Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1883-07-16


barely $50 SKIS arriving here during
the week and prices are stiff With an
upward tendency, the market being
wholly bare Of round lots. In the
West values are fully sustained, but
exhibit little variation from u week
ago. Local mills here have closed
grinding corn for lack of supply, and
cernmeal has advanced in consequence,
while an increased demand has
brought 1850 bbls to Us from other
points during the week. The weeks
receipts Of oats have been 900 SKIS, of
bran $50 SKIS and Of hay GOO bales.
But little change has occurred in
either and the demand is limited,
while supplies are ample. Sugar,
molasSes, coffee and rice are about the
same as a week ago. Potatoes have
improved slightly, both here and at
points of shipment. The total num-
Der of bbls forwarded from this mar
ket is about $1,000, and low prices has
contributed to lessen the movement,
as growers are Indifferent about dig
ging at ruling figures, which range
from 60 to Zoo per Dbl measure. The
supply Of chickens has been heavy all
the week and only the best have been
in demand. Good eggs have sold
freely at II and 12c per dozen, but
many offered were stale, and sold
lower. Butter, especially if solid
and well packed, has been in good
demand at slightly improved figures.
