The Price md Pr0specs or Bread
We have remarked the extraordinary
phenomenon Of breadstuffs gong from East
q West instcsd Of West to East, and even
from Europe to America in few exception
al instances. The fact Is that there is more
hous and wheat ct the East than At The w est.
and although the stocks on hand in New
York are much larger than last year Il this
time, while lAses shpments ere made from
California, those in the West are much
more than proportioniliy smaller, and prices
equally high; % that the sxgregate of
hreadstuffs in the country 10 evidently re-
duced enough to fully account for the pres
cnt enormous rriees. Among the eau es Of
scarcity are the short western crops Of last
year (rcsultlns parity from scarcity of la.
boz winch the war has left as me lanchclly
memorial of lis csrnsge) the half extinct
agriculture OF the South, aud its heavy
drain upon the Northern markets. The an
ticipated crops, rich as their promise is,
cannot therefore exert their natural effect
upon prices, nni will not begin 70 replenish
the market At al under two months. But
before that tine, If no new calamity or por.
tent intcrvenes, the conipg harvests will
cast their shadows before, and discourage
the extortion Of SPECTATORS materially
When they are fairly in the field, it may be
nationally hoped. the prices Of food will
come down to more reasonable scale than
has been for years. The most cheering &C

TO have fallen u inches. This Is unfavor-
able for q further rise at this point, aud
the Gov. Allen VIII have close Mt to de-

were being IN ade last evening to bring her
to an even keel by placing her fuel on the
bow. Unless the river should fall, Captain
Pink Varble designs making the attempt
TO take the Gov. Allen over the falls this

Several accidents having occurred from
the explosion of don key-englne" boil
ers, Secretary McCulloch has issued an
order to supervising inspectors, dated De-
cember 10, in which he says: " In order
that disasters of this kind may be pre-
vented in future, so far as the precaution
and vigilance of the Government can be
made effectuaE 1t is hereby ordered hat

tine.
On sunday, man who lives at Widow
Waters, some Is miles below this city,
after carefully crossing the river in a skin,
and inspecting the channel, writes that
there is only tweAty-four inches at that
point. A gentleman just up FROM Hat
Island. gives tWenty-s seven inches as the
water on the bar there. Upon the whole,
we consider the river unprecedente dly low.
