Republican Convictions Parishes Held
Over.

NEW ORLEANS, November 90 6 | be-
liieye that Senator Sherman Is convinced that the
state went fairly for Tilden, and that nothing but
the most audacOuS fraud and the most violent per-
versions of law and justice can deprive him OF It's
vote. General Van Alen Of New York to-day de
clared that he would sign no report approving OF
counting I'm the five missing names of the defective
ballots. There Is little doubt now that the pretended
supplemental return for NatchtOches is fraud and
a forgery, otherwise one of the commissioners did
not know his own name which IS signed -
Hubby the christian name and initials being
omitted. An extensive plan for kul1luxing the re-
turns appears to have been cOntrved by the Repub-
llcanS but It will at least be exposed. Whether or
not this will influence the board TO desIst from their
purpose TO vitiate the vote of the State Is more
doubtful. On inquiry 1t is ascertained that num-
Der of parishes have been laid over by the board,
under the protest of Packard, the Republican can
ddate for governor. These parishes are East Baton
Rouge, Benyille, Caldwell, De Soto, Franklin,
Grant, Richland, Sabine, VIM, Livingston, Lin
coin, MOrehOuse, 0uachita and East Feliclana CIV

FOREIGN MARKETS.

The Mark Lane Express, in its re
view of the British grain trade during
the week ending May 20, says
1he present aspect of the country
although not alarming, is not calcu-
lated to afford farmers much satisfac-
ton. Light lands bear fairly promis.
ing crops, but on heavy soils the crops
are poor. We incline to the idea that
with the cessation of cold winds, and
with a little warm rain, crops will
fairly recover The country markets
were, almost without exception, dearer
at the close of last week. The trade
in London has been marked with con
siderable irmness. and with steady
demand FOR the Continent. Wheat
has improved shilling per quarter
The continuance of the export inquiry,
and the steadiness with which cargoes
of the coast are taken fOr the Cont
nent, show that the request is based
upon d genuine foundation, and the
leading features of the trade have
been considerably strengthened there
by. In addition TO the inquiry for
wheat on the spot and cargoes of the
coast, the demand for the Continent
has extended to cargOes on passage
from Australia and California.
