Excitement in the Breadstufis Market
—Great Demand for Export--Confilct
Between Federal and State Ceuta
Amicably Adjusted.
rgy Telegraph to the Pittsburgh tiatette
NEw Yonx, August 9,1869.
Private cable telegrams from Europe
to-day report bad weather and injury to
the growlng crops in Great Britain and
France, and higher quotations in the,
English grain markets than reported by
the press telegrams. This caused great
animation on the Produce Exchange and
stimulated a sharp upward movement in
prices. Exporters appeared inforce and
took 250,000 bushels of wheat and 26,000
barrels of flour, at an advance of eight to
ten cents per bushel on,-the former and
twenty-five cents per barrel on the latter.
The markets were sweptof all the stuff
offering within shippers' limits. This
large movement iti breadstuffs for export
was felt in the ,different departments of
speculation in• Wall street. In the Gold
Room the market fell to 135%, on the
theory that produce shipments would
make a-'large exchange, and stop the
specie shipments.

in the State Court, whereupon Mr.
Plerrepont stated the circumstances of

honor to report that I have received a
telegraphic dispatch from our observers
of the eclipse at Des Moines. lowa. Prof.
Harkness reports as follows:
We have succeeded beyond our most
sanguine expectations. We have one
hundred and twenty-three photographs
of the eclipse, two being of totality;'also
a spectro of five prominences, no two of
them giving the same lines. Could see
no absorption lines in the spectrum of
the Corona; it gave a continuous spec
trum, with one bright line on it.
Prof. Eastman's obseriations were also
successful. Ho reports no ultra mercu
rial planets were visible.
T. W. Heyward left here on. Friday
morning anti arrived at Bristol, Tenn.,
in ample time for the eclipse. His special
objects of attention were duration of to
tality and ultra mercurial planets. The
circumstances attending hie observations
were extremely favorable. Mercury,
Venus and Regulus were visible to the
naked eye, but no ultra mercurial plan
ets were seen. He has numerous notes of
the eclipse, from which a full report will
be made.
At this Observatory the sun was par
tially obscured by clouds, and owing to
the use of a higher power than the ob.
server was accuttomed to, be failed to
get a first and last contact. His other
observations were entirely suocespful.
I will have the honor to submit a more
detailed report o'n the return of the offi
