MARKET REPORT
CORRECTED DAILY By
j. w. GAUT,
Produce and Commission Merchant.
Market Place, Knoxville, Tennessee.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. April %, 1872.
The arrivals Of grain, hay and flour have
been liberal during the past week. Prices are
above the views Of shippers ard higher rela-
lively than Western markets, consequently no
shipments Of importance and the tendency is to
lower figures. Hay is decidedly cheaper. with
liberal supplies coming in from the country.
The price of corn depends upon future arrivals
If considerable the market must drop back to Il
shipping market But little bacon is offered
and the prospect now is for only local demand,
as prices are too high for shipment Trade is
generally dull, and will remain so probably I'M
til wheat harvest. The prospect for an album
dant crop was never better at this season of
the year. If our hopes are realized it is ex-
pected that farmers will profit by past expe-
rience and avail themselves of the early
market.
There is some demand for bacon and lard
without material change in prices. Flour
moves slowly at last weeks quotations.

EXCITEMENT IN THE DoMINIoN.-The speech
of Hon. Joseph Howe at Ottawa, has stirred up
quite an excitement in Dominion politics. Mr..
Howe sneered at the treaty as England re-
cent diplomatic efforts to bay her own peace at
the sacrifice of eur interests and as shat COM
edy of errors into which she had Numbered"
He upbraided the home government for with
drawing the military forces; declared that in
any contest with the United States the Domin-
ion must inevitably be conquered; referred in
terms calculated to arouse alarm, to the appar-
ent Willingness of British statesmen to let Can
ada go if she chose, and said that the time was
rapidly approaching when there must be a clear
understanding between Canadians and Eng
llshmen as to the obligations of the future The
above IS the merest outline of this very sgnifi-
cant address. 1t is easy to see that such words
would attract attention and provoke alarmed
discussion coming from any politician of prom
inence. But the position of MIR. Howe adds
vastly to the Importance of his words He was
for long time in the opposition to Sir John A
Macdonald. He is now and has been for a con-
siderable period President of the Council in the
government. As long as he remains in the
Cabinet his expressions are fairly assumed to
be official But it is almost certain that the
premier does not share the opinions of Mr.
Howe: With regard to the treaty, Sir John A,
Macdonald was one of the commissioners, and
still supports it, The Interpretation put upon
the Nova Scotian statesmaps address is that
the real meaning of it is annexation sooner or
later, and this is altogether opposed to the poll
cy OF the government. The ultimate conse-
quence of this lecture must be either the retire.
ment of Mr.. Howe from his present Office or
the defeat of the whole ministry. But the sig
nificance of the speech will not be in the least
impaired by either event. ...f .f eass
