Nashville. Tenn
Business continues dull in every department
OF trade. and the probability is we shall have
very little activity in any thing except
breadstuffs, for several months, at least I'M
til the fall trade sets in.
Cotton-The cotton market remains mag
tive, che only transaction we have heard oil
fol several Gays being sale Of l6O bales,
the price of which was not made public,
though understood to be l03c for the round
lot, on time.
TOBACCO The transactions in tobacco con-
tinue extremely light. We have heard oil 10
sale of the finer qualities for some time
Our quotations, therefore, still continue NOM
nal, and are as follows:
Lugs. 80 @4la
Medium Leaf. IA tG0A
Good and Fine. % @ota
Breadstuffs and Provisions--The transac-
tons in Breadstuffs and Provisions still con-
ltinue limited. owing to the light receipts OF
the former, and the absence OF demand for
the latter. The small lots of new wheat COM
ing into market command Sl@l 10 per BUSH
ell for prime red aud white for milling purpo-
ses As vet We have no export demand for
wheat, and buyers do not care to contract for
future delivery, though they are offering 9Oc
@Sl for delivery during the present month
There is a brisk demand for corn, and buy
ers readily paw SOC S5c per bushel and turn sh
sacks. Holders would do well to avail them
selves of the present prices. ssit is not prob
able the article will go higher, as it maniiests
rather a downward tendency in the West.
Bacon continues dull, with light receipts
, and limited demand. We quote shoulders
at 7@7Lc, hams ga 1Oc, and clear sides 93l
a lOc from wagons. From store packed,
&c advance on these prices is demanded.--
| Prime Lard is in request at lOlac.
In regard to prices. it is difficult at present
to predict the course of the wheat market -
We heard an experimental dealer advance
/ the opinion the other day that holders who
sold upon the opening Of the market would
most likely realize the best prices this year
since the prospect is favorable for an abun-
dant crop, with limited demand from a
broad. That, however, is matter for the
producer to decide for himself.

About a year since the dwelling house of

bed by burglars on q Sunday evening, while
the family were absent at church. We are
informed that "Scotty," one of the escaped
convicts, who was recently arrested here,
confessed that he, in company with Jack Ed
wards, who has b, zen sentenced to the State
Prison for thirty-four years, for various
crimes, and one Tommy Smith committed the
robbery. They had just arrived in town
from Sacramento, when they passed Under
hills house, and saw the whole family leave
and the lights blown out They followed
the family, and after seeing them safely in
church. returned and ransacked the house al
their leisure. This, we understand was the
only night the house had been left alone with
no person in it for months. After the rob
berry had been committed the burglars went
and buried the spois, throwing away some
articles Of iewelry, which it will be remem-
bered were afterwards found by Nelson ia

the gold lockets are well defaced, TO prevent
their being recognized, and sold to some
