PLAYED upon the shorts. Foreign cables
have been much frmer in tone, principally
owing to unsettled weather in Western
Europe, but the time has nearly come
when weather conditions will cease to affect
prices, as harvest work abroad will soon
be over, as far as wheat is concerned. The
weather here continues to be fine through
out the west, and there is nothing to mar
the excellence of our crop, either as to
volume or quality.
CORN is now rapidly passing the danger
point, as far as frosts are concerned, and
the glorious weather which has prevailed
for the past week or ten days has been ex-
actly what was needed for maturing the
crop, and continuation of it for another
week will practically assure large yleid
of probably over 1900, 900, 900 bushels
Prices have been very weak under THESE
favorable conditions and on the heavy re-
ceipts of old corn, which is at present being
sent to market with surprising freedom

stuff have been rather disappointed py Inc

the new crop, and are consequently losing

there is still plenty Of time for twist In
prices, but during the past week the Clique
have been remarkably quiet; still they may
be lying low. 80,
Provisions continue to be quite dull,
with very small outside trade. Prices
have sagged in sympathy with corn, and
little else can be said of the market, which
is almost featureless. Receipts OF live hogs
are still too large to induce any active buy
ing, though the prices for them have not
wea kened any.

Wheat, Corn, Provisions.

We give herewith the remarks of the
commercial bulletin Of Henry CleWs & Co.,
of date September 10Th, in reference to
wheat, corn. and provisions -
"WHEAT.- AS the season advances, the
unusual conditions surrounding the wheat
market are becoming more and more ap-
parent, and the actual strength Of the
situation seems to be forcing itself upon
the attention of the trade and the general
public with greater vividness each week.
The enormous quantity of wheat in the
United States is only given consideration
when there is nothing else to consider, and
although the interior receipts of new wheat
foot up tremendous totals daily, they only
affect the market for a short period of time
each day or so. aud are soon lost sight of
again upon the receipt of any bullish news
from abroad. Holders of wheat in the
speculative market, though ever ready to
do certain amount of realizing on each
fair advance, exhibit no fears of being long
of the market, and are perfectly willing to
keep the bulk of their holdings for the
present, while, per contra, the shorts are
never in anything but a nervous state, and
are easily driven to cover. It is thought
that the short interest in the market is
large, notwithstanding many opposite opin
ions, and it has undoubtedly been induced
By tEe volume of the receipts, which Ger
lainly at the moment tend to offset to
great extent the effect of the foreign short
age, but the receipts will not continue at
their present figures forever, and when
they begin to fall off there is not likely to
be much that will keep prices down in the
lace of the heavy exports, which, as we
have before stated, are likely to continue to
a greater or less extent throughout the
season. Every time wheat breaks a few
cents there are any quantity of buying
orders reached, AID this support repre-
SCENTS not only the supposedly well-informed
professional element, but also the outside
pnblic, ard therefore clearly demonstrates
tie existence CT general faith in an ulti-

The Wheat Crop of Europe.

In reviewing the indications relative to
this years wheat production in Europe
Dornbusch's London List reaches total Of
1,CA, 600, 900 bushels; the crop in 1890 is
reckoned as 1890, 100000, and in 1889 as
1,1Os, 900, 900 bushels. Importing coun-
tries are given credit for total requirements
of 1,004, 000,0 900 bushels, production GOA, :
100000, leaving 400, 900, 900 as the quantity
needed to be imported. Against this the
apparent surplus of exporting countries il
estimated as 1858, 100000 bushels, or 80, 0OO,'
900 short of the estimated needs.
Dornbusch's List has reputation fol-
careful and intelligent work in these mat
tiers, and its statements are worthy Of high
consideration. 1t may be observed, how
ever, that there is margin for considerable
elasticity in all such calculations-fol
figures relative to production can at best
be only approximations.
In the exhibit offered in Dornbusch the
crop of France is reckoned higher than the
popular view now seems to be; the years
requirements of the United Kingdom some.
what above ordinary estimates, and tht
surplus of the United States and Canada,
as 2O0,0OO,009 bushels, decidedly below
what may with reason and full confidence
be expected to be available.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET
FOR THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
G. W. KOINER,
Il. j. WILLIAMS.
The Action OF ii. C. Parsons and Other
Anti-MahOne Republicans.
IT MEANS THAT BLAINE WILL BE CAN
DIDATE If Hrs HEALTH WILL
PERMIT.

1t has been very difficult to determine
heretofore whether or not it was Blaine'i
purpose to be a candidate for the Pfesi
dency next year. We think that the actor
of Col. h. G. Parsons, and those who are
cooperating with him in the opposition tt
Malone, furnishes the strongest evidence
that Blaine will be candidate if his health
at that time will permit. AS Col. Parsons
is not only prominent Republican, but
most intimate personal friend Of Blaine, il
is to be presumed that he knows what
Blaine's wishes are in reference to the nom
ination of the Republican party for the
Presidency. 1t is also well-known thai
Malone is violently opposed to the nomi-
nation of Blaine, and that he will do al
within his power to prevent Blaine from
getting any delegates from this State. 1t
is also we'll understood that Malone is now
pursuing policy to keep himself in posi-
tion where he can control the delegation
from this State. That is one of bis CHIEF
objects, and the chief object of Parsons and
his followers is to defeat Mahone's purpose,
and this, to our mind, furnishes the strong
est evidence that Blaine will allow his name
to go before the National Republican Con-
vention for nomination for the Presidency
if his health will pc rmit. These active op
ponents of Malone express great solicitude
about preserving the party, and great con-
domination of the d o-nothing policy he ad.
vises in this Fall's canvass; but if he were
workin gand scheming for Blaine instead OF
against him, would they express such sole
itude for the preservation of the Republi
can party in Virginia? The fight is for the
delegation in the National Republican con-
vention, and not for the members of the
Virginia Legislature. It means that Blaine
contemplates being candidate, and that
