WHEAT AND FLOUR IN ENGLAND
PER THE ACADIA.

PER THE ACADIA.
The following paragraph is of the first i'm
portance to those interested:
A further advance has taken place in the
value of English wheat, consequent upon the
very unsettled state of the weather, which
has some days past been marked by heavy
falls of rain, and by cold winds; it is gener-
ally thought the wheat crop will in any case
be under an average, and should change of
weather take place, the result of the harvest
must prove very uniavorable. Foreign
Wheat has participated in the improvement,
and is now held for advanced prices. Bond
ed Flour is in moderate demand at from GAS
Cd to 25s per barrel.

interests are peculiarly concerned. But

Gun TRADE WITH j FRANCE. In 1889 ouI
exports to France amounted TO s Is, 1896, 354
The principal article which we send to France
Is cotton. OF the aggregate exports just
named, S13, 423, 142 was in cotton, S ITO,
O63 in tobacco, and $500, Gil in rice. Our
imports from France during the same year
reached the sum Of $50. 53l ,32l, of which
ST ,O99, Ats was in silks; s | ,S79, 976 i
vines: Worsted and worsted stuff. good:
4 500, 900, linen $500, 900, and manufac.
|tured cotton goods less than one million ol
|dolIaas. This statement, which we believe
q Be authentic, shows an excess of imports
over exports, Of $I4, l94.467 for the yeaI
above named. In comparison of the imports
from France Of 1889, with those of the pre-.
vious year, itappears that they were nearly
Idoubled--the difference in silks alone be-
Inc nearly $IO,OOO,0OO in 1889 over the
imports Of 1898 while the increase ofex-
ports during the same period was only $2,-
4l4.449. The only favorable view to be
taken Of this excess of imports over exports,
IS II the fact that the trade with France is
carried on principally in American bottoms.

MosEs AND ANTIQUITY CoNs4sTFNT I'm
the last century the Books of Moses were
often attacked, and their authenticity i'm
pugned, because they mention'the existence
of vineyards, grapes, and consequently az
wine in Egypt; for Herodotus expressly de.
clares there were no vineyards IN Egypt; /:
and PIutarch AYERS that the natives Of that
country abhorred wine, as being the blood
af those who rebelled against the gods

veracity Of the Pentateuch, but even IL The
learned Michaelis, who concluded that the
use Of vine was eniOined insthe sacrifice for

From these papers il appears that the Giles

followed az until they met The Alabama

Of Duck river, where they located them
selves and built the Stone Fort, which af-
foTded an asylum and retreat secure from

twenty years; but at length having expenil-
ed their ammunition, and having lost many
Of their party by disease; number of the
survivors determined to retrace their steps
toward the border Of the Atlantic. This
being opposed, an internal feud common
ced, which was kept up by both parties with
the most unrelenting fury and cruelty, until
but four or five remained Of the colony.
The survivors finding themselves destitute.
in wild and desolate country, determined,
/ if possible, toreach again the sea coast; and
having obtained some information from the
Indians, thes took 1 westerly course till they
met the waters of. Tennessee river, where
they met I vessel belonging to the father
HennepheW's fleet, on board Of which they
took passage, epresenting themselves as be-

landed in Frances being the last Of pow
