Press consments on corneips Nomination.
New YORK, Sept. 4.-The Times, not
attempting to conceal its chagrin over
CornelIs nomination, says, now that the
convention has spoken its verdict it will
accepted by all who participated in it as
the voice of the party. The good quail
ties of the nominees may be chiefly neg
atiye, but there are at least no points of
positive badness about any OF them. It
says: Though all are trained politicians,
we know no accusation of corruption or
taint of peculation which can be alleged
IN regard to any one of the number.
The Times shows that Conklings
power has waned since the last presiden-
tial convention, notwithstanding the sue
cess of yesterday. It estimates the anti
machine republicans have gained 33 per
cent. within the past three years, meas
ured by votes in the convention.
The Tribune complacently accepts the
result with an IT told you son air, and
says Cornell has never up to this cam
paign been its choice for any Office, and

CUES that it would have been vain to at
tempt to stem the rural opposition, and
his popularity is steadily increasing.
He is not an inspiring candidate but will
prove good one. He is as old, as tried,
and as true republican as any of his
opponents. He is a better organizer
than any of them, has more experience
an executive sort than any of them,
those who suppose from the tempor-
ary pother raised in this city, that the
son of Ezra Cornell is going to prove I'M
popular in New York, will find their mis-
take on election day.

The Foreign Demand for Wheat
| Nz,- vopxy Cart IN TLa Tt,,oo soro
Unless there is gross exaggerations in the
estimates of the Paris Bulletin de Sholies
the purchases of foreign wheat for the
harvest year viii be on scale without
precedent during any year of peace. An
estimated difference of some $4,000 900
bushels, to be supplied almost exclusively
by this country, involves an almost in-
credible advance on the $500 900 bushels
exported to France 1877-7S, even assum-
ing that as much more was sent by way
of England. During the last fiscal year
the exports of wheat and wheat -four from
the United States reached total equiva-
lent of 100000, 900 bushels. About three
fourths of that quantity found its way to
Great Britain and her colonial possess
ions. For the current fiscal year our
wheat exports can hardly fail to reach
200,000,O00 bushels, with a proportional
increase on other descriptions of bread
stuffs.
