KNOXVILLE, TENN. Mar. 6, 1872
The only noticeable change to note in the
produce trade IL the gradual decline in supplies
and shippers, inability to all orders promptly.
Purchasers are Withdrawing their orders and
sending them TO points where their wants are
more readily complied with. This is in part
owing to the continued low water, preventing
up-country producers from coming out, and
partly owing to disposition to hold on for bet
tor prices. Be careful. The trade once driven
away from US, we will have to make conces-
sions to get it back. We cannot move our sur
plus bacon Mt tho prices demanded by pro-
ducers. Southern consumers arc buying in

Live stock Market.
HORSES AND MULEs.


The demand for horses and mules is only l0-
cal and very light. The only sales made dur
ing the past week that have come to our knowl-
edge being through a regular dealer, Mr.. Par
merter, who has sold three horses and two
mules and purchased two horses Owing to the
tightness of money, prices rule low.
Col. S. II. Davis, who has been travelling in
Georgia for some weeks past and has just re-
turned, reports the Atlanta market fiat with q
large stock of inferior mules on hand, most of
which will probably DO sold at loss. The
price averages about Sl25, but owners are hold
ing for an advance. Large smooth mules bring
readily $l75, but there are very few animals OF
this kind offering This should be another in
ducement TO our farmers to breed good stock,
1t costs no more to keep blooded animals than
the scrub stock now owned, and whom offered
for sale the advantage is always immensely In
favor of the booded variety.
CATTLE.
The receipts of cattle during the past week
we're large, but not in excess of the demand,
Several car loads were shipped to other markets,
among which we noticed many fns cattle. One
lot of thirty-two head by Mr.. Mitchell to Mr.:
Washam, was particularly good, while several
other lots were beyond the usual average, The
whole number sold during the week was
sssd Id %sang " oaase sa
inn prices based upon the sales:
No. / fat cattle, &c. good fat cattle, 3ls4ci
ordinary cattle, 3la3c.
A few tops brought 4ic. for shipment, as our
home market will not justify butchers in pay
ing this even for the finest.
HOGS
The receipts of hogs during the week were
small but few were shipped to other markets
THERE'S no change in the price, and the demand
continues good for prime fat hogs at quotations
Carload lots are preferable, but holders will
| find ready sale fer smaller lots. ,
Northumberland large fat hogs, Al.
Small fat hogs, &c. Ordinary hogs, 80.
sHKKP.
Sheep continue TO como in freely, and sell
readily on account of the great demand FOR
wool but we have seen but few in good condi-
ton for butchering. No. fat sheep will bring
| 81. 50a$2. 70 per head.
HAY.
The demand for hay continues good, while
| but little is being brought in. The selling
price is 81 90 per cWt. but we have seen several
loads sold as high as $l.0 per cwt.

To the Editor Of The State Journal:
We have achieved great victory. In
spite of every stratagem, fair OF. foul, en-
ployed by our Greeley friends to retain the
fossil prestige of the "Rule or Ruin !"
policy, Spartan band, marshalled by eur
worthy postmaster, William A. Pattie,
ESQ.,, though few in number, have by I'M
ceasing diligence succeeded in discomfiting
a most intolerant and uncompromising
enemy.
To-day disaster and defeat are rs legible
on the faces of our "higher civilized" oppo-
nents as might have been observed upon
the downfall of the first great cause of all
our political troubles.
One word in regard to Colonel Daniels.
There is scarcely doubt in cur mind that
if he had entered the campaign two months
earlier, he would have carried this
district for Congress. The speech made
by him here few days previous
to the election, had most telling effect,
making him many friends. A few more
of the same sort, and certainty on the
part of the community that he was in the
field would of themselves secured his cleo
ton as our representative. As the case now
stands, and while fresh and jubilant
over our success in the Old
Dominion, let us not forget that we
are sufficiently strong to- paddle our own
canoe" nor may we relax our efforts to
secure the State by permanent policy in
the spirit of true Republicanism and pro-
erosion. REPUBLICAN,.
