Some one has been sending postal
cards through the mail to citizens of
Atlanta, of which the Herald SAYS:
/ The cards written to Judge Hopkins

UNANIMOUSLY the highest circles of our

our leading citizens, male aud female

to let the cards he read in order that no

In a Fourth of July address at

that then existed in his neighborhood.

FIELD AND FARM.
INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES.

The extraordinary stagnation in the
iron business of the country has d.
rected the attention of iron makers to
East Tennessee for thorough exam
ination of the extent and value of our
iron and coal interests. The very fact
that iron is so low that it can only be
made prohtably where ore and coal
are cheapest and most abund-
ant is all the more favorable
for East Tennessee. If the facts are as
our iron men of experience claim, it is
evident that the stagnation in business
in Pennsylvania and Ohio is to our
advantage.
1t is evident that our resources
in this respect have attracted the
attention of heavy capitalists. for
agents of strong English firms
are now prospecting in several
counties of East Tennessee. 1t is
premature to speak more speci.
fically just now, but we have informa-
ton of negotiations now in progress
when are very encouraging, indeed.
We know Of one trade in prospect very
deeply concerning Knoxville, in which
a refusal has been given to an English
firm for mineral and railroad property
amounting to over a million Of dollars. .
As soon a negotiations have pro-
crossed far enough to warrant the facts
being made known we will lay them .
before our readers. But the purchase
Of the IeiIico iron works. the build .
ing of large furnaces IN NIeigs county
and the prospects for Investments
nearer to Knoxville by foreign and
home parties all look encouraging to
US. We nope that, with the crops now
ready for market aud the prospects for
greater activity in industrial enter
prlses, more prosperous times are
in store for US.

Wore Ahnnt Wheat

We learned Thursday from Gen.
Jos. a Cooper that he had Just fms h
ed threshing the wheat on the
Reynolds farm, with the following re-
suit: He had sowed for 800 bushels.
OF the Fultz variety. Or in other
words ne expected from the amount
he put under ground to reap. if good
wheat year, about 500 bushels. About
two acres of his wheat ground was
drowned out, and the remainder
threshed out $50 bushels of good
wheat. He also sowed quarts of the
IOuzel variety and reaped lO4 bushels
from the same. He says upon the
whole The wheat crop in his neighbor-
mood turned out very well.
From Messrs. Williams, thinner
man and Wilson we learned Thursday
that wheat has advanced 10 cents on
the bushel in the Southern market.
ana grain dealers below are offering
cI.OJal.lv per Dushel now. So far as we
can learn farmers are not willing to
market their wheat even at that price.
ana not much wheat will be moved
until the price advances TO Il. %. There
J. general Willingness on the part of
farmers to market their wheat at this
pIlce, and II is thought that if the
market could be opened at that figure
the bulk of the wheat would be moved
as soon as possible.
Messrs. Williams, Zimmerman d
Wilson received five hundred bushels
of fine wheat Thursday, a portion of
the crop of Capt. Zimmerman's farm
on the French Broad, in Jefferson
county. The wheat was stored away
yesterday, as the present price is 10
lnducement to put It on the market.
Mr.. Samuel Pickles, who lives a the
upper end Of this county, on the
French Broad. says that he had esti.
mated his crop at eight hundred BUSH
els, but after it was threshed, it turned
out less than five hundred bushels.
His wheat evidently did not turn out
as well As General Cooper's, or he must
nave badly estimated the crop.
We did not hear Of any transac-
uons IN wheat yesterday, and hence it
l. impossible to correctly quote the
market. Dealers are not Offering more
than SllO To SLID, while holders are
not willing TO take less than SIPS.

FOREIGN DEMAND FOR WHEAT.
Prospects for Better Demand from
Abroad.

The all-absorbing question among
farmers aud tradesmen now is, what
will our surplus wheat bring? The
price depends much upon the demand
from abroad. This promises to be
good, judging from the following,
which We take from the June report of
the Agricultural Bureau at Washing>
ton:
With a demand for foreign wheat.
absorbing not less than million quar-
tiers per month, she finds her supplies
constantly shortening. In the four
weeks ending May her actual receipts
from abroad were but 595 900 quarters.
The stocks in London were bur 2O3 100
quarters, or less than one months
supply for the metropolis alone, with
its three and one-third millions of
hungry mouths. English wheat is
almost entirely exhausted, the small
supplies in first hands being held by
large and wealthy farmers, holding on
FOR maximum prices. The facts now
show that 1873 was short wheat year
throughout the world. The yield OF
South Australia is estimated at 500, 600
quarters, only tWO-thirds of the pre-
vlous crop of the colony. In Hungary
the high prices of flour caused such a
general disuse OF that article of diet as
TO eXtort u concession of one shilling
per quarter on wheat.
Fine wheat had begun To come to
Odessa in considerable quantities, but
was met by an ample demand at high
prices. French, Belgian, and Dutch
country markets gave signs of close
exhaustion while Switzerland and
Italy are heavy importers of wheat.
ana Germany also feels the stress.
The Indian famine adds its depressing
influence. Al. indications seem to
point to a scramble for breadstuhs i'm
Europe before the coming harvest.

the best paid class of laborers, when il

them to gain a knowledge of their vo.

les wages have to contribute.

An Extraordinary Phenomena.

y correspondent writing concerning

One of the most extraordinary
phenomena ever witnessed ia this
country took place on the Fourth of
July III Bergen county, New Jersey.
About a quarter of six o'clock p. NJ, in
the village Of Westwood, during the
celebration Of the day, sudden dark
ness came over the village, and before
the alarmed inhabitants could seek
shelter, violent storm of haiistones
descended upon the heads of the crowd.
HallstOnes two inches aud half in
diameter, and as hard and heavy as
cODbIe stones, came down in furious
shower. Hens and chickens were
Killed IN large numbers; cows and
horses stunned. The frightened pop
ulace ran in every direction, seeking
shelter in sheds, beneath trees and i'm
every available spot. Fortunately the
majority escaped without injury. A
young lady named Miss Bogart was.
however, struck on the hand BY one of
the hail-tOnes and her wrist and arm
irlghuully lacerated. At the Ridge
wood House, in the village, an euorTn-
Gus amount Of damage was done. Not
a single pane Of glass was left whole in
the building, and, incredible as it may
appear, the hailstones actually broke
through the slate roof as if they had
been cannon balls. The storm covered
an area Of twenty-five miles, stretching
from Spring Valley to Kinder
