travellers represent the 'tCIty Of No

5000 commercial travellers. Taking other

may reckon that about 20, coo men are
thus employed ia a system which, thirty

The Atlanta Opinion OF the 10th says
The corn question Is overriding every
thing else in our market. The demand
FOR this staple article amounts positively
I to an excitement. Country buyers
waited until the last bushel was con-
sumed, hoping that the price would de-
cline when transportation with the west
was restored. In this expectation they
/ have, unfortunately. been disappointed.
and now, at the last hour, are sending In
l their orders, and find the market almost
bare Of a supply, and the price twenty
five cents higher than one month ago.
Even ample receipts will not reduce the
price in this market, unless there should
be q material decline in the west. The
receipts Saturday were less than 500
sacks. This, however, was considered
below the average,
