LOCAL STOCK MARKET.
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, H., March 2.-There were
plenty of legitimate reasons for an adj
vance in wheat to-day, and the market
up to late hour did show a great deal
of strength. May closed at an advance
of 13s cents. Shorts in July, however,
got filled up and that option closed *
cent lower than yesterdays final price.
Corn and oats suffered somewhat from
closing out of long lines, corn closing
Ad3s cent lower and oats 1sdH cent
lower.
Provisions were dull and showed very
little change at the close.

Situated twenty miles west of Peters
burg and within four of the Norfolk and
Western r. r. The tract contains two
thousand three hundred and fifty-seven
acres, about one-ffth of which is table
land and rich creek bottom, the uplands
are gently undulating; not hill ON the
place. Soil is a clay loan and very pro-
ductiYe, the bottoms are as fine timothy
lands as any in the State and produce
heavy crops of grain. The farm is
beautifully watered by springs and
streams. There are two residences
(abOut one and half miles apart; one
contains eleven large rooms, several
halls, CLOSETS, pOrches, &C., the other
six rooms. There are the usual farm
houses such as barns, tenant houses,
granary, &c.
Some excellent fruit-Apples, Peaches.
Cherries, Grapes, &c. There is not
more delightful home or healthier one
in the State. / am too old to manage
it, and to make a speedy sale offer it
at the low price of Twelve dollars per
acre, less than L have ever offered it.
This tract would cut up into dozen
fine farms, but / wish TO sell it as a
whole. Deer, Turkey, Quail, &c, in
abundance.

The above is from the ''Turf Field

called Mill Quarter" l purchased it
last fall and am now the owner instead
Of J. G. Griffin. l have offered it for

per acre instead of Twelve. Adjoining
lands are held at higher prices. Capt.
Griffin was offered twenty-five thOus-
and dollars cash for the farm and re-
fused it, holding them at $500 per acre.
There is a fine opportunity for some one
to buy this place, cut it UP into small
farms and make FIVE thousand dollars Of

amount of work to be apportioned
among the several counties according
to the property taxed. All counties
might not wish to avail themselves of
the state aid at first, not wishing to
furnish the other two thirds. Their
share could be divided among the
other counties that wanted it, and
they take their share later. Ut might
be that the state could furnish more
than their third in this way.)
A little good road in many places
where the farmers could use it would
settle the problem of good roads. They
would see the advantage and the cost
would not come so high.
From six to eight months the year
could be spent in road work, and
Yankee ingenuity, if it tried, could
easily provide some suitable work for
the balance of the year that would be
for the public good and not interfere
with established industries. There
would be nothing unusually unhealthy
about road work.
