RsgGILsH GRAIN REVIEW.
The Mark Lane E1press il its weekly
review of thc.corn trade says: The weather
has been dullthe past week. Rain fell every
day, and much delay was consequently ex-
perieneed in harvest operations In the eat
lier districts OF home counties the land has
been pretty well cleared of cereals, but in
some fields the ,oreps are still standing, while
in the North large proportion of the barley
is still uncut. III dsle South of England the
barley crop appears to be to great extent q
failure. In the midland counties where more
favorable hopes were expressed, the pros
poets have changed decidedly for the worse.
Scotch agricultural advices on the whole are
favorable both as regards wheat and barley,
but as the weather has been broken and
showery, some anxiety is felt, besides the in
corruption to field labor. The recent heavy
rain has almost put stop to threshng, and
farmers have marketed very little wheat at
Mark Lane or the provincial markets. Should
the wet weather prevail during the remainder
of harvest it is more than likely substantial
en- hancement of values will take place, cs-
pectally now that the French crop is serious
ly deficient, and the American yield OF spring
wheat is more than doubtful.
TREATY WITH INDIANS. .-
Generals Howard, Wheaton, Sawhille
and others, met Indian chiefs at Umatilla
Oregon, and had general pow-wow. The
Governor of Oregon was present and about
400 settlers and 800 Indians. General Howard
stated the object of the council to he to de-
wise means to preserve peace until the meet
of Congress. The chiefs then spoke in turn,
all except Stock expressing friendship and a
desire for peace. Gov. Chadwick, on behalf
Of the citizens throughout the State, said Gen.
Towards course would be sanctioned over
the State. Howard, then in pleasant but
firm manner, demanded of the chiefs all In
dams who had been engaged in murders and
depredations. He said he would hold them,
or some Indians to be produced by them,
as hostages until their efforts were exhausted
in ferreting out the guilty: Wl.cn found they
were to be turned over to the proper author.

| opcycd at once by the chiefs. There. is nc
doubt now of getting at the nurderers. How

culties in Washington. The best of order was
maintained during the proceedings. The re-
suit has sent feeling of satisfaction oyer the

the result.
