A LONGEVITY PAY CASE DEoIDED.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day rendered an opin-
ion in the case Of the United States against
Simon Cook, brought here on appeal from the
Court OF Claims. Cook claimed that he was
entitled to longevity pay for the period during
which he served as a midshipman at the naval
academy. The court in an opinion by Justice
Bradley says that there is no difference be-
tween this case and others in which the court
has ruled, that the time spent at the naval aca-
deny should be considered in computing the
longevity pay allowed by Congress. The deci-
sion Of the Court of Claims in favor of the
claimant was therefore affirmed.

The past week has been rather dull in the
offerings of staples and In farm products gen.
orally Our flour and corn.mills are running
O fair time and are in good supplies of grain.
Quotations in all branches of trade remain as
last week.
We append some notes compiled from the
best authorities at the leading centers of tradeS
At Chicago, wheat was the center of attraction
last week. There the government estimate of
shortage next harvest. of from 40 to SO millions
bushels, is acquiesced in. In sympathy with
with wheat corn was showing increased firm
ness and 1t was believed, England would draw
moretheavily than usual on this country for
her wants in that cereal. Provisions in the
main were quiet except for mess-pork. lard,
aud short rlbs-for the latter there was an In
crsasing Southern demand.
The emancipation Of slavery in Brazil more
or less unsettles the coffee markets. One ef the
conditions eff the law. however. requires that
all emancipated negroes on the coffee planta-
lions must remain there till the next crop Is
gathered.
Wool in the leading markets is reported dnll.
Both In Boston and Philadelphia the sales last
week were less than the previous week, and
less than the corresponding week of last year
