ENGLISH GRAIN.

DEPREoIATING PRICES AND DULL BUSINESS.
LONDON, Jan. 27.-The Mark Lane Er-
press in its review of the British grain trade
for the past two weeks, says: All out door
work is again stopped by frost. Threshing
occupies the attention of the farmers and
home grown wheat is consequently more lib
orally offered in some districts, notably
Yorkshire. Fears are expressed that recent
ly sown wheat has been frosted or from some
other canse is deficient in vitality. Many Of
the early sown fields elsewhere, however, are
looking we'll. Some improvement is no.
ticeable in the condition Of home grown
wheat offered at country markets, but all
except tie choicest lots have been neglected..
Imports of foreign wheat into London
have been moderate, and in the American
especially small business has been done,
and the weeks demand was of the ordinary
consump!iqe character, principally for de-
scriptious of foreign wheat available as
substitute for English. According TO
moderate compensation it is estimated that
the requirements of Great Britain and
France will reach 100000 quarters be-
tween this and August, exclusive of the
quantity aflcat. Notwithstanding this trade
continues discouraging to holders as con-
sequence of the liberal stocks to select from,
and bad demand for our millers have shown
no desire to do more than meet the present
requirements.
It seems scarcely likely any marked rise
can be expected before May or June. I'm
der any circumstances it will be necessary
for the American ring to hold over stocks
some time longer.
Arrival at ports of call have been small.
The demand for wheat has been quiet and
somewhat irregular at o decline of shil-
ling to two shillings per quarter. Maize,
Notwithstanding its scarcity, receded six
pence per quarter. Wheat for shipment is
very inactive though offered at shilling to
two shillings per quarter less. Maize was
slow at a decline of six pence.
Sales of English wheat last week, 26,9O3
quarters, at 45s I'd per quarter, against 81
500 quarters, at 39s Id per quarter for the
corresponding week last year. Imports
into the United Kingdom the week ending
January II, were 593,455 hundred weights
of wheat and 22s,51O hundred weights
flour.

THE REAGAN BILL.
Charles Francis Adams addressed the cum

advocated extension of the Massachusetts plan
of an advisory railroad commission to which all
complaints should be referred. This had
worked admirably in Massachusetts, and an ex-
tension of the system over the country at large
he thought would be beneficial. He be-

FOR JOHN SHERMAN.
Gen. Garfield Declares in Favor of His
Nomination for the Presidency.


Nomination for the Presidency.
COLUMBUS, o, Jan. 27.-Gen. JONES A. Gar
field, United States Senator-elect from Ohio, in
response to letter of State Senator r. A.
Horn, asking public expression of his views
on the Presidential question, writes:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 26, 185O.-To Hon.
E. A. Horn, Columbus, O.-DEAR SIR: l have
received your letter of the 10th inst, in
which you ask what course 1 think the
Republicans of Ohio ought to
pursue in reference to the
Presidential nomination to be made at
Chicago in June next. The answer to this in
quiry should not be made on personal grounds.
but upon these two public considerations: First
The best interests of the whole country as
represented by the national Republican party;
and second-the harmony and effective action
of the Republicans of Ohio. The first consid-
Grafton cannot be satisfactorily determined I'M
til after true and full consultation at the
national convention by the Republican dele
gates of all the States and territories. But in
the meantime, the Republicans of Ohio may
properly express their opinion on the subject.
The second consideration must be determined
by the Ohio Republicans alone. They should
bear in mind that Ohio is a close State, for
great and decisive as the victory of last October
was, their majority over all opponents was less
than one per cent. of our voting population,
ard any serious ulsaSreelHent diuous tueLu-
selves will imperil their chances of success at
the next election. The vital question then is
on what candidate can the Republicans of Ohio
most cordially and effectively unite. have no
doubt that a decisive majority of our
party in Ohio favor the nomination of John
Sherman. He has earned this recognition at
their,hands by twenty-fveyears of conspicuous
public service at the period which embraces
nearly the whole life of the Republican party.
He deserves this special recognition of the ma
tion for the great service he has rendered it in
making the resumption law success and
placing the national finances on better basis.
am aware Of the fact that some Republicans
do not endorse all his opizions, but no man
who 4as opinions can expect the universal
concurrence of his party in all his
views, and no man without opinions
is worthy the support of a great party. hope
Ohio will make no attack on other candidates.
They should fairly and generously recognize
the merits Of ALL but think they ought to
present the name af Mr.. Sherman to the ma
tional convention, and give him their united
and cordial support.
Very truly yours, (signed)
| J. a. GARFIELD.

For 4 man SO promi lent as Horace
Thompson has been in tins community,
there is but little data, in the absence of his
Immediate family, for complete blographl-
cal sketch. Mr.. Thompson always declined
to have his history given in the various
biographical works which have been issued,
seeming TO shrink from any notorlety.
The secretary Of the Historical Society, who
has been for years collecting sketches of
our prominent citizens, was always politely
refused by Mr.. Thompson, it being his de-
sire to have no public notoriety given him.
Mr.. Thompson was born in Poultney,
Vermont, in 1927, and was therefore in the
sd year of his age. When quite young
mau he removed, with his brother, James E.
Thompson, to Americas, Georgia, where the
brothers opened dry goods and general
country store. He here met Miss Scar
borough, daughter of the late Judge
Scarborough, and she became his wife.
In 1859 the brothers removed to st. Paul,
bringing with them a combined capital of
about $4,000. They formed a partnership
with Parker Paine, who WAS in the banking
business here, and the private banking firm
of Thompson Bros. IL Paine was formed.
Horace Thompson was the bookkeeper of tie
firm as well as one of the partners. This part
nership lasted but about year, when MIR.
Paine retired aud the firm of Thompson
Bros. was continued. Shortly after they
organized the State Bank of Minnesota and
continued that until 1868, when with their
bank as a basis the brothers organized the
First National bank Of St. Paul,
James E. being chosen president and Horace
cashier. This arrangement continued until
the death of Jane L. in 1870, when Horace
was elected president of the bank and occu-
pied that position at the time of his death.
He was the largest stakeholder in the bank,
owning oue-fifth of the entire capital of a
million dollars.
He was active in the organization of the
ST. Paul & Sioux City railroad in 1864, was
chosen its treasurer and has ever since held
that position and been one of the leading
spirits in that great enterprise.
He never held a public Office Of any
description, and s'udiously avoided being
brought before the public. He was men,
Der and vice president of the chamber of
commerce, and chairman Of the board of
trustees in the First Baptist church.
Both in business and church affairs
he was an active and sagacious
worker aud adviser. Though not assuming
oratorical powers, he would in these posi-
tions make strong and forcible speeches,
showing marked sagacity and ability. The
First National bank and The s.. Paul &
Sioux City road can properly be
said to be the business monuments
which he has erected to live after him, and
the splendid ediice belonging to the First
Baptist society can, without disparagement to
others, be designated as his church monu-
ment. In all of these he can justly be said to

the bill. The purpose of the bill was to relieve
the postmaster general of all restraint, and to
ever he pleased, and to increase that service to
any amount.

Shortly after noon yesterday Il. Z. Upham,
cashier of the First National bank, received
the following telegram from New York:
New YORK, Jan. 27.-Mr. Thompson IS dam
perousiy i'll with pneumonia. Have the ohll-
dren. Horace and Charlie, come to ST. Paul
Immediately. | will keep you advised.
E. F. DRAKE.
This was the first intimation of Mr..
Thompson's illness which had reached the
CITY. He left st. Paul for New York on the
18th inst, accompanied by his wife and
adopted daughter, and also by Messrs' E. +.
Drake and Jahn L. Merriam. The party
reached New York on the 18th and took
rooms ut the Fifth Avenue hotel. MIR.
Thomson with his associates visited New
York for the purpose of perfecting pend
ing and partially completed railroad
projects in connection with the
extension of the st. Paal & Sioux City road
and the absorption of other organizations,
and he expected to be absent for two
months or more. A brief letter from him
after his arrival informed his friends that all
had arrived safe and well. His attack there
fore must have been extremely sudden and
acuts to have made such rapid progress.
The news of Mr.. thompson's illness spread
rapidly upon the street and the First Nation
al Bank, of which he was President, was
thronged with callers for information all
the afternoon. No further tidings were re-
ceiyed, however, ard it IS left for the GLOBE
to convey tho sad Intelligence OF a fatal re-
suit to the public this morning.
During the evening the GLOBE sent a
message to Mr.. Drake asking for bulletins Of
his condition up to the hour of going to
press, though We scarcely expected to re-
ceive such fatal intelligence. Tue first re-
sponse was received about half-past II,
having been sent at 1920, New York time.
