THE WHEAT MARKETS.

The crop of Wheat which is soon to be
bro ught into market will have the benefit of
1. pretty active competition among Virginia
cities. Petersburg is stirring her stumps after
her own fashion, and our neighbors on the
northern side, Alexandria and Fredericks-
burg, are taking lively hand in the game.
The Fredericksburg News complains that the
market of that place is not quoted by the
Richmond papers. If we have neglected our
friends of the old town, we have certainly not
intended it; and we admire her pluck 80
much that we will try and keep up with her
hereafter. --
The News mentions several purchases of
new Wheat for delivery at $3.50 and $1.4s.
The News represents the Fredericksburg
merchants as being very ready and prompt
prompt to make offers and ready with the
cash-which it considers different from four
months. IT,
Petersburg heralds the first sale oftwothou
sand bushels new Wheat to Kevan & Brother
at less than $1.7O. Very defnite!l A sub
sequent sale is reported at $3.50
We are glad to see our neighbors "going
it, in this spirited manner. ...
We shall want little Wheat ourselves in
this village, and should we run short, we may
be able to pay our neighbors profit on what
they have to spare.

THE BALTIC.

Sir j. Graham, in the House of Commons
on the goth uit, made speech indicating the
operations in the Baltic. He did not state
why Cronstadt was not taken, except by say.
ing that the Russians sink rocks in the chan
nels and approaches to their harbors, for fear
Of the British reaching them. Their ships
he added, would not come out to sea and figh,
the allies.
The Paris Pays renews the story that the
fleets are about to strike grand blow in the
Baltic. 1t says that the rigorous blockade
has give terrible blow to the finances of the
Gear. 1t asserts that by closing the sea b,
which the products of Russia are principally
exported, France and England have dried ur
the chief source of the revenues of the empire

ROBERT SCHUYLER. J

A New York correspondent Of the Boston
Transcript, gives sketch Of the history Of
Robert Schuyler, whose astounding frauds
are the great topic Of the day in the North.
.ern cities. Schuyler ID . grandson Of Gen.
Schuyler. Of Revolutionary fame, and q me-
.phew Of Alexander Hamilton. He graduated
at Harvard College in 1917. In addition to
the vast sum raised upon railroad stock, the
correspondent says that 1t is reported in Wall
ST., that upwards of 100000 in advances
upon railroad iron have been diverted by
Schuyler to private use, so that the grand to-
tai Of funds misappred, reaches to the enor-
nous sum Of s2,3o5.0oo. The correspondent
adds,
ain regard to the social life of Mr. Robert schuy-
ler family reasons, it 10 said induced him to pro-
pose to his lady love secret marriage, and sepa-
rate establishments In town. they have recently
lived In different houses In twenty-second street
More than quarter OF century mas esn.ea f'nc nee
90 perfect has been the manner OF his life that his
most intimate personal friends thought be was
bachelor. Some months ago, one OF his daugntere
being about to be married to an Episcopal clergy
man, her true name and history were told her To-
YER before the final arrangements tor the wedding
were madei We often hear it remarked that every
house has skeleton In it, but in house where
wears of concealment have been practiced, there
must have been q skeleton in erery room! The card
of Mrs. "Spicer," signed Mrs Robert Schuyler, and
published in the Tribune, was thought by some to
be q hoax, but 1t Is doubtless an authentic oocu-
ment. When will our people learn the potency OF
silence in cases of troublee | always had respect
for Jobs friends who did not bore him with their
gable when they found him in deep distress.
The New York Herald says that besides
Schuyler's over issues of stock, there have
been other knavish geniuses in Wall street,
whose financial rascalities are just coming to
light. Among them are mentioned certain
operations in the Parker Vein Coal Company,
who are supposed to have obtained seven TO
the eight millions of dollars in exchange for
spurious certificates of stock, which are now
known to be worthless; and similar swindle
on the Vermont Central Railroad Companys
stock, which has given the rogues profit OF
thirteen hundred thousand dollars. These,
with some other minor cases of late nature,
the Herald thinks, will swell the amount
fraudulently obtained by knavish inanciers
during the last few months, to twelve millions
of ollars. The Herald expresses the opinion,
4, very just one, we think, that the late issues
,.r spurious stock should be promptly assum-
FL by the companies; or there is an end of
"a ilroad credit.

A MAN TO BE LOOKED AFTER.-The citi-

since that miner from Pottsville, Pa, named
SPENCER, had been tampering with slaves In
the neighborhood of the mines; and repair.

was brought out and charged with the offence.
He partially admitted his guilt, and was or
dered at once to depart from that neighbor-
hood This he promised to do, but did not.
The citizens finding this out went in pursuit
of him; but he got wind of their purpose in
time to escape, as it is supposed, to Rich
mond. He is said to be about feet IL inch

skin.
