NOT MUCH SURPRISE.

The Removal of the Embargo on thu
American Hog by Germany Taken as q
Matter of Course-Eastern Dealers Buy
ing Freely on Speculation.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The news of
the removal of the restrictions placed
by Germany upon American pork did
not cause much surprise or any great
furry in the produce exchange yester-
day morning. "People in trade" said II.
o. Armour, shave felt certain for
some time that the embargo would be
speedily removed, the German govern,
ment has had it's representatives over
here making preparations with that re-
suit in view, and the announcement of
the signing of the decree admitting
American pork products freely into the
German markets is received, therefore,
very much as a matter of course
Eventually this action of Germany will
result in great good to this country"
M. III. Dougherty said that, in his
opinion the removal of the embargo
would greatly stimulate speculation.
''We have already, this morning, re-
ceived large orders to buy without
limit for speculation. There has been
no embargo on lard, but there is ma
turally a sympathy and upward move
ment in all pork products"
After the first little furry in the pork
market, following the opening quota
tions, yesterday morning, matters as
sumed their everyday, quiet aspect,
and prices began to recede.

The state May Lose 1t.

NAsHvILLEE, Aug. 30.-When the
Nashville Savings Bank, of which tho
Sax Bros. were proprietors, failed few
months ago, the State had $4,000 on
deposit 1t was thought that the State
was safe as William Duncan and d.
Morrow were on the bond of the bank
for security for State deposits. Treas
urer House accordingly entered suit
against the sureties. Yesterday Messrs.
Morrow and Duncan filed their answer.
They admit that they signed bond in
the sum of $50, 900. but allege that under
the State law the Treasurer is prohibited
from depositing or allowing to accumu-
late in any bank sum greater than one
fourth of it's capital stock, which in the
case of the Nashville Savings Bank is
only $25, 900. They also allege that the
bank was chartered in 1866 for only 20
years, and on January 1, 1886, was again
chartered for five years, and therefore
the charter expired January 1, and
after that date the bond ceased to be in
force,

Weather and Crops.


Tho weather-crop bulletin of the
Meteorological Department of the State
Board of Health of Tennessee in cooper.
ating with the United States Bureau,
for the week ending Saturday, Septem-
Der 5, 1891, says: During the past week
the general weather conditions have
been favorable all growing crops except
cotton and tobacco, which have been
somewhat retarded by the abnormally
cool nights.
The rainfall has been slightly above
the normal in the eastern section of the
State, while over the middle and west
ern portions the deficiency in rainfall
has caused suspension of fall plowing
in many places, the ground being hard
and dry.
Cotton picking has begun in some OF
che western cotton districts, but there
seems a general complaint that the dry,
cool weather has injured the crops.
The temperature and amount of sum
shine have been, with but few excep>
tions, favorable to the growth and ma
turity of turnips and late potatoes, and
the prospects are encouraging for a
good yield.
Light rains and warmer weather are
needed on the tobacco and to mellow up
the soil now being prepared for wheat.
The continued cool weather has injured
the tobacco crop to limited extent
Corn is maturing finely in most sec
tions. Fodder gathering is progressing
and large quantities are being saved
and in good condition. The corn was
slightly injured in Smith County by
high winds during the early part of the
week.
Peanuts have been slightly checked
in growth by cool nights and mornings,
but fair yield is expected.
Fall blowing is progressing favorbly
in portions of the middle section and a
large acreage is being sown in winter
oats and rye.
BY many of the reports it seems as
though the area to be sown in wheat
and clover will be larger than usual.
Hog cholera has abated and stock OF
all kinds are in good condition, and, on
the whole, the general outlook is en-
couraging.
