Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1878-07-09
GENERAL TRADE.


ment OF the month, has been rather more act
i've in groceries and provisions, and the re-
tail stores were benefited by the large attend
ance of country visitors on the Fourth of July,
In the feed and produce departments business
Is dull; the demand for corn has decreased,
and fruit and vegetable shipping are about
over, owing to the impossibility of making
profits. Corn was in demand, with mere
pittance arriving; sales of 1873 sacks of white
at 5012c; 81 sacks of white ear corn at Soc;
third small lot arrived, but was taken into
store. Oats-saIe of two carloads of mixed
at Csc. Bran was wanted, with none offer
ing; $12 80 was offered "to arrive,'' and eff
forts were making to get it for that at Nash
vile, as $3 a ton freight will not allow of it
being obtained in st. Louis. The st. Louis
boats now discriminate against Memphis,
charging higher for freights to this city than
to either Vicksburg or New Orleans; we give
the rates on the second page. Hay remains
very quiet; carload of mixed sold at 80;
choice timothy quotes at SIS. Cornmeal

LaCroix & Schilling, of the Memphis stock
yard, report no change in this weeks cattle
market. There Is a good demand for choice
beeves, the supply of which is not sufficient
for local wants. The supply OF medium and
common cattle is also light. Operations in
these grades are confined to spectators, who
seem encouraged by the prospect of better
prices. Hogs are not In demand;
sheep are few, with light inquiry.
