Strawn, Cook * Moore have commenced
building Steam Grist Mil at that Mace
it is an institution much needed, and Will
doubtless pay the enterprising proprietors
good interest on their investment. The
size of the Mill or number of run of stone
they propose to put in, we are not advised
of; but from the business reputation Of
the men, have no doubt they will put ar
a Mill Of sufficient capacity to do all the

Wheat Crop.

The Cincinnati Price G'.a"eat, which, With
other commercial papers Of the eastern
cities month AGO, estimated the wheat
crop Of the present year at fifty millions
above any former year, in 4 late number
backs down from these large figures, and
on more careful estimate, arrives at the
conclusion that thespresent years crop is
about an eighth, or 25,0oo,000 bushels,
short Of the crop Of l~jI.
The natural Inference would seem to be,
that if the present low prices are caused
by the exaggerated STAT ments put forth a
month ago in reference to the crop just har-
vested, now that the over estimate is appa-
rent, prices must appreciate, and this we
find is actually taking place Wheat is go
ing up, although slowly. That it will at
tain high figure, however, before winter
sets in, is not now. probable Unless than
months lake navigation will close, and heavy
dealers in the west must soon begin to make
their calculations with reference to storage
through the winter, or shipping ct the
high freight charged by railroads. There
is, however, good reason to believe that by
spring wheat must command a good price;
and, although it would undoubtedly help
to make times easier if the farmers sold
their wheat now. it would seem to be the
part of wisdom to hold on until spring.
These are simple suggestions, the worth
of which most Of our farmers are more ca
pable OF judging of than we are. IN a
matter of this kind we never take the res
possibility Of giving advice We can only
suggest facts and considerations that may
be worth ponGering.

there is the usual republican rhetoric
about the equality of the human family"
