European Grain Trade.

LONDON, Feb. IL. The Mark Lane
Express says: Supplies of English
wheat have been very limited, both in
the country and Mark Lane. At no
corresponding period within the past
ten years have sales at the principal
markets been so light as those for the
week ending February I'd. Imports of
foreign wheat into London were mate
rally increased by arrivals from Pevel,
shipments from that port not having
been interrupted by ice up to January
81. Germany has also furnished a
fair proportion of the supplies but In.
dian arrivals have decreased some.
Wheat has shown signs Of tagging
since the market was we'll supplied
with American and Russian. An i'm
portant movement, as regards the grain
trade, is the raising of the blockade and
the reopening of the Black Sea ports.
If recent advices are to be credited, the
accumulation of grain in Odessa, alone
amounts to something like 100000
while at Nicolaietf the stocks are said
to exceed $4,000 quarters, SO that
should America and Germany continue
to export freely, our imports during the
spring will probably be very heavy.
There is no doubt that considerable
proportion of the grain accumulated in
Southern Russian ports consists of
maize, but Of whatever description,
there is no doubt that holders are most
anxious to get it off their hands, as it is
calculated that the loss to commerce in
Odessa alone by the blockade of the
Black Sea bas been 7O,O00,00O to 80,-
100000 roubles. With such large
foreign supplies in perspective, it can
hardly be wondered at that prices are
weaker, and apart from political infu-
ences, as far as can be seen, appearance
cs seem to point to an ultimate if not
immediate decline. Prices will proba-
bly, not vary much for some weeks, for
millers, who as rule are holding little
or no stock, will have to supply their
wants, as they have been dong of late,
ana at about the same currencies, as
depressed values must follow actual ar
rivals and not anticipated shipments.
The requirements of the country must
inevitably be large between this time
and next harvest, as the aome crop of
1877 was unusually deficient, and the
stocks Of English grain in fal mers
hands have undergone considerable de-
pletion. The revival in the country
of demand should take place shortly,
as 1t is now some weeks since country
millers bsught with freedom. The
floating cargo trade for wheat opened
quiet, but towards the close of the
week prices improved 6 pence per
quarter, owing to the political excite
nent.

PREPARATIONS for the Papal Con-
clave, at Rome, arc progressing rapidly.
and by the time Cardinal McCloskey
and those Cardinals farthest from the
seat OF action, can arrive all will be in
readiness for the baIloting to proceed.
But the college has no small task be-
fore it, and may be as long 10 selecting
a Pope, as Massacl usetts and Wiscon
SIN Legislatures in choosing Senators;
several eminent members of the con-
cla7e are candidates; the most notable
being Cardinals Bilio Di Pletro Sac
conl, Lucu, Pecci, Guidi, Morichini,
Beradi, Franchi and Antonucci. But
Pius lA's own preference was Cardinal
Paneblanco, white bearded, sour and
s'lf-torturlng franciscan, who is, how
ever, out of favor with his brethren.
and can hardly receive any recognition,
at least in the opening balloting.

The END OF TURKEY.-LoNDon
Feb. 14.-As Russia's intention nf
occupying Constantinople has also beea
officially announced, in case of the ar
rival of the British fleet, there is every
probability that to-day or tom orrox
will witness the total extinction of the
Turkish empire in Europe. The Sui
tan has declared that, on the entry of
the Russians, he will proceed at once
to Broussa, in Asia Minor, and, should
he do so, there is little likelihood of his
future return.

east from Hatteras. encountered ter
rife gale lasting seventy hours, which
washed everything movable from the
decks. Used our last provisions on
the morning of January %. On the
night of the Gath, during heavy gale,
sprung aleak. On the 9th three Of
the crew gave out, leaving only four to
manage the vessel and pumps, and we
were fast becoming exhausted On
the 5Oth, George Leaman, colored, who
had become crazy, attempted to ia e

instantly killed by the latter, who,
during the afternoon, ate portion Of
his dead body. On the 3lst we were

Before leaving the schooner the crew
became so crazed with hunger that it
was suggested they would be obliged to
cast lots for one Of the number to furn

eight days nothing passed their lips
except fresh water and tobacco. which
appeased their hunger only slightly
tiually, one Of the sailors was killed,
in quarrel, when his oody was cut

board, and the limbs were salted down
for food. From the thigh, steaks were
cut almost before the flesh was cold,
and broiled. These were eaten with
relish by the starving men. The crew

DEATH OF HON. GIDEON WELLEs

DEATH OF Hon. GIDEON WELLEs.
The venerable Secretary of the Navy
under President Lincoln's Administra-
tion, Hon. Gideon Welles. has passed
from life and joined the many patriotic
co-laborers of the war era who have
dropped by the way from time to time.
His death occurred in Hartford, Conn.,:
after an illness Of two weeks from an
abscess. Mr.. Welles was born where
he died, in Hartford, in 1902, and
consequently, at the time of his demise,
was rs years of age. His first public
position was as a member of the Con
nectcut Legislature in 1921. Leading
an active political life for number of
years after, he was appointed Chief of
Bureaus of the Navy Department in
1916. Up to that time, and some time
later, he was a Democrat, but split
with his party on the slavery question,
and subsequently affiliated with the
Republicans. In 1861 he received his
appointment to the Secretaryship of
the Navy from President Lincoln, and
was retained to the close Of the John
son Administration.

CHICAGo's TROUBLESOME DEBT
CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-As result OF
the recent State Supreme Court de-
cision that taxes cannot be anticipated
by the city authorities by mears of
temporary loans, bonds or certificates,
every department ofthis city is serious
ly embarrassed and new complications
appear every day. No feasible way
out of the trouble has yet been suggest
ed, either by the Mayor, Common
Council or by the other city officials.
Whether any means of paying the out
standing Indebtedness without viola.
ton of the law as interpreted by the
court, can be found is doubtful, but
that question is at present a less i'm
portant one than that which is being
asked every hour and without a salts.
factory answer: "How can money be
procured to keep up the various de-
partments of the city" An extra
session of the State legislature is sug-
gested and legislation by it, which will
allow reasonable amount of loans in
anticipation of the collection of taxes
already levied. Other cities in the
State will find similar trouble in the
future unless the constitution is amend
ed.
