REMARKS.
The market for good Wheat continues firm at
Sl.eS for Prime white. No prime red offered to-
day. Corn Is exceedingly dull; no sale Of either
old or new was made TO- day. Oats rather weaker.
Rye neglected.
The price Of grain on Change on The CORES
ponding date Of last year was: Wheat-W hite,
prime, SLIGO; red prime, $L4o. Corn-White,
$l.@. Oats, prime, SIC. Rye Prime, $l.o73. :
We would draw the attention of the gentlemen
who conduct the commercial columns OF some OF
the State papers to The fact that they leave the
dates unchanged for weeks for Instance, we find
in aLynchburg paper of the o5th instant the tohac-
co market Of that city dated October 8; hence we
cannot tell whether the quotations in the paper OF
the 25th the quotations Of that date Of the Sth
OF October. 1t is important to us that we should
have correct dates, for we have to depend in q
great measure on State pap=rs for the quotations
in tier respective localities.

STATEMENTS FROM TOURS.


TorRs Oct. 27.-It is asserted that the
Parisians withheld a safe conduct from
Thiers from fear of having the Prussians
learn the true feeling throughout France.
From all parts of the country come hopes
that the Government will accept no humil-
atinp terms. The papers of this city are
unanimous in the opinion that the only
hone for fair terms lies in an indefinite
prosecution OF the war.
The Prussian movement eastward has
been stopped, and their march upon Lyons
checked by Garibaldfs victories. He has
been active and taken many prisoners, and
has accomplished the object for which be
went forth. Parties who furnish the enemy
willingly or for hope OF profit Will be court
martialed as traitors.
The mayors must defend every town, and
those failing to do so will be dismissed and
the town officially denounced.
The inhabitants of the departments OF
:Jura and Vosges petition against 4 peace
involving cession of territory.
The Moniteur announces that letters for
Paris NAV be sent to the Prefecture OF
Tours, as it is determined to break the
blockade.
The Prussian movements in VoSges and
Normandy have been checked by the rain,
wind, and cold.
1t is noticed that Prussian inhumanity in
creases with their difficulties. They de:
stroy farming utensils, looms, factories, and
dwellings, kill horses and cattle, and de.
stroy all the latter they cannot eat.
a young officer has just arrived from
Metz with dispatches for the Government
having eluded the Prussians by an effective
disguise. He confirms the accounts lately
Dnblished of the successful sorties OF Ba
