REMARKS.
We have little or no change TO note In the
market Wheat continues steady at about the
prices ruling for many days past. Corn dull. Oats
fairly active Rye lower.
We have had occasion to comment on the dis
paraging remarks made by the Knoxville Press
and Herald on the Richmond market. Since then
that very paper acknowledges the correctness OF
our structures, and party who has recently ar
rived from that region confirms the truth of what
we have said, for he says that some shippers from
Tennessee do put all kinds of samples in one lot
and forward them here. He says, however, that
the shippers of wheat IN that region have begun 70
acknowledge the truthfulness OF the fault foun d
by Richmond millers and Richmond commission
merchants with the shipments from Tonnes see
and that henceforward this market may look for
samples Of wheat in better order, and samples of
The best kind that country can present, and that
the Tennessee people do now admit that Richmond
is the best marke. for their wheat.
Tic Knoxville Press and Herald OF the LIST In
slant says:
Wheat. grades, in good shipping lots,
remain firm and In demand, whilst damp, dirty,
and nj xed lots only taken as our local mllers
ran use them, ut their own figures. Some sales
nave been made as low rs sue. per DuSnel. Ihe
offerings are limited. and The transactions of the
past wesk have been confined to sales Of few
Thousand bushels mostly in orders. Prime dry
white readily commands sl@sl.o5; Walker, 300
95g.; and bearded red $4,000. Advices from
easter cities report steady marke 1t the decline
of last week.
The Knoxville Wing Of The 3lst ultimo says
-Four weeks ago all mcrchantablc Wheat, and
some that was not mcrr hantaole was eagerly
sought after by not only regular grain merchants,
but by Impromptu spectators. The result was
that large Shipments and much OF the Wheat, damp
and trashy. could not sold, and still lies the
market. Under the pressure of heavy crfpts the
market gave way and money was lost.
The truth Is, there has not been time since
the present crop WIS put on tie mark that prime
white Wheat was worth more than 81 ~ bushel,
and lower grades ranging down from 80 10 IS cents
for rcd and amber; nor Will there be. In our
opinion, time daring the present sc ison when
Wneat will he worth more. and it must be airy
and clean TO be worth The price named"
THIS very day we were asked by commission
merchant TO look at lot Of wheat recently re-
ceIved by him from Tennessee. 1t was mirum
gutherum of all sOrts-some of 1t fair, some OF 1t
foul some we:, some absolutely rotten, &c. Now,
how can shipper expect good prices for such
wheat? at the same time we know that the same
commission merchant cold Tennessee prime dry
clean wheat here at as high ngurcs rs were then
realized for Virgins wheat Of the same quality.
1t won't do t. send understandable stuff here and
then complain CT not getting high prices. Rich
mond niliers can't grind rotten wheat or pay the
price of prime for an inferior article, but they
are ready TO pay fair figure for good article.
