Closing quotations showed an improvement from to percent for the day. There was some large and strong buying for bull account. A noticeable featureof the baying to day was increased idrs from the west Thecontinued improvement Is partly due to the better outlook of the general situation, notably activity in the fall trade and Improved crop accounts from the ! we-t.

The wheat market wa. lower, dull and weak. No. 2 rod wa9 freely OflVred at WXC spot and Ptfc Augut 94c bid. Values are necessarily unsettled by the uncertainty of freights, an advance of 4c bving reported to-day, but not yet established. In fact, It provokes considerable wrangling and takes an indefinite time now-a-dys before dealers will ratify an advance, and thty don't always do it then. In the mean tune, there is more or less speculation on the uncertainty, but the probabilities now point t remunerative rat' s for railroads at an early day. The market for corn is dull and values u nettled, owing to the disturbance in freights. Dealers having orders In hand were bidding about Saturday's prices for spt corn, but derxacd is light. Two cars of yellow sold at 38c, and one cur mixed at 37c. White is easier and dull. Oats are in good supply and freely offered at Saturday's prices. Flour was steady and in moderate demand. Provisions were still strong and prices were shaded higher. County' produce was quiet with a dull market for butter and a fair demand for eggs. The following were the leceipts and shipments of leading articles during the preceding tw-mty-four hours, as reported to the board of trade:

STARTLINGCriminal Disclosures of Gen. William Grose's Transactions as Reyenne Collector. General Tom Browne and His Nolle. To the Editor of the Sentinel: New Castle, lnd., Aug. 14. In looking over the records of the United States district court the other day I found a "little" matter that will be of interest to the voters of the Sixth congressional district just at this time. The docket of that court for 1868 has recorded in its pages the following cause: "United States of America vs. "Wm. Grose," and on the opposite page: "Xollied December 1, 1808," written in the italic band of that great "meat" eating hero, Gen. Tom Browne. After seeing this much I had a desire to see the indictment, and having obtained its number an "accqmrnodating" clerk found the desired instrument for me, which I give you below, and it will fully explain itself. I have noticed that this man Grose denies having appropriated to his own use sanitary supplies sent sick and wounded soldiers, and it is a hard matter to prove that he did, though I was there and know that he did. Yet you know a lapse of 14 years blots out almost any crime. He also. denies that he was arrested at Richmond in a vile den of courtezans, and his friends try and explain it away by saying that he was decoyed there by an etoemy. Yet he had been familiar with that city for year. How childlike and blani he must be! I wait with breathless anxiety to see bow he is going to get out of this last charge. There is the indictment; there is the warrant for his arrest, properly indorsed, and his body produced in court, and there is his bond; all in black and white. The rn:ld assurance of one of the clerks of the United States dis trict court that he was afraid that ' we could, not find his case, as the records had beenl' badly kept along about that time did not deter us from finding it Can -Grose now say that be was innocent of tbe charges preferred against him by twelve of his peers? If he was, why did he not court an investigation? Why didn't he go into trial and establish his innocence, and cot fight against a trial until be got Alf Kilgore, who was then United States district prosecuting attorney for the district of Indiana, out of the way and General Tom Browne in his place, whose first act was to enter this nolle? These are questions the voters of tbe Sixth congressional district of Indiana will ask, and have a right to know. No cause is given why the nolle should be entered; yet I know the reason Tom Browne wished to shield his friend Grose from the restraining influences of prison walls; and hot onjy him, but . others who wonld have been exposed by a trial, and save several republican politicians from a fate that afterward overtook numbers of tbe same whisky ring that Grose, Binghams, of Evansville, and others, were at that time forming, and who to-day owe their liberty to the pardonlng power of ex-President Grant, except Bingbam, who has been convicted for years yet has never had sentence passed upon him. And why? I think Grose, Browne & Co. could tell if they were so disposed. But enough for the present; the documents themselves are sufficient 4"or the day thereof: THE INDICTMENT. United States of. America, District of Indiana. In the circuit court of the United States, wlthin'and for the Seventh circuit and district of Indiana, May term, in the year of our Lord 186S, tbe grand Jurors of the United States of America, within and for the Seventh circuit and District of Indiana, impaneled and sworn and charged at the May term of the circuit court of the United Suites f America, within and for the Seventh district circuit and district of Indiana, in the year of our Lord MM, to inquire for the United States Of America, within and for the body In the district aforesaid, upon their oaths present that on the 2;th day of December, in the year of our Lord 17, at and In the circuit and district aforesaid, one Wllila in Grose, late of the circuit and district aforesaid, he, William Grose. blng then and there a collector of internal revenue lor the Fifth collective district of the Btate of Indiana, with force and arms unlawfully, willfully knowingly and feloniously did there and then, fail, neglect and refuse to perform the duties of such collector as required by law, by then and there tailing, neglecting and refusing to seize and hold as forfeited to the United Htates certain property of William D.

f Cost ot Diamond Digging-., ... - - Ci , rscribxer'a Monthly. w ii JL' Diamond digging Is expensive. "We will take, for example, the average digger, who owns a quarter of a claim and works his own ground. He can take his choice, according to locality, of paying from $1,000 to $10,000 for his quarter claim L e., seven and onehalf feet by thirty-one feet It pays best to buy high priced ground. His outfit of digging tools, washing machine, etc., will cost say $1,000. His fang of twenty Kaffirs will cost him $5 each- per week, or $100. One overseer besides himself, $25 per week. Meat and tobacco for Kaffirs, $5 per week extra. Then expanses of carting and taxes will make his total outlay at the least $200 per week, or over $10,000 a year, exclusive of his own expenses of living. If one can not spend $300 per month I believe it is of no use to go to Kimberley to dig for diamonds. To offset this expense is, of course, eood luck in "finding," and from the verv beginning, of operations the digger often no't only clears expenses, but makes a handsome profit. There is no doubt that diamond digging pays two-thirds of those who engage In it well. The fortunes made, as a rule, are small and numerous. Rarely has any one cleared $50,000 from any one claim. Success seems to be very evenly distributed, and chiefly attainable by those who can begin with, say from $3,000 to $5,000 Tbe amount of money paid for . Kaffir labor alone is enormous. For instance there are a thousand wheels; allowing five Kaffirs to each, we have 5,000 laborera daily at the mine. These, at $5 each per week, are paid $25,000, or $100,000 per month, or $1,200,000 per year, and this for $5,000 Kaffirs only. The assessment of the Kimberly mine for the year 1877, simply for the purpose of distribution of rates or taxes, was $5,151,500, or about $7,000,000, if we add a third to bring tbe first amount up to seiliog prices. It ap parently never occurs to the digger to inquire into the unstable nature of the whole Kimberly fabric Immense sums of money are invested in and around the mine, and owners of town lots, of houses, of public buildings and of claims, have settled into tbe calmest feeling of security. But no fear disturbs the digger of Kimberly. His belief m the immortality of the mine is supreme. But there are influences at work which are crowding the small capitalists from the fields. The increasing depth, crumbling reef, inflowing water, are fast multiplying the expenses ol working. The great bugbear ef the digger is the word "company," but even now small proprietorships are becoming merged in large aggregations of claims, and the next phase of mining opeiations must nndoubtedly be that of several large and competing companies, or perhaps a single one controlling the whole mine. Then the individual romance of diamond hunting will be over. But there is no dangei that the diamond will ever become common. Nature has placedit in lands difficult of access, aad it is likeiy to r mjin a r yal gem, surronndtd with the seclusion of tyDeath of General Lsne's Son. ISalem (Oregon) Mercury, July 30.1 On Monday last at about noon Nat H. Lane died at his residence in East Portland. He had been ill for some months, but it was thought by his friends until a few days before his death that his ultimate recovery was probable. On the Sunday before his death he was stricken with paralysis, and it was soon evident that hope was vain and his end near. He lingered in much pain for about 30 hours and then bis spirit forsook its earthly tenement. Mr. Lane was a well known aod influential citizen of this state, a son of General Joseph Lane, and he had been, a resident of Oregon since 184S. He was an upright, honorable gentleman at all times, and bad tbe respect and esteem of all with whom he came in contact. He leaves a bereaved family and a large circle of friends who will mourn his demise and long remember his many good qualities and honorable character. The board of trustees of Eist Portland, cf which he was a member, passed resolutions of condolence with his family and attesting bis worth as a citizen, and attended his funeral in a body. He was buried on Wednesday last. Will be Heard From. Cleveland Leader. "Douglas defeated in convention!" says the Chicago Times. "What will congress do for a thoroughbred inebriate?"

Poverty and Suffering-. "1 was dragged down with debt, poverty and suffering for years, caused by a sick family and large bills for doctoring, which did them no good. I was completely discouraged, until one year ago, by tbe advice of my pastor, I procured Hop Bitters and commenced their use, and in one month we were all well, acd none of us .have seen a sick day since, and I want to say to all pcor men, you can keep your families well a year with Hop Bitters for less than one doctor's visit will cost I know it.
