LAND sALE-INTEREsTING REMARKS ON THE
- WEATHER--DIPHTHERI
ROWLING GREEN, January 80, lS6

BowB1NG GREEN, January 80, 1869.
Dag before yesterday Captain X. K.
Smith sold his farm, lying about ten miles
from this place, TO Mr.. Reiner, from the
State of New York. 1t contained 1913
acres, and received therefor 81, 500 in cash
andrits equivalent. 1t is considered good
sale, understand that five more northern
purchasers have arrived in this county
within, the last day or two.
The long and extraordinary spell OF
balmy weather was interrupted last night
by storm of lightning, thunder, hail, and
rain, lasting about three-quarters OF an
hour But this morning an almost sum-
mer,s sun shines upon US, and the, blrds are
singing as merrily as in June. In this
connection, gentleman told me yesterday
that he had heard mis- father say that in the
winter of 1866, from the lst of Decem-
bertu the lst of March, no snow nor rain of
any note fell that during the whole fall,
winter, and spring the snow that fell alto
gether WAS not an inch in depth, and no ice
at all; and that whilst they had that re-
marketable spell, he heard an old gentleman
say that IN 1850, or thereabouts, they had
lust such winter, and the seasons succeed
ing each period no corn was made at all; but
small grSins--whest, oats, etc.,-in abund-
ance; and corn in 1907 was worth ten dol
lars per barrel. Perhaps we are to have
repetition Of the seasons spoken Of. The
thermometer this morning shows only q
difference Of four degrees as compared with
the morning Of July 2, 1868.
Diphtheria has commenced its fearful
ravages in this county, and several families
already have cause to mourn its presence.

one. The people Of that section have al
ways been famous for their hospitality, and
they are as kind now as ever before. In

be always anxious to make those who ira

PErERsBURG, January so, 1869.

''>'' PETERsBURG, January so, 1863.
As the correctness of my flour quotations
has been questioned by the Richmond mer-
chants, 1t 1uay DO well to get the matter
right by a few words of explanation. Pc
tersburg is not in large sense -four mar
ket,a.sbough b good deal is done in the way
of iobbing. Consequently large guam
tity nut Oh the market would have de-
pressing effect. For the raw material OF
eyery'article OF produce our merchants find
q ready sale in any quantity-such as cot
ton. tobacco, wheat, corn, etc.,-for which
theyrnlways obtain prices that will conf
pare fayorsbly with those of other markets.
There is of course much more -four manu-
fact,ired here than there is home demand
for land the surplus is shipped to other
markets, where the prices obtained must
be governed by those prevailing in those
markets. Only enough is retained at home
to supply the domestic consumption OF the
cityaahd surrounding country. Richmond
is great manufacturing centre, and SENDS
her -four to all parts of the world and 1t
is only by the great draft thus made on 1t
that the price at home is kept up to what II
is, albeit your quotations are lower than
ours. There is also this difference be-
tween, our two markets This is centre OF
distribution to large district of country,
while yours is centre of supply and this
is q sufficient reason why flour ought to
rule higher here than with you.
To test the accuracy of my quotations, /
called to-day on two of the leading houses
engaged in the -four trade, and was assured
thst.they were substantially correct. One
of them gave me statement OF actual
sales made this day-say extra" in large
lots to the trade, at $1,000, and in small
lots, at sll single barrel, $ll.50; super
fine. to the trade, $3.50; small lots, $40 ;
family, $13 to $3.50 and $l4, according to
the brand. These figures correspond with
those given in my quotations, with single
exception.
IF any of your merchants were to send
-four here on the faith of our quotations,
they would frat have to pay thirty-seven
cents for charges, and then commissions.
There might be profit made by jobbing 1t
of, but this would require time whereas
if forced on the market the operation
might result in q loss.
TheBc remarks are intended to show that
the character Of our respective markets Is
very distinct, insomuch that the same rules
are not applicable to both. When this Is
fairly understood it will be found that
there is no good reason for questioning the
fidelity of our quotations.
During the week there have been 405
loads, Of wood issued to the poor by the
Relief Association.
