Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1883-08-23

The movement in feed and bread
stuffs this week is slack, and the vol
ume exhibits a considerable decrease
from last week. The stocks of -four
are liberal, and business in this arti.
Gle is quite dull. The same of meal
and corn, though holders of the latter
have rather. stiffened their views
within the past day or two. The de
mand, however, is very scant, and but
little more than local. Oats are firm
but no higher, while hay and bran are
wholly unchanged. Inquiries are
coming in from up the country about
the probable value Of apples and pota-
toes the ensuing fall and winter sea-
son, but it is yet too early to give
much information. The indications
point to good demand at suitable
prices for apples, but potatoes are at
present uncertain. The chicken trade
is more active and prices are firm and
higher, while eggs, because Of search
ty, are up to 17alSc per dozen. The
meat market is steady, and some
classes are fraction dearer than has
ruled for some days past.
