THE GRAIN TRADE,

Sept. lst. The European commercial
adyices received yesterday have produced
wonderful effects in the commercial centres
Of the United States. Heretofore the ten
dency has rather been downward than up
ward, but now we hear but little talk about
low prices. Within 24 hours wheat has
advanced to 8 c, with good demand for
all receipts. To-day $4,000 bushels Of
wheat is reported, and this amount does
not include all Of the receipts. Shipment
up to p. IN. to day vii be over 100000
bushels. These figures are considerably
larger tbaa those published at correspond
il,@ dates last year, and yet they seem small
when we compare them with our expecta-
tons, which are almost unlimited.
The markets were very active and excited
to-day. Buyers were as numerous as sell
lers, end general buoyancy pervaded both
parties. No. wheat has advanced to Z
c, since yesterdays edition, and is freely
bought to-day at ST 90 in store. No. q
50 to 9s1, Mol Club $l,02, extra Club
81 ,04 del. AT last the long wished for
time has come for the farmers. For
months they have been looking forward to
the time Wien they could get One Dollar
per bushel for their wheat. That time is
now at hand and we may justly expect them
to sell without stint.
Flour is more active at 10 to 15c, adj

From the Patriot.
ABOUT WHEAT.

MEssss. ..EDIroRs Having had extend
ed opportunity to Judge, and taken consid-
cradle pains TO arrive, as near as may be,
at the fact, | was satisfied fully that the
wheat crop Of this 81 ste the present harvest,
will reach 100000 bushels, though
many put it under that quantity.
Take the statistics Of the pasttwo years,
from the assessors return, land other sour
ces) which do not overrun the facts, and it
is perfectly safe to say that there are one
and half million 40 es of wheat harvested
the present season, which will yield at least
an average of twenty-five bushels the acre,
(many putt higher through the state,
and that will produce an aggregate Of
Mirty-segen million bushels, which is GER
tainly safe estimate.
SuRpLUs.-Stasticians, and others, have
generally for commercial or economic pur-
poses allowed five bushels head to feed
the population-man, woman and child,
for the year; and taking the present popu-
lation Of Wisconsin at one million, which
cannot be far above the true figure, and five
million bushels will be required for home
consumption, then allow the same number
Of acers to be sown for the next crop--say
one and half million at two bushels Of
seed to the acre, and two and a quarter mil
lion os bushels will be peeded for seed (;
which added to the FIVE millions for food
will amount to seven and quarter million
bushels, all told, required for home use,
leaving the large and handsome quantity
Of nearly 30,000,000 surplus for sale.
When this is all marketed the clear profit
left in the state viii probably be-but can
not far exceed twenty-five cents per bushel,
or seven million dollars; sum amply suf
ficient to pay up all the legitimate debts Of
farmers, mechanics and merchants, and
leave something to make a large amount
os needed Improvements.

WHERE THE LAND OFFICE Is.-Ikr. Ed
tor You know It is generally supposed
that Editors know everything. | wish to
inquire Of you, and Il rough your excellent
paper of your numerous readers, where the
books and papers Of the Mineral Point
Land Office have gone to. There were a
number of us entered land at that office IN
der the graduation act, and otherwise, for
which we have never received patents. 1t
is important for us to know where to ap-
ply for them. AN INQUIRER.
Cassville, Aug. 1860.
The Land Office is now located at St.
Croix. Those having business at that Of
flee should address, Land Office, St. Croir,
W9s. The removal of the Land Office
from Hudson to St. Croix was noticed in
the Herald at the time but probably the
notice escaped the eye Of some Of those in
terested.

GRANT COUNTY CENSUS ITEMS.

In conversation with Assistant Mar
shall Thos Hagill for this the Sd Assembly
District, we learn as follows:
lie has completed the enumeration, and
has visited 1880 families. He finds the
district to contain nearly 5000 inhabitants.
The village Of Platteville now has rising
100 inhabitants, while the township has
over 5000. During the year 1859 there
we're SO deaths in the village, and 20 in the
township.
The village Of Washbmn in the town
ship Of Lima has So inhabitants. Number
in the township we could not learn.
Clifton has 1926 inhabitants. This IS
one Of the most productive townships in the
district, and will show some Of the best ag-
ricutural returns from Insecurity. In this
township Mr.. Hugill found family Of four
persons, the man being 43 years old, and
his wife claiming to be 27. They had two
daughters. The oldest was 10, and the
Youngest so the mother said. Amoth-
er only n years old having daughter on
Ia la mother at years Of age Mr..
II. did not believe it.
Wingyille village contains 200 inhabi-
tants, but we could not get the number Of
inhabitants in the township.
The township Of Blue River IS very thin
" settled, and most of the inhabitants are
Bohemians. 10 get along among them
and other foreigners there, Mr. II. had to
employ an interpreter girl 8 or 10 years
old, who speaks four or five different langu-
ages. Her name is Christian Bremen, and
she IS a Bohemian. Eight families he could
get no information from. The number Of
inhabitants we did not learn.
The village Of Muscoda now has 4l6 in
habitants, large number Of. the dwellings,
being vacant. The population ofthe town
ship we did not get.
Watertown- Mr.. II. found very little Of
it settled. lie did not give US the number
of inhabitants Here he found one family
of l6 children, all healthy, and their parents
in comfortable circumstances. The post
office Of this township is Boscobelin Bosco-
bel township.
The Oldest person in the district il a wo-
man 90 years old, native Of New Jersey,
still enjoying life, has been resident Of
Wisconsin II years, and she says She well
remembers the first enumeration Of the peo-
pie Of the United States, this beng the
eighth time she has been put upon the gov
ernment lists.
In the whole district there are but 6 nc
groes-4 males and females.
The average number Of bushels Of wheat
to the acre last year was about II. OF
corn about so
From what can be Judged, this year wheat
will average 20 bushels to the acre. No
estimate can be made Of corn, but the APP
pearances are indicative Of large crop.
If the other assistant Marshals in this
county have done their work as thoroughly
"a we think Mr.. Hugil's list, when pub
lished, viii show him to have done, the
statistics Of Grant county VIII reveal many
facts not now to be believed. Making an
estimate Of the other districts by this, il will
be found that Grant county has about 35,-
600 inhabitants, and sufficient uncultiyated
territory to sustain population Of twenty
times that number Grant Go. Fitness.

s.The Grant County Herald saws Judge Dunn, Ex-Gov
Dewey. and some three hundred other democrats In
Grant county will vote for BrecaiEridge and Lane.-
JanesUiAe Gazette
We did not say that some hundred dem
ocrats Of Grant county wouldsupport Brock
inridgo. We said it was reported That
Judge Dunn and Ex-Gov. Dewey would
support Breckenridge; also, that some 800
La Fayette county democrats, reports said,
would vote for Breckenridge. Ills report
came to us from Ii Fayette CO., Brock
inridge man. We since learn that Judge
Dunn will support Douglas. We do not
think Giant viii give Breckenridge over
40 or 80 votes-may be, not over % as
most if not all the Postlnasters viii vote
for Douglas.
To Lancaster, but ono, DR.. Baltzel, a
Kentucky gentleman, will vote for Brock
enridge. He fayors and votes for celored
suffrage, upon the principle that in a free
state, all men should be free, and the ballot
box too should be free. While he tayors
slavery, he would have it protected by law
in the territories, as he thinks the Constitu-
ton requires. Consequently, he fayors
breckenridge, as logical sequence.

GARIBALDI AND AUSTRIA.

The advices by the Vanderbilt indicat,
that Austria begins to fear Garibaldi fiji
as much as it once feared Kossuth.
1t is believed thai Garibaldi intends e
attack Austria, not on the Venetian, but OF
the Croatian coast, by attempting a disem
barkation at Fiume. The Austrian author
tiles believe that he viii endeavor to pro
yoke revolution in Crotia and Hungary
before proceeding to Venetia. All til,
coasts were vigorously watched BY the I'm
peiial cruisers.

Fusion CoNFUsED.-Dr. Ogden refuses
to be eleetor on the Fusion ticket in n. Y.
unless they allow him 10 vote the Bell Ev-
erett ticket. Edward Huntington, also one
Of the fusion electors, positively declines the
position, disappearing Of the arrangement
aud deprecating the throwing Of the cleo
ton into the House, as dangerous to the
peace Of tie country. Mr.. Huntington
noel not be frightened; combination Ct
all the .fpse-able material in the State Of
New York would not carry il against Lin
coin. Those who have any doubt a. 10
that State are either not aware 81 do not
cal to mind that if even half the votes cast
for Fillmore are cost for Lincoln, (which is
yielding too many BY 2o,ooo,) Lincoln
would have the State by $4,000 majority.
Breckenridge viii also have some thousand
votes, so that there is hardly doubt but
that Lincoln viii have majority in that
State Of $4,000 Or upwards.
