reported at Rio de Janeiro, namely
the burning of an emigrant snip, ana
the consequent loss OF one hundred
Messengers on board. The details or

of the persons from the i'll fated YES

Quotations for the grain market are as yet en-
tirely in prospective. There were no transac-
tons during the week just passed except sales
of small lots of prime wheat at ST. 1t is now
conceded that the new crop has been over-esti-
mated both as to quantity and quality. Never
theless large crop is secured Our opinion is
that the first market will be best for East Tennes-
see farmers, and we would again urge them to
clean well and forward it in good condition.
There is nothing doing in Corn The crop of
Oats is large and lots have been freely offered at
40c for future delivery, with no engagements
The stock of old Flour is exhausted, and no
new has yet been offered. Bacon is in demand

No TRANSACTIONS in Hay, but as the crop is large,
we hope to see it baled in good order for ship
ment for the fall trade. Blackberres Cherries,
Peaches and Apples will find ready sale, if
properly dried, though, as yet no valuation has
been placed upon them.

We don't profess to be weatherwise or other
wise, but will risk few suggestions on the sub
ject. Keep on the shady side and be temperate
if you would avoid sunstroke Cases of sun
stroke are numerous. All the large cities re-
port deaths daily from this cause There are
certain very simple rules by the careful observ-
ancc of which sunstrokes may be prevented
The use of stimulating liquors should always be
avoided, for they serve to weaken rather than
induce strength, only very temporarily. Iced
water or other drinks cooled with ice should not
be used. A little iced water mixed with that
from the cstern or spring is very good but no
one should drink too much water, but rather
suffer little from thirst than run the great risks
of free indulgence which are many, and include
bowel complaints and other affections, which
are dangerous Men exposed to the sun while
at work should never forget when the weather
is hot to dip handkerchefs in water and put
them in their hats This will abate thirst and
keep the system cool. A bunch of green leaves
or grass where water is not readily at hand will
suit almost as woll Sunstoke, when it does not
result in death, leaves the brain always in n
highly irritable condition, and renders persons
who have always been affected peculiarly liable
to the recurrence of attacks.

SSuth.rn wheat Trade.

We are permitted to make the following OK
tracts from the circular Of VIM. II, Little & Co.,
commission merchants, New York, which We
publish for the benefit OF our farming friends:
1.-THE receipts of Southsrn wheat the past year
have been larger than for any year since the
war; but though the area OF whost cultivation
has been extended in ths Cxrolinss, Georgia and
Northern AlsbsmH tbs aggregate receipts from
the whole Southern wheat demonstrating
through Tennessee. Kentucky and the southern
parts Of Indiana and Ilinois-sro yet far behind
tho annual average Down to 1851.
There Is ia trsnsitu nom California less than
1000 bushels, and though the crop in that
State is believed TO be fair one it is not expect
ed that much of it can reach here before Jsnu-
airy, 1871.
present quotations are for old whest-W hits
Southern, S1.7005 81. so; Amber, 81, COG 81. IS.
Southern wheats being mostly consumed
here, are only remotely affected by the export
trade, but We anticipate more active trade and
better prices than we had last year.
"0fSouthern hours the receipts have largely
increased, mainly from Tennessee-the best
White wheat hours have rs heretofore been the
most remunerstive to millers."

The Cataract washing Machine.

crowd observing the working Of the Cataract
Washing Machine, by Mr.. A. J. Conway 1t
is very rapid in its movements. Mr. c. washed
three shirts and towel in four minutes, and
could have washed as many more pieces. The
capacity is twenty-five gallons, and being flat
bottomed, can be used on any cooking stove,
though the machine could be made any size. 1t
was exhibited last year Mt the Indiana State
fair, and took the first premium over thirty-two
competitors. Twenty thousand are now in use
in Missouri. Mr.. Conway will exhibit his ma
chine at the houses of our citizens when re-
quested He is also, agent for Bruces Lever

The wheat crop in East Tennessee is now har-
vested, and the yield ercols that of any crop
since the war. We hear complaints from some
quarters that the heads did not fill well, by rea-
son of the wet weather In fact, from all We have
been able to gather on the subject, late wheat
generally has fell behind, but with all this the
crop is bountiful one
The highest price we have heard offered for
new wheat in this market is 81 per bushel. We
are inclined to the belief that this will be the
ruling price for some time to come. Even at
that price, if all our surplus wheat is put on the
market it brings large sum of money into
East Tennessee, and materially benefits business
of all kinda.

The Cost Of Iron.

The Commissioner of Revenue makes the
following statements concerning one of the
leading industries of the whole country: 1.-THE
average expenditure requisite to produce ton
of pig iron in the United States at the present
time, including liberal interest upon the capt.
tai invested and fair allowance for repairs and
incidentals may be fairly estimated at from S24
to S26, currency; and as confrmatory of this
estimate, the Commissioner submits the follow
ing evidence; In a letter under date of Septem-
Der ?, 1869, Mr.. George r. Lewis. of Clarlsvillc
Tennessee, who is endorsed as one of the most
intelligent and experienced iron manufacturers
of the Southwest, says: On the line of the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad pig iron
can be made and delivered in Nashville at a cost
Of $40 per ton, currency. In the city of Nash
vile itself Mr. Lewis states the present cost, in
Guiding interest on capital and incidentals at
SD 90, currency, per ton. At Carondoet Mis-
souri,, Mr.. 5. Waterhouse, of St Louis, in let
ter under date of February 20, 1860 states the
cost of pig iron, including an allowance of 81 20
per ton for interest, taxes, and insurance, at $25
currency, per ton and adds, this is not an esti-
mate, but an exhibit copied from the books of
the company

Elsewhere We publish call upon this gentle
man to become II candidate for Judge of
the Criminal Court of Knox county, together
with his reply. For us to attempt to say any
thing that would add to Mr.. Halls standing be-
fore the people, would be work Of supereroga-
ton. He is universally known and as universally
esteemed. His ability is fully recognized He
is one of the strongest men before the people to
be found in our county. The call upon him was
in circulation but few minutes, and thousand
names could just as easily have been procured
as not. The wish, among the country people,
seemed to be spontaneous in favor of his making
the race Honest obliging, impartial and ca
pable, he is certainly the choice of the people of
Knox county for the responsible position he
seeks.
