The arrival Of sugar and molasses at New
York, last week, was very large. During
four days, ending on Saturday, as many
as fifty-four vessels arrived at the port la
den with cargoes of sugar and molasses a.
lone. The arrivals on Saturday amounted
to se23 hogsheads. The louisiana crop
this year promises to be good one, and
present high prices will take from produ.

sale, SO that upon the appearance Of the
new crop-indeed so fast as it becomes
certain that the supply Of sugar will be a.
bundant-prices may begin to recede:--

NEW PAPER AT PRAIRIE DU CHIEN.-A
new weekly paper, Republican in faith, is
to be started abou! the 1st Of July next,
at Prairie du Chen, by Mr.. WM. Hull
Upon a short acquaintance with Mr. HILL
during our short visit to that city last week,
we Judge him qualified in every respect fol
the station he is about to fill. But, we
give the following from the Madison Jour
nal, where he seems to be better known:
E'Mr. Hill is one of our State Journal boys,
having graduated, as journeyman printer, in
this office, and worked here for several years,
subsequently, as i compositor, in which ca
pacity he was one of our most esteemed and
faithful employees. He is young man OF un-
improbable character and habits, industrlou:
aud skilliui in his vocation, and has both the
ability and the energy, if we mistake not, &c
make an excellent newspaper"
We have never known a paper started
under more favorable circumstances.

Horse sfeaIing-a Word Of Caa-
ton.

ton.
Several horses have been stolen in Grant
County within week or two, and it is
very evident that horse thieves are about in
various vicinities. Mr.. Whiteside at Mt.
Hope adyertises his horse has been stolen
and we hear of Others. Suspected per-
sons are pointed out everywhere, as being
burglars, horse thieves, bigamists or rob-
|bers. These circuses are thought to have
a train of bad characters following them.
Our people are suspicious of all who are
without money and yet not seeking en-
ployment, and well they should be-con-
lsidering that seldom does villain, nor
even convicted horse thief, ever 60 from
Grant County to the Penitentiary. Such
considerations throw people into fever
and they thirst for vengeance. Under
such state of feeling everywhere prevail
ing, dreadful penalty awaits the horse
thief if he is taken; light fingered crimi-
nails will fare no better. The people have
been victimised without any penalty being
awarded the victimiser-until the County
Jail has more to resist from without than
from within. May that sword of God
which guarded the garden Of Eden be
turned against the hers thief that he may
not enter Grant County to be smitten by

road Stocks are selling in Wall Street:

These are low rates-so considered, and
the tendency is downwards. State stocks
are sliding down, and city stocks and stocks
of every kind. Confidence is low on
stocks and Bauks-faith is not overly high
on anything, even Wal-st. religion is at a
discount. Honor is dear and scarce in the
financial world-yirtue, none in market
patriotism in no demand and only kept on
neutrality-suspicious. at par-pride, mar
ket glutted-politeness, cheap-talent, out
of season-sincerity, only used by Jew
peddlers, therefore, all appropriated.

Heavy rains have fallen and the ground
is we'll watered. Crops are doing inc
never better for years.
Scarcity and nothing but scarcity has
run up provisions to inconve'iient prices !;
potatoes at LA Crosse, $3.50 per bushel,
Ia: Prairie du Chen $3.50, and d dollar
quite generally; oats dollar and corn IS
cents; meat is double former prices: LA
bor-common day labor, Sl,26 to $l,5O;
mechanic labor, $500.
Farmers begin TO realise what we have
long been trying to prove TO them: that
the great west will consume more than the
west can produce for years--that prices OF
provisions will be high, no difference about
eastern prices and no difference about
whether financial crisis comes or not
The west is an empire with supreme pow
ers to regulate her own prices and her own
supply and demand. Lastly, such har-
vest for years for farmers is about to com
mence in the west as history has not re-
vealed the future never will behold a
gain.
