g-The Washington and Ohio Rail

30 The Washington and Ohio Rail-
road Company, it appears, on Friday
last adopted proposition to make Os.
car a, Stevens vice-prcsident and gene.
raj manager, on condition that sufficient
money was raised to carry the road to
Winchreter 1t is understood the mo.
ney is to be furnished by the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company, which will
then have control.
Abiding to the proposition of Mr.
Stevens, adopted by the Company, the
Washington Star says: ut is under.
stood that the capitalists who are act.
ing through Mr.. Stevens will assist the
Company not only to carry the road TO
Winchester, but to the coal fields in
Hampshire county, twenty-three miles
beyond. Washington may then hope to
secure portion of the large produce
trade of the Valley Of Virginia, by far
the largest part of which now goes by
the Valley and Baltimore and Ohio rail
roads TO Baltimore. Also, perhaps, n
share of the trade in coal from lamp
shire county, which coal is repre- scented
to he of superior quality. This eX-
tension will do much for Alexandria,
which will he the natural shipping port
for coal"

AS OTHERS SEE Us.-The Y. S. Econo-
mist, of New York, has the following
editorial remarks concerning the resour-
ces Of West Virginia: THE industrial
resources and natural wealth of West
Virginia are at length attracting the at
tention which they deserve, & both Eas-
tern and foreign capital has been within
the last few years invested to consid-
cradle amount. Messrs. Moses Taylor,
Cisco, Stuart, the Astors, and other Ca
ptalists are known to have invested
quite heavily, and there can he no qucs-
ton that il trade was only reasonable
the investments would be much larger
than they are. For richness, variety and
accessibility the Kanawha Valley pos
sesses advantages not to be found else
where i'm the world. There is no mining
in the ordinary sense of the term. The
minerals nearly all lie on the surface, q
for scores of miles on the track Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad coal and
iron may be detached from the clefts i'm
the mountain side and rolled down to
the railroad cars waiting to receive
them"

Advance in Grain-Large For
eign Demand.

- ET{ " ~ - NJ So,
For the past three weeks there has
been strong upward tendency in the
grain trade OF New York and Chicago,
occasioned By an unprecedented foreign
demand. From Northern and Western
papers the Winchester Times gathers
some facts in connection with this excite
ment in the Breadstuf market which
will be OF interest to our readers. The
transactions of "Wednesday, the l4th, at
tanned the enormous figure of three
quarters OF million of bushels. Un-
der this. stimulant prices have touched
the highest point by several cents yet
reached in the New York market, cx-
ceeding even the speculative prices of
the Chicago market i'm May last
The extent to which the market has
been affected is shown by the fact that
the same grade of wheat which brought
Sl.22 abushei on the ist Of July is now
quoted ut Sl.5O. an advance of % cents
bushel, or % per cent. in three weeks.
Corn has felt the impulse, though to q
less degree and has advanced in the
same period from 7S cents n bushels TO
90 and 81 cents, or about 12J per CT.
"These says the ~. Y. Express of Fri
day, are very striking changes. coming
rs they DO, in the midst of season of
great depression, and when the signs OF
revival Of trade were extremely nnsat-
isfactory.n The same paper adds:
The general advance seems TO he
well founded, and from Indications it
will he very difficult to break the mar
ket down TO anything like the figures Of
n few weeks since. Continental buyers
were the first dealers who seemed to
have had possession ofthe essential and
important points, and their basis of ope-
rations was the short crop OF cereals in
Russia, which fact, coupled with the de-
structive floods in England and France.
fully vcrifies their Judgment of the fu-
ture course of values in this market
They have purchased all the wheat in
this market, the supplies in the canal,
and in fact have extended their opera
tons into grain that is yet to be shipped
from the West, and according to report
all the wheat now in transit upon the
lakes and early prospective shipments
has been sold for foreign account

THE CALTFoRNIA WHEAT CRoP.-Thc
early estimate of bountiful wheat crop
in California seems to have been pre-
mature. 1t was based upon the fact
that the rainfall had been sufficient to
mature wheat. The Fredericksburg
Heroid remarks: Whether the atmos-
phere was uncommonly dry or whether
the soil has been exhausted by repeated
cropping. so as to require more moisture,
will he interesting to- those most con-
cerned to discuss. With n poor promise
on much of the uplands, came a. heavy
wind which damaged early grain, and
next came violent rain storm, which
damaged more grain. Such q storm at
the opening OF Summer is said not to
have occurred since the settlement of
that coast. An estimate Of 100000
bushels of wheat instead Of 10000. 900
bushels may be considered within
bounds. Certainly for twenty years the
wheat producing lands Of California
have been subjected to great strain.
Wheat has succeeded wheat. and il is
likely that the meridian has been passed,
aud that hereafter there will be less
wheat per acre than formerly"
