lit Is, therefore, clearly to- the interest Of the
farmer, TO the produce dealer, and, above all, TO
tue interest Of the reputation Of East Tennessee,
that we ship no grain in bad condition. Spread
the wheat and dry 1t thoroughly and clean before
sackIng. Then, and then only, may we expect to
realize satisfactory prices for our wheat. The
same is true with refer ence TO corn and oats, but
especially Of corn" .. .. <..s-.z- s..e..as
We know or a large lot Of Tennessee red wheat
in this tRichmond) market to-day which was sold
by sample drawn here, but when the wheat was de.
livered at the mill 1t found to contain four or
five different kinds-some of 1t damp, come foul,
some tough. and some generally inferior. The
wheat was rejected, and the party to whom 1t was
consigned Is now storing 1t, and this notwith-
standing the shipper was written 10 several times
by the consignee to ship his wheat III good and
uniform order. .s.. ...ss
The members of the Exchange held meeting
to-day Immediately after the close OF the sales and
unanimously adopted resolution declaring IL as
the sense of the Association that the adoption By
the City Council OF any ordinance making the
measurement ofgrain compulsory would be highly
injurious to the interests Of trade, and they ap-
pointed Messrs. Todd and Sloan as q committee
to lay the same before the Council and request
that the ordinance be left as it Is; that Is noto
com pulsory. Surprise was expressed among
members that when we have i Chamber OF Com
merce and Corn Exchange Association men,
bers of the Council should introduce measures Sc
riousy affecting the city trade without at least adj
vsing or consulting either OF these organizations
or both.
The ordinance Us 1t now stands contains list Of
weights of certain articles which some time age
were made to conform with the weights adopted by
the Chamber Of Commerce. but the Council have
omitted to insert three articles which are to b.
found In the Chamber of Commerce list-to wit.
| "Beans, 80 pounds; peas, 90 pounds; turnips, s
pounds'' -.-. ...1t9 i.-
