The Activity in Wheat In New York
Causes Of the Heavy transactions
ON Change for Foreign Account
Views OF Prominent Merchants.


The unusually heavy transactions in
! the new crop OF wheat which have taken
place on Change during the past week,
and the large orders which continue To-
come IN from abroad have attracted much
attention and given rise TO considerable
comment. 1t was thought IN some
quarters that there must be deeper mo
tIves underlying the increased activIty
than were apparent on the surface, anu
that possibly complications might have
recently arisen IN Europe OF which 10
notice mad been given by the cable. In
order to ascertain how far these surmises
we're correct, representative OF the
Bulletin called upon few of the leading
merchants TO learn their views. The
opinion prevalent among the trade was
sscertsined to be that the demand was
perfectly legitimate, and that foreign
purchasers were taking advantage OF the
low price at which the new crop was
offered Tor future delivery. The sales
thus far for foreign account have en-
braced all the western winter crop that
was offered, the dealings IN spring wheat
having been liHited, while spot sales
have been almost wholly confined to
southern and taken by the city trade.
The expectation OF a large falling oil In
the California crop has also helped to
swell the volume of business IL orders
for western winter whest.
Mr.. Thee. |. Hustled, OF the firm OF
Jesse Hoyt i Co., sad: The transac-
tions in the winter wheat for future de-
livery have been large, but after Al! they
have not been much greater than might
be ante pated at this season OF the year.
The business ust now : perfectly legiti.
mate, and indicates simply that there
will be good demand from abroad Tor
our breadstutfs, and that we will have n
plentiful supply to NEE. 1t. The orders
from England have come IN very strong

price .or that on Saturday, tor instance,

When some good men and true OF the
body of the county did on their oath

That heretofore, to wit: upon the second

A. d. 1877, about the hour OF noon, IN the
county and state aforesaid, one

Contrary to the statute in such case eX-

And provided; and against the peace
and dignity of the state wherein the
venue mad be,n laid.
The prisoner, 10 eph Scroggs, was th9n
arraigned upon this charge,
And plead not guilty, and OF TINS ne
threw himself upon tue country at
large;
And said Joseph being poor. the Court
did graclous.y appoint
Mt smith TO defend him-mucn on Ine
same principle that obtains IN every
charity hospital, where young
medical student rs often set 10 rect

The witnesses seemed prejudiced against
poor Mr.. ScroggS;
And The district attorney made a thrill
ing speech, IN which hetold the jury
that II they didn't find for the state

Then MIR. smith arose and made his
speech tor the def nse,
