LIVERPOOL, Oct. pa leading grain cir
cular says: "Under the threatening aspect
of the Eastern question, holders of wheat
are less inclined to part with their stock.
At the same time, there has been an active
inquiry, resulting in considerable business,
chiefly for cargoes to arrive, at daily ad-
vancing prices.
1.-THE improvement in yesterdays mar
kets being one or two shillings per quarter
since Thursday, the transactions have been
large in this and neighboring markets, and
i'd. per Genital over previous currencies has
been freely paid. Maize was also in good
request and improved I'd. to Cd. per quarter.
Wheat at the market to-day was firmly held
at 4d. per Genital above Tuesdays rates,
which checked the demand, and only a
moderate business was transacted. Flour
was shilling per sack and barrel dearer.
Corn being in limited supply, improved Is

a Financial view Of the Situation

~
LONDON, Oct. 23.-The steady advance
In Consols and other international stocks,
which fell during last weeks panic, indicate
the prevailing impression here that war is
not Imminent, and that a peaceable solution
of the Eastern question is not impossible.
THE THUNDERER MORE HOPEFUL.
The London Times to-day, in leading
that unreasonable alarms may be succeeded
by unreasonable hopes, but it is evident tha'
we need not despair of seeing the crisis pass
away without an outbreak Of hostllltles De-
tween Russia and Turkey.
Heretofore the Times has considered a
Russo Turkish war inevitable. The SAINT
change of opinion is noticeable In other
quarters,
THE EXCITEMENT OVER.
The recent excitement has had the good
effect of demonstrating what would be the
attitude of the powers in case of an aggres-
sive war by Russia. Had six weeks ar
mistice been accepted by the Porte it is not
unlikely that its termination would have
witnessed the same hostile demonstrations
on the part of Russia, with greater danger
of its resulting in actual hostilities. 1t seems
probable now that the question may be set
tied peaceably.
AsoUND AND LASTING PACIFICATIoN.
A despatch to the Official Russion Tele-
graphic Agency says the departure of Lord
LOTUS, the British Ambassador at st. Pc
tersburg, for Livadia, and Gen. 1gnatief for
Constantinople, should be interpreted as
further proof that Russia and England are
endeavoring to arrive at sound and lasting
pacifcation.
THE OTHER sIDE-IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE
PEACE.
Per contra, Reuter- despatch from Buch-
Arrest reports that the battle array OF the
concentrated Roumanian army has been
officially published, and that Prince Charles
assumes command. Though this looks
rather alarming will probably be followed
by the announcement that it only refers to
the usual disciplinary movements. Mean
time, fighting in the Timok and Morava
valley and on the Drina has been renewed
with great stubbornness.
THE TURKS REPULsED.
General Tchernayeffe telegraphs that the
Turks were repulsed along the whole line
but the evidence of newspaper correspon
dents is unanimous that the Serviahs were
badly whipped and lost 800 men in their
attempt on Taitschar, and 5000 about
Deligrad.

Warner in London.

Wagner found London almost as hostile
as Paris, but he has vanquished the English
nublic at last. A London letter describes
the reception of his opera of "Flying Dutch
man" as 1t was performed by the Carl
Rosa company this month. The English
mu sical world has been fascinated with
Mendelssohn for so long that Wagner s
forms must seem strange and wild. But 1t
NAV be said that his music resembles vice
in this respect, at least, that we first endure
then pity, then embrace.

Very French-TOO Much Partridge

A man named Courbalon is before Paris
court charged with the death of his wife
under extraordinary circumstance. He
covered an intimacy existing between her
self and one Joseph Partridge. Partridge fled,
impelled by several vigorous kicks, and the
lady implored pardon.
"Pardon, oh yes" replied Courbalon in a
sinister tone.
The next day, at noon, the servants placed
on the table six roasted partridges, which in
France are much larger than those in the
United States. AS soon as his wife sat
down he locked the door and drew from his
pocket a revolver
MADAME" he said, "the hour for your
punishment has come. You have dishonored
me by means of man named Partridge,
ard here are six Of his namesakes for you to
dine on. You will please eat them to the
last morsel. If you cease doing so or if you
attempt to give an alarm, / will blow your
brains out"
The unhappy woman, feeling the impos-
sibility of accomplishing the task without
killing herself, fell on her knees and i'm
plored his pity. Courbalon's only reply
was to cock his revolver, and she therefore
commenced her task.
II forgot to say that forbid your drink
ing while you eat," said Courbalon. The
poor woman, after finishing the second
partridge, showed signs of illness. She
lifted her sad eyes to her husband with ar
| imploring expression, but he pointed mex
| orably at her head. In two hours and {
half the six birds were eaten at 9 O'Clock
that night the woman died of indigestion.

Specimen Bricks.

One of the sharpest contests in the Florida election is over the returns of the Archer Precinct, Alachua County. The official return showed vote of 399 for the Republican ticket, and 136 for the Democratic. The Democrats claim that this is all fraud, engineered by one Den his, an old hand at such matters. and that the true vote was 178 Rep, and Al Dem The case was on trial before the State Canvassers, last week, and the evi. dence is curiosity worthy of special at- tention in connection with the general question of the conduct of Southern elec- tons. There seem to have been three h. spectors of election at the Archer Pre- cinct. First comes Philadelphia negro named Black, who swears that the Re- publican return is correct. The second. a negro named Dukes, who cannot read, swears to the correctness of the Demo- cratic count This he first did by affida- vit; but the Republicans introduced Q counter-afidavit retracting the first. Then Dukes appeared before the Canvassers in person, and swore that affidavit No. 2 was a forgery. and that the Democratic count is certainly the correct one. He further testifies that ext Congressman Walls (col- ored) offered him $25 to lie for the Re- publicans and that he refused to do it. This Walls denies, and black boy who cannot read, swears that he heard Dukes affidavit No. read to him, and saw him sign it, though he got badly muddled as to the place where this operation was per- formed. But the most remarkable cleo. tion officer on recoid is G. R. Moore, the other Inspector. He is white. and made affidavit Tn accordance with the Demo- cratic claim; then the Republicans offered 8 counter affidavit from him, too, and the Democrats replied by producing him in person, as iu the case of Dukes. He tes- tified that the true count was that claimed by the Democrats. He says that when he heard of the Republican claim he publicly denounced it as fraud, and that the Democrats then took his affidavit to the same effect. He further swore that the Republican sheriff gave hlm $1OO, in Dennis office. to sign paper (probably his counter.affidaviD, which he did, but never swore to it. Whether he had con. scientious scruples about perjury, or whether he considered the price paid too low for false oath. does not appear.
 The clerk of this queer board was a Northern negro. born in Canada, who had
 been employed in Dennis office by the county assessors about month before
