It is thought, says the Fanner, that tho present season
will be a good one for experieneed merchant, and millers,
as there will be much opportunity for judgment in
'electing samples of the current wheat crop. Some
years, such as 1868 and 1870, produced corn of uniform
saciellenee, making transactions easy to all buyers. The
contrary result follows a harvest like that new being
gathered, which presents great variety, from orcellenoe
down to the lowest inferiority of sample, so that the
range will severely test opinion. Somo now wheat is
eonaiderd of so "hungry," empty, flour-defieient char.
oder, that to represent he value by weight, it will be
only 56 lb per bushel, against 63 lb of fiao seasons. This
feet is singular In • year that is growing us some of the
finest rye and oats ever weighed, and we have still
strong hopes that • huge proportion of the latter wheat
samples will boot a fair average quality. This view is
esetelnly entertained ic Suffolk and Norfolk, and if true
in these counties, we trust it may be elsewhere. Whilst
It is impossible to deny the evidence of the d.fictieot and
inferior yield of the Fen, round Cambridge, Peter-
borough, and Ely, 111, only fair masoning to say that
other districts, if disappointing, are yet equal to the
reporte which come from them. Thus, Kent, Eases,
Seffolk, Norfolk, Northampton, Berke, large tracts of
Liaeolashire and York, send, on the whole, satisfactory
amounts. The estimates of the yield are very various:

ALWAYS AT • PAIZION.—To this "fifth quarter of
the globe," as an Irish writer has Galled it, the mother
eouniri suds Insey thine its people do not want, and
the oonsequensco too frimesuay are an overstocked
market and a depressed trade. From this category we
beg leave, however, to exolude two articles—toe two
',debuted remedies of Protegee Holloway. Through-
out Austraaala they are at a premium. Ihe pills and
ointment are considered the most profitable oeinmoditioa
that can be taken to the diggin4s, as th,ir efficacy in
as disease common in the gold region is well known
to every nugget-heater, and they are therefore eagerly
bought up at any price by these toilers after the
" saanimon of uarighteousness." For bilioes foyers,
and all disorders of the liver and bowels which pre-
vail on the auriferous soil of the Interior, the pills
appear to be a positive, immediate, and invariable
care. We have seen returned gold-hunters from the
"diggings," and their reports on this head are uniform.
Nor is the testimony less conclusive in relation to the
ointment as a means of relieving rheumatism and
neuralgia, and healing the wounds, abrasions, oontu-
wpm, be, incident to a hard life in the wilderness.
In abort, everyone in "the bush" looks upon Holloway's
two preparations as • sufficient medicine cheat for all
be • of his outer and inner men. He knows,
for be has wintered with them and summered with
them beyond the settlements, that they are his surest
reliance at all seasons and tinier all eicrumsenoss.
Almost every digger has some anecdote to relate of the
muss they have perforated. Limbs saved (rein n„,,_
tifieation, nines preserved from gangrene, contracted
joints relaxed, liver disease arrested, dysentery earl
diarrhea cured—thus are their trophies. In fact
they are moil the lined things of which we cannot
have too marsh, and although the imports at present
are so large as to be almost tueredibht, still the demand
keeps in advance if the supply. Furnished with these
