The produce business in Memphis.

--The Memphis Appeal, of the 12th inst., says:

‘ We are still doing more business in produce in Memphis than was done this time last year, when the St. Louis and Ohio boats were running. Our Chamber of Commerce is thronged daily during change hours. During the three days of the present week, 14,000 bushels of wheat were sold. The market is very firm at a dollar a bushel for prime red. The supply is just now smaller than at any previous time since the season fairly opened. A thousand bushels of oats were sold yesterday at 68 cents, an advance of five cents. Nearly 6,000 bushels of corn have been sold during the week at an advance of from five to seven cents a bushel. It is firm at 60 cents.
