Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1876-08-29

THE PRODUCE markets curing the
week were dull. Trade in the west is
slowly improving; the receipts OF new
grain is awakening activity. Ia St.
Louis wholesale dealers and jobbers re.
port marked improvements. Hog pro-
ducts, the Chicago Tribune, of Saturday
says: "Were in better demand and
stronger, on the speculative articles,
while meats were tame and easier. The
receipts of hogs were rather small, but
there was no improvement in prices.
Nevertheless, the tone of other markets
wss s;esdier, and-a good many operators
thought it prt b able that prices have de.
cIined about es low as they will go for
| the present. For that reason the short
| interest were more dispt sad to fill in,
| and a few long purchases were made.
| The recent decline has caused a falling
| off in the number of hogs coming for
ward though the fear that prices would
| drop still lower on larger supply may
have something to do with 1t. The loss
| of $500 to 1000 ties of lard on steamer
burned at sea was reported on Change,
and that tended to strengthen the mar
| ket, as the loss is a considerable percent
age of the total visible supply Of the
