FARMERS KEEP YOUR WHEAT.
There is every probability that wheat
will command one dollar a bushel next
spring, at the opening Of navigation;
nay, moro, it can be almost reduced 10
a certainty; that it will be J0er one dollar
bushcl, at that time, here in MassA-
lon.
Twill say nothing of tho present pros.
peeL of bad crop next year. in conse-
qnencc Of the fly having made its ap-
pearaGce in almost all the wheat grow
hgscouutty, here aRdaIl east Of Us, there
arc present causes enough to bring
wheat up TO the prices above named
without anticipating bad crops.
FIRST, rhen, the short crop last year
10 Canada.
Wheat IS now Sl,25 cite, per bushel
in beth the Canadas, and has been al
this price there ever since last harvest;
200. 0G0 dollars worth of ~heat and
Aouy has already been shipped from
Cleveland 10 Canada, since the last
harvest, as much moro from Buffalo aud
as much from Rochester-pobbbIy as
much or more from Delrolt--nnd add
what has been sent there from smaller
poris, and we snail see that al least one
milton oG dcIla5s worth Of ywhea; has
been sent TO the Canadas thus far, this
wear. There is no doubt that it will take
me million moro to supply The Cana
ias, until next harvest.
Second The British eastern pro-
vinces, Nova Scotia, New Bruins wick
and New FoundIand, coDiainIng leIf

always were dependant on others for
them. formerly they we're supplied from
England and Canada, but this year they
cannot get barrel of -four from either.
owing to The scarcity IN both countries.
Third, The scarcity Of bread-slufis
10 Europe. Every barrel of flour that
can be bought for the least trRe under

as Boston, Richmond, Alexandra,

The extent Of these shipments. which
have already been made, are making
