COMMERCIAL And FINANCIAL
THE GRAIN TRADE-CROPs. sc.

The Cincinnati Price Current of May Both,
says:
1.-The past week has been one of unsettled
sentiment concerning wheat trade interests,
and the markets have been irregular and
widely changeable, closing higher than a
week ago, the extreme point reached at Chi
cago having been 43c higher than in the pre-
ceding week. These conditions have been the
result of various influences. which have en-
couraged an unusual speculative interest, and
operations of this kind in the influential mar
kets have been of great proportions.
The striking advance in wheat values has
been of little benefit to the producing interest,
| from the fact that comparatively small
quantity has been held in first hands until
the rise, and this small quantity chiefly rep
resents the stronger class of producers. The
mass of wheat farmers are not benefciaries in
this advance, and it is problematical if these
prices be sustained when they have the new
crop ready.
| Our correspondence confirms the previous
intimations of serious damage to the winter
wheat crop in Large portion of the area in
| the central regions. In view of the interest
manifest in the outlook of this portion of the
crop we have madea careful approximation
for the several prominent States, and a gen.
eral estimate for all others, and reach the
conclusion that the present indications are not
| favorable for more than 600 bushels
of winter wheat, including the Pacific Coast,
or approximately 70, 100000 bushels less than
last year. With a good out-turn of spring
wheat the total will manifestly not allow any
thing like the usual surplus for expectation
the coming year. In other words, the total
crop promise may be counted as not exceed
ing 425, 900 0O0 the marketable surplus to be
25, 900, 000-these quantities making supply
of 450, 100000, while the home requirements
for the year may be counted as approximate
ly 375, 100000.
The corn and oats crops have had draw
backs to contend with, but the outcome may
be fairly satisfactory.
The prolonged lack of moisture is shorten
ing the prospective yield of hay, and this crop
now promises to be deficient in large breadth
of the Western regions.
July wheat at Chicago closed 1sc below the
highest point of the week, sec above the
lowest point, and 25c higher than a week ago.
Corn at Chicago for July closed &c below
the highest point of the week, 12c above the
lowest point, and lie lower than a week ago.
Wheat receipts at primary markets were l.
654 600 bushels for the week. against 1886, 900
the preceding week, and 574, 900 last year.
Corn receipts were 2,70S,0 900 bushels, against
$4,000 the preceding week, and 2,733, 900
last year"

Rise In the PricO of Wheat,

The Baltimore Sun says the reason
given for Sthe advance of wheat and
cotton is instructive. 1t occurs, accord
ing to all authorities, because there is,
or is believed to be, an impending de-
ficiency of supply. For various reasons
the crops of wheat and cotton are ex-
pected to be shorter in this country
and Argentina than in recent years.
The surplus from previous years that
has hung like cloud over the wheat
and cotton markets and depressed
prices is now much diminished and it's
influence is less felt. 1t was this sur
plus and continued excessive produc-
ton, in addition to the increased facili-
ties of transportation and foreign COM
potion, it lis seen, not the appreeia-
ton of gold, that caused the fall of
prices, and it is the disappearance of
the first of these adverse causes, not
any increased volume of silver, that
accounts for the rise. These evident
facts are worth a ton of theory in sup
port of sound money doctrine.

Fighting in FOrmOsa.
by Cable to the Herald. !


London, May 81, 1854 despatch to
the Times from Hong Kong says the
Japanese landed at Kelung, Formosa,
on May 30, and that fighting began on
May 81.
A despatch to the Globe from Shang-
hal says the japanese have landed on
Palm Island, north eff Kelung, For
mosa, where they met with determined
and powerful resistance. The ia
panese, however. gradually drove the
Chinese defenders of the island back
and the fighting was at last accounts
still in progress.
The steamer Martha, belonging to
Tang, the rebel governor of Formosa,
but sailing under the German flag. is
reported to have returned to China af-
ter having landed men and munitions
of war sent to Formasa by Chang Chi
Tung, the Viceroy of Marking.
The Times will tomorrow publish a
despatch from Tien-Tsin saying that
the Japanese are evacuating the Iiao-
Tung peninsula, and that the move
movement will be completed in ten
days.

The ProperVieW.

The Shenandoah Herald takes the proper
view. and thinks it time for the surrounding
towns to raise their guarantees against Staun-
ton. 1t says, in its issue of Friday last
with the present quarantine regulations of
Staunton there is evidently little or no danger
in visiting that city. The loss, in business
view, to the citizens of that city must be i'm
mense and it would be an act of courtesy upon
the part of the other towns of the Valley to
raise their guarantees at the earliest possible
moment. In our opinion, it could be safely
done at once
There is absolutely no necessity whatever to
quarantine against Staunton at this time, e1-
granting that there was several weeks ago.
and we do not believe there was any necessity
then-for it is as safe to come to Staunton as
to go to any other city.

A GREAT SLAYER.

As competition increases it becomes harder
and harder for the business man to succeed,
and in recognition of this fact, the public is
often informed that this or that thing has
come to stay" A strong purpose is good, but
doing the thing is even better. One of the
greatest stayers we know of is Pain. Killer, the
advertisements of which we are printing else
where. This famous old family remedy has
stayed in the homes of the country So years,
and is to-day more popular than ever. This
one fact proves its value, and makes argument
unnecessary. 1t only remains for the proprie-
tors. Gas they are now doing to remind each
Pain-Ki ller has been recognized as the handi-
est surest and cheapest cure for the common
ills of humanity, and that a bottle on their
shelf will sooner or later save them trouble

Spirit of the Valley on the Small
Pox Scare,

The head of the editor of the Spirit of the
Valley is leyel on the smallpox scarce. He
has not been frightened out of his senses, and
takes proper view of the matter, and it
would have been better for the reputation of
Harrisonburg, if its authorities, and its citi-
zens generally, had taken the same view and
preserved their equanimity instead of yield
ing to imaginary fears. We take pleasure in
copying from the Spirit Of the Valley the fol
lowing extracts which contrast so favorably
with notices of some other papers,
Staunton seems to have the smallpox under
control, and we think all this quarantining
against her is not only foolish, but unneigh-
borly.
Every sensible man knows that our so call
ed quarantine does not amount to pinch of
Woodstock and Charlottesville have made
themselves.
All those complimentary things which were
said about Harrisonburg, because her authori-
ties at first had the good sense not to quaran-
tine against our sister town. Staunton, will
now have to be taken back. since our authori-
ties got scared out of their proprieties
Before Staunton knew how to deal with
smallpox Harrisonburg refused to quarantine
against her, but as soon as Staunton got the
disease under control, and when there was
absolutely no danger, our authorities sudden
ly lost their heads and tumbled over each
other in their haste to escape from an imagin-
airy danger.
We do not believe that the people of Staun-
ton or its Board of Health have suppressed
anything in regard to the smallpox which
they have there in mild FORM We believe
the official reports of the Board of Health
have been full and accurate 1t is generally

absolutely false. The strictest quarantine pos

tendency to keep off this loathsome disease
