NUMBER 50.

During eight weeks ended Febru-
airy 4, the quantity of wheat exported
rom the seven Atlantic ports
was only 8,420,5s3 bushels, against
II l,766,5S9 bushels for the correspong.
ing weeks last year, decrease of
3,34o,956 bushels, or nearly 80 per
cent. Not only has the "visible sup
ply" swelled to 3O,089,S7 bushels,
against 30. .440,452 bushels at this time
last year, by the enormous accumula-
tlon OF wheat at the chief markets,
put the receipts at Western ports
nave declined, and in January were
only 4.SS3, ,406 bushels, against 6,755,
729 in January, 1879. The receipts at
Atlantic ports have decreased in still
larger proportion. The decline in
price has caused eoRsideral sitf-

ably ITO, 100000 to 112, 2,000, 900 bushels,
while Belgium and Holland will also
require about 1000, 900 bushels more,
and other countries in Europe except
Russia, will need supplies from With
out. On these estimates is based the
belief in continued high prices here
until the new crop comes forward.
The exports from the four chief ports
of this country and from Montreal,
from September l to January 81,
were 1885, ,291 barrels of -four and
60, ,766, 1896 bushels of wheat, against
2,097 ,620 barrels of -four and 4S, $685.
250 bushels during the corresponding
months cf the previous year, equiva-
lent to 5S,0O4, $40 bushels of wheat.
Thus the surplus for export has al
ready been exhausted to the extent
of 15,763,6 ,665 bushels more than it
had been at the corresponding date
last year, and after that date to the
end of August last year the exports
of flour and wheat from the same
ports were equivalent to Sn,764, 1852
bushels of wheat. If our surplus for
the whole crop year is 100000, 900
bushels, as the Produce Exchange
estimates, nearly one half of that
quantity has already gone forward,
and there remains but little mere
than was actually taken by foreign
countries from this date to the end of
the last crop year, although their es-
timated requirements this season are
from 23,000,000 to 25,000,00o bushels
larger.

WONDERS OF PETROLEUM. .-Sto-
WELLS Exporter" gives some statis-
tics of the petroleum business and
production last year. The amount of
crude petroleum produced was nearly
20,000,000 barrels, being 100000 bar
rels in excess of any previous years.
The shipment from the oil fields was
nearly 10000, 900 barrels, leaving as
stock on hand at the close of the year
nearly S,500,000 barrels, as against
about 100000 at the close of 1878.
Three thousand and thirty eight new
wells were drilled in 1879.

GREAT PURCHASE OF LANDS

vast deposit of Connellsville cook

Uniontown and Connellsvile, along
the lines of the Pittsburgh Division

to be one of the largest sales of coal
property ever effected in Pennsylya-

sinking of shafts and the construction

ual man stood face to face with God
the terrible Presence forever held
perpetual reckoning with his soul.
though he fled to hide in the utter.
most parts of the morning, or made

a sect, of society-he is so much a
church member, Republican, an
American, that he forgets he is
man with a soul for which no man
can answer but himself.
OF one thing he may be certain,
that there will come a time when
neither his firm nor his church nor
his country will be present for him
to hide under. Ont in that solitude
his soul Will stand alone with God

1t has been the favorite argument
of the Northern Democrats that the
South has been made solid by the
conversion of negroes to Democratic
doctrines. They admit that there is
occasionally a case of bulldozing, but
that the Democratic majorities which
have suddenly appeared in States
where the negroes outnumber the
whites have been produced largely
by negroes voting the Democratic
ticket. In plea for the adoption of
a registration law with educational
qualification, the Charleston Neacs
and Courier upsets this excuse com.
pletely. 1t says it is the "settled
purpose in South Carolina that the
intelligent and responsible citizens
shall rule, whether they are nomin-
ally the majority or not" and it is
time for the Democrats to adopt some
plan which will "avoid the horrible
strain of such elections as the last,
with their uncertainties and manifold
unpleasantnesses." There are it adds
three ways to maintain white ma
jority first, to convert a sufficient
number of negroes to the Democratic
faith; second, to suppress a part of
the negro vote and third, to restrict
the suffrage with an educational quail
ification. 1t admits frankly that the
negro cannot be converted /; that he
ic ticket at one election, but he will
have to be forced over again at the
next one. This admits the whole Re-
publican case. The NelCS and Courier
is evidently tired of rifle clubs and
tissue ballots, and the evidence it
gives of disgust with these methods
is the most hopeful sign that has
come from the South for long time.

From dark until 10 O'clock, for more

on the rock waving his lantern and
