WHEAT IN A MIDDLE.
Condition Of the Nashville Market
Yesterday.

Our commercial reports for yesterday
show the wheat market here in a still worse
plight The demand continued to relax
aud tall of, while receipts and offerings did
not show a corresponding diminUtion. The
consequence was further decline, the extent
Of which could not be asCeTtained definitely,
though it was variOusly estimated at ) to
l5c. 1t is generally conceded that our market
rose dIsprOpOrtiOnately high last week.
Our opinion is that it has gone disproPOr-
tionately low now, aud We think it will
rally to some extent in a few days. There
is certainly nothing in the state of the
leading markets TO warrant the demOraliz4
ton eyinced in Nashville yesterday. The
future course of the market seems, at present,
a matter Of utter ObsCurity. There appears
no reason, however, why it should not
be favorable to good prices and a regular
movement. The explanation Of this sud
den and PERCEPTIONS depreciation of late is
that the millers Moth and South withdrew
from the market altogether, for a time,
after buying in ample stocks for temporary
reeds. The market thus PIT out Of joint,
will adjust itself of its own forces.

THE SOUTHEASTERN ROAD.
Proposition for a BOndhOIders' Com
mIttee 10 Operate It.

mittee 10 Operate It.
The latest Financial and Commercial
Chronicle Of New York has the following:
A plan of reorganization transmitted to
the bOndhOlders' committee in Europe,
proposes the appointment of committee,
which is 10 supervise the operations of the
road and TO decide how much of the income
shall be applied to improvements or to the
payment o. debts outside the coupons, the
road, however, to remain in possession Of
the receivers until settlement Of the debts
subject to the first mortgage shall have been
arranged. 1t is proposed that the net in
come be applied first to the payment of the
coupons or the first mortgage bonds al
ready in default, and afterwards to those
which will fall due within FIVE
years from May, 1875. The holders of the
consolidated bonds and the floating debs
creditors 10 receive for their claims income
bonds secured by second mortgage, the in
terest of which shall be payable only when
there is a surplus after paying the first
mortgage interest. The first mortgage
bOndhOlders on their part to consent that
if, by 1880, they shall have received 80 per
cent. of all the coupons past due, they will
fund the balance in income bonds: Ii
they have not received so per cent, then
they shall continue to be paid from the net
earnings until the 80 per cent. is made up.
l. IS expected that after 1880 full payment
of interest will be resumed. IL is urged
that by this plan the holders OF the Junior
obligations will not be dropped altogether,
while the first mortgage bondhOlders will
receive all the net earnings until then
claims are satisfied.

LETTER FROM CEDAR VALLEY.
CEDAR VALLEY, Mohave County, March 20th, 1875.


 Our prospects are brigheening every day and before long hope to be able to chroni- cle the discovery of ''bonanza" here in our district rivalng in size and richness the far famed one of Washoe. Those of us who are here and who have studied the signs" ot the last two years feel sure of its existence, and now that Mir. J. B. Magendie, owner of the Magendie mine on the Arnold lode, has reached the upper edge ot 1t, our prophe- cies seem on the eve of fultillment.
 The Magendie mine adjo;ns the Arnold on the south and is what is known as the Ar mold lode, so named from its dlscoverer, W. F. Arnold The ledge here Is from ten to fifteen feet wide and the ore at the present depth of the shaft eco feet) is rich sul- phuret distributed throughout the entire width of the vein, and it improves Tn rich ness with every foot sunk. l need hardly say that Mir. M. is highly pleased with his prospects and intends to sink the present shaft at least 2O0 feet before be stops work. unless he is prevented by water.
 On the Silver Queen Mine, also on the Ar mold lode, they have struck body of ore similar in character and richness to that on the Magendie. Work will soon be vigorously | prosecuted on this as well as on other mines on this lode, and no one fears the result Work is also being done on the Silver Era, Gun sight, Americus and other mines here with satisfactory results.
 Messrs. Grd and Bleakeley are running two steam arrastras and are working ore: from various mines with very fair returns They have just finished lot from the Gun , sight which went over five hundred dollar: | per ton.
 The news from the district to the South O here is very gratifying. A large force O men is employed on the McCrackin mine ant at every stroke it seems to improve in rich ness. It is without doubt one of the won ders of the world and in every way equal t' the greatest miues in this or any other land It has been bought, understand from goo' authority, for the Bank of California.
 Work is also going on at Greenwood an' the mine is in every way satisfactory Tn mill at Greenwood City is doubtless running They were about ready to start week since when was there, and were only waiting to more copper plates, which they have now rt ceived.
 Business in Greenwood City appeared yer krisk and the town was building up yer fast PAUL WEBER.
