From the North american and y. S. Gazette.
From all the most authentic sources have col
lected the following statements, which will show
the comparative quantity Of Wheat and Flour
now held at the principle points on the Scaboard
and interior, as compared with the amount on
hand at this date last year; from which it will be
seen that the quantity now on hand in the Eastern
cities cannot very soon, and will not in all proba-
biliy, be materially increased before the coming
harvest This opinion is predicted upon the fact
that the farmers of the West are, from the high
prices obtained last year, i'll such easy crcumstan-
ces as will enable them to hold OH TO their grain un-
til late in the SprinS;at which time, with scarcely
an exception for the last twelve or fifteen years,
the price of wheat has been higher than at any
time previous.
III addition to this, the late dates at which the
canals closed last fall enabled holders in t he West
To get much lurger quantity to market than Is
usual thus taking from that great storehouse, the
West, larger proportion than usual, and conse
quently, leaving much diminished amount Oh
| hand far snrinr shinment
The stock Of -four now on hand in New York
does not exceed 1876, 900 barrels against 200 OOC
barrels last year. The amount i'll Philadelphia il
estimated at go, 900 barrels against twice that a
mount last year at the same date in Boston, so,
600 barrels. aguinst 80, 900 barrels; and in Balti
more, $4,000 barrels, against 10000 barrels al
corresponding dates At Albany and Troy the
amount is less than one-hali at Rochester the
stock is 10000, against $4,000 barrels. At the
principal points Oh the Erie Ca nal, not mentioned
the amount does not exceed one-fourh that whicl
was held last year. In Buffalo the whole amour
in wheat and flour derived from the same sour
ces) is 1000 barrels against 81 900 barrels OF
the lst of march l847. On the upper Lakes thu
quantity bears no comparison to last year. Chi
caSo holds 100000 bushels against 600 600; til,
ST. Joseph Valley may be estimated at 1900
bushels, against 5O,00O Detroit has Oh hand 80
600 barrels against 100000 There have bee
no stocks accumulated on lake Erie, whilst las
year the amount was very large. Cleveland an,
various points OH the Ohio Canal down as low a
Zoar, were estimated TO have OH hand this tim
last year, 500 900 bushels wheat. At this time
it is confidently asserted, there is not Oh the sam
line 90 600 bushels. At Mansfield and Sandusk
city last year large amounts were collected-thi
year nothing worth mentioning There was, al
SO, large amountin store and ready for shpmen
OH the southern portion Of the Ohio Canal; no Y
there is. literally none. On the Muskingum rive
there is not to exceed 20, 900 barrels against so
900 barrels last spring. Last year Pittsburgh
Beaver and other points above Wheeling on tn
Ohio were estimated to have on hand 1000
brs. at this time they do not contain 10000. Cu
cinnati last year had very large surplus; thi
year, the amount is barely sufficient for her ow
consumption, n,although tue price for wheat is onl
81 per bushel. AtSt. Louis, and the State of I'll
nois, from whence came immense quantities lat
year, the millers complain Of not having tw
days work in the week. New Orleans does nc
contain 25 900 brls.; last year at this time ther
were 100000 barls in the city, and the boat
from the upper country were filled with -four,
freight Of 81 to 81 ,25 per bb Now the anoul
for shipment is so small that ghts can be had
3j 10 40 cents per barrel.
J From these facts | am Of opinion that ,her
cannot be any considerable decline in the price
of breudstulls before the next harvest aud shoul
we be SO unfortunate us to have short crop, tn
! coming year, and curly indications be given {
: that fact, prices must still further advance.
Add TO these, the fact that very large pr,
portion of the corn crop of the west is unfit fl
