TOBACCO EXCHANGE.

----------- RICHMOND, December 8, 1874.
The offerings on Change during the past week
comprised sos hogsheads, IS Heroes, and boxes.
The market is little heavier generally, under The
influence of advices from Lynchburg and Danville
representing unprecedented deliveries of loose 10
bacco at these points. II Is remembered, however,
that glut in the market at this time implies cor.
responding lightness of receipts next summer, and
hence no material decline in prices has been oeca-
stoned by the "rush'' referred to. In this market
the sales of loose tobacco tat shockoe Warehouse)
last week amounted to about 10000 pounds, at
the range of &s@S16 for leaf and S6@S9 for Tugs.
One small lot of leaf brought $40. On "Thanks-
giving-Day" last year 100000 pounds of loose
tobacco were sold at Shockoe Warehouse the
largest sale ever made there one day. We con-
tinue our quotations

GERpEnAN AND HIS FORTUNES According
to an interviewer of the Philadelphia Foe
ming Herald, MIR. Gerdemann, the ex-priest
of st. Bonifacius German Catholic church, Of
that city, intends to become Philadelphia
lawyer. Since he has not delivered the
deeds of bis real estate to the bishop, he
SAYS he will now take the property back,
and that with the money be has will make
him worth $4,000, which is great deal
more than many begin the study or the prac-
tice of the law upon. He says his sister,
too, has LEFT the church, and that she is not
engaged to be married to Father Baumeis'
ter. There was q very strong friendship
between the two, but it has somewhat
cooled, and neither party entertain the ides
of entering into life-partnership.

Mount Sterling says it is reported there to-

Democratic competitor in the late election, in
Estelle county, yesterday. The canvass be.
tween the two men was very bitter and per-

lished a card making very severe structures
upon White. 1t is probable that this card
precipitated the difficulty. Estelle county is
remote from telegraph communication. and

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES - GENERAL GRANT 8
PARENTA6E.
DECEMBER 3, 1874.
Wheat looks much better since the fne
rains. 1t bad suffered greatly during the
long dry spell, which lasted here about six
weeks. Considerably more wheat was sown
here than might have been expected these
hard times, and the price ranging so low.
More fertilizers were used here this year
than any season since the war. This Is some
what attributable to the Grange, which has
proven to be of much benefit and assistance
to the farming interests here.
A fair sverage crop OF corn has been made
ia this section, but the sentiment prevails
here that corn will be high next spring.
Many farmers anticipate getting IS, at least,
for their corn. The price here last spring
was S4.50 per barrel. Very little pork Is
being fattened this fall and winter, for hogs
are scarce here. Some little pork has been
sold here for $3.50 per hundred, net. One
other lot in the peighborbood is offered at
$3.50, but no sale at last accounts. Farmers
needing pork speak Of buying their supplies
in Staunton.
The result of the election is very percepti-
BILE on the "colored fraternity" and has
been quite beneficial, for they are much
more polite and respectful now than before.
People over in that part of Spotsylvania
known as "The Pison Fields" or f." Texas"
claim that Jesse Grant, who married
Miss Simpson, migrated from there in the di-
rection of the Ohio river ; and they declare
that he was the identical man whose son
now occupies the presidential chair of the
United States. u.
