The past season has been an evsntful one
in the history of the wholesale grocery trade
of Memphis-specially noted for The uupre-
cedented high range of prices in several
leading commodities, coupled with volume
of business altogether unprecedented. l. il
to be regretted that the absence OF oficisl
figures OF imports, exports and prices here
tofore obtainable through our Chamber OF
Commerce are wanting, and that reviews OF
our annual trade and commerce must per-
force be based upon individual estim ate
rather Than official data. The addition OF a
statistical department TO our Cotton Ex-
change, covering daily receipts and prices of
leading articles in our market, is one CT the
pressing wants of our business community
that should not be longer overlooked. In
sugars and molasses an average business has
been transacted, and prices have undergone
no material fluctuations, while cofees, the
trade In which has been very large, have
declined steadily in price from 163c for
prime in September last, to 10sG9l1c at
present. Owing partly to low prices, receipts
have exceeded any previous year. In man
ufaetured tobaccos the years business has
also been the largest ever known, with won
derful uniformity in prices. Flour, which
opened at basis of IS 30 for No. l, ad-
vanced in June to s. fer the same grade, and
with a heavily-sustained business and un-
precedentsd receipts, added 20 fine yield of
wheat througho The whole country, closes
with this report al S. 2545 80 for choice No.
l grades. Cornmeal has constituted lead
ing feature OF trade, receipts being liberal
and the capacity OF five local mills taxed TO
their utmost during six months of the yesr
Prices in June attained the fabulous range
of 81 9095, and at no time ranged
below The price OF s.. If the BUSH
ness in breadstuffs has been large, that
in meats has been simply immense, the
volume OF receipts being equsled only
by the very high range of prices. Open
ing In November last at 9lc for dry salt, and
lO3c for clear rib bacon, prices steadily ad-
vanced, and with but slight and uDimportant
fluctuations continued 10 tend upward until,
for the closing week OF the year, We are COM
PEELED to quote dry salt 144c, clear rib ba-
con l54c, and mess pork S23 rs. These prices
have not been equaled since the war, and
furnish the best and most convincing of evil
denee 10 our planting community of the
utility OF keeping their smokehous4s at
home IN future instead of in Illinois, Iowa
and Kansas. The Introduction of cotton
seed oil as a substitute for lard has largely
decreased the consumption of that article,
aud prices have not kept pace With other hog
products. In the minor artieles of groceries,
while the business of the season is reported
as large and remunerative, the variations in
prices have not been such as 10 call for
special mention. Receipts of sugar and mo-
iasses direct from plantation have been very
liberal considering shortness of crops during |
past season. Prospect for preseat season |
very hatiering. There will doubtless be a |
very large crop this year, and large receipts |
ire expected.

POTATOES.

We have endeavored to collect accurate
statistics of the present seasons yield of po-
,atoes, with results showing that eight estab-
lishments have engaged in the business the
past season, the amount of their shipments
aggregating 81 ,176 barrels. This shows an
excess over the same class of shipments the
previous season of full three;old count
About half the number of houses report
their business greater by 100 per cent, while
the remainder report doing nothing at all
last season or previously. There was a
steady demand for potatoes in northern mar,
kets at satisfactory prices until a break oc

CURED little 100 late to hurt any body as
the yield had been nearly exhausted. The
abundance realized from this article the sea-
son just passed will encourage an increase
in lis product next season.

This branch of general trade has fuctuated
but little, taking the whole season into ae-
count There was an advance in j une which
added 81 80 to values but it was of short
duration, and left no material bad effects on
this market when but little effort was made
in he interest of speculation. The season
began on a short wheat crop, and conse-
quently prices were higher than at the same
time the previous season. After the close
OF the first month (Ssptember) there was a
decline which reduced values TO about par
with those of the year before. No particular
charge was noted until December, when a
system of rates WAS established that governed
throug bout the remainder OF the season until
the June boom, referred 10 above, set in.
After this time the reaction again placed
values at its normal rate as compared with
the yield of the wheat crop. A rough esti-
NJ ate 1--WE have no Chamber of Commerce and
official data are out of the question: of the
amount of -four sold on this market last sea-
son foots up between $780, 900 and 400 900 bar
rels-all imported, as until recently Mem
phis could not boast a Touring mill of any
thing like adequate capacity TO supply an
hours demand. Recently one has been
established, and We hope soon 10 chronicle
additions that will place US independent of
other markets that have hitherto fattened
on our necessities. A splendid yield of the
wheat crop the present season gives promise
OF fair business in -four next season, with
no material change in prices anticipated.

CARNMEALL

We made strenuous efforts to get accurate
data upon which to base an aggregate of the
cornmeal trade OF Memphis, but failed. In
conversation with several prominent ham
oilers, however, we obtained some approx
mate estimates which will convey an idea of
its extent. II is estimated that 100000 bar
rels of meal were handled in this market,
of which fully one-haif Q25,000 bar
rels) were manufactured by our own
mills. There have been no new corn
mills established, but the old ones
have been increased in capacity until
now it is claimed that we can grind
more than half the quantity necessary to
supply the market. 1t is also believed that
the day is not distant when, with IA
vorable corn crops in the "bends" and con-
liguous TO Memphis, we will be able TO pro-
duce all that is needed here and some to
spare for export to other and less favored
markets. AS far as we are able 10 learn, our
lnillers have been kept busy, the only draw
back being toward the latter part of the sea-
son in the difficulty Of obtaining the proper
grades of corn Va hear thai several of our
millers contemplate making additions to
their facilities hat will add fully one-third
more 10 the products the coming season.
Cornmeal has ranged at high figures the past
season as compared with those of the pre-
vious year, caused alone by the scarcity of
corn and the increased demand in the lower
valley where the overflow caused SO much
deslilution.

APPLES.

From all our shippers of produce we learn
that an aggregate of $4,000 barrels of apples,
OF home production, were handled thus sea-
son, fully three times as many as were ever
handled here in previous years. The in
is governed () by the yield of the
orchards and, (2) by the demand. The
fact that our fruit natures a month earlier
than in more northern latitudes makes it
always a safe investment, and we see no
reason why more orchards in number and
extent should not be encouraged. The prime
object of the farmer and truck-r aiser is to
Ct his products on the market as early as
possible. Here we have, after vegetables
and small fruits, an item that anticipates
everything else
