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

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. April so, 1872
Transactions of the past week in produce
have been confined to the supply of local wants.
There were no shipments South, except three or
four car loads of hay. The stock of corn and
-four is larger now than at any former period
this season, and the tendency to lower prices
decided, especially on -four. 1t is now ascer-
tanned that We have an abundant supply for the
home trade, and perhaps some to spare. Bacon
and Lard move slowly, the trade being confined
exclusively to home wants. The warm, dry
weather is favorable to the growing wheat. An
early harvest and abundant yield Is confidently
anticipated.

Live Stock Market.
CATTLE.

The receipts of cattle during the past week
have been very small, and of ordinary quality
But one car load has left for other markets, and
that in the early part of the week. The de-
mand however is good and we hear of con-
siderable inquiry for young steers, by shippers.
1t is probable that a few car loads will yet be
shipped before the end of the season, but we
think but few marketable cattle remain to be
brought.
QUoTATIONs.-No beef cattle, &c good
fat cattle, 4a4!c.; ordinary cattle, 3a4c.; stock
cattle, 2!a3
HOGS.
There is very little demand for hogs, except
for city use and the receipts are ample to supply
this
QUoTATIoNs,-Larg fat hogs, 3la4c. Small
fat hogs, 3a3!c.
There is pretty fair demand for fat sheep at
QUoTATIoNs.-Fat sheep, 81 75aS3 10 per
head. ......
HAY.
There is less demand for hay than at our last
report, and the market is at present pretty well
supplied. No change has occurred in the price
but it has a downward tendency.

Wherever he goes, the best wishes of a host of

The Jonesboro' Patriot says We are glad
to see that the citizens of our county are agitat-
ing the question of building a railroad from
Embreeville to JOnesboro. This is a step in the
right directson. We could enumerate many ad-
vantages that would accrue from it, that would
by far overbaance the labor and money re-
quired to build it. Let the citizens engage in
in as a unit, and the burden will be light upon
their shoulders, and in ten years they will be
amply repaid in the abundant prosperity it
will bring TO our country.
