THE San Francisco mint is coming
small gold pieces to supply the demand.
The Philadelphia mint is at work prin-
cipally on silver dollars. It is expected
the treasury will be able to purchase
sufficient silver for delivery at San Fran
cisco to enable that mint to relieve Phil
adelphia of the dollar coinage. The lat
ter mint will then work on small gold
pieces. etre- .,r re
A COURIER with dispatches from Gen.
Merritt's camp on White river reports
that Gen. Chas. Adams, peace commits
siOner, came into Merritt's camp on the
morning of Oct. oath with the women
and children of the Meeker and Price
families. The captives were not harmed
and had not been subjected to any in
suit or injury. The Indians desire peace
and claim to have been forced into the
outbreak. The terms of surrender have
been forwarded to Washington.
THE statistician of the produce ex-
change, after careful estimate from
authoritative reports, places the wheat
crop of the United States for 1879 at
about 425,OOO,OOO bushels. The spring
wheat crop will not be so large as was
first expected, that of Minnesota being
no more than 100000 bushels, instead
of 100000, as estimated early in the
season. The amount consumed by 49,
100000 persons, plus amount required
for seed and other purposes, is placed at
250,OO0,OO0: for export, 100000 BUSH
els for Europe and 100000 for other
parts.
The Kansas Freedmen's relief assO-
citation has issued an appeal for further
aid for the colored emigrants settling in
that state. Their address states that
the immigration has not ceased, but
continues, and it is sure to increase in
dimensions next spring. Some of those
already there will need help during Ethe
winter, and the new corners generally

governor of the state. or to C. E. Wheel

ka, Kansas. In the receipts of cash con-
tributions from April 20, last spring, to
October 10, Michigan is credited with

Two very important cases pending in
the U. S. Supreme Court, involve the con-
stitutiOnality of the law authorizing Su-
peryisOrs of Elections to inspect the bal
loting and the counting of ballots at
elections for members of Congress. One
of the cases comes from Cincinnati, and
the other from Baltimore. Both are pc
culiarly political cases, and are brought
to the Supreme Court by the Democrats.
with the hope of securing,a decision that
will take away supervisors and other in
spectors from the polls. They are at
tempting through the courts to secure
what they failed to accomplish at the
last session of Congress. They could
not procure the repeal of the law, and
now they are trying to get the Supreme
Court to declare it unconstitutional.
The London Times, speaking of the
trade revival in Great Britain, says:
The iron industry led the way and the
revival is now spreading to the textile
fabrics, among which our chief interests
center. In cotton, Messrs. Ellison & Co.
Liverpool, estimate the probably availa-
able supplies for imports to Europe from
all sources at 5,235, 600 bales, against A.
$4,000 bales in 1879. The estimate
places the total supply of American at
100000 bales, of which 100000 bales
will be for Europe They conclude that
should these estimates be realized there
will be enough cotton to allow of in
creased deliveries to the point touched
in 1878, but no more. That the con-
sumption of 1879 so will exceed that of
1879 is scarcely doubtful. Beyond
that point, they cannot pretend to fore
cast the course of trade, but in the alb
sence of any new financial or political
disturbance, it is only reasonable to .ex-
pect higher average of prices than
those of last season. a. =
