Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1881-01-10

Wy suOImy weather, low WaUef III al
rivers, north and south, and an almost
total suspension Of navigation to all
points by ice blockades, even Arkan-
sas, White and st. Francis river
steamers being compelled to stop their
trips from this cause, an unusual
occurrence in this southern latitude.
The holiday season Of dullness also
has its share ofinfuence, though this
is as nothing compared to the other
impediments. The markets have been
a little irregular, though prices have
not materially changed. Flour is just
as it was, though wheat is slightly
higher cornmeal is easier and at
lower figures corn has also declined
a Iittlo oats are firm and up a cent OF
two; hay exhibits an easier tone
meats are a shade better, values being
about 30 above prices a week ago
lard is also up a little whisky is firm
but otherwise unchanged coffee is
quiet and &c lower on all grades
sugar has been in active demand al
prices fully ic higher than last week
molasses, also, holds up stiff rice is
unchanged. A strong feeling is noted
for seed potatoes, and most recent sales
Of round lots show prices up 10c per
barrel, the impression prevailing hat
stocks during seeding time are certain
to run light. A scarcity Of poultry
is also noted and prices show i'm
proyement, while eggs are unsettled
and move slowly, consumers being un.
willing to buy freely while values are
held up so. In fruit and general
produce the movement has been Sc
limited that no comment is necessary.
