THE MARK ETjS.

We are indebted to Messrs. Powers
Lynde q Wright, of Kansas City, for thefol-
lowing reliable review of the grain trade:
Wheat-yalues of all grain have been
steadily ytcnding downward induced by con-
ilrmed peace" reports and lower markets
abroad as well as by extraordinarily large
Britain has been favorable for the growing
crops; supplies from imports, and farm
ers' deliveries" throughout the United
Kingdom continue greater than the con-
sumption, and the Continental demand has
fallen off. Winter wheat has declined two
pence per GENITAL during Ike week, and
spring wheat two to four pence. For the
time being all the markets have settled
down to lower basis than was anticipated
by the most sanguine peace" man. On the
18th instant the Conference of European
Powers meets at Berlin to settle definitely
the pending questions of peace orwar. The
result cannot occasion much lower range
of prices, while 1t may stimulate partial
advance at least. Following these symp-
toms in foreign markets, our own home
markets are still further weakened by the
promise of the greatest yield of spring
and winter wheat the country has ever pro-
ducCd. Already in part of the winter wheat
sections harvesting has been progressing
for ten days and the weather is all that
could be desired for maturing the grain. In
the middle States there are complaints OF
rust, but not sufficient to be considered as
materially changing the promise of some
weeks ago To aid tho depression, millers
are still carrying large stocks of flour, which
is only in light demand.
COrn-The same weakness that attended
wheat in foreign markets has also attacked
corn. Prices have declined from 2is. 81.
to 23s. 3l.--a shilling a quarter-and in
our home markets lc to 1Hc II bushel. In
the eight weeks past nearly lSOOO,OOO BUSH
els have been exported to Great Britain,
far exceeding any cOnsumptlye demand yet
developed. For the next thirty days we
look for receipts being very light and Il
consequent steady movement in values.
Outs-The absence of any foreign de-
mand since the peace feeling has been in
the ascendant, the increased movement to
seaboard and the decline Of 23 a bushel,
are the features noticeable in past weeks
operations.
Rye-A decline in this cereal Of 3 to 4c a
bushel has taken place: the general move
ment to market is unchanged, while the
demand for exports is more moderate.
The same causes operating against wheat
will be necessary to establish an apprecia
tlon.

JAMES GoRDEN BENNET is SO disgust
ed with the contradictory accounts of
his little affair with May that he will
consent that the truth according to him
should be published. Aud he says, too,
that if the people think he ought to be
tried in the courts for the crime of du-
cling, he will come home and submit.

A NUMBER of striking miners in West
Virginia seized steamer, the other
day, and forced the officers to convey
them to another district, where they
compelled some men to quit work.
That accomplished, they captured a
railroad train and helped themselves to
free ride home. The excursion was
doubtless an exceedingly pleasant one
for the mob, but the railroad and steam
boat owners could not have greatly en-
ioyed it. Lest such cheap recreation
nay become popular with idle work
men, it should be mentioned that YES
sells engaged in navigation are under
the protection of United States law,
and that the statutes against piratical
seizures of such vessels are particularly
stringent.

NoBLING, who attempted to murder
the Emperor of Germany the other day,
is said to have confessed his earnest
sympathy with the ultramontanes and
socialists ts-a curious combination. He
had accomplices, he said, but would not
name them at present. The job of talk
ing off the Emperor. fell to him by lot,
which is certainly poor way to select
person for such an Office. As rea-
son for his crime, Nobling expressed the
belief that the removal of the "head of
the state" would be for the public ad
vantage. If that idea really inspired
him, the wonder is that he did not turn
his artillery upon Bismarck instead of
peppering the weak and harmless old
Emperor.

The issue of bulletins about the EN-
peror William was discontinued by the
court physicians at Berlin, on the 4th,
The condition of the patient was so fa-
vorable that special reports were no
longer considered necessary. At the
same time there seemed to be some ap-
prehensions that the shock of this sec
ond attempt on the Emperor's life may
break down his constitution, already en-
feebled by age. It is reported that the
idea of the old mans abdication or the
appointment of the crown Prince as re-
gent, has been seriously entertained.

OleOmargarine VS.. Butter.

| The manufacture of OleOmargarine or
artificial butter has fairly taken rank as
permanent industry, and despite the
prcjudces existing against the compound
it seems to be slowly gaining rccogni-
tion as a legitimate article of commerce
and an innocuOus food. The cOntro-
versy between the makers of dairy butter
and oleomargarne is being keenly car
ried on in New York in view of probable
/ legislation regulating the sale of the new
product Prof. Chandler, President of
the New York Board Of Health, las pro.
Inounccl the artificial butter perfectly
wholesome, and the opinion Of Prof. L.
/ ). Wayne, a leading Western analyst, is
equally positive to the same effect. Prof
/ Wuyae contends that from chemical
standpoint OleomQrgarine really Is but
teg-,hat it contains precisely the same
| ingredients and nothing more. Science
and art, he saij, have stolen the secret
from Nature, and build up the same
compound that nature slowly and spar
ingly ciNboiatcs, and we separate as
butter from milk. The Professor thinks
that it has important advantages over
cream butter, as it keeps better and is
| iiccr from impurities. Artificial butter
resembles the natural product in that
there is vast difference between the
brands Of different dailics and inferior
articles of both kinds are put on the
market With all that may be said in
its praise it is not likely that any large
portion of the public will knowingly eat
oleomargarine when they can get what
they suppose to be real butter, SO great
is tie force Of prejudice or sentiment, or
whatever the objection may be called.
The dairymen Of New York, knowing
the public feeling, do not fight the new
compound on its merits but simply urge
that it should not be allowed to be sold
as the genuine extract OF cream. Legis-
lation is asked to prevent its sale as but
ter and let the public know what they
are buying This appears to be only rea-
sonable. There is no reason why the
fatty extract should be excluded from
the market, but let it be sold under its
own name, without disguise, and the
rights of both classes of makers as well
as of the public will he cured.-Bost0n

A SICKLY PRINCE.-The true story of
the mysterious illness of Prince Leopold,
youngest son of Queen Victoria, has now
become public. An English paper says:
The young prince, whose amiability has
long since cndeared him to all who know
him. suffers from a strange and dreadful
disease, which can best be described as Il
state of existence in which there is Il pc
culiur liability to the occurrence of pro-
fuse and more or less uncomfortable hem
orrhage or bleeding, both from the sur
face of the skin, and within the intersti-
tial tissues of the body. Life under these
conditions is in ceaseless peril. Exam
plies are not uncommon where the loss Of
blood, excited by the mere extraction OF
Il loose tooth, or by the accidental scratch
or prick OF a finger, has proved utterly
uncomfortable and in the eud fatal. Be
sides these terrible risks the disease en-
taiIs periods of pain which are often eX-
crUciatiOg, and these Prince Leopold is
said to bear with a serenity and patience
that are the admiration Of all about him. "

Irving--Ta Taylor.

There is a similarity in the circumstan-
ces under which Washington Irving was
appointed and confirmed as Minister to
Spain and Bayard Tayler as Minister to
Germany, not less remarkable than the
points If resemblance between the men
themselves and the training and habits
which had fitted them for their respective
posts. In each case majority of the
Senate was not in sympathy with the
President and had refused to confirm inn
portant nominations previously made by
him. In each case the appointment to
the diplomatic position was made entirely
without the solicitation of the nominee.
Mr.. Irving was so utterly ignorant Of the
Presidents intentions that when sufficient
time had elapsed after the appointment
for the news to reach him, Daniel Web
stcr, then Secretary VI state, remarked,
"WashipgtOn Irving is now the most
astonished man in New York; In each
case the nomination was received with
hearty approval 10y the politicians of both
parties and with universal applause by
the people, and in each case the appoint
mcnt was confirmed Ivy the Senate unani-
mousIy and almost, as it were, by ac-
clamation. In similarity Of personal
circumstances, aside from the profession
of literature, each, before his appoint
mcnt to ministerial position, had acted
as Charge d'Aflaires, Mr. Irving in Lon
don, Mr.. Taylor in st, Petersburg. Each
was sent to a country with whose Ian
guage, literature, and history he was es-
pcciaIIy familiar, and each, at the time Of
his appointment, was engaged in literary
work which rendered residence at bis
post peculiarly desirable and adyanta-
geous, 1t would be easy to indicate other
points of resemblance; as, for instance,
previous residence and literary labor in
New York, wide acquaintance and repu-
tation in other countries, and personal
characters singularly pure, simple and
genial.--N. Y. IriJune
