The late large advance in the price Of Wheat in
the face OF the new harvest has induced To look
back the prices Of the last four years.
and We nothing in experience to justify it,
except such deductions a. may be drawn from the
effects Of late rains. We hare carefully eonsider-
ed all tho circumstances--atmosphe political
and statistical, including the price Of Geld and
repeat, that We see reason for high prices q
present.
In 1854 the Banks, working upon means forced
upon them from the East, encouraged spscsistion
10 such an extent that in the fail Of that year We
came near having general susf ension, instead Of
the partial one that did take place.
In 1885, Wheat was we'll known to be short
crop, and the supply Of Corn decidedly deficient.
Now matters are, 10 great extent, reversed, yet
prices ut Chicago and Milwaukee are higher BY
Fifty p cent, taking Gold isfO account, than
NJ this time last year, rs cents being about the
average price in Gold. Now 1t is 81 .12al.3o
We call upon the Banks to discourage specuia-
ton, and let the grain find its way to market. In
directly they will be benefited more BY this
course than any other.
With peace in Europe. and no tidings OF any
deficiency there; large stock Of Corn still 10
this country. and in the aggregate bountiful bar
vest, there seems no legitimate ground to expect
that the present price Of Wheat will be ntaiped
There is no doubt but that the reports Of dam
age done 10 the crops throughout the Northwest
By the late rains greatly exaggerated. Since
the rain Of Saturday last we have had cool and
beautiful drying weather, and in . great many
places where wheat j. said to have sprouted In the
shock. it viii with little care, be saved in excel
lent condition. This system of croaking, with =
view TO enhance prices cannot be too strongly
deprecated at this season of the year. Our f.ci.
tiles for transporting Grain to the seaboard are
the best, limited, and If shipments are restricted
or deferred few weeks, the high rates Of freight
which always rule towards the close Of navigation,
and they will be higher this year than ever will
leave the farmer but little for his Grain where il
has been sent two three hundred miles by rail
before reaching this market. Our advice to the
farmers is to send in the new Wheat as soon ~
possible and get the present high prices 1t is all,
if not more, than it is worth, considering the i'm
mense amount throughout the West that must ere
long be marketed. Don't be deluded by the cry
Of damaged Wheat and hold on to yours in the
hope of getting two dollars p bushel. The coun-
try east Of is bare Of Wheat, and higher prices
consequently can be obtained now than ater In the
season. Chicago Journal Of the I4th.
