IMPROVING PROSPECTS.

IT would appear from all accounts. that the fears oil
the people rs to the approaching scarcity of provisions
have been unnecessarily exaggerated. Both wheat
and corn have declined latterly in the Northern mar
kets, and the opinion has been hazarded by sume
some time 10 come. Pork also has fallen, and the
chances are tha, bacon Of the new crop, will come in
at much lower rates than were anticipated few
weeks ago. One cause Of this favorable turn in the
provision market unquesionably is, the Frightening
prospect Of peace in Europe. Another, is the now
ascer,ained fact, that The provision crop Of the United
States for the last year WAS truly immense. If peace
be established in Europe, the exports Of breadstuf
&C. from the United States will be materially dimin.
shed. If at the same time, as is probable, the
plus produce of our country shall be thrown into the
home market, we can no reason why the cost of
living should grow less and less for the six
months. In our immediate section OF South Carolina
prices at present running entirely too high. With
the cheering prospect before Of general decline in
the provision-market, and with the known fact in
view: that is selling at 55 cts. bushe within
GO or 70 miles Of us, people doing wrong in
either asking or giuing more than Is cents bnshe
for that article There is large amount Of grain 10
spare in Edgeeld District, but held back, at present,
for even higher prices than The excessive ones which
now rule. This, we respectfully ,uggest, is being
greedy to degree scarcely justified by the christian
code Of morais At the time that It il
by merely prudential considerations Put your sur.
plus in the market at on fair terms. Otherwise
you may but incommodo your needy felIow.citizens
and after aif.ake less fo- your produce.
