REMARKS.
Offerings of Wheat on Change to-day 4,ll4
bushels white and 8,522 bushels red, against Se4o
bushels white and Case bushels red on the corre-
spending day of last year. The market opened
languidly to-day, and the buyers and sellers, In
imitation Of the Germans and Gauls, manGuyred
considerably, each trying to get the vantage
ground, but after some time the latter picked up
some few stragglers In the shape Of samples, and
at last both sides became little more In earnest
Just at this moment there came on Change an ex-
Confederate commissioned officer, but now COM
mission merchant and with some of the old en-
thusiasn, and 4 battle glare in his eye, he an
nounced that the Prussiaus and French, to use bis
own classic language, were at "hammer and
tongs'' at place he called Sour something,
but whether krout not we could not tell
Nevertheless, the buyers, to use another clas-
sic phrase, kept "as cool as cucunbers,"
and wheat did not so up in the slightest de-
gree; indeed, 1t seemed to us to be, If anything
little weaker and so the sanguine and sanglina-
~ calculations that the first battle would cause
wheat TO go up like rocket, looked as dunn bfound-
ed as IL they had been struck with ''boonb."
Truth to say, the only excited person On Change
was the Secretary, and he, as usual was In no! pur-
suit Of The people who straggle away from his desk
without reporting, and thus not only sorely and
unnecessarily perplcx him, hut cause him to send
before the world Imperfect DISPATCHES /" con-
