all that were elected on the face of the

agreeing to submit all disputed points
TO the supreme court. Mr.. Hale, In his
speech said the Republicans did not
propose to run over the law rough

proposed 80 let the courts settle the
matter, aud then they would abide by
the decision. Tie Fusion LCgisla-

Markets.

Commercial: Wheat market has been
very active during this week. All that
has been offered has been readily taken
at $I.4l, and for the best quality STAG
has beeu Il standing price.
Corn took a decided rise in the mar
ket yesterday, from 90 to So cents, and
buying was quite active at the last
named figure, although tits not thought
it will remain at that price long, but
will fall during Monday evenings or
Tuesdays sales to about SO cents, and
there stand for a short while.
Oats sell readily, and are in demand
There has been during the week a
slight advance in the prices. On to-
days sales they were quoted at Az.
This price will very likely be the rul-
Eng one during the coming week.
IIay-Receipts have been very light.
All that has been offered to this market
has found ready sale. A great deal is
being stored. Very inferior hay found
~
a ready sale yesterday at $l.0O a $l.l5
There was no advance la western, on
accoun of the grade offered to this
market being very poor.
Bran has gone up Il dollar on the ton,
with moderate demand. Sales were
made yesterday at $500.
Meal during the last week went up
to G0c. per bushel for all grades. There
"a an excellent demand for this article,
and large shipments are being made by
our mills daily.
Four-Tliere was no change IN the
flour masket last week, but there are
slight Indications of Il rise during the
coming week.
Stock-An advance in stock last
week, with a good demand. Good Beef
cattle eau find Il ready market here, 2la
per pound gross. She p IN good condi-
tlon Will bring the same price. Hogs
well conditioned are selling at 90 cts
per pound, gross. 1t is possible that
there will be a still further advance on
beef but probably not for several weeks.

Gen. James A. Garfield succeeds
Thurman as Senator from Ohio. This
has been expected ever since the new
Legislature was chosen, as Garfield
stock has been high all the time. He
was nominated for the position by ac-
clamation. This shows his immense
popularity, as it is the first case ON
record where a new Senator was NOM
mated by acclamation. We should not
be surprised to see Mr. Garfield come in
as the clark horse" for Presi lent. The
party could do worse.
