from shippers well millers. We quote the
market as follows :-ordinary to good reds at S5a
100 cts; and occasionally LOG cents; white Wheat
at lO5a IL Cts; and family -four white at ll2aI20
cents. To-day the market is little better supplied
taan for some days past, and the competition among
buyers has had the effect of causing few cents
more than highest figures to be paid for strictly
prime and choice parcels.
| Corn.-The supply this week has been equal to
the demand, and prices have ruled at 5Sa59 cts.
for white, and 59a6l cts. for yellow, until to-day
when sales were made at 57a5S Cts for white and
60 cts. for yellow.

The Exhibition of the Charles County

The Exhibition of the Charles County
Agricultural Society will be held in Port
Tobacco on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, the och, 30,h, and 31st Of Octo-
Der. The first day, the several awarding
committees will examine whatever may be
offered for premiums-the second day, these
committees will make their reports to the
Society, and the third day the Address
will be delivered, and the distribution OF
premiums, and the election of officers for
the ensuing year will take place.
1t is confidently expected that the Exhi-
bi.ion this fall will surpass tina. Of last year,
which, all who were present know, was hard
to beat anywhere. The President Of the
Society informs us that the ladies are pre-
pairing for i. with becoming zeal and indus
try. This is cheering, for without their
aid very little good could be done any 1ray.

WAR Vessels Fitting Out
Demands Of Spain We have already

have been received at Norfolk to fit on,
Immediately all the. United States vessels a,

be the West Indies, probably Cuba, and va
rious rumors are afoat as to the cause
The Washington correspondent of the Phi,
ladelphia Inquirer says:
Some affirm that another Cuba expedition
is on foot, and others that Spain has as
sumed a tone towards the United States
which canno, for moment be tolerated.
One story is, that demands having been
made by the American Minister at Madrid
at the instance Of this Government, for the
release Of American citizens rcsdentin Cuba
who had been imprisoned and ruined, with
out any evidence of a participation in the
Lopez invasion-that the Spanish Govern
ment had refused the required satisfaction
and hence, this movement. 1t is, per-
haps, more precautionary than otherwise.

SMUT IN WHEAT.-Much has been said
of the probable origin and manner of ope-
ration of this pest to the farmer, and many
expedients have been tried to check its raw
ages; yet whatever may be its cause or
mode of attack, if the husbandman can OBJ
tain a specific against it, he feels safe at
least, though not until he has investiga ted
it, is he perfectly satisfied. Leaving it for
ADLER pens to discuss its philosophy,
merely wish TO suggest preventive which
has never within my knowledge, failed of
completely destroying smut in wheat.
Dissolve blue vi,riol, about two OF. to a
bushel Of seed, in as much water as the
grain will absorb mix them SO that every
seed shall be completely saturated with the
liquor. Let it stand Is hours and it is rea-
dy for use. This should be done snnu-
ally, even if your seed has been repeatedly
cleansed from smut in this manner If
neglected, it will return, though slowly at
first.
