WHEAT,
The Knoxville Citizen of the Goth

says:
Farmers are showing some dispo-
sition to part with their wheat,
much of which is Of the old crop,
aud in many instances badly injured
by weevil--a fact which serves
to demonstrate the folly Of holding
crops for a long time after they are
ready for market upon the hope
or expectation of an advance ia
prices. For the current week
though the transactions have been
lurge, we have not noticed IN single
instance an advance in wheat, aud
hence We still quote prime lots Of
wheat s. to soc. The depots upon
both the roads leading to this place
are rapidly filling up, and in some
instances are OVERLOOKING. Not only
is the Knoxville City Mills in the
market purchasing literally, bat
all the dealers in produce have orders
which they are directed to supply.
All the flour upon the market
has been taken during the past
week, upon single order at 81 20
per bbl., in sacks for superhns,
and 81 so for family. So that to-
day, wednesday, there is meme in
the market.

The terrors of tho law,

To force the soul to love

And not frowning face,
Or terrors Of the law.
