Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1878-06-08
Liverpool statement for the week ending
GENERAL TRADE.

There was boat IN from above, but her
cargo was unimportant, and as the rain set
in about the time it should have got on the
market there was, therefore, only dullness,
except in hog produces, which was In active
demand, and advances daily. The potato
shippers were doing diminished business;
home grown potatoes are so far advanced
higher up the river that they are filling the
western markets to the exclusion of our
southern-grown. Chicago has been the main
dependence for some days, but yesterday tele-
grams arrived here stating that western
grown were arriving. This broke" our
market, and the prevalent price paid for po
tatoes by those who shipped at all was Soc a
barrel measure. This is hard upon our grow
ers and shippers, but the unusually forward
spring is an influence there is no resisting.
A few nice green apples arrived, and ship
pers will soon be busy with them. Yester-
day some Tennessee red onions were shipped
off, finer we never saw, but they are selling
at $3d3 25 barrel in st. Louis. The st.
Louis Republican, of Thursday, reports new
potatoes lower, owing to increased receipts
of home-grown; sales at 81 35 to So for
common to medium; choice large peerless, 81
az %; buyers paying to wagons $l9l 20
barrel measure. The Cincinnati Enquirer,
of Thursday, reports potatoes IN excessive
barrels from store; prime to choice of other
sorts, 81 50@2 a barrel. The Louisville
Courier Journal. of Thursday, reports: New
Irish potatoes, 81 1902 Is in bulk for home
grown and 50 50@2 rs for southern per bar
rel" The st. Louis Globe Democrat, of
Thursday, said of provisions: There was
general briskness In provisions yesterday,
and a corresponding buoyancy In feeling
among dealers, with the naturally attendant
strengthening In values. Pork sold slowly
but firmly at 50, both sides of river. Dry salt
meats were most noticeably affected, the adj
vance being some Is to zoe per 100 pounds;
424c bid for round lot of clear rib, and other
and held at advanced values. Lard very
scarce and alphabetically stronghold at
6.60@63Sc."
Corn III our market was quiet, with a mod
crate demand; offers Of lots "to arrive" were
