdNt DdloSCu hP liz
| afternoon, but no definite idea of her
cargo or even her arrival could be OBJ
tanned, as she hardly stopped her wheel
to make a landing. As usual the
local packets went out well ladened.

e | There is a Captain Dugan of the Eckert
