roads, &c. ---------

|
The meeting was called to order by Presi
dent Terry, and Mr.. c. Powell was re-
quested to act as secretary pro tenn.
Mr.. z. Dickinson stated that he was very
much gratified to see in the morning pa
pers that the upper waters of East Tennes'
see should be represented, and thought Col.
Terry the proper man to represent the
Board of Trade of Knoxville at Washing
ton.
Col. Terry, thanking the Board for the
nomination, begged to decline, as it would
be utterly impossible for him to leave. He
was of the opinion that there were other
persons who could doubtless be of more
use at Washington.
He also stated that he had received a let
ter from Capt. Parrot, of New Market,
who was deeply interested in the opening
OF the upper Tennessee river, who, recon-
mended Col. Sterling of upper East Ten
nessee, as suitable man to represent East
Tennessee in Washington. He thought
the matter of having proper person there
of much importance, aud hence was of the
opinion that committee should be APP
pointed to make nomination.
Several names were put in nomination,
among which was gentleman from Chat
tanooga, whereupon Mr.. Gaut stated that
it was his opinion that man should be
appointed, who was directly interested in
upper East Tennessee, and hence he want
ed man to be appointed from this place
or from the upper counties.
The nominations made were all with
drawn, and on motion of Mr.. p. Dickin-
son, it was resolved that the President of
the Board of Trade make a selection of a
suitable man, and report his name to the
Governor for appointment.
The President also called the attention
of the Board of Trade to the action taken
by Cincinnati and Georgia in regard to rail
road connections with Knoxville.
Col. Baxter gave some interesting facts
in regard to the Knoxville and Charleston
road, and the desirableness of a connection
with Athens and Macon, Ga, and Charles
ton, South Carolina.
Col, Terry also gave some interesting
facts in regard to the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad.
Several of the members spoke on the
subject, one of whom said he had been in
Athens, Ga, about year ago, and that the
people there seemed deeply interested in
having a railroad connection with Knox
vile. Macon also desired railroad COM
munication with this city, aid that they
felt confident that they would ultimately
succeed in carrying their point.
Some minor business was then transact
ed, after which the Board adjourned.

Trade and Commerce,

The New Orleans Picayane, of the 18th,
says of the sugar and molasses crop:
The receipts of sugar are fair and the de-
mand continuing good, prices are advanced
during the past few days. We quote In
ferior 4!a5c. common 5la6jc. fair. a7c.
good fair 7ia7!c., fully fair Ease, prime
SiaS9c., strictly prime oaaSfc, choice Ga
9ic.,. yellow clarified sales 1Qal0lc., white
The New York american Grocer. of
same date, says that the charges on export
ing sugars from Cuba are increasing:
The Cuba crop will be late this year, as
grinding did not commence for three
weeks later than usual. Past experience
has been that when the season is as late as
this the crop falls short. Therefore, the
estimates of the Cuba crop this year show
a deficiency of 10 to 20 per cent below the
last crop. The crop of Porto Rico will not
vary much this year. The British West
Indies will probably show a deficiency.
The French Islands, a small increase,
Brazil, deficiency.

Itch in Sheen,

The RurdL NetU Yorker recommends the
following cure for itch in sheep; Shear off
the wool about the pustules, then let the
scab be removed with a knife or comb,
after which the diseased parts must be
washed with soap and water. Then apply
the following mixture: One pound of plug
of tobacco to four gallons of water, which
should be thoroughly boiled; then add the
same quantity of lime-water with one pint
of turrntine or in these proportions if a
large quantity is needed After the dis
eased sheep is shorn of its wool, as we'll
as the sound onts, prepare a decoction of
the above, and with a sponge wash well
the entire body, which will prevent a re-
