having been reduced from 81 TO 81,
gives MS an advantage over any other
western market, and over freight
rates to the seaboard, which have
l,een heretofore from Is to 30 cents
higher than those Of Clarksville, are
now within few cents Of the same.
This "marcs nest" which has been
used by the enemies of our market
has been removed. What will be the
next subterfuge resorted TO for the
purpose of pulling wool over the eyes
Of our planters, inducing them to car
ry their tobaccos Is or 30 miles to an
inferior market.
