Major Benteen served through the war, and at rt- its close was made o mujor in the newly organizod colored regiment, the Ninth, Ho cavalierly declined the appointment, saying that he would rather be a captain in a white regiment than a major of a colored one, and was accordingly made a ptain in the Seventh, After serving twelve years as n captain, Captain Been- teen was promoted to be a major, and by a strango chance his promotion brought him into the very regiment & majorship in wh ho declined twelve yours before.

The strength in both of these products was largely due to spoculation; loss 50 porhaps in corn than in wheat, for which there is now a great export and home trade. These absorb the bulk of deliveries from the hands of farmers and prevent any material inerease in stoeks at commercial centers. The movement of supplics hus fallen off owing partly to the exhaustion of stocks and partly to the advance in t-bound freights. The effect of the splendid crop promise is nin the relative cheapness of next crop oplions, although the latter have advanced slightly this week in sympathy with the strength of the market for nearer deliveries, The improvement in wheat prices is mainly the result of manipulation by the long interests in the speculative market. The legitimate itnation is, however, more encouraging in some respects. A comparison of statistienl statements shows that while the United States visible supp! El sin- creased about 6,000,000 bushels sinee Joly 1, the amount on passage from all parts of the world to Great Britain and the has decreased about 11,000,000 the same time. During the same period last year the increase in the domestie supply was upward of 10,000,000 bushels, while the decrease in afloat stocks whs only 8,500,000 hushels. As fiset to this favorable showing pointed out that the total stocks it chief ports in the United Kingdom have increased nearly 6,000,000 bushels sinee July while the can markets are weighted with a visible supply nearly 20,000,000 bushels Larger than at this time vago. The bulk of this surplus stock is old wheat; which has been carried along from month to month in the hope of an ulti- mate advanee in pricesthat would enable the.“bulls’ to recoup their serious losses. he present bull movement in wheat has the support of §tropg parties in New York and in thoavest, but while there i less reekless hear solling on the Teading exehanges therd is'comparatively little continent bushels In an it s 1y buying, except by professional traders.
