BREADsTUFFs.-The nited States Econo-
mist thinks that through this year breadth o.
land sown in wheat has been greatly increased
| III crop will not be an excessive one. In this
| country, various causes, as severe winter, fly
rust, &c, have conspired TO reduce the crops
and probably the aggregate will not exceed an
average. In England the unsound seed, I'M
favorable Spring and weather, are supposed also
to counterfeit the effects of more extensive SOW
ing; and in France similar causes operate to
prevent excess. In the south Gf Europe, on
the other hand. abundance is looked for. Tx
ing these facts into consideration osether with
Re exhausted ale Of stocks, very low prices
are not Looked for, even should the fears. in
relation to the harvest not be realized.
In l847 the quantities Of Whear and Flour
that came forward on the opening OF the canals,
were 80 large as To break prices, and cause a
great increase in the exports 10 Great Britain,
helping to break the prices there. This year
the exports of -four, in June, were only 1856
against A2 $50 in the same month OF lS47; OF
wheat 7OO,O 900 bushels less. The exports of the
United States in -four and wheat, up TO the end
of March, exceed those of the same time in
l647 by 100000 bushels; during the three
months ending with June, there have been p
500 900 bushels less than in lS47, showing the
great exhaustion of the crops through the win
ter months. TIL. experience OF 1917 also
showed that the high prices which ranged in
those years stimulated so great production as
to cause prices to fall to an average lower than
| for many previous years. Those high prices
were great benefit to the Russian grain coun.
tries, which, this year, by reason Of war, cannot
be influenced by them.

A RARE TREAT.

We were present last evening and listened
n the reading Of Hamlet By Miss Champion.
The task was performed in a most mastery
manner. She appeared upon the stage neatly
attired, her enunciatit n was distinct and easy
her Gestures were graceful and appropriate, her
conception was truthful and Impressive, her
elocution was faul,less and the Eodulations Of
her voice were admirably adapted 10 the various
parts she had to assume. She 10 lady Of much
more than ordinary talent in her profession and
will reach to IN enviable distinction should no
misfortune beset her Pa'h. We regret that she
had not larger audience last evening, that her
readings might have been prolonged for a
few evenings Certainly M entertainment
could be more chaste and instructive Than that
Of last evening. Nothing occurred which could
ofend the most fastidious.
