UP IT GOES,
a Further Advance in Wheat, with
Still Brighter Prospects
It's Shipment Over Railroads Daily
Increasing,

The wheat market assn med O much |
firm er tone yesterday. The sales were
small aud principally confined to prime
dry, bringing $T174 and 81 % Not1
withstanding this, however, there was
less wheat offered for sale than at any
time since the new wheat began to come
in. The mills have a sufficient amount
on hand to last them for three weeks to
come. The limit placed on the price of
wheat by some is nearly passed, and
judging from local vert a., and f reign
telegraphic reports, there is a strong
probability of it's advancing still further,
to $50 likely The developments in
the grain trade seem to foreteil a season
of peace and plenty to the farmers, who
in spite of the rains and the vicissitudes
attendant to finding a ready sale for their
wheat, will make up a great percentage
of their losses by the additional advance
which was not expected at the time the
new crop was placed upon the Nashville
