SrAUNToN. VA. Sept 30. 1890.
The two first days of the Fair rather adds
than detracts from the heavy transactions in
! trade whist the exhibit of the week m assures
up with good results generally to all depart
ments of business.
The weather crop bulletins of the Govern.
ment at Washington, as we'll as those which
have been issued weekly from the signal sta
tion at Lynchburg. covering good portion of
the State, were SO closely com ected With the
comments aud quotations of rarm products
that we have generally in Incorporated that class
of intelligence with the review of trade.
The season for crop reports having expired
to day. the signal service in that feature is
announced closed. Mr.. j. N. Ryker. the OBJ
server of the Lynchburg station, has been
faithful, and promptly communicated results
to the press. In announcing the end of the
service for the season. he desires his acknowl-
edgments to correspondents (of whom Mr. He'd
rick at the Western Lunatic Asylum was one)
to be announced, and expresses much satifac.
ton with the newspapers that have aided him
in this serviceb publishing his reports. He
believes the service will be renewed the next
season.
The situation in wheat continues fiuctuat-
ing. which as stated previously may be antic-
ipated for some time to come.
The Prairie (Chicago) Farmer, OF the 23rd, a
watchtul observef, makes the following CO M
ments:
"Fightness in the money market fthe East
and the occasional failures that have been
cropping out have helped to depress prices tor
grain to some extent,and December wheat has
besn selling around 81 o decline OF 10c bush
Ell from the highest point reached this autumn
The feeling among SPECTATORS is much less
builish than 1t was a few weeks ago, and the
northwestern large milling and elevator con
Germs have been selling q great deal of
wheat here. Prices have settled down the past
week more than they gained the previous
week, and corn has sold off on the better crop
outlook There is naturally wide Difference
of opinion regarding the future of wheat Nu-
merous traders on 'change are looking for
higher prices within the next few mouths, but
others think that the effect of the short crop is
already discounted, cash wheat being now
about 19c bushel higher than year ago. Ex
ports are extremely small as the price here
is relatively higher than in Liverpool"
The decline in our market during the past
week has been about cents. We qnote to- day
the highest at slO2, with liberal offerings.
which is the only change to note in the price,
current.

Hon. Fl. st. Geo. Tucker made speech
at Palmyra, Fluvanna county, on Monday
of last week. A correspondent of the Dis
patch, after giving the questions he ably
presented, concludes his letter SIS folows:-
'Mr. Tucker addresses himself both to
the understanding and the heart of his hear

by very graceful manner, he never fails to
seize them and carry them along with him.
This is attested by the hearty applause
awarded him throughout his grand speech

On Friday night the meat store of Captain
VIM. f. Asst Yves entered in the same way
over the transom of the rear door and the
money-drawer was broken open and robbed.
In this case the thief only got about three and

boy entering the store by the aid of the man,
