STAUNToN. VA, June l4th. I
This has been week of fuctuation in the
great grain centers. The government report
of the growing crop issued last Saturday, was
the cause of great stir in Chicago, where ii
seemed to be understood differently by the
'bulls" and the "bears" and the market
changed four times in a few hours ir the in
terest first of one side and then of the other
finally settling at q decline of about cents
The report shows slight increase in acreage
and condition of the crop in the principa
wheat producing States.
There is no change in the Staunton price
current worth noticing this week.
Bradstreet's reports of the state of trade
in the country for the week ending Saturday
last note stimulation in the retail and jobbine
trades in dry goods, boots and shoes and gro
ceries to q moderate extent The leading mo
ney markets exhibit exceptional ease and do
nestle exchanges are still in favor of New
York. 1t says:
Flour is 10c lower; cash wheat 2{c. high
er; No. mixed corn, 2sc. lower, and oats 3c
lower. Cattle and hogs at st. Louis ant
Kansas City are in excellent sale for all bu
the lowest grades, and values are firm, will
advancing tendency. At Omaha hogs are de
clining.
'The demand for raw sugar has been ligh
and arrivals free, and although MEETINGS have
increased and stocks have been augmented
prices have been sustained by favorable re
ports from primary markets and stronger Lon
don cables. Refined has tended to weakness
with lighter demand. Brazil coffee has bee 1
! active, but lower 3c. in the week to Thursday
Teas have been in slack demand, and only

'Leading cotton goods at the east are il
more active distribution from jobbers and al
retail; prices are we'll sustained. Some makes
are sold for months ahead. Wooens are ex
tremely dull. Prints are firm, with makers
views above nominal quotations. Interio,
prices for wool are above eastern offers, and
manufacturers are buying cautiously.
''Iron and steel prices still tend downward
and southern irons continue to go north
though in smaller quantities. Steel rails are
dull; some larger engagements will be with
held for the present. Wages reductions have
been made at western mills"

SILVER In CHINA.

The fine silver bars turned on
from the Carson and San Francisco
hints are in every instance shipped
to China. They are none Of them
less than S97 in finencss, while
those from the Carson Mint range
from 99S1s to 999la. 1t has long
been a matter of speculation with
the Mint people, why the Chinese
require that the bars should be OF
such greater fineness than is re-
Guired for coinage, or for the ordin-
ary purposes for which the metal is
used. A gentleman who has lived
in the Celestial Empire for upwards
of thirty years, and who is familiar
with the currency system of that
Nation, furnishes the APPEAL the
following explanation:
The demand for such exceeding
IL fine silver arises from the fact
that "Sycee," which is nearly pure
silver, is the legal tender in which
all, or nearly all, official salaries
and custom dues are paid. Tie
name "Sai S. l.. Nyan" indicates
that the silver is as fine as can be
made. When coin is paid into the
Imperial Treasury. it is estimated
according to the pure silver it coz
tails, BY ,cciqhi, and not by count,
as is the custom in other countries.
Ii the fine bars turned out by the
U. s. MINIS are accepted accord
ing to their stamped fneuess and
weight by the Chinese as correct,
they become simply large coins,
easily estimated. and are SO turned
into the Imperial Golfers. They also
pass current among the Commercial
people in the place of bushels and
bags OF dollars. II these laws could
be made to SUIT the Chinese STAN
dard by the United States MINIS, OF
weights, say respectively: Five,
ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred
..taels," or Chinese ounces. ana
each properly stamped it would
help materially towards disposing
OF our surplus silver to the Chinese.
1t would be far preferable to the
discontinued practice OF the coinage
of trade dollars for the Chinese
market. This is the opinion of
our informant and he is doubtless
correct. The value of the trade
dollar is estimated in China, by the
amount OF pure silver it contains,
aud is in no wise increased by the
shape, or the Mint inscriptions upon
its sides. Small oblong bars Of
lesser weights, stamped as the
larger ones now are would be moro
acceptable to our Mongolian Gus
toners, and could be turned out
at an Expense, trifling when COM
pared with that of the coinage OF
trade dollars. This Is . matter
worthy the consideration of the sill
YER producers of the Pacific Coast,
who are directly interested in en-
coaraging the greatest possible
facilities for the sale OF their product.
The issuance OF small bars of speci-
fed weights and fineness would, it
is true. entail a trIfling additional
cost in turning them out. The
advantages to be gained, however,
would more than justify the Gov
eminent in ordering their issuance
without increasing the present
charges to depositors.
