The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune, writes thus from Washington,
concerning political movements i'll Virginia -
Active preparations are making at Rich
uond for thorough canvass of Virginia. The
Republican Executive Committee here are
sending large number of documents into the
State. 1t is expected that several prominent
Republican Senators and members Of Congress
will participate in the canvass. A: series OF
meetings are to be held in the doubtful dis
tricts, especially in what are termed the Blue
Ridge counties, where the white tanners are in
a majority, and, it is believed, with proper
effort, most Of them can be carried Letter.
received here show that Republicans are hope
full and active in all sections Of the State. "
As the Richmond Wing observes, IF the
Radicals feel it to be important to them to
carry Virginia, how much more important
should the Conservatives feel it to be to secure
their own ascendancy?"
TO be torcwarncd should be to be torearmcd.
The Conservatives now know the efforts that
will be made to defeat them. They must
make equal cxcrtions at least, in behalf of the
Conservative cause and the Conservative
candidates.

THE Flour TRADE.-Therc has been a
good, healthy trade in flour during the past
has month and within week or two the business
shown increased activity. Shippers and the trade
have operated with greater degree of ANNA
ton than for long time past. 1t is said that
there are orders here now for upwards OF TWEEN
ty thousand barrels, for October and Novem-
Der delivery, for the Continent, The shipping
demand has been daily improving, but Tor
want of stock and freight room the business
has been checked. South America and West
India shippers have bought quite free y, and
the outward movements have Increased The
Provincial demand, too, has been pretty Ilber-
ally supplied, and there are still large orders
from that section. Our home trade have opcr-
ated with more vim than for some time past
and dealers were more disposed TO stock them
selves in view of every indication OF 4 rise III
prices. The medium and high grades were
the most attractive to their wants but they
were not so firm as other descriptions, from
the fact of there being better supply of them
on the market. The low grades, such as arc
used for export, were in reduced supply, and
even at present there is scarcely enough here
to meet any ordinary call. Millers Of late have
been giving their attention to such grades OF
wheat for manufacture for home trade, as ship
pers could purchase wheat here and have 1t
ground on tho other side to greater advantage
besides giving their millcrs the benefit OF grind
ing, etc. The receipts of flour during the
month have only been moderate. and with a
steady depletion Of the stock, holders have
gained every advantage. Prices have advanc-
