sums up TAI, 499 head, against 526, 165 in
1870; 565, 300 in 1869, and 738, 1872 in 1868.
The opinion seems to be quite prevalent
that the packing season is about at an end.
The quality of the hogs now being received
is vastly superior to that of those earlier
in the season The present high prices
will incite the drovers to bring all the
hogs they can to market, but they assert
that they are almost unaStainable, and that
Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin have been
pretty generally cleaned out. The market
for both live and dressed hogs has ad-
vanced briskly during the week, and the
former may be quoted to-day easier at 81

$7.25@z 90 for fair to choice heavy weights
Dressed close to-day easier at $8.55@8. rs
. 100 lbs net; dividing on 200 lbs, but
light hogs are generally most in demand.
There has been an active demand for all
provision products during the week and
the shipments will probably run up heavier
than for any corresponding period during
the season. The railroads are again in
running order and are making regular time.
Mess pork has been ga fancy stock" and
the sales during the week have been enor-

S25.25 seller March; $23. 70 buyer March;
$23.75 seller April or May. Prime mess
is very scarce. The few packers who hold
round lots ask prohibitory prices, such as

picked up at $40. 50@2l; extra prime held
at @17; rumps $17.

Personal,

We had the pleasure on last evening of
welcoming to our sanctum the talented
editor Of the Springfield Record. We
heartily commend the Record to our mer-
chants and business men generally as one
OF the best advertising mediums outside of
Nashville In this State. 1t is published in
rich section Of country-in a county
with plenty of money in its treasury and
plenty in the pockets of the people. The
business men of our city would do well to
avail themselves of the opportunity thus
presented of directing some of the trade of
that county from Louisville and Cincinnati
to Nashville where it properly belongs
We we're also RECALLED by the presence of
d. F. Wallace, editor and proprietor of the
McMinnville Men Era, paper of COM
manding influence in the Mountain Dis
trict. Warren county has taken the lead
in bringing immigrants to this State, and
for this advantage it is mainly indebted to
the vitaliZing influence of the Era. These
gentlemen are In our city in attendance

ment until the close Of the war. Like many thou
sand true patriots he disliked to live where he
had been SO long free, and, leaving thousands Of
true friends, he came to this city and associated
himself with the house Of Ball, Lyons o., in
which capacity he remained q useful, respected
and honored partner, until bis health falling SO
fast, desiring to relnquish business, he withdrew
from that house and wended his way to Western
Texas, in hopes to prolong his life few months
or years. but, alas, his disease Consumption WAS
incurable, and on the day and date above, he gave
up life, and as pure soul ever inhabited q
tenement of clay, went up to the GOD who gave
1t. "None knew him bus to love him." and his
many sincere friends mingls their tears with his
beresved wife snd only child, and trust that God
will enable them to bear their sad loss with
Christian fortitude. Peace be to thy soul, departed
friend! You will not be forgotten by those who
knew YOU best
