Reason for Past Neglect.

There is reason for past neglect to
honor the commander OF the Army OF
the Potomac--for Meade bore that
title from the date of the battle Of
Gettysburg up to the very close Of the
war. although of course General Grant
was in chief command Of the armies
which pressed on to Richmond. A
great many military authorities hold
that Meade ought TO have followed up
his Gettysburg victory by the pursuit
OF General Lee. It has been held that
he could have crushed Lees army If
he had made vigorous pursuit and
successive assaults.
There are other military authorities
who say that Meade knew what he
was doing. and that the circumstances
of the case did not admit OF a rapid
and effective following Of General
Lees retreating army. II makes lit
tie difference on which side Of the
controversy merit lies. Tho fact re-
mains that the supposed inactivity Of
Meade after the battle Of Gettysburg

STILL SAGGlNG

Bradstreet's February 1S.-Demand
and supply conditions as well as
politics have operated to depress,
prices of commodities, and despite,
some slight rallying tendencies late in
the week, quotations tend to seek an
export basis. This is most especially
true of the cereal markets, with wheat
leading the decline and food products
as a whole sagging in unison. Present
plenty has been the main depressing
feature for some time past in wheaC,
of the year being feature, but of late
the improved prospects of reciprocity
have been an additional weight on
the market, and this week rains in the
drought-stricken southwest have added
to the ease. Winter wheat is 5 cents
off from February 1, and 80 cents
bushel lower than year ago. Flour
