Price of Wheat.

Not more than half the mills Of this city
are in constant operation, and yet the sup
plies Of wheat are inadequate, and so long as
they remain so, prices will continue to rule
high.-Yesterday there were about 5000
sacks, or 10, 00Oal2 900 bushels at the Levcc,
and an effort was made by the millers to re.
duce the rate shade, but we believe it was no
go-Bcfore the close of the market every
bushel was taken at or near previous prices.
Prime red sold at 81 goal 80, and choice at
81 30; white at 81 40, exclusive Of sack.
The prospect for additional receipts are
somewhat gloomy, as no grea, increase can be
expected until a rise takes place in the upper
rivers, ifthen. Atpresent, farmers are busy
preparing for another crop; consequently, up
country dealers are doing but little in the way
ofaccurnulating, and when wet weather sets in
next month, and the roads become impassa-
Bile, the supplies at a majority of the principal
shippingpoints will be found, perhaps, great
ly behind what might be expected
The season too is getting short, and onlysix
to cightwecks more can be calculated upon be-
fore the close ofnavigation. Thus far little or
no stock has been stored for winter consump'
ton, and the probability is that an unusually
small quantity will be at present high prices

after eating them, raw especially with

produced similar results. An old and expe-

For the Free Trader

FOR the Free Trader.
Mr.. Editor The very singular commu.
nication over the signature Of James McBur-
ney, in the last Free Trader, requires brief
notice. 1t seems to me they are the expiring
groans Of defunct Office seeker, notifying
to his few friends, while his enemies laugh at
his imbeclity. Mr.. McBurney seems to
think great effort was made to defeat him
for sheriff, and he conjurcs up all kinds Of
combinations and "cliques" The truth is,
he fell by his own weight Mr.. McI,urncy
complains was elected delegate to the de-
mocratic convention by Yankees, as lie is
pleased to term them. In reply, J have to
say Mr.. McBurnry was not SO fortunate.
The "Yankees" knew him too well. All the
notice that was taken Of him was done
through myself; for neither yankee" nor
lrshmcn ever mentioned his hume. What
have said against Mr.. McBurney that he
dare deny? lie was one Of the Jurors that
tried the men indicted for the murder Of Sto.
~. lie was one Of the twelve mcn-they
all agreed in the verdict Did not Mr.. Nc
Burney endeavor to make the Irisl. people
believe the acquittal Of the prisoners was in
consequence ofhis influence with the Jury.
saw his object, and explained it. said
then, and still say, that If he brought in a
verdict not in accordance with law and evil
dence, and knew it, he committed perjury
If nc simply discharged his duty as juror,
for one lrshman do not thank him. And
whyy Because he reeeired lis pay out Of The
county treasury for his serrices. Dare Mr..
McBurney deny that from the day of the tri.
al until the convention assembled, he cndca-
vored to influence the Irish voters to support
him for the services he rendered the prison
ers! Dare he deny he attended the Catholic
church in Ottawa before the delegates to the
convention were appointed, in his rags? for,
after considerable teasing from his wife, he
consented to 60 to meeting, providing she
would consent to 60 to the Catholic church,
for there, said he, | can 60 rs ragged as
please, and then I'm sure will be sheriff
Mr.. McBurney, since the convention, where
do you keep yourself. despise the man,
who for office, attempts to revive sectional
differences between yankees" and naturali-
xed citizens. We are all citizens of this land
oflibcrty, We rejoice in it, and although
love Ireland, the land of my birth, where my
forefathers arc buried, it does not decrease
my esteem for the land Of my adoption.
America, the land Of civil and religious free
dom, where there is no distinction among
men, except it be the integrity and intell.
gence of The citizen, and hope it may be a
long time before Office seekers and dema-
gogues like you may succeed in breaking

you have played the clown, after election day

John n. Drake.

That thin well and tried national demo
crat will be triumphantly elected over Jesse
U. Norton, the abolition candidate, We have
not now the slightest doubt. From all parts
OF the district VIC have the most fattering
accounts. In the southern part Of the dis
trict both wings and democrats are going
for him. The following is an extract from
alctter from leading and influential wing in
Mclean county, gentleman who has never
voted for democrat in his life and has been
voter for nearly twenty five years; but now
he says he cannot submit to being sold to the
abolitionists. lie is I" for Drake and the cons
tuition"
Hundreds Of national wings in Mclean,
Dewitt, Champaign and Nerlnilion are going
to vote for Drake. have talked with a
large number Of old line wings in these
counties, and they say that they are content
TO stand on the principles Of Clay and Web
stcr. They know that the negro Fred Doug.
las, Giddings and Chase have been imported
and are now stumping the district advoca'
ting the election Of Norton. They know that
every abolitonist in the district will vote for
Norton, and they are determined not to vote
with such crew. How can Clay whg
fratenize with an abolitionisty II is a bitter
pull that some oil them have taken, but many
Of US cannot do it-there is no use trying,
We prefer to core over to the national de-
mocracy, to stand on the platform of Clay
and Webster, along with Cass, Douglas
Dickinson, Buchanan and the great and
good men of the national democratic party.
Look at Under, Singleton Roe, and hosts
of other good aud true wings. Arc there any
better wings than they. They cannot go
with the abolition wing Of their party. They
are in favor Of the Nebraska bill, in favor Of
taking this question of slavery out of congress
and leaving it to the people, who have the
sole right to control it, Hundreds of the
Clay wings in this part of the district are with
them. We cannot in fact be anywhere
else Now is the time Tor patriots of all par.
ties to stand by the flag Of their country.
Let national wings and national democrats
rally together to protect the constitution.

YouSG IIoLLASD--It will be recolected
that this young man, who was on board the
Arctic, continued at his post firing the signal
gun until the vessel went down. A corres-
pendent Of the n. Y. I6hss writing from
Washington says: 4
The father of young Ye.lsnd still clings to
the hope that by some Oh miracle as saved
Capt. Luce, his son has Stlo escaped the per-
ik of the Arctic's wreck. Convcrsing with
him to day, he exclaimed, "My boy is not
lost; will not give him up. But" he con.
tinued, "bettcr thousand times that he
should perish in the manly discharge Of his
duty, than have saysd q craven life by such
cowardicc' and sclfshness as marked the con-
duct of many Of the crew." That sentiment
will find an echo in every manly breast; and
the proud consciousness that his son went
down standing at his post, his head still
wrcathcd by the smoke Of the signal gun he
had fired for the last time just before the
wreck sank to its gloomy grave, will afford
the fathers heart no little consolation when
he realizes at least that his boy has finished
his duties on earth.
