Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1879-06-27

the usual summer dullheSS between
the seasons. Our spring trade has
been larger in volume than the most
sanguine had reason to hope for. For
the next sixty days quietness is ex-
pected, and the usual annual closing
up of books and accounts will be the
chief occupation of our tradesmen.
The most active item at present is the
laying in Of bagging supplies for the
coming fall and winter demand.
Round lot figures in New York a week
ago were 9i@llc as per quality. The
potato trade was quite spirited
yesterday and to-day, owing to
favorable news regarding a continued
demand at lucrative prices in several
Western cities. Dealers here paid all
the way from 1925 to 3.25 per barrel
measure, as in quality. A decreased
demand is noticed for corn and feed,
with lower prices. Meats continue to
move freely. Flour is weak, with a
slack movement. Chickens are album
dant, the market having been over
stocked the past three days. Eggs, if
fresh, meet ready sale. A hatboat
with 300 bales of mixed hay and clear
timothy belonging to Cooper arrived
from Leavenworth, in the Ohio, eve
ming before last. Prices are lower.
