ri.E GRAIN BLOCKADE.

The syndicate Holding Their Prices
l Expecting European Demand.
( ,NEw YoRK, January 29.-The breadstuffs
market for the past twenty.four hours has
been feverish and unsettled, the closing
prices yesterday for wheat being l! to 2
cents higher than on Tuesday. Flour, 10
to 10 cents per barrel higher Corn and
oats u cents higher. A feature OF yester.
days business was the total sales OF about
10000 bushels Of wheat for export. At
present there are S. steamers, 9S ships,
ASA barks and 90 brigs in this port, which
Is the largest tleet OF vessels ever known
to be In this harbor at any one time, max.
ing an aggregate tonnage exclusive OF
steamers, Of 10000 tons. Shipping in
terests are suffering more than any other,
not because breadstutfs are too high, but
because OF the lack OF export demand.
Shippers have reduced their rates 10 the
lowest point ever known, and II Is impos.
sible even for regular lines Of steamers 10
get cargoes sufficient for ballast.
Grain merchants ridicule the magnani.
nifty Of ship owners, and say II there was
a sharp export demand, rates would be
again increased TO figures which might
Justly be complained Of by merchants. II
Is believed that the markets will become
firm and steady in q few days, and then
export demand will be increased. The
actual export, from several Atlantic ports,
Montreal, Boston, New York, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New Orleans last week,
was: Wheat $50. .005 bushels to the United
Kingdom and 4S6. .3si bushels to the Con.
tinent; corn, COS, ,977 bushels to the United
Kingdom and 7IS, l92 bushels to the Cont.
nent. High prices have had the effect Of
drawing large quantities Of wheat out Of
farmers hands and transferring It to ware
houses and elevators, thus giving large
visible supply. This is held in large
amounts by what Is known as the Syndi.
cate, and 1t is claimed they will continue
TO hold 1t until called for export, which
they know must be the case in due time,
and hence will keep up present prices.

The Bulls and Bears Tear and Scratch
at a Great Rate.

I
NEw YORK, January 29.-The Stool
Exchange IN the early hours was the scent
Of great excitement, the subject Of 1t beint
Central Pacific stock. Yesterday notice wa
given by the Committee Of the Syndicate
which bought $1,000 shares Of Central Pa
cifc stock with the privilege Of 50,0Ot
more, that the same would be publicly
sold in the ordinary way at the opening
OF the Stock Exchange this morning. The
Ertning Poa says the Syndicate employed
FIVE brokers, giving each an order TO sell
10000 shares on scale OF fractions rang
ing from eighty up to eighty.fye. Ai
soon as the hammer Of the presiding Off,
Ger dropped at 10 o'clock and business
was formally opened, there was such a
rush in the Central Pacific crowd as might
have led spectators 10 believe that some.
one in the crowd was throwing about five
carat diamonds by the handful. The
brokers had their coats torn and were in
danger Of having their bones broken. In
fact, the tumult was extraordinary even
for the Stock Exchange, where excitement
Is the rule. The first sale was at SIT.
There was then rapid advance 10 s7i.
Inside OF the first fifteen minutes this was
followed by decline to s4!, and at 1920,
with preferred at IS, the Ave brokers had
each executed bis orders and the $1,000
shares had been disposed Of.
The committee had refused private bids
for large amount OF stock, and as one OF
the purposes Of the sale by Mr.. Hunting
ton was 10 popularize the stock In this
market, ii was thought the best way to
put everyone seeking to buy on the same
looting, therefore the stock was put openly
on the market. The crowd which surged
around the sellers, was so thick and 80
eager, that the pressure was really dan
gerous. One mau was observed with bis
collar ripped of. The wild confusion
which prevailed, has rarely been equalled
in the stormy annals Of exchange. The
average price was 81 cents aud a fraction.
The Syndicate would have been content,
it is understood, ifan average OF 81 had
been obtained. The whole transaction Is
unique in the history OF the stock market,
and Its successful result is the general topic
OF conversations in Wall street.

clubs was referred TO committee yester.
day, despite the opposition Of Lepere,
Minister OF the Interior, BY q coalition ol

The Chamber OF Deputies adopted, by q

relating to public meetings, supported by
the government in favor OF the suppress

Farther In Regard 10 ,he Case OF Rey. Or
mnnd, formerly of West Alexander,

mand, formerly of West Alexander,
We have published two or three arti-
cles inregard to the singular case!of Rev.
Marcus 0rmand, formerly minister oil
West Alexander, who, after spell of sick
ness lost his education, although retaining
generally his mental powSs. A relative
OF Mr.. Ormand, communicates the follow
ing facts to the New York Tribune, in re-
gard to his singular case:
"IIe retains his mental balance, and Is
in the strictest sense sane. and rational
His perceptive faculties are sound and dis
eliminating. He sees things in'their nat
ural relations, and draws correct conclus-
ions from the data OF observation. In oil
practical matters his shrewdness and dis
crimation have not been diminished. His
faculty OF judging Is also in natural con-
dition. He is naturally bold and adven-
turous, and his atliction has somewhat in
tensihed his trait, so that his actions some
times border on fashness, but observation
has led me TO the conclusion that this Is
due not to any lack Of judgment, but to
detective memory.
One remark Is true ofmy uncles mental
condition III general. Having lost his
education, and with 1T to'a great degree
the power that Is acquired through the
discipline OF study, the range Of his mental
| operations has been cOrrespondingly
\ Limited. The sphere OF scholarship is a
closed book to him. But il would be q
mistake 10 imagine that on that account
his mind is.in q condition similar to wha!
It would have been had II never received
any cultivation. Suppose for illustration,
4 thata traveller Is standing on the summit
I.bf Mount Washington on clear day. A
magnificent scene is spread out before his
ewes. Let dark cloud suddenly come
between the traveller, and the beautiful
scenery below, obscuring every thing but
the large outlines fthe principal objects
The vision has faded away but the
stand point Of the observer continues un'
changed.
Morally he is unchanged. Hepossesses
The same feeling Of personal responsibility
the same degree OF conscientiousness, the
same religious sentiments audi convictions
that constituted his moral and spiritual
character before his illness. His love and
Isolicitule for his family are undlminished
He Ia full OF hope and courage in looking
forward to the time@hen his mind shall
regain lis lost treasures aud he shall be
enabled to resume his ministerial duties
Naturally my uncle has great deal o.
nersonal force. He has strong will ioi
execution, but his selt.control Is all ac
ouIred power. His atlliction ss, ept away
the acquired power, but left the native
one nnabated. When he awoke from his
colnatose condition he had lost all com
kmsnd over bis temper. He would fly iutf
, n passion on tho slightest proyocation
, and when aroused could not restrain him
self from violence. At present, however,
he has largely regained his selt'command
His executive force, however, was un
} affected by the shock When his physl
:. clans prescribed a severe regime Of physi
n cal exercise aud abstinence from food, hi
had will enough to adhere to tho latter.
