The Rise in Wheat.

Our readers must have noted the rapid
advance OF wheat, as recorded ip cur COM
mercial columns from day to day. On tho
twenty-ninth day of June cash wheat was
selling at ninety nine and three-Quarter
cents, and yesterday afternoon it toached
81 i41a, making an advance of fourteen and
half cents in sixteen days. Tho best if,-
formed dealers, and, indeed, the managers
of the market at present, declare it 10 a
legitimate advance, citing, as guarantees
tor the rise, tho unfavorabIe crop weather
in Europe, and in large part of tho wheat
growing bolt In America; the first is Ger
tainly corroberated, to certain extent, by
the sudden and unexpected foreign demand,
nearly all the wheat from this market for
the past few days being taken for direct
European markets, via the st. Lawrence
and Canadian canals: the second, in regard
to short crop in this country, is not so
clear as yet. Of course, the ''shorts," who
sold for decline in July aud largely over
sold the market, have contributed to raise
the price, and few of them have had to
bite the dust for their ortsightedness;
yet to show the strength of the market one
well known operator yesterday placed
100000 bushels of wheat on sale, which
was quickly taken. and the market advanced
three to four cents under the offerings.
There has also been marked advance in
corn and Oats.-CHic0g0 Post

Important Postsfiice Case.
The Postmaster General has requested
the Attorney General to designate counsel
TO attend to the application pending in the
United States Circuit Court in New York
for mandamus to compel the postmaster
at New York to receive a book package for
mail transmission to Philadelphia ct the
old rates.
The Postmaster General says he knows
but little OF the merits Of the case, further
than that the postmaster was acting in the
line OF his duty, in accordance with the law.
Judge Spence. assistant attorney general
for tho Postetfice Department, states that
there may be some plausible ground for the
position taken by the plaintiff in this case,
but that decision in favor Of the man
damus would greatly confuse the service,
as there were several important amend
ments in the law which originated in the
Senate, among them the new law concern
ing postage on ne .spapers, etc . sent from
the office VI publication, all Of which would
be thrown back upon the old law. if the
Insndsmus should be granted.

There is but one boat now plying betwee

Baldwin, had her built in the North ex.

1t is not especially convenient for New
Orleans people TO find that the morning
train from that city reaches Mobile just a
quarter of an hour after the boat starts for
Point Clear. and that on the return trip the
}
the train leaves for New Orleans; but
mutual concessions on the part Of the rail

Tne bathing at Point Clear is excellent.
1t is not exactly what any one accus stoned

call surf bathing, but it il, perhaps, the
best substitute to be obtained in the South.
The constant breezes keep tho waves con-

is pleasantly salt and deep enough for bath

Messrs. Gunnison & Franklin, the present
lessees Of the hotel, set an excellent
