WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE MARKET.
tz TRUE WIG OFFICE, |

NASHVILLE, Sept, 6, 1875.
The weather continues abundantly wet, and pleas
sntly cool-wi;hout, however, rain enough to make
planters despair of saving an average crop.
The river has been slowly receding since our last,
and there are now scant three feet water on Harpeth
Shoals. -
Business continues unusually active for the sea-
son. Our produce dealers and grocery merchants
are doing largely more business than usual. In the
Wholesale Dry Goods, Hardware, Drug and similar
departments, the trade has opened with almost IN.
precedented activity, as viii appear to the most
casual observer, by taking glance at the Interior
of any Of our Jobbing Houses, or the sidewalks in
front, filed with boxes.
C0TTON-The total receipts OF cotton for the
twelve months ending Sept LIST, was 2s,7lo bales,
Of which only 81 remain in our ware houses. The
receipts last year exceeded $4,000. There has
been as yet, but one bale of the crop received
Our allvices from the crop in Middle Tennessee do
not vary materially from reports heretofore made
We calculate at least upon an average crop. From
other States the accounts vague and contradic-
tory-fattering from some points, while from 9th
ers we hear complaints of the boll-worm and rust
and rot. Although, as a contemporary remarks, in
most places the cotton has matured rapidly, and the
work of "picking" commenced under very favor
able circumstances, the great bulk of the crop is
yet TO mature and be saved; and as so much de-
ponds upon the nature of the season for the next
three months, no satisfactory approximation can be
made as to what will be the extent Of the incoming
crop. Under favorable circumstances, we sppre-
bend the crop cannot be less, and with good, dry
weather, it may be much more than the last.
T0BACCO-There are less than thirty hhds. of
tobacco in store and none coming in. OF course
there is nothing doing.
C0FFEE--Is advancing ard we now quote Rio
at l3al3t, with an upward tendency. The crop is
reported short, and the stock on hand light.
FEATHERs-Are firm at 95asO, and ready sale.
FRUIT.-In dried fruit there is little doing as yet
We quote Apples at 75c; Peaches, cling stones rs,
free stone 81, peaed 50.
GINSENG--Has advanced fraction and we now
quote at l5a2o.
PROVISIoNS-Th BACON market is rather n-
active, owing to the limited quantity Offering. We
hear of no material change. We quote hams LA

in quantities at 12ial4. In market good article
of table butter readily commands 20a25. LARD is
unchanged MEAL has declined, and is selling in
lots at 5Oa6o; and retailing at 6Oa75. EGGS are
abundant at ea6t. .
GRAIN.-Wheat has declined slightly since our
last, we now quote s5c at the outside figure, at
which it is bought eagerly. There seems to be no
falling off in quantity, and the shipments from this
point alone already reach about $4,000 bushels
In other grains notice no change.
SEEDS-The market continues comparatively
bare Of Clover, Mllett and Timothy. Flax SEED
is still quoted at 81 Is ana HERBS GRASS at 81 so

and quotations continue to advance. We now
quote New Orleans at Sa9i, with strong upward
