MONDAY, Dec. 3O-6 Pm.
The trade movement continued very slow as q
rule to-day; but there were q few notable excep-
tions to the rule. The tenor Of the cable advices
was such as to stimulate renewed activity in the
wheat market, and the results were a material
advance in prices and q comparatively large bus-
ness at the Improvement. At the close choice No.
2 Milwaukee Spring was held firmly at 81 e4
Q 81 65, and though there were no
sales on 'Changc at over 81 63, holders
were sanguine OF realizing the prices
asked. Winter wheats, though comparatively
quiet, were held firm at correspondingly high
figures. Corn was dull, and prices were noml.
nally unchanged. Whiskey was rather more
sought after, and better prices were realized. The
movement in provisions was still very sluggish,
and business was confined mainly to the immedi-
ate requirements OF the local trade. Lard was
about the only exception to the rule. Freights
were unchanged and there was no perceptible In
dicati0n OF any relaxation Of the nrmness hitherto
noticed. Cotton was in better demand, and higher
prices were realized, both for spot and future.
Groceries continued quiet but the sugar market showed
little more frmness. Petroleum remained dull and

nominal, but held at previous figures

A CANDID OPINION.

We like Gen. Grant; but we care
far more for Republican ascehdency
than for any mans personal fortunes.
1t is in our view of great Importance
that the opposition shall be kept out
of power, while it is of comparatively
small moment that A or B shoul d
tenent White House For Democrat
ic national triumph means a restor-
alton to power OF those who desert
ed their seats in Congress and their
places under the last Democratic
President TO plunge the Country in
te the Red Sea of Secession and Re
bellion. Though you paint an inch
thick, to this complexion you must
come at last. The brain, the heart
the soul of the present Democratic
party is the rebel element of the
South, with its Northern allies and
sympathizers. II is rebel at the core,
hardly able TO realize the defeat of
Lee johnson, Eraoo, Hood, and Price
and The consequent downfall of its
beloved con.edcracv, with lis ira
ditional Faith in Divine Providence,
1t would nail ihe election of a Demo
cratic President in 1872 as a virtual
reversal of ihe Appomattox surren
der. 1t would come into power with
the hate, the chagrin, the wrath, the
modification of ten bitter years, to
impel and guide its steps. 1t would
devote itself to taking off or reduc-
ing tax after tax until the Treasury
was deprived of the means of pay
ing interest on the national dept, and
would hail the tidings of national
with unallowed gladness
and unconcealed exultation. What
ever chastisenent may be deserved
by our national sins. we must hope |
Inat this disgrace and humiliation
will be spared us.
The above sound language is
from Horace Greeley, published as
editorial in the New York Tribune,
in February. 1S71-a few months
before the word "PresidencI" was
in his own ear. 1t is just |
rs good reading now, as then.

he took it out and put ii on the man

had got in town during the Day. He
