STAUNTON, VA, Oct. 8. !
Dun & Co.'S review of the grain market for
the week ending Saturday, says: Wheat has
risen 25s cents per bushel during the week on
sales of $4,000, 900 bushels, not because of
larger foreign demand but because the sup
plies coming from farms do not grade so we'll
and are not SO large as was expected. The
price is low at the best, but there is nothing
as yet to modify the belief that the supply for
the year will exceed all demands The Phi
ladelpha Record, in its Saturdays review of
the market, attributes the advance in wheat
to spectators and says: "Bullish manipula-
ton in Chicago has been the principal cause
of an advance of 2 to 81 cents per bushel in
the price of wheat during the last week. The
spectators have been strengthened in their
position by comparatively moderate receipts
and a good milling demand throughout the
West and Northwest. Minneapolis mills are
grinding all the Spring wheat that is now AZ,
irving in that market, and comparatively
little wheat is moving to market in the winter
grain districts. Foreign markets have strength
ened in response to the advance in domestic
grain centres; but there has been no decided
improvement in the export demand, and
clearances from Atlantic ports have continued
moderate"
The Baltimore Journal of Commerce of Sat
urday, after giving in detail the estimated re-
quirements of wheat by European nations and
the prospect of supply in Southern Russia,
concludes that 'the brunt of the shortage
must, therefore, fall upon the supplies of the
United States, and we are expected to fill the
European NAV to the extent of at least
100000 quarters. The question is, can we
40 it, and what effect will such demand have
upon values? With a crop of 457 600, 900 bush
els in 1886 we managed to export 1884, 900
Notwithstanding that the previous year hat
been comparative failure, yet the highest
point reached by No. red in our market wa!
915s cents, and during the greater portion o.
the year was under 80 cents. Although We
produce 4SS 900, 900 bushels this year, eons
derable portion is not suitable for shipment
and with stocks depleted as they were at the
beginning of the crop year, any demand sucl
as the present situation suggests must result il
a range of values considerable higher than
the present level

How to Polish Steel.

(, Small steel and iron articles in the
house are very difficult to keep bright
They easily become oXidized and al
ways want continual polishing. One
way. and a very simple one, is to pickle
them First of all plunge the articles
into u boiling solution of caustic soda
or potash for few minutes. This re-
moves all the greasy matter on them.
Then place them in a weak pickle OF
sulphuric acid. mixing about half a
pound of acid to q gallon of water.
Let them remain in this pickle for
about half an hour. This will loosen
the scale. Then rinse the articles and
sfterwara dip them, by means Of q
perforated stoneware basket, into a
strong solution of nitric acid. Only
let them remain in this acid for an in
slant and the black oxide will be i'm.
mediately removed. After removing
the basket from the nitric acid plunge
it into cold water. The articles can
then be coppered, silvered or gilded
very easily or left brightly y. Mai

One May TO Preserve Cider.

A farmer who resides near Middle
town, Orange County, has a unique
way Of preserving cider. He made a
lot of cider last fall and put one barrel
OF it near his house, in an exposed
place, so that it would readily ferment.
After some time he had curiosity to
examine the barrel, and, in doing so,
found that large part of its contents
had disappeared. He concluded that
some one had been stealing his cider.
He hit upon plan to do little detect
i've work. He bought Of druggist
some sickening compound that would
be very discomposing to the human
stomach without being poisonous. and
put it into the cider A few days after
ward the wife of hired man of his.
who lived near by in a tenement house.
came to the farmers house and re-
ported that her husband had been sud-
denly taken sick at the stomach from
some cause that she could not guess.
The farmer asked her what he had
been eating or drinking. The woman
replied he had drank nothing unusual
except some cider that he had bought

tact that his bit Of detective work had
