BREADsTUFFs.- The New York Jour-
nal of Commerce, in speaking Of the
large sales Of breadstufs recently made
in that city, says:
"About half the sales are for future
delivery, chiefly in November and De-
cember. Much interest has been felt to
know for what ma ket the largest pur-
chases were made. IL is now generally
understood that the British and French
governments are interested in the trans
actions, and it is said that part Of the
-four will go to the transport fleet at
ConstantinOple. These large sales are
calculated to create excitement through
out the interior, but it appears to us
that those who refuse In consequence,
to sell at the present high rates, may
hold on longer and fare worse.

CHASE ELECTED GovERNoR.-In six
ty-six counties in the State, Chase's
majority is 1884. 1t is thought the
other counties viii increase rather than
diminish this. The other candidates
on the Republican ticket are elected by
still larger majorities. The Legislature
will be largely Republican. Twenty
five Senators and sixty Representatives
are known to be elected by the Republi-
cans, and three Senators and nineteen
Representatives by the Democrats
The returns as reported generally only
give the majorities and not the full vote
of each candidate, for which reason we
are unable to give table of the coun-
