REMARkS.--The marketlor MISUNDERSTANDING
the week has been quiet, owing to the light receipts
In Flour, there has been moderate business while
prices have remained unchanged, but firm. The
sale. to shippers have been small. and the stocks
on hand are veiy little above the wants OF city
consumers Wheat has been in fair request, but
the receipts are unusually light even for this sea
son of the year The stocks in the country trading
With this place are nearly exhausted. and we can
not look for nv considerable increase until after
the next harvest. Prices have varied very little
during the week. closing with sales of white at

red. Corn is firm at s0@l SIC. for white. The Of
ferings of mixed and yellow have been very light,
and sales unimportant. Rye and Oats very quiet,
the receipts Of both being very small, and quota
,ons nominal Oats are much wanted. Rye is
also in demand. Seeds are quiet. The demand
for Clover Seed is nearly for this season, but
some farmers who have held of for lowor prices
are not yet supplied. Prices are about the same
rs quoted last week. viz: s6.75@$7. The sup
ply is very small; sales for the season have been
large. The grocery market during the week has
been active. Ourmarket has been visited by buy
ers from various parts of the country, and sales to
n very considerable extent have been made-prices
for all the leading articles are well sustained. The
stocks are ample, and are receiving weekly addi-
tions. We quote Brown Sugars, for New Orleans

MuScovado to TIC. Cofees are firm at III TO

Sumac finds ready sale at former quotations.
There is IN increasing demand for Fertilizers, and
Peruvian Guano Is moving off already briskly-
not SO much doing III other descriptions of Fertili
Iers, many of which. however, are growing in fa-
ror with farmers. The supplies here are abundant
to meet all demands. and farmers will find it to
their interest to purchase here. The fishing season
has not yet regularly begun, but there have been
several arrivals Of Shad, and few Of Herring
during the week. Shad are selling At SlSg$2O q
hundred, and are bought for the city market
freigh,s quiet the light receipts Of Coal yet,
not causing such demand for vessels d may be
expected in .hort time.

ICON MUNlCATED.

If the friends of Il Democratic Convention
in this District, really want one, why don't
they call one. or see if one can be called?
To to this time, | believe, but one county
has, in public meeting, declared i'll favor Of
a Convention, and then no delegates were
appointed, and no farther action taken. On
the contrary, in several Of the counties, in
general meeting, or in precinct meetings--
for instance, in Prince William, Stafford,
Rappahannock, and two or three precinct
meetings in Fauquier, the Representative
course of Gov. Smith has been approved,
and. IN effect Convention to nOmindte (he
being in the field rejected. Gov. Smith :
position with regard to Convention, was
correctly defined in communication III the
Gazette, signed a Democrat. To have
one at this time. would be to declare against
him. and he cannot, therefore, call one, nor
can his friends. They expect to elect him,
notwithstanding the regular opposition OF
the Wings. and the irregular opposition OF
Mr. Shackelford's friends.
