there wa no change to report. The
apple shipping movement is limited.
The wheat of this vicinity is now
ready for harvest, and promises a fair
outturn. But little will be converted
into -four hereabouts. A few mills
are scattered over the wheat produc-
ing region of western Tennessee, but
they grind chiefly for their immediate
neighborhoods. We are likely to get
some new -four from Brownsville,
Humboldt and one or two other
places, but the bulk Of the surplus
wheat raised in West Tennessee will
be ground at Nashville or at mills
north of the Ohio river.
