MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. THTF MARK LAN* KYPRESS,

in its weekly review of the British corn trade, says: Wheat may now be considered to hava reached maturity, and in some southern districts harvesting has commenced. The crops of wheat, barley and oats in the fens are heavy, but badly laid by rain, and almost everywhere the fields have a more or less dingy appearance, which betokens blight. But the harvest is so near that nothing short of a disastrous change^ of weather, which is very unlikely, can influence, to any extent, the yield of English wheat, which, most probably, will be short of an average crop, although not so disappointing as last year's. After a lengthened period of healthy activity, our market for wheat, the past week, has shown signs of depression consequent upon finer weather and the temporary quietude which pervades the political situation, so far as this country is concerned. With the prospect of a epeedv increace in tne supplies of English wheat, millers have bought foreign very sparingly. Imports into London continue lib*

eral, the quantity reported up to Friday being 57,000 quarter? an increased export movement has been going on from America, and unless the exports of the new wheat crop are exaggerated, both India and BusBia will find her a formidable rival for the supply of this country's requirements. Supplies, which are pushed forward in autumn, are .likely to be heavy this year, especially as our range of prices is not sufficiently low to exercise any restraining influence, and there is not much chance of the continent relieving us, as, according to all accounts, France will have sufficient for her own wants, but little to spare for ours. While the wheat crops of Germany and Russia promise abundantly, the tone of our local trade has been depressed, and prices have receded one shilling on both English and ft reign wheit. Corn, on the other hand has Hhown great pteadiness, and barley and maize have sold six cents higher, the scarcity of the former having ulrengthened

prices.

The oat trade is

also steady, in the face of large arrivals, and no reduction has been found necessary to effect

Bales.

The floating cargo

trade for wheat is very stagnant, and although holders have exhibited considerable tenacity, bids made have indicated a decline of one shilling and two shillings on the week. Maize, although steady, has barely maintained the late advance. Sales of English wheat noted last week were 21,134 quarters at 64s 6d, against 18,371) quartern at 47s od the previous year. Imports into the kingdom for the weekending July 28, 1,275,198 c»t. of wheat, and 95,345 cwt. of flour.

Counts by the Wholesale Against

Him-

He is to Demonstrate That the *f Way of the Transgressor is •M Hard.

ST. LOUIS, August 6.—A civil suit for damages was filed, this aiternoon, in the United States circuit court, by the United States government, against Wm. M. McKee. This action embodies 1,653 counts, for $1,400 each, aggregating $2,314,200. These counts are all alike in form,except that the name of a different distiller is inserted in each, charging with unlawful removal of distilled spirits, and also charging the defendant with aiding and abetting in the removal of said spirits, which act rendered him liable to the above penalty of $1,400.

THE DISTILLERS

mentioned in these counts are William R. Jowett, John Barby, Joseph G. Chotean McLot Thompson, Alfred Bevis, Edward B. Frazer, Peter Currau, Kudolph W. Ulrici and Louis Teuscher. Assistant District Attorney Dennison, says it is not expected judgments will be obtained on all the counts but it is expected that half a million of dollars will be recovered. This suit will probably reopen the entire proceedings of the whisky ring from 1871, as each removal of the Hpirits will have to be proved separately before judgment can be secured and this will probably bring all the witnesses in the whisky trials back to the stand.

One«f the Dirty Job* off the Graafian Era.

BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 7.—The following appeared in ihe Herald of ibid morning FARRAOUT HOUSE,

RYE BEACH, N. H,, Aug. 8.

The declaration of ex-special treasury agent Moore that I attempted to black mail him does not contain a single element of truth. I never sought at any time to communicate with him either directly or indirectly for any purpose whatever. The statement that I published certain papers after the failure to obtain money from him a£ the price of their suppression, is equally false, since the papers in my possession relating to him have never yet been published anywhere. No papers affecting him from the official files of the treasury were ever put in my hands by Mr. Sturtevant, or any one else. Moore was not removed on account of the exhibition of such paperss a he describde to the president or secretary. His removal followed from the discovery of a series of original documents largely in Moore's handwriting, showing beyond possible doubt that at ihat time Secretary Schurz and Charles Sumner were attemping to investigate the San Domingo matter through a committee of the sente, Moore, then assessor oi internal revenue in Texas, entered into a conspiracy with General Babcock and Colonels Whiteley and Nettleship of the secret service force to shield Babcock and defeat some of the moet important objects of that investigation. To accomplish this it was necessary to get one of the witnesses against Babcock, living in Rhode Island,out of the way. Moore manufactured an affidavit charging this witness who had been a Union soldier in Texas, with the murder. On this be procured a requisition on the governor of

Bhode Island for thiB witness. Moore came with those papers to Washington. Babcock, who was then at the the White House, gave him a letter to Whiteley, requesting assistanqe from the latter. Whiteley sent Nettleship to Bristol to try and kidnap the witness and take him at night by the Fall river boat to New York and thence to Washington, where it was thought that tne courts could be induced not to grant a writ of habeas corpus, but the plot which was more infamous, if possible, than safe burglary, in which the same parties figured, failed, but all the papers remain, and mainly on these Moore was Wmofed.

AN ADROIT ROBBERY. A very bold and skillful robbery was committed in aNew York broker's office the other day. The sales clerk had just taken in a check for $3,000 on the Leather Manufacturers' Bank and $2,300 in $too bills, which he placed on the counter by his side. The part of the counter where the sales clerk stands is partitioned off ty an iron railing about three feet high, the iron work* being wrought so closely that it would be difficult for a man to insert one finger between the rails. The clerk turned to transact some business with the bullion clerk, and a minute later noticed that the money was gone. A square piece

the iron inclosure had been cut off, leaving a bpace just large enough to admit a hand. There was no clue to the thiet. Word was sent to the bank to stop the payment of the check, and thus limi* the firm's loss to $2,200 in greenbacks. An examination showed that the piece kai been cut or filed off. The thief had carried the piece off with hiro, and1 it is believed that the iron xjork must have been cut some time ago preparatory to some such robbery, and that the piece was put back in its place to be removed only when an opportunity should arise. ..
