| The Nashville papers speak of very heavy
freights of Western produce passing through that city for the Southern
markets. The Banner of the 22d stated that there were one hundred car
loads accumulated at the Louisville depot in Nashville, there being
then a temporary suspension of shipment caused by damage to the
Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad by freshets. The Patriot of the
25th says: "Corn is going down South as fast as our railroads can
carry it. A never-ending stream of it is running through our city, and
our railroad depots are almost filled with it." We presume that
the scarcity and the demand for present ordinary use to the South are
the only causes of such extraordinary shipments. |
