Correspondence of The Appeal,
BOLIVAR, Tenn, Sept. The tax ag-
gregatcs Of llardeman county for lSSS
show an increase Of $4,000 in taxable
property over the previous year. In
round numbers, our taxable wealth is
$1,000, 900, onc-third OF which is railroad
property. When tho contemplated rail.
road from Somcrvillc Via Bolivar, to
Lawrenceburg is built ii will add $780,
600 more to our taxable wealth. for il will
run squarcly across the county. This
line is attracting much attention. The
zap between Somcrvillc and Lawrence.
burg is only about ninety miles, and Of
this thirty miles are already graded. Such
line would give another direct route from
Memphis TO Nashville, and through a
section OF unparalleled virgin wealth in
iron, coal aud timber.
The excessive and almost continuous
rainfall is greatly injuring the crops, and
unless IL ceases very soon the cotton will
bc cut OIL Much of the corn was pros
trttcd 10y the recent wind aud rain storm
and with continued hot weather twill rot

is too fresh in memory to risk

CHICAGO Feb. 3.-The influences sur
rounding the markets at the opening of
the board were rather bearsh. The re
ceipts of hogs at the yards We're above the
estimate Everything was quiet and easy
in the tone at the start, but first prices
were as a rule unchanged from closing fig
ures of Yesterday. May wheat started at
Sl5Sc, May corn at 52I@M523Sc and May
pork at Sl455 The only features of inter
est in wheat were the buying for European
accounts. The change of front by
the New Workers took their cue from
the indications of war as evidenced
by the lower consol and rente quotations.
They found p good market to buy on, rs
the local crowd was depressed by the
action, or rather non-actfon, of outside
spectators. May wheat was kept between
Sl16mS15Sc till within half an hour of the
close of the morning session, when all the
buying just referred to had some effect
and May sold at S11staS2c.
Corn was dull, with May fuctuating be
tween 52;5@52$4c.
Pork was very duh, but lard and ribs
were fairly active. A report that Bis
marck would make a very warlike speech
at the opening OF the German reiChStag
tomorrow, coupled with the good European
buying referred to above. caused May
wheat to advance TO sc. May corn adj
vanced to 525sM53c and trading became
active.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
