The Middle-Striker and Otter-Lifter;
two othet signers of the treaty of Hol'

The latter, as late as the month of Ju

were the goods for the Chickasaw and
Chodaw conference, continued with
them until they had passed the Lower
Towns, and conducted himfelf in fyrf

" A good deal of the crop of grain
in the northern countries is yet on the
ground, and so very unfavorable has
been the weather, that a considerable
part of the harvest has been much, in
jured. This has advanced the prices of
prime wheat to ,5.4.d.a 7s. Bd. per
yolbs and from the present appearance
with refped to our own harvest and the
Rate of European politics fas refpeding
France) we think it possible that the
wheat may be admitted here at the
lowest duty at our next quarterly peri
od, which is the 15th November ; and
that, if that should not be the case
then, there is a great probability of its
being so on the 15th of February next.
There are enquirers here for vessels to
proceed to America to load wheat, and
so that it is probable that {peculations
in that article will turn to account."
