Well. Cleveland and Hendricks are f leeted. 
Tbeir plurality in this, the pivotal State is 
1,141— not enough to brag about, but enough 
to decide the contest. The Southern negroes 
appear to be greatly alarmed at the result, 
fearing the election of a Democrat means a 
return to slavery. It will bewail forthe Dem¬ 
ocrats to allay all foolish notions of that sort— 
four years hence there will be another elec¬ 
tion. The 110,000 office holders are anxious 
for thejr places. Among them they contri¬ 
buted the pittance of $40.000—about 23 cents 
each—toward the success of the party that 
put them in office. It is highly probable they 
will lose th'dr offices as well as their 88 cents.

liquor men. Nineteen saloon keepers were 
sued by the Citizens’ League, which asked the

Saturday, November 22. 
Tbo Mark Lane Express, in its weekly re¬ 
view of the corn trade, says: The weather the 
past week was much colder. There were 
frostv nights and heavy fogs, which were un¬ 
favorable for thrashing. Vahus continue in 
favor of buyers. The sabs of E igU-h wheat 
during the week were 59.326 quarters at 31s 
5<l. compared with 67,715 quarters at 40s 3d 
for the corresponding week last year. Barley 
is cheaper, except the finest samples, which 
were scarce. Trade fu foreign grain is in buy¬ 
ers’ favor. There were large Imports last 
week from America. In the off-coast, trade 
is trifling. Two c-nrgoes arrived, four were 
sold, one w ithdrawn and two remained. Four¬ 
teen cargoes are now- due Cirgoes afloat or 
for shipment are neglected and values nom¬ 
inal. The cold w-eatber caused seller* to hard¬ 
en pricea. Thp wheat, trade is greatly de- 
pre-sed and very little business is being trans¬ 
acted throughout, tin* country It t* the same 
wit h flour ; foreign flour is from 6d to Is lower. 
Maize is scarce and firm English malting 
barleys are dearer, but the inferior grades are 
Is cheaper. New- oats are 6d to 1* lower. 
The cable announces that the Ta* iff Com¬ 
mittee of the Chamber of Deputies of France, 
bv a vote of six to five, has approved of the 
principle of increasing the import duties on 
corn and flotir. it resolved, however, to con¬ 
fer with the Government, regarding the 
amount of i ho increase. The effect of this 
will, ot course, be to increase the dury upon 
American o-reals w bicb mav lie exported to 
France. How about our deferred policy of 
retaliate’ti? I be tidal amount, of our exports 
of breadstuffs to France for the last fiscal 
year, the official returns of which have been 
published—the year 1388—were a® fo.lows; 
Corn. I,617.9‘i8 bushels, value. $l,077,0o0; in- 
man corn-meal, barrels. 127, value. $495; 
wheat, bushels, 15J96.712. value. $17,173,480; 
wheat floor, barrets. 63,223, value. $355,672. 
This Is a con parativeh small percentage of 
the total value of our exports to all coun¬ 
tries. w hich in some years were of the value 
of $208,040,850. 
Prices of hreadstuffs during the week have 
declined steadily, and there are no indications 
yet that the bottom is close ut hand. Flour 
is weaker and tends to concessions by holders. 
Exports have been smaller and production 
continues very heavy. Full immediate and 
prospective supplies of wheat at home and 
abroad check export purchases. Phenom¬ 
enally low prices prevent extensive short 
sales. British stocks are smuller than last 
year, but ours are larger. The bears have 
refused to touch corn in view of low prices, 
the near approach of tue new crop and the 
favorable weather for curing it. llmee lignt 
stocks have failed thus far to furnuu ike null 
speculators with au opportunity to squeeze 
their opponents and engineer a rise. Hog 
products have been cbea;*cr. in s> mpatny 
with corn aud owing to unexpectedly free 
receipts of hogs. The relative cheapness of 
corn, as compared with tne price at wdieh 
hogs are selling, should eueourage the far- 
rneis to ship fewer hogs until alter fattening 
them at least to last year's average of weight. 
Lard has declined j^e. per pound, aud pork 
$1.25 per Darrel.
