Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1881-11-14


packing labor is in progress, and indi-
cations point TO as many hogs to be
offered as were marketed last year, the
quality being perhaps somewhat infe.
rior. Present prices in the West are
l.5O per cwt grossabove last season at
this time, making the product worth
lie per lb more. At Cincinnati good
to select packing hogs are quoted at
1915 to S6.35 per cwt, poorer qualities
ranging down to $3.50. Lard has ad-
vanced lOc per cwt this week. Flour
is l6 to zoe per bill higher than a week
ago in Western markets, but is I'M
changed here, with the wholesale de-
mand light. Wheat is &c higher in
the West than a week ago, corn 3 to
4C up, oats II to &c up, and hay is stiff,
with values slightly higher. A de-
cline Of to lie per ID is noted in sugar,
and molasses is 5 to Sc per gallon
cheaper. The warm weather in Louisi.
ana has delayed grinding, and the new
crop is not going to market freely,
hence fresh arrivals met ready sales as
fast as received. A decline is noted
in whisky of 70 per gallon from prices
touched a month ago. Our local re-
eeipts for the week include $500 bbls
-four, 1000 bbls meal, 5000 SKIS corn,
