has been raised against the Sub-treasury
BY the Wing press and Bank orators, was
nothing but sheer humbug, aud is DOW SO
proving itself. This measure has been
in operation for two months. Since its
passage no direful change in the business
of the country has ensued. No body has
starved to death, or suffered from its ia
cal effects. In the great southern market
for the produce Of the west, New Or
leans, flour has gone up to $S. and up
wards.--At New York it meets with rea-
dy sale at from S5,25 to $3.50, and
wheat 81 rs and $l,22 per bushel. In
Cincinnati -four commands $4,25 and
S4,50-wheat from 65 TO 10. In this
place Maysville, nearly the same prices
are given for these, articles while hemp
Is brisk at $6,25 TO $3.50 per hundred.

every barrel of -four they can find, while
we have reasons TO believe, similar per-
sons are engaged in Kentucky, purchas-

The journal Of Commerce says:
"PRODUcE--The last year was one Of
great abundance in agricultural products.
The crops of cotton and bread stuAs we're
greater than ever before. Business has
been extremely dull all the year and yet
our stores are exhausted. The wants of
producers have caused them TO carry
their crops very generally to market, so
that whether we believe il or not, much
larger quantity of produce has been dis
posed of in the great markets than during
any former year. The cotton mills in
Europe and here, it is said, have been
standing sill, and yet, one way or anoth-
er, the quantity Of cotton spun this year
exceeds that spun last year by more
than the whole crop a few years ago.
The stocks Of cotton in all the ports are
now small, and almost no stock at ALL

The New York Sunday News, a whig
paper also, has the following:
