NASHVILLE MARKET Pep ORT,

Corrected from the daily american every
Thursday evening.
Trade was quiet to-day but with a
steady market in all lines.
Flour is steadier but, unchanged.
The demand is very good. Wheat is
firm, with a decidedly better feeling in
the market, in sympathy with the up
ward movement in the Western mar
kets. Corn is quiet, with little doing.
Groceries were quiet and steady to-
day, with no change in the market.
Coffees continue firm, with the indica-
tons favoring still higher prices. Su-
gars are comparatively low, cheaper
than they have been this season.
Country produce is quiet and dull.
Dried fruit is very dull. Some deal
ers are only offering to buy at 4c less
than quotations. Unless a change oc.
ours decline is inevitable. Potatoes
are quiet and dull. Eggs were steady

Our Glover Seed Crop.
Huntsville Centinel.

Huntsville Centinel.
About 5000, 900 annually have been
sent out of the State of Tennessee to
buy clover seed, when in reality some
thing near that sum should be sent in
to our State for clover seed our people
have to sell.
This year will prove an exception.
Enough clover seed will be sowed to
almost entirely supply the home de-
mand. Should this industry increase
in the future as in the recent past, clo>
yer will be as standard crop with us
as wheat.
Clover is valuable in three ways.
First as a hay, then as a seed crop, and
lastly as fertilizer. Were the farm
er to receive only 81 bushel for his
clover seed, even then his clover would
pay him better to the acre than his corn
frequently does.

Maud S. Time Beaten.

CarrOlton (Mo.) Democrat.
On Thursday Jim Lawton, a farmer
near Carrolton, Mo-, invited fifty
neighbors to see him beat his own time
of two years ago, when his wife baked
bread in eight and quarter minutes
after the wheat was standing in the
field. At 6 minutes and 10 seconds
after A the Buckeye reaper stood at the
corner of the growing wheat. Men
were stationed every few feet along the
line of grain ready to seize an armful
as it fell from the reaper, and to rush
with it to the thresher close by. The
mill was just sixteen rods distant. At
the drop of the hat the mules sprang
to work, and in a minute and a hall
about a peck of thresed wheat was in q
sack and on a horse that began a
race for the mill. A minute and seven
teen seconds later the -four was deliver
ed to Mrs. Lawton, and in three minutes
and fifty-fve seconds from the starting
of the reaper the first griddle.cake wa
eaten. In 4 minutes and 80 seconds
from the starting of the reaper par
of biscuits was passed out to the spec
tators.

Western Pork Packing.

According to the Cincinnati Price
Current, the movement in hogs at
most Of the prominent packing points
has hardly come up to expectations
during the past week. At Cincinnati
indeed the supply has been so moder-
ate that it has afforded no inducement
for the winter packers to begin opera
tions, some of whom will commence
killing as soon as the offering will
justify. The entire packing for the
week in the west has been about 1885,
600 or about 10000 over the proceed
ing week, and the same as for the corr
responding week last year. Current
returns from the prominent points, and
Others partly estimated, make the to-
tai from March l to date, $780, 900
hogs These figures will be subject
to some revision by the complete re-
turns from all points. The present
indicated gain over corresponding date
last year is 100000 hogs. Current
prices for January meats and lard are
on the basis of hogs at about 30 cents
per 100 pounds below ruling rates; a
year ago now the January product
was selling relatively as high as hogs.
The logic of this would seem to be
that the winter packers will be slow to
begin operations unless product advan-
ces or hogs decline, unless they are
willing to ignore this relationSof things
and wager on an ultimate better state
of affairs.
But while there is a good margin in
favor of buying instead of>manufactur>
ing, some packers will operate in this
manner, undoubtedly, which will help
to equalize affairs. AS near as we can
ascertain, farmers do not expect to
realize less than four dollars gross in
the country for their hogs, and if they
do not loose their heads this season,
they are not likely to be disappointed
in this respect. This price will pay
them well for feeding their corn, and
hogs on this basis will make product
that will undoubtedly find a market
with a comfortable margin for the
manufacturer. This price means a
reduction of two dollars per one huns
dred pounds, compared with year
ago. This would mean price between
fifteen and twenty per cent below the
average of winter prices for ten years
past, but not SO low as ruled during
these ten, years. Undoubtedly the
current depression in breadstufs has an
important influence adverse to better
prices for hog product beyond the neal
future, and this influence is not likely
to dissipate for some weeks to come
Money is plenty, and the seemingly
low prices of staple products is not due
to stringency in these channels, but t.
the abundance of these products, thu
world over. The winter season viii
open on very moderate stocks Of pro
visions in this country, and meats es
pecially are in low supply.

From Viola.

To the Standard.
Viola is going to head the list with
weddings this season. Mr.. Walter
Smith, of Manitau, Texas, was married
to Miss Myers, of this neighborhood, a
few days ago. 1t was very pleasant
affair. The couple have gone to their
Texas home. There is prospect for
another wedding soon, as young gen.
tleman of this place bought cooking
stove few days since.
There has been a large acreage of
wheat sown this year, much larger than
usual, and the crop, at this time, is
looking well. The corn crop is not as
good as was expected. The sweet pc,
tato crop is fine. Green apples are in
good demand, and we think the de-
mand will increase every year.
The teachers institute met here last
Saturday with a large attendance.
Your town was well represented.
Prof. Ben Jones' school closed last
Friday. He left for home Saturday.
The Viola Normal College is nearing

the managers that the cash receipts
were upwards Of 5000. The perform

GUS applause from an appreciative audi
ence. The Leo Brothers are unexcelled
in their great trapeze speciality, and the
entire troop of athletes was skilled and

Among other masters of specially,
and perhaps the most noteworthy of

the trapeze. Fred Foster, as clown, is

bond rider, who grew so hot with

a superiority Of a40-rod," fairly paral-
