Here is an increase averaging about " per
cent. in single year. from November lS45,to
November, 1876. Now, this increase otprice
must be attributed solely TO the deficiency in
the crops for no one will pretend that the re-
duction of duties IN England has increased
the price of grain there. But this will appear
still palmer when we learn that wheat, which
in November. 1916, sold for 6ls. cd. per quar-
ter, commanded in December OF the same
year 70s. per quarter, being rise OF IA per
cent. in single month. 1t is well known
that the potato crop in England has fallen off
more than the grain crop; and this has not
only increased the price Of potatoes, but has
created greater demand for wheat, barley In
dian corn, and provisions generally. The de-
hciency in the potato crop Will be seen IN the
enhanced price of that important article. Po-
tatoes IN England which, IN November, le43,
commanded 54s. per ton, IN November, lelo.
sold readily at Is, and in December, 1910,
at l55s. per ton, being an advance IN thirteen
months. OF Isl per cent. These facts, taken
from the best English authority, prove most
concluslyely, that we must look TO olher caus
es than the modification Of the English, corn
laws, for the enhanced price OF gram IN mat
country. 10 fact, the Argument oil the Tree
trade school has been that the repeal OF the
English corn laws would cheaper the price oil
bread in England, and so greatly increase the
consumption, and thus augment the demand
for grain from this country. But We see by
the English price currents that all bread Suits
have risen in price in that country since the
moderation Of her tariff. We do not sscribe
this advance in price to the change in her
Commercial policy. but to other causes, more
controlling than any human enactment The
price OF wheat in England was

GENERAL scor AND GEN. TAYLOR

The following communication, which, APP
parenty. was never designed BY the writer tc
meet the eye Of the public. is published by
the Union, together with the correspondence
Of Gen. TAYLOR. 1t evinces the friendly
feelings which Gen. Scorr entertained to-
wards Gen. TAYLOR, in leaving the United
States to take command of the army, and has
an important bearing on the question now
generally discussed, as TO the responsibility
for Gen. TAyLoR's being thrown with SO
small an army into collision with SANTA AN
MAS greatly superior force. It will be observ-
ed, the letter Of Gen. ScoTT shows that the
withdrawal ofthe troops from Gen. TAYLOR,
was a measure fully decided upon by the Ad-
ADMINISTRATION before he left Washington; and
that the design then was to put Gen. TAYLOR
on the defensive with avery limited command
