While we are highly gratiGed at this in.
telligence, we must guard against attach.
ing to it too much importance. The
amount OF Tennessee bonds now being
offered in market are comparatively tri.
fling. We have been carefully observing
the reports Of the New York Exchange,
and we seldom see more than from 1000
to 5000 dollars of Tennessee bonds quo
ted at any given time, which shows that
there are not really enough forced into
market to give them a determined price.
For instance, in our last Journal of Com.
merce, we observe $1,000 of Missouri
bonds quoted, and but $4,000 of the
bonds Of Tennessee. The small amount
of our bonds being offered at recent rates
shows that they have had no determinate
value. There is great quantity Of them
in the hands of Internal Improvement
Companies and other holders that will
be offered whenever any reasonable a.
can be negotiated. But notwith.
standing all this, bonds are evidently

INDIAN CoRN-T. B. Parker, farmer on the
Mokellmne river. in San Joaquin county.
brought to the Republican Office, several stalks
of indian corn. as a specimen of his crop. Some
or the stalks measured liz feet, and all were Of
rank growth and full development The ears
were of character that would not disgrace a
Kentucky or Indiana corn field. We believe,
says the Republican, it is Mr.. Parker's purpose
to exhibit specimens of bis crop for premium
at the State Fair. The stalks presented to us
are from field planted on the 1st of June-at
least eighty days later than corn should be
planted in this country to ensure good crop
This corn, be it observed, was planted about
two months after the cessation of the rains, and
has been matured solely by the moisture retain
ed in the SOIL from water that fell before the
grain was planted. rr.raJ
