THE MARKETS.

The quotations show slight advance over
last week, but even under this stimulus transac
lions have been light, and tho demand has been
brisk and sustained, yet the farmers do not
seem disposed to sell. The advance is due to
the threatening news from Europe, and the
situation is simply this: II war is declared be-
tween England and Russia-and the latest in
telligence strongly points that way-then wheat
will advance. If there is no war then it will
decline. The market as a matter of course is
unsteady, and both buyer and seller are fever
ishly awaiting foreign news. Quotations yes
tcrday were as follows: Flour, Family 81 50 /;
Extra 81 20; Super So 20; Wheat 9S to 81 % /;
Corn So; Oats As; Glover seed 81 .; Hay SIG TO
ST..
In Richmond and Baltimore Wheat was
quoted about 10 cents higher.

and unaccountable error crept into par
agraph referring to the failure of the Elk

that the Estate had $500, 900 in this bank. y
This mistake would correct itself with
those acquainted with the financial condi
ton of the Treasury since the Democratic
party has had control OF the Legislature.
The fact is, the amount Of State funds
deposited in the Exchange Bank at the
time of it's failure was $5,1SS, which is
amply secured by bond. The State will

On Monday last, Mr.. w. L. Craig. Col
lector of Internal Revenue for this, the
9th, District, received the following tel
egfam
WASHINGTON, April Goth. So.
W. e. Croig. Collector - am directed
by the Honorable Secretary of the Treas
urer to request your resignation as Col
lector of the 9th Internal Revenue Dis
trict of Virginia. Telegraph your reply.
j. :. MILLER, Commissioner.
In reply Mr. Craig asked to be informed
by what authority the Honorable Secre-
tary of the Treasury requested his resig-
nation, and for what cause.
The following day this answer came:
WASHINGTON. April 2lst.
Your resignation was asked for because
it was understood here that you were
simply awaiting such request to tender
it, JOS. 5. MILLER.
Commissioner.
Mr. Craig contends that inasmuch as he
holds his office by appointment of the Pres
ident. any demand for his resignation
should come from the same source. His
entire department is in thorough order
and his administration was highly com,
plimentea after thorough examination
recently made by Especial agent. To have
complied with the request so summarily
preferred. would have subjected him tC
unfavorable criticism, inasmuch as it is
not reasonable to suppose that such hot
haste would have been employed had there
not been aggravated cause for his re-
moval. The explanation of the Commits
sioner shows that the Department has
been imposed upon by the false representa-
ton of parties, and condition Of affair:
precipitated which cannot but prove fruit
full of embarrassment. With little more
experience in the same line the officials a
Washington will learn how much reliance
| can be placed in the statements of inter
| ested politicians, who care nothing TO
truth so they get hold of the offices.
The message quoted above is the las
| communication received from the depart
ment, and Mr.. Craig continues to dis
charge the duties of his Office as if nothing
had occurred.
