LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVIDERBI 9. AT Mark-lane, on Moody, wheat TN =forts. natay 2e. per quarter dearer than on the previous Monday. It will be a sellielant reply to the asser tion that the pries is determined by emsbinadon if we remind the reader that the principal buyers in Mark-lane are the millers. and nobody will for one moment suppose that they have combined to keep up the pries against themselves. In most of the markets of England and the neighbouring Conti nent, the mice has latterly again tided upwards, and in all these markets the millers are the chief, if net the only, buyers el wheat. The millers of Great Britain alone number 37,268: it in a gross and pal pable absurdity to suppose that they do net straggle to the utmost to avoid paying sixpence more per quarter for wheat than they can possibly help. To maintain also, as we see some writers in the Biwa assert, that the 303,720 farmers rehandle the omens as inhabiting Great Britain have entered into a oar battiest to keep up the pries of wheat, is is the last degree absurd. Every farmer and every miller tries, the one to sell, the other to bey wheat on the most favourable terms, but there can be no combina tion. The result, however, of their joint mad animal operations—the Dataquest:a of information gleaned from every locality, and of their knowledge of what is waled as well as of what is harvested—the price which they settle in the market, mist be a far better criterion of supply and demand than the infermatioa collected over a narrow space by any one person, or even any mere enumeration of produce, however maturate. The penal rise in the mar ket may be assumed, therefore. without farther Warsaw to con- Biding statements, to be a complete answer to Mr. Catania supposition that we shall not require much same than 1,000,000 quarters of wheat to meet our comearoptioa this year. It is oleo an emphatic, practical refutation of the inflammatory letters in the noes, written by Linoolashire violas and other idlers, vituperating inners and millers because the price of food is high. Last year we actually respired about 3,000,000 quarters of wheat, and the average rice of the first two months after the harvest was 56a. 10d.; this year the average price at the same period is Ma. 6d.; from which the presumption is that much more wheat will be required to supply the delideseiss of the harvest of 1855 than of 1854. These Agues teeth us something more than that Mr. CAIRD has been extremely hasty in forming his judgment, and that Merkel incendiaries an be extremely foolish. The average price of wheat during the last six weeks was 775. 2d., which is 4s. 9d. above the annual average pries of 1864-725. &l. The average pries of the present year, as far u it hes gone, is 73e. 5d., and it seems likely to mount before the slam of the year to 78s. Though we may led a higher pries than this for one or two weeks in latter times, we art go back se for as the year 1819, when the ave nge was 735. ed., to find a yearly price greater than Sit of 1864, and equal to that of the present year. The present price, with a gold standard and free trade la corn, is a most important feet. Bach a prise has heretofore only been met with under a depreciate& wanseey, and a rigorous system excluding is bus the markets of other ereatries. A ►ap of rigid% from COBUTT to Lord Dean—Free-tradess eke hoped for ao equable pries of about 40e., amiPte. Modernists who dreaded a fell to Ml&—are puny at fault, and the strange fact whisk Isegbatleue tell, as it were, to scorn, is surely desenlegjelumesilsetive consideration. Now, it is plain that the present war was sertebly not the first nor the main cases of the great rise in the price of wheat, for in February, 1864, it was 804.10 d. In November,lB63, it stood at 725. 3d. The.. high prices were not caused by the war, which only began in Mardi, 1864. After the war was declared, in September, 1854, the price was 68a. 7d. Nor can the war have greeted the prise in Prase* whisk hes lately been buying cern is Enema, and reposes to redeem the import duties la the Zollverels, that her people may be fed. EMI la 1863 the average pries of wheat in Prussia was 41s. 9d, being 13e. 11d. above the avenge of the previous 26 years; sad it hr sines mmtlanally rises. Lest year, too, the pries of wheat mesquite as high in the United States as in Engkad ; and it was not sleeted by the war. In truth, a general rise has taken place la the price of corn throughout Europe, and, we may my, through out the world, which must not be lightly weed over, or treated as a momentary deviation from the adi eu" prim to be corrected by some petty municipal or imperial regulations. On such a fact being brought under notice, the almost forgotten doctrine of Mr. Mumma that population is for ever outrunning the mane of sub lastest*, rises spin to the surface; but the mode la which the increase of population has recently shown its effects requires to be traced. Sines 1848, when the avenge price of wheat was about 605., the exports of Great Britain have risen from 62,000,0001. to 97,000,0001. in 1864. They were not given away nor wholly sent to our colonies, sad they therefore indicate a corresponding increase of mew mace in other countries. In fact, we know that in 18534 the trade of the United States harrowed nearly one-third, and that the trade of all Europe increased to a great if not similar extent. To quote one example only, which indicates what has been going on over all Europe as well as in England, the exports from Hamburg awl Bremen to Australia and the South Sea Islas& rose from less than 100,000 thalers in 1862, to 2,900,000 thalms in 1864. Thus, coincident with our increase of traffic here, es exemplified by our exports, a oar responding increase of traffic has taken place through out the commercial world. We published on Wednesday an instruetive skies meat from our special correspondent in the Unified States, which throws a steady light on this very Im portant subject. Our correspondent stated that the wheat crop of 1854 in the United State. fell eon @Useably below the average of 100,000,000 bushels. But the maize mop of the year, the staple food of the Americans, it is well known, was not defective ; and the effects pith* mere deficiency of the wheat crop is thus described : I travelled (says our aerrespeedeat) several thousand miles through the great granary of " the Groat West," and &s -haded my tour late the meet remperom of the Bdd.h 'mime en our anthers frostier.

The Jammed the town population within the het few years, and the 'were of the population engaged in mining, making rails, and in all kinds of manufactures and trade, while sa egad Jocasta* did not take place in the agricultural population, was at the bottom of the great comparative deficiency of food mistimed by oar correspondent. Since prises have risen to an almost famine level in thaw's the *Men tion of the people has been directed mare to agrisal tare, and the brie crop of 1885, if partly due to a propitious season, is also partly due to the laarateed cultivation which the seareity and high prises have called forth. What has taken place in the United States has also taken place throughout Europa. A great stimulus has everywhere been given to trade and manufactures, and the non-agricultural population has rapidly increased in numbers and wealth. Then are mare of them—they have everywhere made railways, built ships, meted manufao cries, and have coated more wealth to give for the food they require. The Jaereaeod demand for food which has thus arisen could only be known to the agricultural population by an inereses of prim and the Jameson has sot yet bean so great or continued so long as to have produced in Europe--expoesd as agriculture is to numerous restrictions, and generally behind the rest of society as is the agricultural population—the asewmary increase of food. History has regarded the 'great effect of the dis covery of Anodes, and the increase ol the precious metals which cussed, epos prices in Europe, not manly, as is too often hastily supposed, from incase lag the quantity of currency and lowering the value d sell sad silver, but from stimulating, like Lhe seders discoveries of gold, the progress of trade and manofectors, increasing, cousquently, the pipsktien at misused in producing food, thus sigssialks the amend for food, so multiplying the Wage to be gives la exchange for it, so raising to an estracedinary degree the pries of food, and so coming the price of all other things to rims. What occurred on the discovery of America has occurred is our times, but, from our more rapid counnunkatica, the offsets have been more speedily developed. A great and rapid Increase has taken place in ship ping, trade, and manufeetares ; a great increase has followed in the population to be fed from the produce of the land ; they have mach to give the aviculturists for food, but till their demand was manifested by a high price there was no motive to isms largely the supply, ' and after it has beams manifest the supply cannot be immediately increased. It takes time to =teed cultivation, particularly in old countries, and hones food is sane throughout Europe, and the pries in Ragland—where theme offsets are fist and most strongly felt—is higher than it hes been for 36 year. It was quite ispoodble for agriculture to prepare beforehand for such an ineressed demand, and very difficult, or almost impossible, for it now, everywhere subjected as it is ia the old world to numerous arti ficial restrictions, at owe to feed the increased and blousing number of people. This food question therefore cannot be solved by looking only to Hyde-park or a parish is Lincoln shire, nor even by collecting statistics of the produce of England or looking at the price in Mark-lane, though this is the swot indication of our present undid= and our future preepseta It is a world wide question. Commove now unites all the people of the earth in the pursuit of wealth, however widely they may be: politically separated ; and we have all a mums interest in the good cultivadis d the sell in every country.

Sines my last despatch we have had no letters from Bars till yesterday, bearing date the 10th inat This morning we had letters of as late a date u the 13th by the English courier. They are full of details concerning the battle of the 29th of September. As you know the circumstances of the action, nearly as they occurred, I shall confine myself almost entirely to giving you the precise numbers of killed and wounded on that day of bloodshed. The Russian army was about 28,000 strong. Hay ing made a false attack upon the eastern forts, they directed their forces.* muss upon the fortsof the south* west. Their artillery consisted of 48 guns. Gen.E.mety opened fire upon them from the Tames Tabia. By a sudden movement the Russians succeeded in tak ing the forts in the rear, and then they fell upon the three Tablas on the western side ; those named Churchill, Zohrab, and Teesdale. The garrisons of these three were small, and consequently fell quickly into the hands of the enemy. Colonel Lake, who commanded the forts of Earadagh, and other Tobias, hastened to the spot with reinforcements to' dislodge the enemy, and succeeded so completely that he not only made himself muter of the position, but pursued them u far u the village of Chskmak. When the Russians were in the English Tabia they succeeded in flinging three guns over the wall, and in bringing in as many of their own. The small forts constructed by Colonel Lake did excellent service, by acting on the flank of the enemy. The Turks expressed themselves loudly in commendation of the skill of the English officers. Report speaks highly of the bravery and the firmness of the Russian columns. Decimated by the murderous fire of our troops, the places of the fallen were immediately filled up by the reserves. After five deadly assaults they retreated, or, rather, they fled; their strength for attack being exhausted. The number of the Tiuks who took an active part in the contest was about eight or nine thou- 1 sand. The annals of military exploits have sel dom recorded greater carnage or a more brilliant noose in proportion to the number of troops actually en The Turks were occupied four days in burying the corpses of the Russians, the number of which was 8,250. The number of the dead taken away by the Russians themselves during the action is not known. Up to the last date from Ears funs-1 vale were taking place daily in the Russian sap; and to Judge by the military honours performed in favour of some, there must have bean a number of commissioned officers amongst the killed. Two thousand wsggon losds of wounded were sent from the Russian camp to Alexaudropol. Supposing that each waggon contained two or three wounded, we shall have a total of about five thousand men, without reckoning one or two am nia kept in camp, on account of the serious nature of their wounds. The authorities of Kars deduce from this that the loss of the enemy may be esti mated, without exaggeration, at about 15,000 men, leaving out of the account 180 who are prisoners hi Bare. Of the five Russian officers who are in this oats gory, one has died of his wounds. The ball which killed him entered the eye and passed out behind the ear. Seven general perished. Among these were Gen. Brame, the second in command, and General Bolan koff, of the cavalry. The latter was found dead on the field by the Turks. It is wonderful that a mere handful of Turks, besieged for four months, on less than half rations, shoeless and ragged, with their pay nearly two years and a half in smear, should have been able to distin guish themselves in such a manner as to gain the admiration of the world. It is a proof that the Turkish army, well °Moored, may take' rank amongst European armies. Turkey is not worn out, as Russia would have the world believe. The elements of life still exist in her, and she only wants cultivation to enable her to de velop herself mightily. The fall of Sebastopol was the first cloud which obscured the Muscovite star. Other successes of the Allies will have the effect of ealipsing it entirely. Then planting their standards ea the enemy's territories with one hand, and extend ing the other in friendship to the Sultan, the Allies will be enabled to accomplish their generous in tentions. General Mouravieff, after the battle, despatched his to Alexandropol. This has given rise to the belief eh l nat be intends to retreat, although he makes a pretence of preparations to follow Dp the siege. If he really has determined to persist, he will have to wait till his nails are frozen—to use an expreision of one of our generals—before he will be enabled to get possession of Bare. The difficulty in his case b meted by the enthusiasm of the Turkish army on account of the nuns which it has achieved. The Turks are also in better condition from the present abundance of rations: there are enough at present to lest more than a month. I have already told you that many Turkish tribes which inhabit the neighbourhood of Bayszid had turned traitors to the caws of the Sultan, and con sented to receive Russian pay. Oa the 29th, while the Russian army was fighting under the walls of Han, the Bards sicked the camp of General Mon ravieff, and then deserted. Bodies of the Karacapaks, also in the Russian service, profited by the occasion and deserted. _ _ _ _ A fresh attack on Kars would be impossible. If the Russians remain in the vicinity and keep . up the blockade, it will be for the purpose of giving the troops b reathing time, and attending to the wounded. Whatever may be the cue, the garrison at Kars is ready to receive them. The cholera has not increased among the troops, but is more severe amongst the ' inhabitants. The Toes of the Turkish army in Kars on the 29th may be estimated at about 360 dead and 700 wounded. The: General of Division, Haim Packs, was slightly wounded on the shoulder, and Colonel Zsooaria Bey received a severs wound on the cheek. The life of the latter is despaired of. Thanks to the arrangements made by Dr. Bandwith, General Wil liamsrs physician, the hospitals afiord all the accom modation that can be wished for. The wounded have nothing to desire in the way of treatment. Omer Pecha has communicated with the Muchir in Kars. It appears that it is his intention to attack the Russians in the heart of Georgia, and that soon. General Mouravieff will, therefore, have to look to his own safety. Yesterday the courier from Teheran arrived here. Re brought dates to the Ist inst. The cholera had made its appearance, but although it continued, there were no signs of its becoming more prevalent. Shaphi Khan. ex-minister of Persia at the Court of St. James's, died of cholera in Teheran. Our embassy was still dwelling outside of Teheran. Up to the 6th inst. there were no accounts of the cholera having reached Tabris. There are no movements of troops here. Vely Pacba, with his small force, remains at Devi Boyne. The labours necessary for defence are pushed on with energy. Major Stewart and Captain Cameron superintend the works. The government here are laying in large stores of provisions. If the army of Kars passes the winter here, it will find enough to recompense it for its suf ferings up to the present time. Is the coarse of a few days the Porte will have to emieider the nomination of the Hamadan of the Danubian Principalities, yams powers are on the eve of expiration. Marshal Pelissier bag paid a visit to Admiral Brat, at Handeseb, and had been resolved by the garrison of that place and by the vessels in that port with loud of oathuslaim.
