LONDON, January 1.-The Mark Lane
Erprsss review OF the corn trade for the
past week says: 1.-The appearance OF
the young whest plant is satisfactory, in
spite 1.-THE termination Of the grain
being slow. owing to the saturated con-
dition OF the soil. The weather has

vor. The imports Of foreign wheat into
London has been more moderate, las
Mondays return showing a total OF only
forty-eight thousand quarters, the de-
crease being due TO the falling of in ar
rivals Of Indian produce, and the closing
up OF the north Russian ports. The
most noticeable feature OF the week has
been the revival Of the demand tor wheat
from country millers, who have pur-
chased more freely at the extreme prices
Of the previous week, and ON Friday at
an advance Of from sixpence TO one
shilling per quarter. A steady and con-
unual demand Is also observable, as ex-
ports continue at Tie rate Of eight TO
nine thousand quarters per week, and q
tair outward movement invariably exer>
cises hardening effect on prices. The
stocks OF wheat in London
are considerable. but consist
mainly OF Calcutta, and other
hard varieties. The price of American,
and such descriptions as are valued for
their flour producing property, have
been in no wise depressed. The increas,
ed country demands are the natural re-
suits OF the wants Of the country after a
deficient harvest, and it is not unreason-
able to look for hardening OF prices now
that there IS likely to be diminutIon in
the scale Of imports, numerous arrivals
OF maize cargoes at ports OF call, and
there are more sellers than buyers; but
twenty and thirty shillings have been
paid for mixed American spot. The
trade tor this article has been steady, and
last weeks prices well maintained. The
arrivals of wheat cargoes at ports of call
have been 30 moderate, and the demand
20 steady. that prices have been we'll
supported and barely steady, while
maize. under pressure of large arrivals,
has ruled In favor Of buyers.

There have been many Sensational
reports about the klamath indians ant
their allie ,ed hostile disposition. As
surances received through several sourc
es all contradict these reports. The
agent, writing on the Gath ul,., states
positively that the Indians are quiet
well>disposed and manifest no hostile
intentions. 70 the editor of the Ash
land T1dings we are indebted for copy
of this letter, together with statements
from the chiefs on the reservation
which evince the most pacific DISPOSE
tion. We give the following extrac,
from the agents letter:
There was general gathering ut the
agency on the 23i of the chiefs upon
the reservation. Among other things
considered was the Indian war now in
progress to the east of Us. and results
which might grow ont Of 1t affecting
the reservation. They were all OF one
miud--they don't want war. and that
there need be no fear of any trouble
ON their part. They go farther than
this and say if the hostile Indians come
this way they will aid the whites against
them. One of them tSconchin, chiet
of the Modocs. some of whose people
went off during the Modoc war. and
whose brother was hanged for the mur-
der Of General Candy and others) says
that it was all right that he was hanged.
So far as this people is concerned, we
feel as safe here as elsewhere. It does
seem to me that a people who stood
firm when war was in their midst,
few years ego. ought to be trusted when
those who are making war are distart
and not their kinsmen.
We have heretofore spoken of the
dispatch sent to Gen. Mcdowell by
Gov. Chadwick in relation to calling
out volunteers. Following is Mellow
ellis reply:
SAN FRANcIsCo, June %. 1878.
To Gov. CHADwICK:--Iour telegram

under the immediate orders of Gen
howard, who certainly will not with
draw them as long as the Indians in
the vicirity of the post are as hostile a.

issued only on your requisitioE to
the Secretary of War. as directed by
joint resolution of Congress. approved
June s, 1878. General Howard does
not ask for volunteers. If called
out by you, the secretary. in respect to
them states in telegram of June l4th,
as follows: There is no authority in
law to accept services of volunteers. If
the Governor orders volunteers on his
own responsibility. they may cooperate
with regular force. and IN great emer-
-ency may be furnished supplies abso-
tely necessary, but no assurance can
given of military service by volun>

oftentimes the attached draft is
sold in New York for more than
its face value. Already over
10000 barrels have been thus
shipped from Minnesota, and
many mills expect soon to be
