MARKETS.
VINDICATOR OFFICE.

VINDICAToR OFFICE, I
STAUNToN, VA, February 21st.
The grain markets of the country close the
week dull. Wheat, very strange to report is
higher in the West than anywhere else, the
price of Winter wheat being fully ten cents
more in Chicago than the same grade
of wheat will bring in Staunton,
Richmond, Baltimore, or New York. In
Staunton the demand has been active, but
settles down more quiet as we go to press. The
other markets have failed to respond promptly
to the advance here, and our dealers are not
disposed to force things. 1t looks as if they may
recede a few cents. We note few cars being
loaded at the different stations-W. A. Freed,
David Koiner and G. McCune, at Fishersville;
Daniel Forrer, at Mt Crawford, and Charles
Lightner, at Snyder's Switch.
Cloverseed is without friends. No orders
coming in from the East, and merchants over
stocked.
Hay continues very dull. We do not make
any change in quotations though it would,
perhaps, be necessary to shade prices in order
to make large sales,
Oats and Corn are without change
I'VE have been accustomed to speak of the

457, 329, 900 bushels in 1887. But the average

What a Working Girl Wants.

Not only has Staunton lost working men
by it's apathy about manufacturing enter
prises, but something equally as important
working girls. One of the latter, an I'M
usually intelligent and industrious young
girl, the daughter of a dead Confederate
soldier, and who had to go to another city
to find work, thus writes to the VINDI-
GATOR, in which she has read about the
efforts to build up the town:
''Dear old Staunton, l sincerely wish hel
every success and hope that her scattered
children may come back to help make the
success doubly sure. / see that you Staunton
folks are going to give lots of work to the
men folks, but l suppose you are going to
exclude us girls from your town altogether
except those few who are so fortunate as to
already have places there. Is there nothing
to be started up to give those who are away
chance to go back home again ?"
