Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1879-02-28
GENERAL TRADE.

The weather was very cold yesterday, but
was sunny and favorable for business, but
business appeared to be "a coy as a maiden
1t was hard to catch. The day was the dull
est for a week In feed nothing was report
ed. A boat arrived at noon; less than 100
sacks Of corn was all the feed it had. THIS
looks rs if the agricultural people about
Memphis have learned the wisdom of grow
ing their own supplies. There were good
many potato sales, and the bulk OF them
were at 81 and under-down TO 81 S713.
Eggs were better; there we're fewer offerings,
and the cold favored their preservation. The
St. Louis Republican, OF Wednesday, quotes
freight from st. LOUIS to Memphis: Flour,
barrel, 25c; pork, S719c; hay, 100 pounds;
lT15c; pound frejehy 1919 100; pound
freight by barge, zoe; flour, 4Oc.
FEED As on the day before there were
no sales reported of feed. A boat from he
north has arrived; but 95 sacks OF corn was
about all of It's stock in that line. We give
