The Wheat CrOD.

Accounts from various parts Of
West Tennessee report the wheat
crop now being harvested as poor. Up
in Gibson county scant four bushels
per acre will be saved. Other Sec
tions are, however, somewhat more
promising. In Middle Tennessee and
North Georgia the crop is also re-
ported short and much below the
average. The most encouraging ac-
count yet heard of is the following
from the Nashville American of Sat
urday last: THE wheat crop along
the Decatur railroad is being har-
vested. A gentleman from Brent
wood says that the crop in that viciu
ity is turning out much better than
was anticipated, and that the grains
are larger and better developed than
they were last year. He would obtain
five more bushels to the acre than he
did last season."

Interesting Facts and Statistics
About Tobacco,

Mr.. Mckenzie, of Kentucky, who
represents the largest tobacco-grow-
ing district in the United States,
stated that the planters of the United
States get $35, 100000 for their leaf
TOBACCO, which is an average of about
seven cents per pound, as their crop
amounts to 800, 000, 900 pounds annu-
ally. The United States taxes this
crop every year 81 ,00O, 600; England
$35,000,0O0 France, $4,000 ,OOOi Italy.

Cor cotton crop is reported vigor-
Gus and healthy, the only .unfavorable
feature being its grassy condition in
localities. 1t is now on the eve of
entering the blooming period. During
the past week we have had numerous
rains and many complain that too
much has fallen. The crop is now
entering on its most critical period
aud all depends on the state of the
elements during the next three
months, And it is purely guess work
to give predictions regardingthe prob
able yield Of the season. We have
had a fair trade during the past week.
The value of cotton shows slight i'm
provement and better demand. Corn
has luctuated during the week be-
tween 49, and 52c. per bushel. Flour
is dull and lower grades are lower in
value. Wheat is also weak Ia tone.
The crop now ready to harvest in this
state promises a much reduced yield,
while the quality is not Of the best.
Corn meal has held we'll uppthrough-
out the week. Oats have been in
good request at full price. Bran is
weak and lower. Hay has also fallen,
owing to a decline in northern mar
kets. The market is bare Of ArSan-
