ANEULLINa THEIR CONTRACT:

AEEULLING THEIR CONTRACT:
GENTLEMEN: On the 25th ultimO. by direction Of
the Commissioners Of the District, l notified you
formally that the work under your contract for
sweeping and cleaning the avenues and streets of
Washington and Georgetown had been, and was
being unnecessarily delayed, and that you were
williully violating the conditions and covenants
of said contract. Your attention had previously
and repeatedly been called to the inadeduacy Of
your force and appliances, and the unsatisfactory
performance Of your work. The above mentioned
notice Of the 25th ultmO also warned you that
unless you should forthwith proceed to carry out
your contract thoroughly and to the letter, the
Commissioners would, under the third section of
your contract, put other parties in charge of the
work and charge the expense to you, and hold
yourselves and the slreties on your bond respOn-
sible therefor.
Since the aforementioned notice was given,
work, to Wilfully violate the conditions and coy
enants of said contract, and to execute said con-
tract in bad faith. The Commissioners of the
District therefore direct me to inform you that,
pursuant to the aforementioned third section of
said contract, they have placed Mr.. L. p. Wright
in charge Of the work described, to perform the
work for the residue Of the period named in said
contract.
The rate of compensation will be G25 1000 Of one
mill per square yard OF street swept and cleaned.
The expense Of the performance Of the work by
him will be charged to you, pursuant to said
third section. You and the sureties on your bond
will be held liable accordingly.
Mr.. L. P. WRIGHT AWARDED THE CONTRACT.
At the time :the above was sent to Carmody &
o. the following sent TO Mr.. L. p. Wright
to proceed with the work:
"SIR: Under the third section Of the contract
between the Commissioners Of the District and
Messrs Simon OsrmOdy Il Co. for sweeping and
cleaning the avenues and streets Of Washington
and Georgetown, am directed by the Commits
elOneTs TO inform you that they have to-day, and
do hereby, place you in charge Of the work de-
scribed In said contract, to perform said work at
the rate Of 625lOOO Of one mill per square yard.

year was TO be S29 81, The bid OF Mr. Wright

The Quality Of the Wheat Crop Of 1875.

We give below the inspections Of wheat re-
ceived in Milwaukee, Chicago and st. Louis:
We do this for the purpose oil showing the
average quality of the crop at the several
points. in Milwaukee the inspections of the
Sd inst were for two days. receipts, and con-
sisted of 79l cars. Of these cars graded NO.
hard, 2l2 cars No. l, 239 cars No. 2, 281 cars
No. 3, and Al cars rejected.
In Chicago the inspections for the 4th
inst consisted of 313 carsy Of these, there were
II cars No. !, III cars No. 2, Sc cars Nos,
80 cars rejected, and Car no grade.
In St. Louis on the Sd the inspections con-
sisted of 70 cars; of these car was No. soft

winter, 3 cars No. 2 red winter, % cars No. 8
red winter, 81 cars No. red winter, Is cars re-
jected red winter.
This is fair sample Of the deliveries at the
different points during the past month
1t is a fact worthy IF note that the percent
age of No. is much larger in Milwaukee, than
in Chicago, being about twenty mine per cent.
of No and hard in Milwaukee and only six
per cent. III Chicago. Of No. 2 the per cent
age in Chicago is about thirty mine and in Mil

Wheat.

The course of the wheat market for the past
week has been downward i'll price and a geu-
eral depression III the trade.
The eastern markets are overstocked with
low grade uusound wheat, and this is hard to
move, as the experience OF millers is that there
is no money in grinding it at any price. The
-four is not wanted and exporters will not pur-
chase it There is no doubt but that the very
large stock OF wheat reported in sight has de-
pressing influence on the markets of this
countr, and the effect on the European mar
ket is that they believe that there IS this large
stock in this country that fully so per cent. Of
this stock reported in sight is what is known
as '.stump tails' or unsound, which they do
not want, or the flour manufactured from it
The advance of freights from the west to the
seaboard with declining price in New York
will almost entirely stop deliveries BY farmers
in this State. Enough has been marketed tc
relieve the country in q great measure from
its embarrassment. Most farmers can weather
through the winter without selling. All the
warehouses and elevators will be filed on stor-
age. and bankers will advance money on the
receipts. In this way the supply from thesSats
will in great measure be cut OF. We thinl
Wisconsin will pursue about the same course
