Brcads,urrs and Provisions.

CHICAGO. March 9.-Numerous crop
damage reports to-day together with
revival OF the export demand caused
a sharp reaction In wheat. and May
closed at an advance OF lGllhc. Corn
gained 1sc and oats &c, Pork left off
nc lower and lard ana ribs unchanged.
The prospect for any Improvement in
the value OF wheat looked very slim at
the commencement. The only point for
bulls was the Michigan State crop re-
port which said that four-Gtths of the
correspondents declared wheat had been
seriously damaged by cold.
On the other hand Liverpool cables
came 1sG&d Lower, California had re-
ceived n sprinkling of rain and Russia
officially reported last seasons winter
crop II per cent larger than year ago,
with spring crops better by il per cent.
There was n large increase In North
west receipts, Minneapolis and Duluth
receiving 5Se cars OF wheat. double the
number received the same day last
year. The Price Current was rather
bearish. May wheat opened unchanged
at 10a@701Sc. and on liquidation got
down to roc. Al this point, however,
the crop news received from country
correspondents of commission ouses
became worse and more positive about
the injury done than has previously
been the case. California dispatches
said the rain had been Inadequate. and
that the condition of the winter wheat
was stifi very poor. Kansas City re-
ported 100000 bushels OF wheat sold
there for export to be shipped via Gulf
ports. and New York claimed q better
foreign demand and several boatloads
accepted. Shorts In the meantime had
covered freely. Atlantic port clear
ances Of wheat and flour cQualled $4,000
bushels. The market became very
strong In the last hour. California sent
further dry weather dispatches aud
frost damage reports were as numcr-
Gus rs the war time complaints about
canned roast beef The heavy pur-
chascs for export also stimulated the
demand. In the end there was little.
wheat for sale and much wanted. May

TO 1113c. The current price Mt the close
was 7lNc.
The strength In corn was due appar-
emily to continued confidence In the
short crop theories OF the bulls. Re-
cc!pts were light. 372 cars and country
offerings small. There was good cash
inquiry from the East for immediate
shipment. May opened shade higher

After holding around the latter figure

Michigan Democracy

KALAMAZOO. Mich. March s.
Thomas E. Barkworth. a leading attor-
neH of jackson, was nominated this
afternoon, by the Democratic state con-
rention for Justice OF the supreme court.
He received 4S2 of the 772 delegates
votes cast on the first ballot. and it was
made unanimous. The contest was
wholly between Mr., Barkworth and ex-
Justice Allan b. Morse, the four other
candidates having withdrawn before the
first ballot was completed. Prior to the
convention II was asserted and deaied
that Judge Morsc's sympathicsi In the last
presidential campaign were with the
gold standard Democracy, and this is
believed TO have affected the result.

Of the day was counter part OF the

More Prospectors.

Repeated attempts have been made
in past years by capitalist from the
North, as we'll as a number from this
section to find coal in sufficient guam
tity and of such quality as would justify
the esta blishment of mine at North
River Gap or whereabouts. A party
of gentlemen from New York, repre-
senting considerable amount of
wealth, arrived in the city Saturday,
and after laying in supply OF mining
implements. proceeded to that point
for the purpose of locating the coal
which is said to exist there in large
veins, and should their prospecting re,
suit successfully company will be
formed to mine the coal, and arrange
ments will be made for an outlet to
market.
Through the influence of VIM. G
Kinney, foI merly of Stanton, these
gentlemen we're induced to make this
tour of inspection, and they brought
with them an expert geolOgist tina

Railroad Gossip.

The Richmond Dispatch of last
Sunday contained the following good
news in its mention of matters per
tanning to railroads:
1t is predicted that within a brief
period work will be begun on the pro-
posed Staunton and Augusta railroad
from Stanton to Stuart's Draft. Talk
of the road has been in progress for
some time, but has recently been re-
vived. The company is organized with
Mr.. E. G Vincent, of StauntOn, presi
dent. The money for the construc-
ton of the road is said to be about in
sight.
The proposed road will run from
Stanton to Stuart's Draft, distance
of twelve miles. At the latter point it
ail, connect with the Shenandoah Val
ley Division of the Norfolk and West
ern, which runs from Roanoke to Hag-
erstown. The Norfolk and Western
station for Staunton at present is
Waynesboro, where change is made
to the Chesapeake and Ohio.

Good Roads Committee Appointed.

The time nee sssary o hear from the
several communities has &C ;e stoned
some delay in announcing the commit
tee authorized to be appointed by the
Good Roads Association of Augusta
county, at it's recent organization.
In selecting the committee the pur
pose has been to choose those who
were in sympathy with.the movement,
but care has also been taken to have
that element represented that oppose
bond issue or any marked increase in
the tax levy, in order that all phases
of the questi On may be thoroughly dis
cussed SO that the result reached shall
be founded upon wise business princi-
pals rather than be born of an en-
thusiasm which sometimes runs not
with reason.
1t is believed that the personnel OF
the committee will carry with it the
confidence of the people, and it is sin
cerely hoped that out of their delib|r-
ations will speedily grow that comfort
which is sought for man and beast in
in well graded. macadamized roads
throughout the county. Following are
the names of the gentlemen composing
