Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1880-07-02

Over 1900 sacks Of corn have been
put on this market during the past
two weeks, and while it is in a droopy
state Of value, the bulk of it has found
purchasers. During the same period
10000 barrels of meal has found its
way here, and at present hardly a bar
rel is to be found in first hands. The
volume Of trade in other lines is
equally heavy, especially in meats and
conSumptive articles generally. Flour
is steady, with a fair demand for the
the better qualities. Our receipts for
the present week reach 1900 barrels,
an increase of % per cent over the
previous two weeks. Bran is scarce,
receipts being very light for several
days, and there is some inquiry. Hay
is dead dull, in anticipation Of receipts
of the new crop, which is large aud
fine. Eggs and poultry are not 60 ac-
tive or firm. Potatoes are s~tagnant,
growers being unwilling to bring their
products in at present low prices.

mand, but prices exhibit no change.
