The dispatches received from the South show

WAsHINGToN Sept. 12.-Ex-Senator Abbott, OF
North Carolina. describes the political situation in
that State as follows: Governor Vance, who was
the regular Democratic nominee at the last Sena-
toral election, and was defeated by fusion of the
Republican members with about seventeen INDIE
pendents in favor of Mr.. Merrmon, is again in the
field with good prospect of being elected to the
United States Senate. The positions, however, are
reversed. Mr.. Merrimon is the regular nominee
and Mr.. Vance the Independent. Should the latter
secure the united Republican support, he will need
only sixteen votes from the Democrats to win the
fight. Mr.. Abbott says the opposition to Mr. Merri-
mon grows out of the fact that when ne was
elected six wears ago, by the aid of Republican
votes, he made the Republicans many promises OF
recognition, ali of which he has since broken, In
regard to the Congressional election Mr. Abbott
believes that there is a fair prospect of returning
four Liberals or Independents.

The Demand for Wheat.

To the surprise of dealers in bread
stuffs in this country, the demand fer
wheat in Europe is greater aud at bet
ter prices than during the war Since
the acceptance of the Berlin treaty the
export Of American wheat has bee,,
largely on the increase. The demand
1t appears, arises from short crops and
from causes that are likely to happen
any season on the continent. The n.
\. Journal Of Commerce., always good
aut .ority on such matters, says:
The unfavorable weather, more than
the withdrawal Of any number of Rus
slams from the field during the late
conflict, is the cause Of the scanty sup
ply abroad. Not long ago American
speculators were reckoning on the con
tingency of q general European war as
the only thing that would make Q for
eign market for our enoi nous wheat
crops. After all. it is Europe at peace,
that buys the most of our various pro-
ducts. and is best able to pay for them.
For steady and profitable customer.

always fighting.
With the assurance Of such market
for our produce, and every reason why
Europe must nay for them in coin, the
end OF hard times should not be so very
far of after all. for whatever benefits
the farmer must help other trades as
well.-Astoridn.
