TIE BRITISH GRAIN TRADE.
The Mark Lane Express's Weekly Review
OF Its Condition.

OF It's Condition,
LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Mark Lane
Erpre", in It's weekly review of the Brit
ish grain trade, says; The wheat markets
are slow for January, though tho firm
ness is preserved. A pause has occurred
in farmers deliveries.
The sales Of English wheat for the past
week amounted to Al, ,15OQuarters at sos.
3D., against 6S,074 at Sis. 4d. for tho cor
responding week last year. There were
four arrivals OF wheat cargoes Off the
coast Tho cargo trade Is scarcely en-
Couraging, but u certain freshenfng OF
the continent demand prevents a gloomy
weeks record. The holders OF Indian.
Russian and South American wheats are
frmer than holders Of California,
The finest grades OF London makes of
flour have fallen to wheat terms, having
maintained 40 In the autumn when
wheat was declining. They arO now
quoted SOs. Ordinary makes are un-
changed.
Corn is hardening. Barley is firm.
Beans and peas are weak. Rye is dearer.
Atto.day's market tho open weather
and good reserve told heavily against
the Mark Lane breadstutIs trade, Lon
don Is now tho focus Of the depression
In the British grain trade. Owing to tho
exceedingly heavy arrivals OF Russian
wheat most samples OF British dnd for.
eign wheats were reduced Is. American
prices are still too high for business, but
the recent decline in New York looks OK
though the United States instead OF the
United Kingdom WIS about 10 give way.

i N'"rT
Great Anxiety to Know What the RspuD
lIcau Caucus Did.
Special DkPaish to the IatslltgeHotr
CuARLEsToN, W, VA, Jan. l4,-Tht
Democrats are eager to know the result
Of the caucus Of Republican Senator.
tonight, They were 80 bent on II thai
the RegiSter young man was in an ad
joining room, for which one Of the jani
tors OF the Capitol was hauled up before
the caucus and allowed to hear the riot
act read.
The Democrats will know more to-
morrow, when they discover that the
Republican Senator's have not yet fallen
into their trap. There will be no break
Of the deadlock unless the Democrats
come to terms on the Gubernatorial mat
ter, II may require some time TO make
this clear enough for the Democrats to
understand II and probably they will re-.
sist adjournment, Tonight they are
threatening to hold the session together
from 10 o'clock In the morning until the
deadlock is broken, iiittakes week.
To do this they would have to hold
their own forces solid and have Carr
with them, and find another Republi-
can vote, They have n hope that they
can select Republican other than Carr,
who cannot command two Republican
votes TO make him President. Thus far
they have failed, and more failure is In
store. They have threatened to take up
Minear in earnest, but they don't
mean II.
To-day Senator Scott said finally and
tlatly that under no circumstances would
he accept the Presidency. His business
affairs make It out OF the question. The
Republicans will have no trouble TO set
tie on u man when they get ready.
There Is a more livelier Interest tonight
than there has been since the first day.
1t will not diminish tomorrow.
DR.. r. o. Edwards and wife, and Col.
Arnett, OF Wheeling, arrived tonight.
Judge Fleming expects TO leave We'd
nesday morning to attend court at Clarks-
burg.
Delegate sllas Smith, Of Tyler, was
looked for tonight, but did not come,
and nothing was heard from him.
John A. Hutchinson, Of counsel for
Governor GoiT, will return here to,mor-
row night.

kelley, left here to-day en- route for the
Pacific coast as u Timber Inspector.
Uncle EnoCh Morgan, delegate from
Welzel, is doing what he can to break

A number Of witnesses, bound for the
