VINDICATOR OFFICE, I
STAUNTON, VA. July 31st.
The Philadelphia Record of Saturday in
reviewing the wheat markets of the country
for the week says: Speculation, assisted by
an improved export demand for wheat, and
by less favorable crop reports, given a
decided upward impulse to- values in the
grain markets; and the rise in wheat prices
has enabled millers to secure moderate adj
vance in the selling prices of flour. The
markets are called weather markets." but
it is noticeable that the drift of specula-
ton has been bullish, regardless of the sort
of weather that has been bulletined by the
Signal Service, and ''dry' OF ''wet' reports
from the corn belt have been made to serve
the same purpose of advancing values. AS
compared with figures current week ago the
markets are about cents higher for wheat
and to "a cents higher for corn. The for
eign demand for corn has been moderate; but
exporters have been more liberal buyers of
wheat in consequence of the impairment of
crop prospects by so much wetsWeather in the
United Kingdom and ON the Continent. The
interior movement of wheat has increased.
Receipts of corn have continued moderate,
and visible stocks have declined. The Gin
cinnati Price Current reports little change in
the promise of spring wheat; but its returns
with regard to the condition of corn have been
more discouraging, and indicate that the pro-
duction is likely to fall "quite materially
short of that of the last two years.
Dun & Co., of New York in their weeks re-
view say: "Wheat has been hoisted by great
persistency in circulating unfavorable reports
of yield at home and abroad. But exports are
not large, and the prospect in most of the
spring wheat region is very bright. Prices
advanced 2as for wheat, 2% for corn, and Sc
for oats on small transactions

The Rain.

A steady rain fell here from Sunday af-

ly benefited the corn crop, though an old
farmer tells us that even with this there
will not be fourth of a corn crop in Au-
gusta county.

energy, and as much according to his
means as any other man, to get the Cum
berland Valley Ry. to come through West
Augusta. (Applause.) He urged the
farmers not to spoil their chance, if they
got it, by high prices for rights of way
which would deter railroad from coming.
CONCERT OF ACTION.
MI. Charles Curry was called for and
made an earnest and practical speech. He
alluded to the great revival of material in
terests going on as shown in Basic City,
Buena Vista, Goshen, Iron Gate and Cliff
ton Forge, and said this was the time for a
road. These were enterprises made suc-
cessful by concert of action and now it was
time that something be done for the far
mers, and that something should be rail
road. Wherever there is a coal mine OF an
iron mine a railroad is bound to come. The
North Mountain is one great ore bank
from Winchester to Middlebrook, and there
is in it more idle wealth than in the whole
Valley of Virginia. The Southern people
were waking up and the people of West ALL
gusta should join in the general awakening
and in pressing for this railroad initiate the
persistence and energy which had been dis
played elsewhere.

This Hand Never Struck Me.

We recently heard the following
touching incident: A little boy had
died. His body was laid out in a
darkened, retired room, waiting to
be laid away in a cold, lone grave.
His afflicted mother and bereaved
little sister went In to look at the
sweet face of the precious sleeper,
for his face was beautiful even In
death. As they stood gazing on
the face of one 80 beloved and cher.
ished, the little girl asked to shake
his hand. The mother at first did
not think 1t best, but the child re.
peated the request, and seemed
very anxious about it. She took
the cold, blOOdless hand of her
sleeping boy, and placed it In the
hand Of his weeping sister. The
dear child looked at 1t a moment,
caressed It fondly, and then looked
up to her mother through the tears
Of affiicti0n and love, and said:
"Mother, this hand never struck
me-" What could have been more
touching and lovely?

A Correction.

Mr.. EDIToR:-It Is not your
fault that . mistake appeared in
my article last week. The proof
came TO me just Is I had to 20 to
Knox County to attend q funeral,
90 that I could not correct 1t.
Twas made to say that my Pro-
hibitiOn paper is tile "most respec-
table paper" that I take I wrote
"unpalatable" which conveys a
very different idea than to use ire
spectacle" I am watching to see
whether the paper has mended its
ways, for more unfair, unreliable
and intolerant sheet, l never saw,
judging it as it was two years ago.
So far as 1t seeks to dry up the
rum traffic, l am with 1t, but t
methods I have notheretofore liked.
The troublesome question is, allow
to get rid of the dram shop?" 1
know very well what I would do,
we're it in my power. Could my
will prevail I would amend the
Constitution of the United States,
and appoint Congress that would
drive the infamous business out Of
the land, but we have not reached
that vantage ground, and cannot
until "three fOurths of our states
becomes prohibition states" When
that glad day will come no enc can
say, but pray that the day may
be fastened.
