Condition Of Crops.-Wheat is about one

are all about an average, or, perhaps, lit
tie better than an average crop. There Is
larger acreage of corn than for many years,
owing to the number Of acres OF wheat that
had TO be ploughed up. Potato bugs are
troublesome, but will not destroy much OF
the crop. Grass and clover are full crop,

NEW YoRK sTocK MARKET

NEW YORK. January 6.--There was
increased activity in the stock market
to-day. with sharp advance in prices.
Many operators have changed their po-
sition from the bear to the bull side on
the recent advance in wheat and a
likelihood of freer movement in grain,
and consequent improvement in railway
earnings. Some of the prominent bears
were free buyers, and this assisted the
upward movement. The announcement
that large western rolling-mill would
resume work shortly had good
effect. and was accepted as indicating
improvement in the outside situation.

ALBANY. n. Y, January 6.-The
Senate chamber to-day, before the open
ing of the session. was scene of great
yiyacity, the senator's passing to and fro
extending the compliments of the sea-
son, or gathering around Senator Muir
phys desk. which was imbcdded in
flowers, whence emerged the red comb
of Bantam gamc-cock. Ten minutes
after ii O'Clock Northumberland
Hill called the Senate TO order. Prayer
was offered by the chaplain, Rev. S. V.
Lcech, in which touching reference was
made to the death Of Secretary-oi-the-

Arkell, Baker, and Thomas responded
to roll-call. Messrs. Lansing. Jacobs,
Gilbert. and Murphy were appointed
committee to notify the Governor and
the Assembly that the Senate was or
eanized and ready for business.
In order TO allow the Assembly time
to perfect It's organization. the Senate
then took a recess Of one hour.
The organization Of the Assembly
was effected speedily. apparently vita
much less than ordinary public interest.

CHICAGO, January 6.---In an inter-
view here to-day c-Prcsident-eIec
Hendricks, speaking Of the recent cam
l,aign. said no was convinced that the
proper mode Of conducting presidential
contest was to discuss the political issues
involved. and not make an attack onthe
presidential nominees. He was not
fully prepared TO admit that the attack
on General Garfield's connection with
the DeGolyer paving contracts benefited
the Republican nominee for President
in 1880, as he claimed that the main
fight on Garfield was on account Of the
latter's connection with the Electoral
Commission Of 1876, and was there
fore a political issue and proper
subject for discussion. Mr.. Hendricks
alluded to the excitement attending the
recent election of the Democratic ticket,
and said that for short time after the
election he believed second protracted
struggle like that Of 1876 was in store
for him. at is very unpleasant, | can
assure YOU" continued the Vice-Presi-
dent-elect. ..This is the fourth time
that an election in which was candi-
date has been so close that both sides
claimed il until the official count was
declared" While not admitting that
he was in the least posted ON the MEM
bers of Prcsident-elect Cleyeland's Cabi-
net. Governor Hendricks said he
believed that the southern States should.
be represented among the Presidents
advisers. He had received letters from
southern gentlemen who had suggested
the propricty of leaving out the South
in the selection Of a Cabinet. In his
replies he had expressed the opinion
that such course would be virtual
admission that the statesmen Of the
South were not qualified for Cabinet po-
sitions--an admission that was wholly
iinwarranted. Mr.. Hendricks laughed
over the current report that his meeting
with Mr.. Cleveland had not been of the
most pleasant nature. He said he had
no intention Of interfering with any of
the Presidents purposes-political or
otherwise. Mr.. Cleveland he had re-
garded as most decided cha
racter; but this impression was gained
more from his record as Governor
of New York than from personal inter-
views. Referring to the President
elects letter on the civil-seryice law,
the e-President-elcct said he believed
that the removal of intensely-partisan
office-holders, as was indicated by Gov
ernor Cleveland, would satisfy the Dem
ocrats and keep the President busy for
some time in filling vacancies. Mr..
Hendricks thought Mr.. Blaine had
made mistake in dismissing his libel
suit against the indianapolis Sentinel
on the ground that he could not secure
justice at the hands of jury in In
diana. He claimed that it would have
been better if the case had been dis
missed without such reflections on the
people of Indiana.

ONO OCTOBER ELECTION.
Investigation of United States Marshal
| Wriab:'s Conduct Continued.


lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l
CINCINNATI, January G.-The con-
gressonal committee examining into
the appointment Of United States dep
uty marshals in this city at the last Dc
tober election resumed the examination
Of Marshal Wright this morning. The
general method of questioning was to
read the names of the deputies appoint
ed one by one. and ask the marshal if
he knew the men, where they lived,
and who recommended them. Mr.. Fol-
let would ask if the witness did not
know they were thieves. murderers,
and ex-conyicts just out of the Jail or
work-house. and charged with crimes.
etc. Witness. i'll most cases, could
not recollect the persons asked
about, nor who recommended them.
He said it was possible that some
men were appointed who were not
recommended at all, though his
aim was to get men qualified for the
work. In reference to one colorcd man,
he said he knew he was reported to be
bad man, but did not believe the re-
ports were well founded. Atany rate,
he was a man well qualified to meet the
emergency which called for the appoint
ment OF deputies-namely, the danger
of repeating. He was aware that some
of his men were not strictly pious, but
in making appointments he had regard
to the elements his deputies would have
to deal with. He had never heard of a
single instance where any deputy had
in any way prevented any citizen from
casting legal vote. MIR. Toilet
asked witness if he didn't know some
of his deputies were keepers of crap
houses and low dives. Witness replied
that he didn't know the meaning of
these terms. In the appointment of so
many men in such short time it would
be difficult TO get all with perfectly
clear history and still, be good men for
deputy marshals at an election. Wit
ness repeated that he made great eff
fort to get good. efficient men. and most
of them were such.
Mr.. Toilet asked how many Of the
COO revolyers distributed had been re-
turned. Witness said. Between three
and four hundred "Still. -. said Mr..
Toilet. you had good men. who re-
tanned nearly half your reyolyers."
Witness said he expected to get more
of these revolyers yet. He admitted
having appointed three deputies to serve
in Reading, which was not a city of
twenty thousand inhabitants, and from
which he had no written application.
In witnesses view of the law he had
power to send general deputies to every
voting-place in the Southern Ohio dis
trict. but would not be entitled to allow
them pay for such service. He denied
having had consultations with Butter
worth and Brown or with the Republic
can committee except in a casual way.
In general he followed his own judg-
ment. He denied that there was a plan
agreed upon after consultation TO APP
point as many cx-policemen as possible.
which was afterwards abandoned and
the other plan adopted. He took some
advice about the appointments from 4.
q. Rathbone, of the Pension Depart
ment. who was general deputy of his,
having been appointed year or more
ago.
The examination of Marshal Wright
was not ended.
