We have taken repeated occasions, during TIE past
season. to declare the positive shofiness Of the late
wheat crop IN the Grain growing States u tie At

hence before supplies of wheat from Europe can
reach Us in any quantity TO affect The nalkel, and in
the mean time The prevailing high rates must CON
ilnue. We have been led 10 these remarks by see
ing in the New York journal Of Commerce, of Mon

tie abundant crops.
BREAD Srurrs.--Il has become a matter OF great
importance thai The ueXt European packet should
carry out strong assurances respecting the prices OF
bread -siuils in The U1ited States. Oh the conliun-

wheat sold last week II fully dollars a bushel:
heIe it cannot be bought under that price Rye has
sold very extensively here ~ 20 for 90 lbs and
eorn would readily command IL l-2 cents. We
believe tIe opinion of the dealers IS that low
Il prices arr hot to be expected before spring,
and That high prices viii be established unless KEEP
dpwn by large imporalions from abroad. There is
no chance thai foreign mponations Will he large
enough 10 deprcss the market materially. All that
IS expected from them is TO prevent much further
advance. Foreign merchants may therefore calcn-
ae with confidence preSen pnces, at least, and
only care be taken in putting wheat or othrr grain
without injury German wheat has established a
hi reputation with oumilefs, x would 1t any tlnle
command the highest market rates. As to rye, it i
wanted chiefly for the dslillcrs. and turns 10 le
red good. But the worms of the stills mnst be
hclt running, for men will have whishcv whether
IjeT families even themselves have bread or not.
Sanyas we are for the necessity which exists. that
necessity will make Us glad 10 ste foreign bread

~ sea viii be closed TOO Ion many shipments or
ad'lces no" sent out but in the ports OF England
iiiere are great quantities stored in bond d from
other countries accessible through the MetlIter-
rhean, the winter will not prevent the movements of
commerce.
