Condition Of the Markets.

The general markets are far from
satisfactory, especially in wheat and pork.
The European war cloud has not, so far,
had the stimulating effect anticipated on
the former, while it has had a most depress-
ing effect on the latter. In the produce mar
ket, eggs are in demand, but poultry and
common shipping butter are drug.
In the wheat market we quote from St.
Paul and Minneapolis prices, Sl.o2@l.o6 for
No. l; 9Sc@Sl. 90 tor No. .; and 90@95c for
No. 3. Milwaukee paid sl.22 for No. /, and
sl.18 for No. 2. Chicago prices were weak at
s1.19@1. 20 tor No. L., and SLIT for No. 2.
The hog market at the local markets was
very good, but in Chicago, which has long
since outstripped Cincinnati as a market, the
price is reported as very uncertain, with pros
poets in favor of very large arrivals. In local
markets the ruling price for the week has been
6X@5Xc.
Fruits are still low, with small prospects of
an early advance. Apples can be bought in
St. Paul and other Northwestern markets for
$2.35@2.5O per barrel for first Michigan, and
e2.2.2 for common lots.
Oats, corn and barley are weak and there is
little demand.

On the 9Th inst. in the Senate, on
motion to take up Edmunds' resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the constitution pro-
vlding the manner OF counting the electoral
vote, Merrimon made tine point of order that
under the 2lst joint rule the resolution could
not now be considered. The Chair Ferry
overruled the point, and announced that the
joint rules were not in force. Merrimon ap-
pealed from the decision Of the Chair, with
other Democrats arguing th't the joint rules
were in force, because they could not be abol-
ished by one House without the consent of
the other. Bayard (Dem. as at the last ses-

and asserted that the joint rules might be
terminated by each House at it's discretion.

A dispatch from Pesth says it is re-

atoms tor struggle with earnestness. For
midable Notifications are going upat Widin,
Lutschuk, Silistria and Tultschea. Artillery

are hurrying their preparations to take the

around Kersehonef were to have been con-
centrated on the Breith by Dec. LIST. Nearly
all the Turkish troops have LETT Bosnia and
Herzegovina, the Porte having determined
not to resist the occupation Of those Provinces
by Austria in case of war. Austria has ORDER

Join General Crook on Crazy Woman's Fork
and a combined attack will be made on Crazy
Horse, who is reported to be on the Rosebud
Bessie Turner.


The New York World has the follow
ing: 'Miss Bessie Turner held situation at
an uptown restaurant until lately, when her
notoriety in the Beecher trial caused her so
much inconvenience that she gladly accepted
an invitation from Mrs. S. T. Reese, wife Of
Police Justice Reese, Of Jersey City, to become
her guest. During last summer Miss Turner
lived with her brother, young McDermott, at
Long Branch, but, after leaving the restaur-
ant referred to, he lost trace of her until last
Saturday, when he saw her at the Reese resid-
ence, on Jersey City heights. He says that
she scolded him soundly for searching her
out, whereby he was much astonished, be-
cause she seemed to live very happily with
him last summer, and because he had sup
piled her with sufficient money for her wants
until she unaccouutably disappeared. On
this occasion, however, she refused to recog-
nize him as her brother and ordered him out
of the house. McDermott hints at certain dis
closures in this connection"

Arthur Alison was a wonderfully
seedy individual, who stood with great
modesty before the bar of the Fifty

''Arthur," began his Honor, in his
perfunctory tone but suddenly broad
smile irradiated his countenence and
cordially came into his voice:

Brooklyn theatre took fire on the

rnE SOUTHERN VERSION.

The feeling Of the Indiana Democrats
towards the Reunion of the s'boys in
blue'' at indianapolis last month, was
indicated by an incident that occurred
on the day preceding the meeting of
the veterans. A large national flag from
the Democratic State Committee build
ing, bore the inscription on that day,
"Welcome to Union Veterans" On
the following morning the flag wa there,
but the inscription had been removed
The earnest patriotism and enthusi-
asm of the soldiers had been more than
the Democrats were willing to counte-
nance, and their inscription of "Wel-
come, was in consequence hurled down.
Men who fought to uphold the Union,
and were willing to risk their lives again
in its defense could not be looked upon
with favor by Democrats Of the Hen
bricks stripe. AS an offset to this in
eident there was another that will be
long remembered a~ffectionately by the
multitude of veterans present. This
was a communication from Gov. Hayes
which was read to the convention by
Gen. Noyes. The recognition of the
Boys in Blue was as follows:
COLUMBUS, O., Wednesday Sept. 90, '76
To Gen. El,rard r. Noyes, Chairman
Soldiers Contention:
am grateful to my comrades Of the
Union army, assembled at Indianapolis,
for their hearty greeting. The men
who maintained the cause of national
unity and freedom on SC many battle
fields are not willing to see the results
of the war imperiled by neglect or mis-
conduct at the ballotbox. Their exam-
pie will be very influential with all in
telligent and patriotic people.
r. B. HAYES.
The reading of this dispatch was the
signal for prolonged applause. Cheer
after cheer was given for the soldier
statesman who heads the Republican
national ticket. 1t was only an incident
but then it shows how the soldiers vote
of the West will be cast.
