KNOXVILLE, Tenn. July 2, 1872
Receipts of new wheat since last report en-
braced about five car loads, contracted at 81 ~,
the greater portion of that delivered was dry and
we'll cleaned. For large portion of the wheat
engaged for the 10Th of July the time of deliv-
the wheat thoroughly dry-purchasers refus-
ing to receive all that is not dry, and if trashy
recurring deduction to cover all foreign mat
ter This is right and due alike to the farmer
and the miller. If q farmer is careful to place
his wheat on the market dry and clean land q
number of them always do it is right, it is just
that he receive more money per bushel than the
man who takes advantage of careless buyers
puts his wheat in market tough and flthy
The products of East Tennessee ought to be
graded as carefully and sold according to grade
as the cotton of Georgia or the tobacco of Hlr-
ginia. The condition of the wheat offered thus
far this season isa favorable indication. The
quality of the wheat is fine and farmers intend
to clean it well.
The decline in price anticipated week ago
is partially realized. There is limited demand
for wheat at S1.40; Red, S1.30 Prices it IS
thought will continue to go down to Sl.23 for
white $1.1oto 81 20 for the different grades OF
red.
No change in the corn market sales confined
to city supply at former prices. There is some
inquiry as to the opening price OF oats, all OF
which will be harvested this week, and the grain
heavy, though not full crop on account of the
dry weather in May. We state as a profitable
price CSC from the thrseher.
Two or three car loads of old stock flour was
shipped during the past week to make room for
new family of very superior quality now Of
fered by our millers to the trade at SAB per
sack.
Bacon and lard scarce and wanted at the ad-
vance noticed in our last report.
No demand for hay except for local wants.
The crop is short, but the crop is good. Ii pro-
ducers and shippers will combine interests In
this department and offer nothing but prime
article, we can soon make this an important ar
ticle of export
