Demand for Wheat Abroad.

Without war, it is probable there will be a
good European demand for wheat-the crop
therebeing small. With war, there is no tell
ing to what figures it would rise.
Mr.. JENNINGS, the London correspondent
OF the New York Herald, writes under date
OF June s.:
"Ihis year, understand, you will have a
very tine harvest. l can only say that it will
be wanted in Europe. Russia has not much
more grain than she wants, and the yield
here will be comparatively small. Europe
must 60 across the Atlantic for what she
needs to make up her deficient supply of
food. And then recollect that it is not for
grain only that England now comes with
money in her hand to United States ports.
The sale OF American beef is simply enor-
nous considering that even when left New
York in 1876 the trade was almost, if not
quite, unknown. And now we pay some.
thing like $40. 100000 year for American
beef, and the business is constantly increas-
ing. so that for the staff and large pro-
portion OF the meat consumed, this country
must now depend very greatly on the United
states. These are the facts-draw from
them what conclusion you will. There is
one conclusion which should be disposed
to draw, namely, that this state of affairs
mustinevitably restore your long lost prosper
ity. 1t isan i'll wind that blows no one any
good. Foreign capitalmust necessarily pour
into the country, making up in large meas
ure OF the losses of the last few years, and in
using new life and energy into all dapgIl-
ment OF trade. This is as certain vs 9stIl
the sun will rise tomorrow.

WHOLESALE PRICES.

BALTIMORE CATTLE MARKET, June 24th,-BEEF
CATTLE.-Trade was quite active at the opening of
market, and continued so for some time, and pri-
ces were shade higher than they were last week,
but weaker be fore great many sales were made
when operations were effected with more difficult
ty at rates about the same as last week. Before
the close the market became quite dull, but all
the cattle were disposed Of with few exceptions,
including number left over from last week. We
quote at O0a$5 65 per 100 lbs.

If as suggested, financial commission,
similar to the one in Egypt, is organized to
put Turkeys finances in shape, its task will
not be an easy one. Turkeys foreign debt
last year was stated to be 1854, 9Os 915, Eng
land being creditor to the extent of about
5000, 100000, and her internal floating debt
was placed at $3.50, 0OO,O 900. No in yrest has
been paid since 1875. For severalbea Is be-
fore the recent war a comparison etween
the expenses and revenues Of the govern
ment showed an annual deficit of over $15,-
100000. With the expenses ola desperate
struggle with Russia weighing her down,
with the prospect Of being compelled to pay
a war indemnity confronting her, and with
curtailed dominions from which to draw her
revenues, Turkeys financial condition is des-
perate, and would seem to be hopeless. I'm
less Great Britain takes charge Of Turkey in
Asia, and by managing its financial affairs
economically enables it in time to pay what
it owes, the English creditors OF Turkey viii

The Eastern News.

The meeting Of the Congress has had the
effect of increasing the military activity of
Russia. The Notifications at Rodosto are
being pressed forward with great energy,
indicating determination to gain firm
hold on Bulgaria, if need be, against all adj
versaries. Fifteen thousand Russians have
arrived at San Stefano from Odessa, and
troops are also being concentrated at Shum-
la and Varna. A special messenger has
gone from Berlin to report to the CT the
proeres making in the negotiations before
the Congress, which are affirmed to be TAX
ing an unexpected turn, owing to the appa-
rent understanding between Austria and
England, rendering necessary further con-
cessioas on the part of Russia. The Russian
representatives have in vain commended that
there is a limit to concession, beyond which
Russia cannot 60 without offending the ma
tional feeling of its people, who demand
some return for the sacrifices made of blood
and treasure.
TO the Russians much dissatisfaction has
resulted from the Congress, and they are
not as yet prepared to yield the heart of the
fruit purchased at such fearful cost, as has
been demanded Of them. The establishment
of the Anglo-Austrian understanding"
which she has so vigorously striven to pre-
vent, and the hint that further con cessions
may yet be demanded of her, cannot but ex-
asperate State which has already begun
to rcproach herself, and to be reproached by
iler own people, with having yielded too
much at the first. The inevitable conse-
quences of these complications are to be
seen in the sinister rumors which come thick
and fast flom the SOUTH Rodosto fortified,
Russian troops concentrating at Adrianople,
Gen. Skobeleff surveying a site for an in
trenched camp, $1,000 Russians sent from
Odessa to San Stefano-these are symptoms
which, if truly reported, bear an ominous
significance. It is true that this display of
force may be intended merely to add weight
to the smooth utterances Of Russian diplo-
macy but the renewed activity of the Gre
tan insurgents on the one hand, together with
Austra's fresh leyies and Roumanias order

GENTLY show what construction is put upon

Shenandoah Valley Railroad.

There seems to be no doubt that work on
lively prosecuted, and the improvement
completed to its intersection with the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Railroad within three
years. The contractors have leased rooms
in Charlestown for headquarters and adyer-
tised to pay cash for $4,000 ties, to be deliv-
cred at certain points CT the road now
graded. The iron has been engaged for the
fifty miles now graded, and all the prelimi-
nary steps taken 10 go on with the enter
prise in earnest. The contractors, Messrs.
Satterlee &c Co., are men of large experience
and means, and the reputation they sustain
would forbid any mere pretense in the mat
ter. Information from private sources as
sures us that the management OF the Com
pany are entirely confident in the present
arrangements and the earnest purpose to
push the work forward as rapidly as men
and money can do it.
We learn that it will be the policy of the
Company to locate the road as near the South
mountain range as practicable, with a view
to the development of the great mineral
wealth OF that region. The survey and prob
able location of the road east of Waynesboro.
as stated by the Tribune of that place, would
indicate that this is to be the policy of the
Company, and that while looking to a con-
hection with the net work of railroads in the
South, it will not be Indifferent to local ad-
vantages to be derived from the develop
ment of the country along the line. The
immense deposits of manganese, now an
important article of foreign demand, and
the various kinds of iron ores which have
already been discovered in the South noun
tain range, would constitute an important
item OF local freight, while the rich agrlcul-
tural section it would traverse, now deprived
of speedy market facilities, would augment
the business Of the road to an extent that
would be literally remunerative.
There are many advantages to be con-
sidered in connection with the route above
indicated, and there are also equally impor-
tant considerations to be estimated in the
route to Staunton. The gentlemen who
have the control of the road and constitute
the Company, are, however, experienced
business men, and will doubtless look to the
permanent good OF the road in its location.
Wherever it may go, Staunton must be more
or less benefited, for the development of
any portion of the county will contribute
to the trade of this centre, where the bust
ness enterprise offers advantages to be found
no where else in Virginia.

California Politics.

The result of the recent election in Cali
fornia for delegates toa State Constitutions
Convention, was somewhat of a revol ution.
There were four parties, nominally, in the
field the Kearnevites, the non-pal TITAN,
Republican and Democrat. The Kearney-
lite and non-partizsn tickets were substan-
tally the same-the workingmen's ticket.
Kearney was President of the Workingmen's
League, but his extreme views and palpable
communism, caused him to be deposed. He
then organized a party of his own which
took the name of Kearncyites. The more
conservative branch of the party was known
as the non-partizans. The complexion of
the convention. it is estimated, will be 63
Kearneyites, 36 non-partizan, 10 Republic
can and Democrats. This does not in
clude the 30 delegates at large, majority
OF whom, it is thought, have been elected by
the workingmcn. They will undoubtedly
control the convention. Kearney is a violent
and extreme man, a real anarchist The
New York Times says of him:
This insolent ruffian has been permitted
to advocate murder, and the objects of his
wrath have been specially mentioned by
name. The destruction or deportation of
the Chinese, the eight-hour law. mainte-
nance OF the poor by State appropriations,
prohibition of convict labor, repeal of char
tiers of corporations. unlimited issue of Gov
eminent currency,and other things contain
ed in the Kearneyite platform, are compar-
atively harmless heresies. But the men of
Kearney's kidney do not hesitate to declare
that confiscation, incendiarism, and murder
will figure in their programme if they ever
get the upper hand of society. OF course,
much Of this talk is mere buster. But that
it has been permitted is passing strange.
The men who have clustered and threaten
ed have very nearly come into power in
constitutional Convention. The outcome of
their deiberation will be looked for with
lively interest.

The Worklngmen's Cause.

The success of the Workingmen's Ticket.
in California, is an event of more than ordi-
nary interest, particularly SO, as it gives to
that class OF citizens the control of a Con-
vention to remodel the State Constitution
We do not think the party should be Judged
by the wild and sinsane boasts of the man
Kearney, who, whatever his real merits, in
his extreme views about the purposes to be
effected, is but little better than a lunatic.
There are conservative restraints in the
very organization OF society, which would
very soon put veto upon the wild sugges-
tons OF this man. The success OF the Work.
ingmen is simply to be regarded as very
significant protest against the domination
and despotism of rings and corporations,
for this kind OF influence has been probably
more prevalent. exacting and defiant in Cal
ifornia than any other State in the Union.
We regard it as very essential to the we'll
being of society, and certainly in the inter-
est of good government and Republican in
stitutions, that the People should manifest
an interest in public affairs and challenge
the right of the professional politicians and
ring managers to control legislation and
government in the interests of corporate
and special legislation. And if this concern
should manifest itself under the form of
Workingmen's Party, we can see no serious
objection to it, for no more honorable desig-
nation could be employed. The working
men of America have too long contented
themselves with the exclusive pursuit of their
ayocations, leaving legislation and govern
tai affairs to be directed by political schemers
and professional men, who cannot feel a suf1i.
Gent interest in the concerns of labor. What
is to be guarded against is excess, in any
form, and this is to be apprehended from the
accession to power, or in the struggle for
power, through the forms OF law. of those
not educated to the duties of legislation.
There are men, however, who are capable
of being safe leaders, and directing the eff
forts of the workingmen to conservative
and Legitimate. ends, to be found in the
trades, on the farm, and the other avenues
OF physical enterprise, and these should be
called to the front to give tone and morale to
any organization, or formulation of tenets,
which may be deemed necessary.
The indications all over the country point
to general protest of the People against the
Professional Politicians and Ring managers,
and especially the despotism of caucus ma
chinery, by which so much corrupt and mis-
chievous legislation is consummated. And
this protest is the workingmen's cause, in
whatever form it may come, and being such,
we wish it God speed.
