The Cincinnati Price Current of June
lessening of rains in the West the past week
much progress has been made in corn plant
ing where it has been delayed, and ON the
whole the situation has improved, although
in various localities more or less of rainfall
has occurred again, and the outlook is gloomy.
1t is difficult to satisfactorily shape calcula-
tons as to the possibilities or probabilities of
the crop The possibilities do not appear to
admit of any close approach to full yield,
although fairly good results may be reached
under favoring conditions through the season.
The winter wheat crop returns do not seem
to Justify much change in estimates. There
are more positive evidences and apprehensions
of injury in many regions, and improvement
in Others The harvesting will be later than
usual as rule, probably averaging ten to fif-
teen days later than ordinarily.
In other crops there is little of special note
that has developed during the week. The oats
crop is doing fairly we'll. The hay crop prom
Uses an abundant yield. The potato crop is
expected to have good start.
In the wheat trade the position appears to
have gained some strength during the week
partly due quite likely to the revival of rains
in various localities i'll the West, the influence
of which is considered as more or less prejudi-
cial.
In the corn trade the price of May contracts
at Chicago was carried to 100 cents on Tues
day, but not maintained-the cornering effort
collapsing, the price dropping at once to co.
cents.
Unless the outlook for the new crop should
very positively improve in the near future the
inclination of Western holders of corn will be
to withhold it from market at least for a
time.
Total wheat on passage this week 29,976,000
bushels, against 80, Az, 900 last week. and A.
704, 900 last year.
Wheat receipts at primary markets were 2,
074, 900 bushels for the week, against 1886, 900
the preceding week, and $4,000 last year.
Corn receipts were /, 245, 900 bushels, against

THE VALLEY OF VIRGINIA.
ITS LOCATION-NATURAL ADVANTAGE
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
ENTERPRISE, ETC.
No. 4.

[Some weeks ago, Mr.. s. J. Barnett, editor
of the Delta Herald, an independent news
paper, published at Delta, York county, Pa,
paid visit to this city and other places in
this Valley, and since his return has pub
lished number of very interesting articles
about the places he visited. The 4th number
is about Staunton, which we copy from his
paper of June 3rd as follows =
In our last letter we alluded to Staunton IS
the chief city in the Valley of Virginia. Be
fore our visit we had thought Sta union a
place of some note, but when we sa the city,
its buildings, streets, public and private enter
prises, and had mingled with its men of bust
ness, we felt little like the queen of Sheba
when she visited Solomon. Considered from
its superb location. its schools and churches,
its SIZE its wealth, its industrial development,
the wealth of its surroundings in mineral and
agricultural products, Staunton is beyond
question the

FINANCIAL,

From the weekly review of Henry Clews
dated June 4th we quote the following
The supreme condition affecting the Stock
Market is the crop prospect as influenced by
the current weather; and that factor is now
less uncertain than it was a week ago. Ex-
peetations as to the wheat crop are improving,
but are still strictly moderate. At the mo-
ment, it seems probable that in some sections
the crop may be poor, while in most it may
prove fair, and in a few really good; still,
these probabilities may easily change within
few days for better or for worse. The June
report of the Department of Agriculture will
be forthcoming in few days, which will af-
ford more definite data than anything yet
forthcoming as to the prospects of Winter
wheat. The prospects of Spring wheat and of
corn must remain in the dark until these crops
have reached the earlier stages of develop
ment. But accepting the most moderate cur
rent expectations as to the wheat crop, the
heavy surplus left over from last year may be
expected to bring up the exportable supply to
about average dimensions. That cannot yet
be said of the corn crop, and that is the fact
which weighs most heavily on the Stock Mar
ket.
The general trade of the country, excepting
the cotton States and California, may be re-
garded as reasonably prosperous. The in
crease of railroad earnings shows that the
volume of products moved exceeds all prece-
dent. Merchanting, though conducted with
conservatism and perhaps generally ON moder-
ate profits, is yet active. In certain trades,
there is an undoubted over-supply of products,
notably so i'll the iron trade, wooden manufac-
lures, and cotton goods. In the two former,
the trouble is perhaps principally due to the
tariff having drawn out increased investments
| III mills; but to the public at large there is an
indirect benefit in cheap goods, and to mer-
chants the advantage of increased sales, whilst
the manufacturers, parties responsible
for the OVERRIDING, submit to the inevi-
table process of weeding-out those least fitted
to survive the ordeal of competition. In all
this, however, the suffering is confined to one
restricted class, while all others are indirectly
benefited. The cheapness of iron is creating
an unequalled consumption of that staple, ant
the railroads are benefiting through being abb
to make liberal Improvements at much below
the usual rate of cost
Taking the situation and the prospects as
whole, we construe them as fairly favorabl
to securities; but at the moment there are Ger
tain undeyeloped factors which tend to hol,
conservative operators in check and we there
fore, for the present, counsel buying on drop
and realizing upon moderate profits.

what is perhaps the largest and most valuable
body of hardwood timber in the United
States. The numerous ranges and spurs of
the Appalachian mountain system, with the
farming valleys between, are covered over
great portion of their surface with hickory,
ash, locust, red cedar, maple, birch, white and
yellow tulip poplar, black walnut, cherry,
chestnut, white oak, and other less valuable
varieties of timber. The Appalachian system
of mountains, with the valleys between, and
the hilly land on each side of the system, is
$50 miles wide at Staunton, extending from
Charlottesville, at the eastern base of the Blue
Ridge to the Ohio River. This wide belt of
tim bered territory extends from Pennsylvania
on the north to Alabama on the south, in
Guiding almost the whole of West Virginia,
and strip SO miles wide from the western
edge of Virginia 1t contains, besides the
varieties of hardwood named. many extensive
| forests of white pine view pine or spruce and
| hemlock East of the Blue Ridge, in south
eastern Virginia, and in North Carolina, there
| is an enormous quantity of practically I'M
touched yellow pine, known in the north as
southern hard pine, the strongest, most dura-
Bile, and most valuable of all pines"
Though we have by no means exhausted
the list of natural advantages possessed by the
Queen City of the Valley" yet let this suf-
| flee to show that Staunton is surpassed in this
regard by but few cities in this or any other
country.
| The South has always depended on the
North and Europe for nearly all of its manu-
! featured articles. In recent years the fires of
| manufacturing industry have been lighted in
Birmingham, Ala, Chattanooga, Tenn, At
| lanta, Ga, and other cities, principally by
northern capitalists. But Staunton, by the
enterprise of its own people, has long been a
manufacturing city on more or less extern
sive scale Within the past few years many
new industries have been started so that now
this city has many of the characteristics of
northern cities. Among these industries are
such as foundry and machine shops, marble
and granite works, large Touring mills,
there are six of these mills, some of which
have capacity of 400 barrels day. plan
| ing mills, 2 brick works, book bindery, sash,
door and blind factories, gas works, and facto-
ries for the manufacture of furniture, porta-
BILE houses, ice, carriages, wagons cigars, mat
tresses, fertilizers, patent medicines mineral
waters barrels, upholstery, and many othel
articles.

nUa IN Iowa.
orrUMwA, Ia, Nov. l0.-A fearful
catastrophe occurred on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul road last night ut
Highland Center, small station north
Oithis city. A fast freight train dashed
into tho caboose of local freight train
standing ON tho track, telescoping the
CHOOSE and four cars. The eaboo5e
caught fire and tho scene was heartrend--
ing. Four people were burned alive and
anumber OF others had narrow escapes.
The caboose was split in two by u car
Of grain, wedding in four people on the
right side. The most pitiful case was
Miss Lizzie Butler, OF this city. who got
her head out OF window and plead
With those about to save her, but her
body was caught BY freight car and 1t
was impossible to save her. Mrs. Jones,
OF this city, tried to escape through n
window. but she was large woman
and could not succeed. The other vic
tins were an unknown woman aud an
unknown man.
The latter is thought to be a butcher
from 0skaloosa. Tho injured are Miss
Clyde Millsack and Mrs Pickett, OF this
city, and Miss Lizzie Corey, of Sigour-
ney. They are badly burned, but not
fatally. A curious incident was that
one ofthe passengers was disguised and
in the crash the disguise came off, re-
vealing a noted crook. He quickly dis
appeared in the excitement.
