BACK TAXES.
An Urgent Circular from the
state Comptroller.
CONTROLLERS OFFICE,
NASHVILLE, TENN. Nav 70. 1885


NASHVILLE, TENN, May 70, 1888. !
To all back tax collectors: Your
attention is hereby especially called
to the various acts passed by the Leg
islature Of 1879 and 1881, and to the
decisions Of the Supreme Court look
ing to the collection of delinquent
revenue.
AS an evidence OF their earnest de.
sire to have these dues collected, the
law Is now imperative and must be en-
forced. While the amount due in
county, or from each individual tax
payer may be small, the aggregate
amount due the State is very large.
The settlement Of the State debt, and
the rate Of taxation levied for the en-
suing two years necessarily contem-
plates the speedy collection Of all dues
to the State.
In order, therefore, that the finances
Of the State may be kept in perfect
order, that all old accounts may be
closed up before the parties have died
and the property changed hands so
often as almost to be lost sight Of, and
in order that all citizens may be forced
to share the burden of taxation equally.
You are hereby instructed to take
such legal steps as may be necessary
to insure the prompt payment of all
delinquent revenue due the State and
in all cases where lands have been
sold and bid in by the State, have bills
filed Immediately for the enforcement
of the States lien.
| have appointed attorneys almost
throughout the State for that purpose,
with whom you will confer.
p. p. PICKARD, Comptroller.

General Trade.

Trade in the main is inactive, and
prices incline downward on leading
articles except -four, which rules stiff
and is quoted some higher on the bet>
ter classes. There is no demand what
ever for low grades. Cornmeal rules
easy, and while receipts are rather
more liberal, local mills are not work
ing full time, and the demand is only
moderate. There is no increased re
quest for corn, but prices rule un>
changed. Oats are in ample supply
and lower. Bran is easy and tends
toward cheaper figures. Hay is in
active aud almost entirely nominal,
the offerings being chiefly for low
grades, for which there is no demand.
Inquiries are heard as to what new
clover hay will sell for, and a rate Of
from $l0to $l2 per ton was given as
the supposed value. Choice Western
timothy has been scarce for several
months, and would sell nj PRICES con-
siderubly above quotations for the
stock nov offering. The poultry
trade is very dull for everything
except we'll grown chickens WHICH sell
freely az from $500 to 800 per doz
Strawberries are somewhat higher, but

II the temperature of the past three
months has been trying, the rainfall
with which the soil has been favored
is some compensation The full pre-
cipitatiOn of the spriug months has
not been publisbec; tut, judging BY
the daily weather reports, there has
been since May a bountiful supply
of rain from the upper Mississippi
valley to the Atlantic coast. In New
England, where last year the crops
we're SO badly damaged by drought,
the present prospect, despite the TEN,
perature, is improved by the recent
abundant rains. From the first
instant to the end of last
week the precipitation in this Sec
ton exceeded the usual May fall
by about one-6fth an inch. In the
Middle States, for the same period,
the rainfall has been slightly less than
was to be expected, but the deficiency
is so small that a good general ran
this week would make it up. In the
lower lake region the precipitation for
this fraction of May is considerably
in excess OF the mean fall for the en-.
tire month. In the upper Mississippi
valley also the fall has been proper
tionately larger than is usual for the
first twenty-five days of the month.
What is perhaps more important than
the mere amount, the precipitation
appears to have been quite evenly
distributed. The chief exceptions
to this even distribution are In
the vicinity of Portland, Maine;
on the Jersey 4 coast, 4 { and al
Lynchburg, Va, in which localities il
will be we'll for the farmers to be on
the lookout for forest fires within the

The humidity of the soil in our dry
interior climates is the chief condi.

crops depend and may be looked foF.
Though the winter and spring have
been abnormslly cold there is no rea-
