KNOXVILLE. Tenn. July 2 1872.
Receipts of new wheat since last report en-
braced about FIVE car loads, contracted at 81 80,
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-
cry has been extended for the purpose of getting
the wheat thoroughly dry-purchasers refus-
ing to receive ell that is not dry, and if trashy
| requiring deduction to cover all foreign mat
ter. This IS right and due alike to the farmer
and the miller. If farmer is careful to place
his wheat on the market dry and clean land a
numb Der of them always do it is right, it is just
| that he receive more money per bushel than tn
man who takes advantage of careless buyers,
| puts his wheat in market tough and filthy
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 Viz
| ginia. The condition of the wheat offered thus
| far tins season lisa favorable indication The
| quality OF the wheat is fine and farmers intend
! to clean it well.
| The decline in price anticipated q week ago
! is partially realized. There is limited demand
for wheat at S140; Red, S1.3O Prices it is
| thought VIII continue to go down to SD for
white; 81 to 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 a full crop on account of the
dry weather in May. We state as a profitable
! price 33c 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 a very superior quality now Of
| tered by our mlllers to tine trade at % per
sack
Bacon and lard scarce and wanted at the adj
vance noticed in our last report
No demand for hay except for local wants
The crop is short, but the crop is good If pro-
ducers and shippers will combine interests in
this department and offer nothing but Il prime
article, we can soon make this an important ar
ticle of export.
