General Grant.

Ex-President Grant in letter just re-
ceived by relative in Washington, states
that he has found the labor of accepting
the hospitality of his English friends
more arduous than the cares of State.
II had, in fact, become SO great tax upon
his health that FROM the LIST of October he
had determined 10 retire TO private life,
and that the hrst thing he should do would
be to avail himself of the courtesy ex-
tended by the Secretary of the Navy to
visit the Mediterranean in one of tho
vessels Of the European squadron and
spend some time in the waters of Italy.
He does not expect to return to the United
States until December Of next year.

The Grain Crop Good-The Potato
Crop Enllure-Large Grass Yield
The Importation OF Foreign
Wheat.
LONDON, Oct. 16.-Tho Mark Lane En-
press in its usual weekly review OF the
grain trade says. '"The hne weather which
has prevailed during the last month has
proved a great boon to farmers who were
unable to ,thresh their wheat under dry
atmosphere and make rapid progress in
the preparation of land for the autumn til
lage. The English harvest is now finished
and the main bulk of cereals
in Scotland has been Sc
cured in good order; but in the northern
districts fields o., standing grain are still to
be seen. The potato crop will most Ger.
tainly prove failure. Although no doubt
the dry weather of the past few weeks has
been very useful in checking the spread of
the disease which in some parts of Ireland,
and also on the Continent, Threatened to
destroy the tubers entirely. Root crops
are not making rapid progress and in the
north Swedes have beeu affected by
mildew. The second heavy grass
crop which is now being
being secure, will prove boon to stock
owners, who were beginning to show
anxiety owing to the scarcity of roots and
the high price of winter fodder. The
supplies of homegrown wheat in the
country and ct Mark Lane, have shown by
their improved condition how general the
fine weather has been, but in spite oil
moderate offerings there has been nc
advance in values. The imports of foreign
wheat into London continue large, and il
is evident that Russia is straining every
nerve to turn as much Of her wheat as she
can into money, before winter closes hel
ports, from the fact that last week.
returns showed the arrival Of over fifty
thousand quarters of st. Petersburg wheat
This process has doubtless been increased
by the unprecsdentedly low rate to which
Russian exchange has fallen. These sup
plies, coupled with the very heavy ship
ments from America, must neces
sarily depress trade for awhile, AM
il is necessary to bear carefully in min
the enormous consumption by the country
as well as the possible requirements of til
continent to avoid falling into the eric
neous idea that we are threatened with
glut Of corn.
A fair amount Of steadiness character
lied the wheat trade at Mark Lane, BIT
transactions wero limited. No quotabl
change has occurred in prices 9Th
attention of millers is almost exclusivel
directed towards American wheat,
much so, in fact, that Indian description
which have been regarded with 80 niue
favor, have been almost entirely neglected
Good Russian varieties, however, ST
hold their ground. The demand fl
: maize is steady, with but. very little chant
in value. Oats sold slowly at barely the 10
rates."

RAILROAD TRANSF Err.
Result Of the Negotiations Of the
Pennsylvanla Railroad for the
P0rehaoo Of the Emptre Line.

4tGWWU& VI umr N0BVAh&S1~~D % 49,
Pennsylvania Railroad for the
Farehass Of the Empire Line.
PHILADELPHIA, October 16.-The an
nual meeting of the stockholders OF the
Empire Transportation Company will be
held o-morrow at O'Clock, Mt the Board
of Trade rooms, the principal purpose be-
ing TO vote upon the ratification OF an
agreement to sell to the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company their entire transporta-
ton property and equipment incident
thereto, and also to rstify an agreement
to sell certain shares of capital stock which
the company owns in other corporations,
besides receiving the annual report and
electing new directors.
The Board of Directors Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company met on the 18th
of last month, when negotiations for the
purchase were concluded, without settling
the details of the transfer. Possession of
the Empire Line will be mammoth ac-
QUESTION to the great railroad corporations.
The business of exclusively fast freight
lines will be abolished, and the immense
trade left in the hands of one corporation.
The Empire Line is the most powerful of
these freight carrying monopolies, and
controls the oil trade of this State. To
obtain possession Of this is the main cause
of the purchase, and the value of the new
lease is iixed At about Of, 900, 600 per annum.
While the Pennsylvania railroad itself can
not pay dividend, the Empire and other
fast freight lines never passed dividing
their profits, and these sums have never
been less than ten per cent.
In the sale of the Empire Line the stock
holders are not entirely independent, as
the Pennsylvania Company always had the
right to purchase the propelty-a wise
protection the Pennsylvania Company
reserved, as otherwise the Empire might
have built up an immense business and
turned it over to an opposition railroad
line.
The improvement in the receipts Of
the Pennsylvania railroad by the purchase
will depend upon certain results. A large
portion of the increased revenue which is
expected, amounting to million or mil
lion and q half, will be derived, it is
believed from an increase in the rates of
oil transportation. Heretofore their rates
have been kept down by the New York
roads, but it is understood the railroad
company will sell the pipe lines and
refineries to the Standard Oil Company.
| Then it seems question whether or not
the Pennsylvania road can carry on trans.
portation under the contracts of the
Empire Line az it did. It is doubtful, fol
instance, whether a renewal, OF then
expiration can be obtained, of the Empire
Companys contracts with the Lake Shore
road and other lines controlled By
