Com MERCIAL And FINANCIAL
THE GRAIN TRADE-CROPs. &C.

The weather continues dstressingly dry in
Augusta county and in all our section of the
Valley, as it is generally throughout the coun-
try. Our wheat crop was cast in good time,
but the lack of moisture is beginning to leave
bad effects
In the West there has been more rainfall
than on the Atlantic slope, but it was not
generally distributed.
"a report from Odessa, Russia, October 8,
to the London Daily News says: In the gov
eminent there has been no rain for over two
months, while over two-thirds of the whole
grain-growing region of South Russia, rain
has not fallen for nearly four months. Any
attempt to plough the hardbaked soil breaks
the plough-share. The outlook is very grave
indeed. The winter wheat will probably be
total failure. The peasant cultivatOrs are al
ready in state of despair, and there is wide
spread and bitter murmurs against the Gov
eminent for permitting by the premature and
entire removal of the export prohibition
scarcity of grain which may be sorely needed
for food-stuf before next years harvest. I'm
less timely provision be made by the Gov
eminent there can be little doubt that, in
some of the northern governments more espe-
cially, there will this winter recur a famine
little less acute than that of last year"
For several weeks, we have noted the gradual
improvement in the pig iron trade, which
continues.

In Memoriam.

In Augusta county, Virginia, at Bonnie Doom
Oct. 11th 1892, departed this life, Mrs. Permelia
G. Crawford, relict of the late Col. Samuel D.
Crawford.
''After life's ftful scenes are DER, she sleeps
welP'-under the greensward and daisies, neal
the home of her happy life time, near the blue
mountains which emboSOm the green valley
near the river whose waters melt into music
at the mill, there; in her silent home, matched
with anchors and crowns of lii es and roses
imperiShable because of the tears wherewith
they be washed, she sleeps well.
Mrs. Crawford was an emmett woman: be
cause of the nobility of her presence and the
matchlesS candOr Of her sweet cXpreSsiOn-n
guiSe was about her kind look, save i'll those
cOlors with which angels paint the cheeks of
artleSs modeSty; with rare intellectual endow-
ments, her mind was of that vigorous mould,
incissive almost to prescience; generous, just,
true, loving, her adherence to tie path of duty
was as unerring as sublime.
The mutations Of life brought dun days to
the subject of this sketch, but upon the Rock
OF Ages, they broke into the passing brightness
of the light of the higher hope In 1851, her
husband was bereft of his eyeSight and this
bereavement brought added cares and bur
denS, assumed and some with heroiSm; her
only brother. the gallant Capt. Idchard Sims,
fell for his country, shot upon the battlefield;
followed this, the death Of Colonel Crawford;
left his mother to go to his father, but endur-
ing these sad losses, the mothers grief was hid
in her great heart, while from her benign face
there shone the while, the CHEEKY light of q
pure soul. ('Bear with me: my heart iS''-at
the old home again, as in the days long agone,
WITH cn1ValrOuS, SlIUeu, nduuSOIue, IOVdUle
poor Tom, when, from the Orchard-apple
blossoms and bird carols were borne upon the
perfumed wings of the sweet south wind, and
all nature seemed q benedictiOn. Sic transit
gloria mltndi.)
Mrs. Crawford was member OF the Presby-
terrain church and Of the congregation at Mt.
Horeb. Among her last eXpreSSi. ms are those
remembered by her pastor as pointing plainly
to the abundance of the riches of her inheri-
tance beyond the skies. OF the interesting
family of the deceased, the survivors are: Prof
Alex. Crawford, Surgeon n. H. Crawford, b U s.
N. Charles ID. Crawford, Mrs. Walker, Mrs
Roller, Mrs. Elliot.
May the priceless recollections focused upon
beautiful Bonnie Doom, the precious lessons it
recalls and the boundless lore their mother
gave these children, lead them on, through life,
up, through death. into those mansions not
made with hands eternal in the heavens, and
