Provisions. The week just closed has
exhibited an increased degree of animation
in this branch of trade, and the prices of
all articles of the hog product has sensibly
hardened, and in some instances an ad-
vance has been fairly established. The
weather has been exceedingly favorable,
and cur packers are under full Roadway.
Hogs are coming forward in limited num-
bers, and the stock yard isdaily cleared out
at prices ranging from &c to &c gross, the
latter figure for good average. Our far
mers can rely upon quick sales and good
prices for their surplus hogs in our market.
Bulk meats are in good demand, while
old bacon is neglected. Stocks of the lat
ter is light, and will be probably entirely
exhausted before new is ready. Canvased
hams are in limited supply and dull. Lard
is in demand and prices are tending up.

the supplying of local wants, there being
no margin for shipments either north or

AGRICULTURE AND MECHANICS

AGR1CLLTURE AND MECHANICS.
The Nashville AssOcIatI0n-Its Union
with the BLOOD Horse Association
and the Selection of Grounds. 1
Under the BrownloW administration, the
State has ceased to foster agriculture and
the mechanic arts, bat has devoted itself to
the issuance of bonds and the imposition
Of taxes. Many Of the disfrsnchised
counties 10 Middle and West Tennessee
have orysnized agricultural ard mechaAi-
cal societies, which. during the past fall,
have been eminently successful in their
displays Of industry. Recently, Davidson
county has formed an association Of this
sort, which is now canvassiug the question
Of location for their Fair grounds. We
understand that it is proposed TO transfer
the present Nashville Race Courss
to the same locality, and to
unite with the Blood Horse Association in
an enterprise to select and purchase tract
Of ground which will answer the purposes
of both, and admit of the highest improve.
ment and the greatest attractions. An
important element is accessibility, and
hence, it has been deemed proper by those
having il in charge, to place il on rail
road. Three places, we learn are proposed
one on The Nashville and Northwestern
road, one on the Nashville and Decatur
and one on the Nashville and Chattanooga
We have not had the pleasure to examine
all these sites, but from a twenty years re

The New York Post of the afternoon Of
the 5th inst, says:

the ON inst. Gays:
"This morning witnessed an active re-
vival of speculation in the Gold Room.
The transactions have been larger an d the
dealings have been attended with great
excitement. 1t is generally understood
that C mbination was formed scme time
since to advance The premium, that they
have quietly bought all they can carry,
and are low engaged in pushing up the
price In this they are assisted by an ex-
tensive demand to cover previous speculs-
tive sales put out under 1876. They have
also pressed into their service various
cable dispatches OF alarming import. One
of these, received this morning by lead
| ing German banking house, announced
riots in Paris, another the death Of Napo
| leon. The earliest recorded sales this
morning were at 135s@l354, from which
| figures there was a rapid advance 10 1850
1864, followed by decline to l36@l36t.
Cash gold has been in good supply, with
| from two to three per cent. paid for carry
ing. At the sale Of government gold to-
day bids were filed for 81, 100000, and the
| 100000 offered was awarded TO Messrs.
Henry Clews & Co., at 1875 4S. A report is
current that no further sales are 10 be
| made for the account OF the government.
The principal foundation for this rumor is
| the fact that the Assistant Treasurer at the
present time has no orders to continue
sales; the currency balance in the Treasu-
~ is large, from which, also, it is inferred
that the necessity for further sales ia not
likely soon to arise.
"The money market is without i'm
portant change, borrowers on call being
generally aple to supply their wants at 6
per cent. Exceptional loans on govern
ment bonds are reported at five, while at
the banks and trust companies Ter cent.
is the ruling rate. The market for COM
mercial paper is quiet and without percep.
tible change, either in rates or in the
amount Of business.
THE government bond market is
strong. and prices show an improvement
since yesterday of s@t on the entire list.
The issues most freely dealt in are in &C.
tive borrowing demand and loan fiat that
is. free Of interest to either borrower or
lender"

The weekly statement OF the New York
banks is quite "a favorable as could be ex-
pected, considering the large few of cur
rency to the southwest. The most unfa-
vorable feature in it is the expansion of

the banks of government bonds which they
