Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1878-06-01
GENERAL TRADE.

The market yesterday was dull; the boat
from up stream got In too late for its freight
to affect transactions. The lot of corn that
arrived the day before-2650 sacks-was
Bran has obviously been 'easy" for two or
three days; sales at $l3 and $l3 SO have
Geen made, but kept quiet; cornbraD, how
ever, retains its figures. Hay is very hard to
sell, and those having it to dispose of find
their efforts and the warm weather trying to
the human system. There was more eager
ness on the part or shippers to get potatoes,
and offerings for them for this mornings de-
livery were higher. Green apples are making
their appearance, and the shippers will soon
be busy with them. Eggs were cause of
grief; the weather is warm, the call for them
small, and prices have never been so low all
the season. Some Georgia peaches arrived;
they were ruddy, but too small to receive
much attention. The New Orleans Plea
yI1le, of Wednesday, had the following:
fair supply and moderate demand for corn
at 53@56c; oats, 35c; bran, 75c; hay in large
supply and moderate demand; prime,

shippers, finding their ventures to turn out
better than expected, showed eagerness to
obtain supplies yesterday, and in the after
noon were offering 81 rs a barrel measure
for choice lots, and in one or two cases for
whole crops; during the day 81 50@1 60
