Badly OEF.-The Knoxville Wing

are decidedly tight, and the indications
arc that they are to get worse. Money
is scarcc-eyerybody is trying TO Dor
row-everyboiy is hard up-and no.
body has amy money to lend. The
corn crops Of most parts Of East Ten
nessee, being failure, the wheat is
retained to live upon, and in some Of
the upper counties, the farmers are
actually feeding their horses with wheat,
sothat they have nothing to bring mon :
ey into the country. To add to our
troubles, wicked and designing men
are causing runs to be made upon
the Banks, and the Banks in turn, very
properly, curtail their discounts, call in
their issues, and refuse to loan money
to the people. The result is, that VIC
are all hard up" and have only to
promise ourselves that worse times
await us"
