etc. saw one clover-feld of twenty
five acres, which, think, at two now
ings, will yield from forty to fifty tons
Of good hay. Farmers have been most
ly paying cash for their supplies this
season, and consequently they will not
be so pressed in money matters next
fall. This is the case in Henderson,
Hardin, Decatur and Wayne.
EAST TENNESSEE CORN CROP.
The KNOXVILLE Chronicle Of the fiji.
teenth says: aThe prospect for a good
corn crop in East Tennessee, nOtWith-
standing the loud crOaking we heard a
few weeks ago, was never better. We
conversed with an intelligent gentleman
yesterday who made the trip from Knox
vile to Lesdvale on the Tennessee and
French Broad rivers. After making q
careful estimate of the prospective corn
crop on the rivers from Knoxville to
Newport, he thinks there will be at least
seven million bushels. 1t cannot pos
sibly fall below five million, he thinks.
Even if the crop should prove no better
than the last figures mentioned, at fifty
cents per bushel, it would be worth two
million five hundred thousand dollars.
II the rain continues few weeks longer,
it will prove very damaging to wheat,
oats and hay, but we will have q world
Of corn. So let US stop complaining at
the ways of Providence and make our
selves happy over the host OF good things
we enjoy now and are destined to enjoy
for the next year to Gomez
THE WHEAT MARKET.
The same paper in its commercial col
umn Of the fourteenth has the following:
" Business continues dull, but from ev-
cry section of the country we receive
very gratifying reports concerning the
crops of every kind, and a bOuntiful
harvest will undoubtedly bring general
revival in trade. In fact, the business
outlook at present appears brighter and
more hopeful than for several years past.
Owing to the recent heavy rains but lit
tie wheat has been threshed, and cOnse-
quently very little of the new crop has
reached this market. Farmers general
ly seem disposed to sell at one dollar per
bushel for prime white, and should the
market fully open at that price, which
we believe it will, many thousand dol
lars, in the course Of few weeks, will be
added to our present circulation"
CHATTANOOGA WHEAT MARKET.
The Chattanooga Commercial says:
Quotations can only be made at nOmi-
nal rates. Prime new white is held at
81 o. by dealers, but the season is too
early for any speculative movement, and
millers buy only for present needs, ex-
pecting reduction"
Upton COUNTY CROPS.
The CovingtOn Record Of the six.
tenth says: 1.-THE reports from all parts
of the county are that the crops are IN
usually promising. But some apprehen-
sion is expressed that if the rainy
weather continues the wheat will Ee
damaged, and that the growing cotton
will also be injured. A good yield OF
corn is already insured. The crop of
Irish potatoes is abundant. The amount
of millet and Hungarian grass sown this
season is unprecedented, and the yield s
remarkably fine; sweet potatoes aud
melons of every variety are doing wei,
but are likely to be injured with too
much rain.n
WILLIAMSON COUNTY CROPS
The franklin ReUietO and Journal, of
the sixteenth says: "There has been so
much rain in the past ten days thag
serious fears are entertained that the
wheat hiss been injured. The corn is in
o splendid fix, and will be about the best
crop ever raised in this county. The
cotton is good, but there is not in more
than two-tbirds as much as in former
years"
