Black Sea wheat generally, 50saj2s.
HE supply OF grain Is SO abundant in
Greece that explorations are permitted.
In the Sea OF Azof the price is high, the
supply being small OH account Of heavy
rams. And this is the case in the Black
Sea ports, yet 1t does appear 10 average
more than SO per imperial quarter, or
about 81 per bushel OF our meas4re.-
And now, with an equal prospect that
wheat will fall as much at Odessa as it
VIII rise at Chicago, and that both are
alike valuable for TODD, let US see how the
case stands.
The present rate of freight per rail from
Chicago 10 New York is one dollar per
cwt; that is sixty cents bushel for wheat,
making 1t cost 81 20 u bushel, Delivered
The Winter rite of freight will be at
least 10 per cent. higher, advancing the
price to 81 81 bushel. The present
cost of wheat at Odessa, OF equal or bet
ter qualities than Chicago average, being

~ cents a bushel against the Illinois far
mer who is ho,d ng on for higher prices,
and aauterIng himself that his wheat IS TO
be exported, instead of co ming in contact
with wheat imported across the Atlantic
AID sold at profit Of SIX cents a bushel
upon present rates OF freight, or twelve
cents upon the lowest rates that can be
counted upon as soon as the navigation
closes.
We presume that vessels can be char
tered on the other side 50 as TO deliver
their cargoes here, by the first of Febru-
airy or that some Of the idle ships in this
port could be had on contract 70 20 and
return before the first OF March, or a
month before canals and lakes are open,
and arrive at the time when we may ex-
pect the greatest scarcity, if there is 10
be one, OF wheat aAd ilour lii This city.
Now, we pal the question TO Western
farmers: With such facts as these before
you IS it wise to hold your wheat for
higher prices? In language that some
OF you that have opened your farms out
OF the woods viii understand, W. ask, is
the game worth the powder7 Il il Is,
hold on, and trust TO luck nd not common
seaSe. .
1t does not look to US very probobIe that
aay man who knows enough TO tel! buck
wheat from beans, is very likely to pay ,
per cent month fer money to invest in
wheat or -four at present prices, to hold
for Il rise, while the Atlantic and Black
Sea are open now with an abundance of
money on the other side, TO send over
quantities of wheat, just 81 sure as the
price IS materially enchan ced above pres
en- quotations.
Let the fool 20 headlong-the wise
man will pause aud think. We have CIV

Profits of the Main Line.

A fslsehood pertinaciously adhered to
requires repeated contradiction. Last
week we gave the figures from official docu-

of being "draip upon the State" has
really been productive: and we now say
that the counsel employed by the Penna..
Rail Road Co., to prevent the injunction
admit in their ''paper book" which contains
their argument as submitted to the Jud ses
OF the Supreme Court, that the Main Line,
in the % years since its construction, has
produced net revenue of 81, ,64I ,220 90,
or about seventy four thousand ,ix hundred
dollars per annum. Remember, this is
quoted from argument Of the counsel for
parties in favor Of the sale. How now, wise
