Ohio, sends the following "discourse," for the

Iowa WHEAr-To-day there was sold
in this market, by Messrs. Elmore Broth
ers, for zoe. per bushel, 1000 bags of
choice club wheat. 1t was consignment
from Mr.. G. w. Brownell, of Clayton Gil
tv. Iowa. 1t is fine sample of wheat,
and rank with the best Of Milwaukee club.
Farmers will lose nothing by giving more
attention to curing and cleaning their
wheat, for when this is done, it always brings
from two to FIVE cents more in Milwaukee
than any market on Lake Michigan.-

WHEAT MAgKET-CAsSVILLE UPSET BY B0s
COBEL.

At our latest accounts from Cassvllle
and Boscooel, the rival wheat markets o.
Grant County-the former representing
the highest river market, the latter the
highest railroad market, wheat was worth
only As cents at Cassville and at Boscobe
so cents was paid. This reyerses the rule
heretofore prevailing, as the river market
has heretofore been the highest. We ac
count for the triumph of Boscobel in this
way: the transportation charges for wheat
by river have heretofore been very low
moi half, compared with the rats of NJ
&c NJ. Railroad. Lately, the railroad
kitchen managers concluded they coulC
make more money by reducing their rates
Had they natural eyes they might have
made the discovery before and come to ar
earlier conclusion. The saying that mo
nopolists are blind, is herein proven. lg
norance and blindness are no new crea-
tions.
