Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-Corn is regarded
as in a break-buy position despite the
advance. Receipts are increasing, but
shipments are good. Shows report is
due today and should be around 60 to
81 condition. The continued drouth of
the past two weeks is accepted as hav-
ing hurt corn. There are good reports
from section, but Missouri, Nebraska
and Kansas send gloomy reports. If
the corn crop had received normal
July and August rains this September
weather would be accounted ideal.
Cash corn in the west is again higher
at 73c to TIC. No corn has been de-
livered. Wheat deliveries are liberal.
Red wheat is declared quite scarce
comparatively Percentage of hard
wheat seeded in central west has been
very large, consequently hard wheat is
offered on delivery. No. red at Chi
cago is 312c to &c above the Septem.
Der price. Further advances are ex
pected in Toledo red wheat. No.
hard at Chicago is about 1c premium
rough and No. l northern spring is
&c to sc premium over the Septem
Der wheat price. Generous reports OF
heavy wheat grinding for feed rein
force these premiums in favor of wheat
purchases. The winter wheat seeding
situation does not improve. This last

age. Corn has bulled so easily that 6

raiders were still aggressive. When the
report of the scout reached him the
action at Rocky Gap had been fought
and that without his help.
Mountain Gorge and Stockade.
Early on the Goth Averell formed his
column for n march over the noun
tains to White Sulphur Springs. Baron
Won Koenig had warned him that the
region south swarmed with Confeder-
scattered attachments was over. The
road ahead was extremely rough and
the first ten miles of march led across
two mountain ranges.
About the middle of the forenoon
Van Koenig. who was far ahead as
usual. sent back word that he had en-
countered the Confederates in strength
and needed achievements. Two squad
rons were despatched at gallop and
soon came back the sound of cannon,
indicating that Won Koenig had not
overstated the Confederate strength.
The column had marched twelve
miles from its night camp. When the
message came from the front it had
entered a narrow pass which opened
on the south into q valley about one
miles in length. The valley was inclos-
ed on both sides by rugged mountain
heights covered with stunted trees. As
soon as the Federals emerged from the

non. Averell posted a regiment on
each of t:-- SUBMITS at the right and
left of the valley. and under their pro-
lection stationed Ewing's battery to
answer the enemy's guns. Ewelrs fire
was brisk and accurate More FederRls
poured through the pass into the val
ley. Then it was that the Confeder.
ates disclosed their tactics.
Not until the night of the 25th did
General Jones rest satisfied that Aver
ell was not going to Staunton. but had
taken up his march toward White Sui
phur Springs. Picking up Colonel G
| S. Patton's brigade at Monterey he
made a roundabout night march and
reached Rocky Gap just as Won KOenii
rode into the pass at the north end OF
the little valley. Awaiting Averell':
main column he made a weak show Of
opposition while Rocky Gap. at hi
end Of the valley, was being prepared
for defense.
Fighting at One Hundred Yards.
The Confederates appeared to Civ,
way and fell back to a new position
stronger than the first pass. Theil
right rested upon a rocky prominence
and their left and center were pro
tected by stOckades made of fence rails
Averell ran his battery to within Co
yards of the gap, TO the cover of /,
farm house and Outbuildiug. Await
ing only few shots the Confederate
sailed and drove the guns away. A
soon as the battery was clear Of tn
house Averell opened on 1t with shell
and prevented the enemy from gettin
possession. The outposts were nov
within one hundred yards of eacI

possible for either side and the after

Warfare All Along the March.

Averells column comprised four regi-
ments of West Virginia troops, native
to the mountains and the Fourteenth
Pennsylvania cavalry. with Ewing's
horse battery. About the time that
the raiders left Winchester General ].
D. Imboden. bold Confederate leader
native to the region, started south with
column. following roads farther west
than those taken by the enemy. He
hoped to beat Averell in the race and
unite his own force with the native
defenders of the district threatened by
the raid.
Averell kept out a slender advance
guard led by his aid-de-camp, Captain
Baron Paul Won Koenig. a venturesome
foreign volunteer. Soon after leaving
Winchester Won Koenig picked up ten
of Imboden's scouting troopers and
that was the beginning of constant
warfare en- route between the two
columns.
Having been instructed to halt at
Petersburg for supply Of shoes and
nails which would be sent after him to
put his horses in condition for a long
| march, Averill went into camp and
sent out foragers. The troopers car
| ried bread, coffee and sugar in their
| haversacks, but men and horses lived
| off the country for the rest. The roam,
| ing foragers discovered that the region
was alive with enemies.
Colonel w. L. Jackson of the Confed.
| crate force in the Shenandoah was sta,
toned around Staunton, at the head
of the valley. Believing that the raid.
ers were aiming for that point, be
warned Imboden and also the chief OF
! the department, General Sam Jones
| The alarmistS overdid their role. Jack
| son ordered his scattered detachment
TO rally, for the cover Of Staunton. and
Jones sent TO General r. e. Lee at his
camps on the Rapidan to forward a
brigade of infantry and one OF cavalry
to the scene. A little more daring and
the raiders might have been trapped.
In the Mountain Passes.
After waiting a week Averell decid
ed that longer delay was more risky
than to go without shoes. He marched
rapidly to Monterey, only forty miles
from Stanton. only to learn that I'm
boden had been there the day before
and intended to attack the Federals al
Petersburg. Imboden heard OF Aver
ellis approach and stationed a detach
ment in the passes of the Allegheny
range to ambush the raiders should
