WASHINGTON, September 24.-The Treas.
ury Department purchased to-day 2O2, 900
ounces Of silver bullion for delivery at
Philadelphia and San Francisco mints.
During the first l2 weeks Of the current
fiscal year, embracing the period from July
l to September 20 the imports Of specie
at New York exceeded the exports by
S25, ,S06,3l4. The Treasury Department
has received an unusual demand for one
cent'bronze pieces, and as soon as posi-.
BILE the Philadelphia mint will turn out a
sufficient ntnumber Of them to fll many OF
the orders received.
The Treasury Department is in receipt
Of letters from the West complaining Of
the scarcity OF notes of small ,denomina.
tons, and asking that q supply OF such
notes be sent to the several sub Treasures
with directions TO pay them out In ex-
change for notes OF large denominations.
The Assistant Treasurers with their limit
ed clerical force cannot undertake 10 ex-
change one denomination OF notes for
another; but the Treasurer Of the United
States will furnish new notes OF such
denominations as may be desired in returd
for bank drafts In New York, and will
transmit them as the applicant may indi.
cate, but without risk or expense to the
government. -

Chandler will be at Bellaire on Friday, to
take hand fn the meeting. We learn
that a letter to this effect has been receiv-

we mention 1t as It comes to US. There Is
no need for any additional boom at Bell.

add fuel to the flame that is already burn
ing SO high. The meeting promises to be
enormous enough without proclaiming
any additional inducements. As the boys
express it, 1t will lay over any meeting
seen in this partof the country since the

good seats will be reserved for the Demo

blaine to get good chance at them.

As was natural to expect, after such q
large and continuous rise as had taken
place in wheat, break occurred yester.
day, and the price went down several cents
per bushel. tell in Baltimore from 81 80
to 81 24 and fraction, and at Chicago
the fall was even greater. At one time
in the day the market was in panicky
condition, and serious trouble seemed
imminent, Private advices, however, from
Baltimore to house here in the trade, ex-
presses the opinion that wheat is now
sat'4 to hold for an upward reaction.
The Cincinnati Gazette Of yesterday, in
speaking Of the advance in wheat, says:
IAN advance oftwenty centsi in two weeks,
with several hundreds Of millions OF
bushels still in the country, is a somewhat
phenomenal rise. 1t is probably too
rapid to be fully maintained, but there is
no likelihood Of farmers having to sell
henceforth for less than ST."
