'.It appears that the total receipts for
the seven days have reached 4,O54 bales
against 4,9I4 bales last week, Asp

NASHVILLE MARKETS.
UNION AND AMERICAN OFFICE,

UNION AND AMERICAN OFFICE,
NASHVILLE, Aug. Is.
The day for our weekly review has come
around again, but the week hiss been so
uneveDtful commercially, that there is little
to be said. In the early part of the week
the weather was excessively hot, but for the
last two or three days quite pleasant. The
need of rain is very much felt in many
parts ofthe country, including our immedi-
ate vicinity, and this has depressing effect
upon trade. Yet our merchants are not
heard TO muTmur.
Cotton for several days has been dead
dull, little having been done since our last
review. The first bale of new cotton was
received by Gilbert, Parkes & Co. 1t was
sold to Ransom IL Bro, of Mlufreesboro,
and shipped to Ware, Murphy & Co, New
York. 1t was raised on the farm of J. L.
Patterson in Rutherford county.
The sales Of tobacco during the past week
reached 234 hhds. The market was with
out buOyancy and there was no advance CT
tendency TO advance Oh prices. Previous
quotations, however, were very well sus-
tanned and we continue them. The Nasl-
Vile market has taken the lead of all others
this season in respect to prices, and despite
the fact that the advance has ceased, still
holds precedence.
No further change occurred in the pro
vision market, which has been steady, with
an average business since our last review.
The market is now in very settled con-
dition.
Wheat and -four continued exceedingly
quiet at former quotations.
There was no change in groceries but
decline in coffee, which took place several
days ago.
Receipts of cattle at the stock yards du-
ring the week, 1914; hogs, 40; sheep, So.
Cattle were much lower, the market being
oVerstocked. Hogs were in demand and
firmer. Sheep, unchanged.

COMMITTEE, July 7, 1874.
TO the People of Louisiana:
The Democratic State Central
Committee, in convoking State
Convention Of the Democracy at
New Orleans for fourth Monday Of
August, A. u. 1874, appeals with
confidence to all conservative vo-
tiers, without reference to past pol
itical affiliations to unite in the cleo
ton of delegates to this Convention.
This committee is not unmindful
that some may be reluctant to join
the ranks of n party, which, in past
contests, they have opposed. But
this party is the only national Or
ganization now confronting Radi-
calis,n and battling tor constitution
al neutrality-suspicious., in viola
ton Of which this usurpation has
been foisted on Louisiana and our
people subjected to political and ju-
dicial persecution.
Recent dissensions among our
people and a deep and abiding de-
sire to unite all the elements op.
posed to Radicalism, adlnonish us
not to risk everything upon our
own isolated and unaided efforts =
although, in this emergency, duty
prompts us to exert ourselves as if
we were dependent upon our sole
resources. ~ t'saf
Issues are forced upon us which
we cannot and do not desire to

the Naval Academy or commanding Off
Ger of the practice ship, or recommended
by the Academic Board of the Academy to
the Secretary of the Navy, be dismissed
and be forever ineligible for reappointment

be held equally guilty and liable to all pen
alties of those concerned in the acts called
hazing. The bill is a recognition of the
fact that such an abuse has really existed
in the institution to serious extent. 1t is
not only foolish but brutal indulgence,
and should be most effectually suppressed
for all time. 1t has been copied into both
tho Military Academy West Point and the
Naval Academy at Annapolis from more
private educational institutions, and we see
that eighty-one students have just been
suspended from college in Michigan for
the practice of hazing." 1t is an old
barbarism of the English universities and
colleges. baltimore Sun.
