Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1873-01-03


GRAIN,-There has been a heavy trade in
grain during the past year, especially in wheat.
We notice wheat quoted on the 9th of june,
as follows: Old, but little offered, dull at 81 7oa
90; new, 81 so. AT that time decline in
wheat was evident, and farmers were admon-
ished to sell before the LIST of July. On the ist
of July, we notice that the decline anticipated
had in, and there was but little demand for
wheat at 81 GOAL 40. Wheat continued to de-
cline, and by July 9th new prime white was
freely offered at 81 Goal %, August 9th, we
notice wheat quoted for prime white, 81 15a1 20.
On Sept. 18th, wheat began to take rise again
and is quoted at 81 25a1 so, and by the follow
ing week it advanced to 81 SOa1 3d. 1t thus
continued to rise until November 2Gth. Wheat
was quoted at 81 65a1 20, which were the best
figures it has reached, for shipping purposes. 1t
is true in one or two instances millers have paid
more, but only to supply a pressing demand
for -four. Wheat is now rather dull, but lit
tie being offered, while the demand is light at
quotations.
FRUITs.-The market in fruit has never been
extremely brisk during the past year, yet con-
siderable quantities have been shipped AT
present the market is rather dull at quotations
FLoUR.-The -four market during the past
year has been subject to considerable changes,
keeping pace with the changes in the wheat
market, with the exception that at times when
the trade in wheat was brisk, the -four market,
owing to droughts was dull. The market at
present is active at quotations.
OATs.-There has been but little change in
the price of oats during the year. The only
change is that at times it was in demand, while
at present it is dull at quotations.
Corn-There has been no special activity in
the corn market, the highest buying price being
about G0aG5c., and selling, S0a821c. At present
there is no activity whatever in the market at
the quotations given below.
Eggs have been too subject to numerous changes
for lis to attempt to give them. The lowest
wholesale quotations have been from 8 to 10c.,
while the highest, just preceding the holidays
were Is to Doc. They have now declined to DC
