KNOXVILLE, Tenn. July 2, 1872.
Receipts of new wheat since last report en-
braeed about five car loads, contracted at 81 So
the greater portion of thatdelvered 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 all 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
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 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 Vir-
| ginia. The condition of the wheat offered thus
| far this season lsa favorable indication. The
| quality of the wheat is fine and farmers intend
| to clean 1t well.
The decline in price anticipated q week ago
is partially realized. There is limited demand
for wheat at 81 40; Red. S1.30 Prices it is
| thought will continue to go down to SIZE for
white; $l.lO 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 full crop on account of the
dry weather in May. We slate as a profitable
price SIC 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 $425 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. If 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.
