Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1882-02-13


nearly 1900 sacks and sales have
been equally liberal. Cornmeal has de-
clined, but the demand is as brisk as
before, local mills having all they can
do while receipts from the West have
been 1900 bbls. Oats are a shade
cheaper with the weeks receipts
amounting to 1850 sacks. Bran is
scarce and meets ready sale at an sd-
vance, the weeks receipts being 715
sacks. Sales Of hay have been con-
fined to Western qualities, the receipts
summing up 1l40 bales. Seed pota-
toes are in brisk request and spring
planting will begin the ensuing week,
the stock in hand being liberal and
the receipts for the week amounting
to 500 bbls. All other seed stufs are
active. In sugar the tone is unsettled
with fair demand. At New Orleans
the market is steady with a good de-
mand, and the supply of centrifugals
is good while other classes are scarce.
At New York the tendency is upward.
Coffee is quoted quiet and unchanged
with better demand and tea is about
the same. The iron markets of the
West are steady, except plows which
have advanced, while nails are un-
changed. Whisky is the same as a
week ago the demand huctuating, but
not the price, which is now higher
than has ruled for years. The waters
of the river continue at about the
same stage as last week, low grounds
in the valleys being under in many
places. Prospects are favorable, how
ever, for an early decline.
