MONETARY.


FnlpA1 EyrNHG. September q, 1868.
There was considerable excitement In grain cir
clee to-day, in consequence Of the receipt Of tclc-
grams from various parts Of the interior. auuounc
Ing that heavy frost had fallen last night, OF
rather at an early lonr this morning.
Accompanying thcsc tcleCrnms were nu-
n,crons orders for the purchase o. corr,
which gnve the impression that the frost
wns OF sufficient severity to haye inflicted damage
to 1he crop. On the strength Of these
reports, and orders to buy, large
speculative demand sprang up, and the
.natket became quite e1cited-advanctng cG35ic
per bpel.e1 over the closing quotations Of ycstcr
day. The sales were exceedingly lafsc. s.g7cga-
ting nearly three.quarters Of million bushels for
"cash," and 1t Is safe to suppose that nearly as
much more was sold for future delivery. From all
the accounts which we have received up 10 The pscs-
ent writing. VIC learn that the section OF conntky
between centralis. on the Illinois Central, and
Fond dn Lac, Wtsconein. extending as far West
as tho Mississippi River, was visited by frost
last night. Along the Galena Railrosd It was
generally more severe than elsewhere. The reports
in thc aggregate state that no damage Of any ac-
connt has been inflicted, though In few In
stances the advices arc directly of an opposite
character. Al the psceent time there IL no oeca'
sion for dependency. With clcar warm weather
for the nc1t two weeks, unaccompanfcd by frost,
the crop will ripen rapidly. The frost which fell
last night eannoi, on the whole+ have done much
more than nip 1he leaves. Our desp9tchcs from
Indiana slate that the crop promises well, md no
frost has yet made It's appearance.
