prices Of prlne wheat, presented the very reverse
Of Its aspect Oh the preceding day-t0-w.t, an I'm
prOyement in the price Of prime white,
and a proportionate falling off In the price OF
prime red-a sort or balancing OF prices which
leaves the market In statn quo.

We drew the attention In our remarks Of yes
terday to the importance of Virginia farmers
sending their grain to market In a dry anu clean
condition, and uniformly sampled, and now have
4 word or two 10 say about Tennessee wheat.
There has been i very consid :rable quantity OF
Tennessee wlelt sold in this market during the
past month. as compared with the Virginia
crop of this season, secured up 10 this time, 1t Is
inferior in nearly every respect, and millerS here
vely reluctantly purchase 1t In he busy season,
because SO much ha5 to be "hoored" or rejected
because Of its differing from sample. In fact 1t
Is next to impossible TO draw 4 fair sample from q
carload of Tennessee wheat. there being often
10 many as six or eighs different grades In 1t, gen
orally without any mark on the bags by which 10
distinguish one from the otter. In consequence
the con isnec. finding It impossible To sell from d
sample drawn at the depOt, is compelled to haul
and store the wheat, sample every bag, and a:sorr
1t AZ the expense of the shipper. Hhis Is not only
great expense and trouble, but causes great delay
La sales, and frequently Is the cause OF losing the
| adyartag OF high market. We can see no goco
| excuse for this mode Of shipm mt, for experience
| ehonld have taught East Tennessee merchant;
| better, as they can but lose by 1t. We say mer.
chants because nearly all of the wheat coming
from that section is conght UP by merchants there.
| First by the country and village stores, and second
| by the SPECTATORS who buy from the first party
and ship the wheat obtained from SO many differ
| ent sources. This cannot fell to give trouble, de-
| crease the value, and delay sales here, and. 10 o
| IN after Of course, react on the shipper, on the
| merchant, and lastly, on the farmer and pro-
Queer.
/ There are two ways in which this st lie Of things
| can be Obviated ; the FIRST Is, US Is done In Viz.
| ginia, 10y the farmer shipping or carrying his crop
| as Il tDhole direct TO a commission merchant mere,
| or the different LOIS of wheat should be mired into
| q conformityo Of sample before being shipped.
