COMMERCIAL and FINANCIAL
THE GRAIN TRADE-CROPs, sc.

The Cincinnati Price Current of March Dist,
says:
r"Cold weather was the feature at the begin
ming OF the week now ended. and while there
has been moderating conditions since then
there has been absence of growing weather
throughout the week. Thus the wheat plant
Is not having season able growth. and unless
an important change occurs very quickly it
seems almost inevitable that the crop must
suffer considerable impairment, although
much of it is yet spoken of in favorable terms.
Regions west of the Mississippi. in Kansas
and Missouri, are now reporting more dis
couraginply. Other sections for the most
part report about as previously A full sur
vey of the crop indicates that the average of
condition is hardly Inaint aimed.
There is a continuance of almost uniform
mention of small offerings and low stocks of
wheat in the interior, with difficulty on the
part of millers in securing supplies. In fact
many mills are unable to fill current calls up
on them, from lack of ability to procure
wheat. Flour dealers in market centers are
reducing stocks. being unable to secure new
supplies as fast as sales are being effected
The wheat situation is an unusual and in
teresting one. With all the evidence Of low
supplies outside of visible stocks there is apa-
thy in the markets. There is enough of bull
talk, and it is the undue expectancy as to
what is to happen which has made it posi-
BILE for the bear operators to reap reward by
selling at times of stimulation from other
than demand for the product. The past suf-
ferings of traders actuated by undue expect
ancy have brought encouragement and dis
trust when the situation presents elements
calculated to be helpful in tendency to high
er prices. 1t is not clear. however, that for
eign markets will require our surplus of
wheat in the next three months at any great
premium.
There appears TO DC easier prices for feed
material in many sections and fair supplies
of corn, hay. etc. The oats crop is pretty
closely marketed, and farmers have contem-
plated full area in this grain, but seeding is
being delayed by weather conditions aud NAV
result in curtailment of calculations"

The EIopers Stopped at Longdale.

Referring to the elopement few weeks ago
of Henry Armentrout of Port Republic, with
Miss Painter of Mt. Crawford, the Port Re-
public correspondent of the Rockingham
Register says that on Thursday week Mrs
Armentrout received telegram from tn e
Chief of Police of Clifton Forge telling her
her recreant husband and his fair but frail COM
panion were in that place. Accompanied by
John Roger, Mrs. Armentrout took the noon
traiu for Clifton Forge. She found her hus-
band. but not his companion. What passed
will never be known. But Armentrout refus-
ed to return to Port, telling her if she would
move to Clifton Forge he would live with and
support her. She has returned to Port Re-
public, and, we suppose, will stay here, but we
don't know, for the ways of woman are past

in due time arrived at Longdale and imposed
upon Mrs. Love as man and wife The desert

Upon arriving here she was recognized by Mr..

to aid her Armentrout was brought by the
officer to Clifton Forge and confronted by the
wife. He expressed deep penitence, promised
to abandon the wicked woman and to hence

promises Mrs. Armentrout returned to her
home with the understanding that as soon as
her husband could obtain work he would send
for his family and care for them. This he has
failed to do, and therefore deserves whatever
punishment the law is capable of melting out.
No sooner had he gotten rid of his wife and
children than he notified his paramour of the
fact. and with her left for some point west.
The parties in this unfortunate episode reside
near Port Republic. Mrs. Armentrout was a

When Easter Comes.

Easter comes at different times in differen
years. Easter occurs on the first Sunday at
ter the full moon which succeeds the 2lst o
March, and if the 2lst of March be Sunda,
and the moon is full on that day, the mex
Sunday will be Easter, so Easter may come a
early as March 2sth. This year Easter is tn
l4th of April:
Thirty days hath September"
Every person can remember;
But to know when Casters come
Puzzles even scholars some.
When March the twenty-frst ispast
Just watch the si!very moon.
And when you see it full and round,
Know Easter II be here soon.
After the moon has reached its full,
Then Easter will be here,
The Sunday after
In each and every year.
And il it hap on Sunday
The moon should reach its height,
The Sunday following this event
Will be the Easter bright.

Joseph Jackson, ex-member OF the
Indiana Legislature, committed suicide
at Laporte, Ind, last Thursday, by
shooting himself. Dependency over
defeat at the last election is the cause
assigned.
The trial of Eugene V. Debs and 9TH

day in May. The action of the court
in setting date for the trial dissipates
the belief which was general in labor
