AID FOE TIE SEoRoEs.
Several prominent colored ministers Of
St. Louis and Milton Turner. ex-United States
minister to Siberis. have issued An appeal to
benevolent people everyw for means to A.
sist the colored emigrants from the South to
their destination in Kansas. 80 far the col
ored people of St. Louis have fed and shelter
ed these emigrsnts while there, and assisted
many of them to their new homes, but the tax
has become greater than they can hear, and
now ask assistance from the charitsbly dis
posed throughout the country.
POOR PROSPECTS At SALIVA.
Information is received from Salina.
Kas., that, owing to the dry warm weather,
the wheat il shooting up for jointing, while
nearly all the fields in that vicinity are for the
most part, dead or dying. The roots are dead
with few receptions, and the base of the plants
are withered, 10 that there can be little hope
of . one-third crop, even if rain should come

COMMERCIAL
sKEKLr GRAIN RxvIKW.
We are indebted to Messrs. Lynde,
Wright 4 Co, of Kansas City, for the following
reliable review of the grain trade:
wHEAr-Private cables quote spring wheat
At Liverpool one penny per ceutal lower other
wise there il no change from quotations OF
last week.
English country markets are quoted firm
and French markets quiet. The unfavorable
prospect for the coming crop in Great Britain
reported last week has not improved. Stocks
are also diminishing, dealers showing no incli-
nation to fill their warehouses ut present lo~
prices. This action is greatly owing to the
continued stringency of money markets abroad.
and the depressed condition of all branches Of
business, we'll IS partly to our large sccu-
mutation of grain in store here.
On the Continent, stocks in all importing
countries are light, and the requirements Of
these countries and Great Britain till the next
crop is harvested are placed at 100, 600 600 bus.
OF this amount America is expected to contrib
ute fully one-half.
Estimating the resources of other countries
relatively with previous years, there is no data
to prove an abundance of supply against the
anticipated demand. The weather OF the next
two weeks at home and abroad will probably
develop or indicate prices for the future of the
season.
Reports in the interest of the "bears" have
been circulated to the effect that wheat in store
1t Milwaukee and Chicago was not in good
condition. These statements, on examination,
have been proven to be incorrect.
The condition of the winter wheat in the
Middle States is favorable, and the sowing of
spring wheat throughout the northwest has
been attended with favorable conditions. Kan
sas alone is complaining of want Of rain. and
though no serious damage is yet reported to
the growing plant, two or three weeks more of
drouth would cut of one-half the expected
yield.
Values in all our home markets are scarcely
changed by q fraction from one week ago.
CoRS-ln foreign markets there is nochange,
and the cheapness Of wheat is lessening con-
sumption of corn. Another year of high prices
in breadstuffs in Great Britain would have fair
" introduced corn a. . breadstuf to the middle
and Iaboring classes. but the English have not
vet taken to il kindly for their own use. Our
exports for the week show an improvement of
100000 bushels over previous week, but liberal
receipts At all points have prevented any mate
rial reduction from visible supply Of last week.
Prices are without change.
RYE-No change in values in this cereal. Ex-
ports light, with receipts fully up to previous
week.
OArs-Eastern markets have been very quiet
and last weeks range of prices still maintains.
In our local market values have not been fully
sustained, owing to unexpected larger re-
ceipts.
