KNOXVILLE, Tenn. July 2, 1872
Receipts Of new wheat since last report en-
braced about five car loads, contracted at 81 90
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 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
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 isa favorable indication. The
quality of the wheat is fine and farmers intend
to clean it we'll.
The decline in price anticipated a week ago
is partially realized There is limited demand
for wheat at S1.40; Red, S1.30 Prices it is
thought will continue to go down to $1.25 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 full crop on account of the
dry weather in May We state as a profitable
price 39c from the thrseher
Two or three car loads of old stock -four was
shipped during the past week to make room for
new family OF a 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 a prime
article, we can soon make this an important ar
tcle of export.
