TEA CuLTURg.-It is said that considerable at
tenton is being given in Georgia to the raising of
tea. Black tea, pronounced Of excellent quality,
has been produced on the coast where 1t seems
to flourish remarkably we'll Georgia, however,
is not likely to drive China out of the tea market.
THE Com CROP IN TENNEssEE.-Th Tennes-
see papers assure US that there will be an extra
ordinary crop of corn in that State this season.
We believe that this crop has Jared better this
year, all over the South than any other.
New YORK Wool MARKET.-The market still
rules quiet-or perhaps it might be better to say
that it is still struggling for life. There is no real
healthy demand at present for any kind Of Wool,
except Canada combing; this still continues in good
demand and at ruling prices: and it is the only
kind Of Wool for which a positive price can be
/ fixed. For near three months now it has been
almost impossible to say at what price any partic-
uIar kind Of Wool could be bought, and when the
time will arrive when any fixed price can be de-
termined upon will require prophet to foreteil.
| In each week and on each day of every week, Tor
some time past, it has been said that prices had
reached the lowest point, and soon we should have
a reaction; but the reaction has not taken place,
but the price has been tending downward and 1t
| still continues to descend.
1t follows the market for goods these are also
| being sold at downward figures. 1t is long time
since there was such an unsettled state of things
| as at present. Manufacturers are compelled to
force down the price of wool, and at the same
time admit that there is nothing so proporonately
cheap as wool except as woolen goods. Wool
| has been sold for more when gold was par and
when wool which cost less than l2c. per pound
| came in to port duty free. Woolens are equally
| cheap, if we consider the advanced price OF
| every article which enters into their composition
| of course, we do not refer to shoddy, mungo OF
| locks.
At the close there are plenty of sellers and few
BUYERS the latter have the market their own way
| brine lot of Western, held at 53c., a buyer hat
the conscience to offer 45c. for, and before ht
left bought it at 48c. Some middlng Illinois wa!
sold at Sc, and light lot of ungraded Ohio q
sac. These facts indicate the state Of the mar
ket
