for which probably there was reason, but Its
suficieucy will be questioned By the whole

opposition TO republicanism. 10 all its forms, is
undoubted. The cause assigned for the post

The Senate yesterday unanimously adopted
Mr.. Voorhees, resolution. declaring THAT it is
of the highest importance that the financial
credit of the Government be maintained. and
in order to do 50, the Government itself, in all
its departments, should 10 good faith keep ali
its contracts and obligations entered toto with
its citizsus." This resolution has been OF the
calendar for some time, and has properly
been gotten out Of the way. but what practical
good will be accomplished thereby it is difficult
to tell. Not only the General Government,
but the States ADD people thereof, certainly
ought to keep good fsith. and We hope they

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Mark Lane Express
says: Cool weather during the past week, with
intermediate showers which told unfavorably
upon the condition of the new wheat, but rot,
to serious extent, has impeded in the gather
ing of cereal CROPS in later districts. The har-
vest is now practically ended, except in Scot
land and certain northern localities. Wheat
has yielded fairly WELL as far as can be seen,
but dry weather is now desirable. The bulk of
the grain has been secured in Scotland, but
some quantity is outlying and it is considered
that although somewhat deficient in straw, the
crops are generally better than last year.
The markets are now beginning to be well
supplied with new wheat, but the damp and
sprouted state of offerings has had depress-
ing effect on trade. The pressing need of
farmers was doubtless the cause of so much in
ferior grain being thrown on the markets, but
with the present low values it is probable that
all who can afford to will withhold their pro-
duct until it is in sufficiently saleable condi-
tion.
Arrivals of floating cargoes at ports Of call
have been moderate, with very little demand
for wheat. owing chiefly to continued large
shipments from America, coupled with liberal
supplies of home grown at all our own markets.
Prices paid for arrived cargoes have shown a
decline of sixpence per quarter. Maize has
also given way about sixpence per quarter,
| with very little demand for shipment. Cargoes
from America continue to arrive in an unsatis-
| factory state. Barley dull at about late rates
