THE ST. LOUIS LEAD MARKET.

The state of the lead market in all
parts Of the United States can not he
otherwise than of interest to this COM
munity. 1t therefore follows that the
%subioined, from a st. Louis mining
journal, will possess interest for the
greater share of our local readers:
'T"is leading product of Missouri is
in a lower quotable condition than for
Is years. The producers have held
the belief that war in Europe would
provide not only a check for the de-
cline, but as we'll an urgent demand
for lead at war prices. our reasons
given last week are becoming more
cogent as the European situation de-
yelops. 1t is unjustifable, We say. in
the present, or any probable contin
gency, to look for a wider war than
now exists. There can lie now but
two causes to bring on a European
war, and possibilities that way are
very remote. Russia can bring on
war by crossing the Pruth and the
Danube; but she dares not to do it.
Poverty of purse and inability to
equip in modern armOr are the rea-
sons, not Derby's "love of peace" on
the part of the Gar. The other provo
cative rests with Austria. Hungary
has an old bitter score to close up with
Russia, and sooner or later the slate
will be cleared, but not this time.
England Is quietly reposing in iron
clad force in Besika Bay, with a feet
that could extinguish the Russian navy
in a few broadsides and vigorous
punches of her ans and as for Odes-
sa, and every other Russian Black Sea
port, the fate Of Sebastopol would be
their fate. See, therefore, the improb.
ability of such relief Is u friends
look for. We advise a closer trim
ming of business operations as a wise
preparation for lower prices"

JUBrLATINa.-Night before last at a
late hour-too late for u last issue
the Democrats received intelligence
regarding the presidential situation
which caused them to rejoice and bet
two to one. There was music, speeches,
shooting, etc, but yesterday all seemed
quiet. The best informed of both par.
ties were disposed 10 consider the re-
suit doubtful, and so kept their mouths
closed. In a general sense it was con-
ceded that the Democrats had the best
VI tHe uRHty Dut SILL there were ISe-
publicaus who manifested q DISPOSE
ton to back their opinions with coin.
As near as this local writer can find
out Tilden has the best of it in the
doubtful Southern States, yet there are
strong approximations among Demo-
Gratis that they may be cheated out of
the victory in the count. Such is at
least the prevailing opinion here, and
we give IL for what is worth.
WAITING FOL NEWS Crowds of
people still continue TO throng the
saloons and other places OF resort
looking for election returns There is
no abatement of the excitement and
probably there will be none until the
final result Is positively known. Ev.
cry scrap of news from whatever
source is sought with deep and unfiag.
ing interest. Our Republican friends
were hardly as blue last night as they
bad been for several days prior. Ev-
cry member of that party has an
abiding faith that the three doubtful
States will vet :urn up in favor OF
Hayes and Wheeler. May-b DO so.
MASONIC. - Last evening Eureka
Lodge No. 16, f. & A. NJ, at a special
communication, elected David f.. Baily
representative Of this Lodge to the
Grand Lodge OF Free and Accepted
Masons, to be held at Virginia City,
on the third Tuesday (2lst) of this
month. We learn that the Masonic
Grand Lodge of this State meets un-
der rather peculiar and somewhat IN
barrassing circumstances this year, as
all of their furniture, books, ape
and records were burned in the great
tire which swept our sister city with
such terrible effect on the Goth of Oc-
tober, one year ago.
DEMOCRATIC FEARs.-A great many
Democrats hereabouts express fear
that the holding back of the returns in
Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida
means fraud on the Tart Of the sup.
porters of Hayes. This, they seem
sanguine, is the only chance they have
to lose. Cooked returns is the
nightmare hat now haunts the Demo
crat who has his coin up on the result
of the presidential battle. We hear n
great deal of talk to this effect, and
hence we shove in the same as an item
of ews
CHoPPED.-It affords us the greatest
pleasure TO accord one OF the first evil
dences Of reform arising from the late
election. We record it not only with
pleasure but with absolute delight. IL
is this: Our friend Pete Caravan was
around looking for " softs I" to take his
offers that Tilden, Hendricks and Re-
form were elected. This was not only
an evidence Of reform on the part of
our friend, but shows that his head
has assumed u due level, and not I" the
lower level +" either. Success to Pete
and Reform, or any other man.
A HIToH.-There seems to be some
kind OF a hitch about the transfer OF
the Goodies Il Bertrand mine to Cash
wiler and his associates. We can't say
that the sale is off, but it is pretty GER
tain that matters are hanging fire for a
time. Mr.. Gashwiler has gone to San
