rapid and large decline in prices But now that
the value has been greatly reduced, consumers
are taking hold more freely; and considering
the general condition of the countryside exten,
sive operation that are going forward on public
improvements, and the high price of fresh
meats, a heavy eonsumptive demand must exist
throughout the Summer, unless it should again
be checked by an unwarantable imitation of
prices, which, however, is not likely to take
place. We may remark here, that the prospect
that is afforded of a large crop of Hogs next
season is having very material effect upon
the price of products at this time but it should
be borne in mind that the crop will be regulated
to certain extent, by prices, and the prospects
for the latter are by no means hattering, as the
prices now obtainable for Hog products would
not justify more than 1915 per 100 lbs net for
Hogs which figure is 1915 below the average
price of last season.
But we have depressed somewhat from our
original object, which was to show that prices
of Agricultural products are not above the usu-
al average, and this, we believe, has been fully
proven by the figures presented.

MEMPHIS COMMERCIAL CONVENTIONAL

MEMPHIS COMMERCIAL CoNyENTIoN.-Our
readers will remember that the Commercial
Convention held in Baltimore sometime since,
adjourned to meet at Memphis on the first Mon,
day in June. As the time is now approaching,
the people of East Tennessee, so deeply i'm.
mersed in projects of Improvement, should not
forget to have strong delegation present on
that interesting occasion.
The true interests of the South and South
west have long been neglected under the faFla-
cious idea that our existence depended upon the
maintenance of certain political distractions
But those evil days, we fondly hope, are passed
by, and the people are beginning to turn atten-
ton to the true source of political power and in
Auence, and of individual prosperity and hap
piness. With superior natural advantages we
have remained idle spectators of the mighty
growth of the North and Northwest. We have
seen it become the inviting field of enterprise,
not only absorbing the foreign immigration, but
enticing our most valuable citizens. Her Rail
roads and her Lakes have been burdened with
the products of the West and Northwest. Cities
have spring up as by magic, the forests have
yielded to well directed energy, and their tenn
ing population have rejOiced in the general
prosperity-the fruits of improvement in the
various industrial pursuits and commercial facil-
tiles. But the day of Southern prosperity is
also beginning to dawnl A few years will
bring about rapid changes for the better.

FLORIDA REEFs.--The following is from the
correspondence of the N. O. Commercial Bull
letin, at Key West.
The heavy gales of March have proved quite
destructive to the commerce of the Gulf, and
we report to-day the total loss of two vessels on
the Reef and the wreckng of another, and the
arrival of fourth in distress. The uncertain
current of the Gulf Stream, the thick murkey
atmosphere, and the want of good lights on the
coast, are generally the causes of accidents to
shipping passing through the narrow straits of
Florida. A very large amount of property has
been lost this season-more than the average
since the settlement Of the town-and more
vessels have put in to repair damages caused
by bad weather, than during any like period
before. The amount decreed by the Admiralty
Court to wreckers as salvage on property saved
in the Florida Reef, since January lst, exceeds
100000. The salvages paid in 1852 were
$85,OO0. The expenses incurred by the YES
sells and their cargoes usually amount to as
much as the salvage, and this is paid to the
commission merchants, lawyers and mechanics
The salvage money goes one-half to the owners
of the wrecking vessels, and one-half is dis
tributed among the captains, mates and sailors.

Ra~ The Knoxville Register is authorized to
announce Col. n. G. TAYLOR, of Carter county,
as candidate for Congress in the First District,
subject to the decision of Convention fairly
representing the wings of the District. Hon.
A. G. WATKINS will probably be the only oppo-
nent of Col. Taylor before the Convention
Both these gentlemen are wings, good and true
both possess eminent qualifications for the
position to which they aspire. Col. Taylor has
done valiant battle in the cause, and his elo-
quence has often moved the hearts of the peo-
pie to rally around the standard of the wing
party. Watkins makes good argument, and
as member of Congress he has attended closely
to the interests of his constituents, and is, with
al man of much personal popularity. We
regret their ASPIRATIONS conflict.
