Not seeing anthing in the columns Of your
valuable paper from this neighborhc,od, we
thought we would give you few jottings as
to what the people of our burg and vfci nifty are
doing.
Messrs. Sam'l Byers & Son. the famous
breeders of the celebrated Clydesdal horses,
are taking the lead in hauling. On thursday,
the 10Th of July, they broke the record OF
hauling on the Valley Turnpike. With their
team of eight magnificent Clydesdal horses
they hauled one hundred and ninet bushels
of wheat, or near six tons. from tn cir farm,
near Burke's Mill, to Mr.. Andrew Bolling's
mills, on Middle River. We don't believe as
large load and as fine team have been on
the Valley Pike since 1884, up to the present
time. Messrs. Prichard & Layman. W no used
to wagon on the Valley Pike, mace 81 record
of five tons, which has stood unsurpa ssed I'M
til the Clydesdale was introduced into the
Valley by Messrs Byers & Son, of this place,
and the Powells of Pennsylvania. We will
have to be with the Valley Virginioas like Luke
was with the Apostles. We being an eye
witness, will have to correct the error ,rsade
by the Virginidn In giving the number of b ush
els of wheat and weight of 1t. that Mye KS &
Son hauled with their team Of Clydesda ses.

Staunton Markets.

Staunton. Va. July 3lst. 1888.
Whilst the growing wheat in the Winter
wheat States of the West was maturing, we
often furnished full statements ofits condition.
The estimated yield puts the deficiency Of this
year at from so to 100000 bushels in those
States. That fact is incontrovertible. To- day
In the general commercial department, will be
found a report from the spring-wheat belt Of
the Northwestern States furnishing a fair
prospect for the yield.
The latest foreign intelligence curtails the
yield of most OF the exporting countries except
Russia. This Intelligence is very specific in
regard to France, including deficiency also
in the rye-crop of that country. Its estimated
wants in breadstuffs will be much greater In
1SSS-'s9 than the year previous. Heavy rains
have pl evailed in England, Austria Hungary
and Italy. cutting off the prospect to some ex-
tent which was diminished one for this har-
vest in those countries.
The stocks of wheat on hand at the principal
stations of supply in Europe are less now thar
{ they were one year ago. Shipping rates from
parts along the coast of California and Oregon
| have advanced, as they have also from New
Zsaland and Australia. The diminished stocks
andthe apprehended shortage in Europe. an
| the higher rates of shipping referred to. cause
| markets, enlivening the exporting demand
and advancing quotations in our Eastern
| markets.
We note an advance in our market. Good
wheat was selling to-day at 50 cents.
| Our producers and dealers have commenced
to look into the probable run Of the hay-trade
as our most valuable customers in the Soutl
Atlantic and Gulf States will have an oppor
tunity of supplying their needs. The failur
OF large sections of the Western grass-crops tn
two previous Summers gave us a fine marke
| in the South. Under the general commercial
head we have briefly compiled Information o
the present crop which covers wide extern
| of country. The South will have larger sup
plies to draw from this than existed durin
| the two previous seasons, but there will be
larger demand, and the hope is that our crol
will yield on the market equal to the two pas
years.
Nothing new to report this week in whole
sale grocery lines.

Mr.. Marshall N. Gillian:
Dear Strive have, after consultation
with friends Of the local option movement,
and upon mature reflection become of the
opinion (whatever the chances of success
may beg that this is an inappropriate time
to have our election for the reasons:
That the people of our city are now
deeply interested in and working for the
success of the Exposition, as we'll as in
volved in the coming National election
which will distract their attention from the
local option issue and render it impossible
to secure the hearty CO operation of all our
friends.
Desiring to keep this separate and clear
from all other issues, political or otherwise,
we authorize you, if in your judgment you
deem it best, to withdraw the petition now
in the hands of Judge Atkins.
Thanking you for your services and kind
ly offices, we are

addition to the history of the Old Dominion.
The chapters which tell the story of the early

were engaged. are worthy of more than the
passing mention which limited space permits
us to give them. The civil and military histo-
RI of this interesting county is well told. The
supplement is of itself work of great value
Mr.. Waddell has rendered q lasting service
not only to the citizens of Virginia, but to all

Clarke, who says: "This is a very important
historical paper relating to a most interest.

the time. They were an ugly, snappish and
brassy set. They squabbled among them.

like mad cat. 1t was the most repulsive
exhibition we ever witnessed, and five keep
