manufacturing sitea nor In regions where

or other natural supply, where it shall be fol

controlled by any individuals, nor to lands re.

at the session of the Society of the
Army Of the Cumberland Of Washington Nov
~, Gen. Sherman read letters from Mrs. E. B.
Anderson and her daughter, Eva, denying
charges Of disloyality against Gov Robert
Anderson and asking the society to take some
action on the matter. Gen. Sherman then
offered the following resolution and 1t was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved: That the heartfelt sympathy OF
the Society Of the Army of tho Cumberland il
hereby rendered to tho widow and daughter
OF the first commander Of the Army Of the
Cumberland; that the society will ever bear
In honorable memory his pure and noble
character and his hcroi: devotion to his
country, and that they ever regret his health
in 1881 prevented him from reaping the fruits
OF his valor aud courage ii the cause of the
Union, and it will ever be remembered that
the Army Of the Cumberland owes !. great
debt for the leadership of Gen. Anderson. and
that nothing but poverty prevents them from
erecting suitable testimonial over his hon.
orcd grave at West Point Gen JEFF C. Davis
paid tribute to tho patriotism and loyalty Of
Gen. Anderson. Nobody who had ever seen
that soldier at Fort Sumter wonld question
his loyalty. Columbia made no mistake
when she had cent down Robert Anderson
ITO let slip tho dogs Of war;" (Cheers)
The Mark Lane Erpress Of Nov. 10,
says: Except in a few cases tic harvest is now
secured In England. In the Scotch uplauds
cereal crops are still being harvested, mostly
In an uuripe state. The Scotch harvest, how
ever, will probably be terminated in q week
or ten days. The farmers generally avail
themselves Of the favorable weather for field
operations. The recent uncontradicted esti-
mate OF this years crop shows that it will
be necessary to import 16,000.0UO
quarters of foreign wheat Doubtless
with every allowance for possible exag-
gerations tho crop is desperately bad
The Mark Lane and country markets have
been dull with liberal arrivals from abroad
Prices have fallen shilling for all descrip-
tons Of wheat There was not much pressure
to sell, but tho enormous visible supply In
America and the uncertainty as to the actual
extent OF the surplus available for export
thencecaused Il pretty general abstention Of
buyers Until something more definite is
known trade must feel Its way cautiously. In
certain quarters strong opinion prevails that
wheat will prove remunerative even, at pres
ent prices Doubtless adcchne OF few shillings
will bring q number Of speculative juyers
The arrivals ut ports of call have been large
Early In the week wheat of coast declined
81 shiIlings for red winter for the ccs,inent,
but subsequently prices rallied six pence TO
shilling per quarter. Maize is in fair inquiry.
principally on the continent, Barley rcceded
six pence TO chilling per quarter. Sales O:
British wheat last week amounted to 3a625
quarters at 4ss ai per quarter against 81, 40
quarters at 40s I'd per quarter the same week
last year. Imports into the United Kingdom
for week ending Nov. &, *86480 hundred
weights wheat, 234, ,89l hundred weights -four.

sary for the work Of taking the census, and
