I'd AuiS Iapuidi stdecmtnt SHOWS tnaI our Wneat
expors is matter of importance in determin-
ing the price, and yet it does not go so far in
paying our foreign debts as the export OF cot
ton. While our cotton export sometimes ex-
ceeds two hundred million dollars invalue, our
wheat supplies seldom reach more thar twen-
ty million dollars. Ifmoney should continue
abundant, bank credits easy and paper cur
rency receive no check, speculation may en-
-hance the price Of wheat for while, but ii
cannot be permanent. Speculation has al
ways had something to do with the price OF
hreadstufs, and -whan. there. I. but ii.
any, surplus Spectators can, and often do
succeed in keeping up the price, but this
years surplus, we think, will be rather for
midable barrier against them and all their
schemes Of growing rich on what labor has
produced; at least we hope so.
There is but little old -four in the market,
and bakers are anxious to get hold OF it as it
is much more profitable for them than flour
from new wheat. The New York World says
that competition is 50 great for the old, that
medium grades from spring wheat bring as
much as -four Of choice grades from new win
ter wheat. The highest grades of old flour
from spring wheat sold recently in New
York at SIS per barrel, while double extra
Ohio. from new wheat, could be bought for
S12. 1t is really true that our granaries have
been well nigh exhausted, and that the high
price of flour for the last year is owing to
this exhaustion more than to spectators al
though they have done all they could. Our
granaries are now being partly filled up, and
we trust and believe the prices of breadstuffs
must 60 down to reasonable figure. tn
= The wheat crop for 1868 may be fairly reck-
oned at two hundred and fifty millions oil
bushels-about sixty millions more than last
year. Ir. t..l,.....f. d. g.. 4.

Our heat Export.

The nation that eats what another pro
duces, or wears what IL does not manufacture
is not on the highway 10 wealth and prosperi-
ty. No truth in political economy is palmer
than this. The more we export the better
for the country. And the question arises,
have we surplus of wheat which we can
send to other countries? And another qres-
tion comes up, is there demand for il =? The
New York World thinks it is now settled that
sufficient amount of wheat has been har-
vested to leave an unusually large surplus for
export beyond the necessary wants of the
home market. Ii this be the fact-and we
have no reason to doubt tive must seek
foreign market where we can dispose of our
redundant crop. And we suppose it may be
taken for granted that the price in Liverpool
win, in some good degree, determine the price
in New York, Chicago and other cities. This
has always been the case in seasons when
flour aud wheat have been largely exported.
Consumers have q deep interest in these
questions. They have been looking long and
anxiously for the time to come when food
S"oN'A NV ~AAfy oO apuiAunut, Uut aisO CHtdp.
Now the rates In Liverpool viii be deter
mined by the imports from Russia and the
continent, and the home market must also be
taken into the account. In boxing over our
foreign papers, we learn that the continental
crop will be larger than in former years, al
though the English harvest may be some
what deficient as it probably IS; but not so
deficient as to materially effect the prices in
either country. Taking this view Of the sub
ject and looking at it in all its aspects and
bearings, we may conclude that the indica,
tions point to year of cheap flour. The New
York World publishes the following table

The numbers of "Thc Nursery" as far back
as April come to us in batch, having loitered
| strangely somewhere ON their way, But they
are just as freshly welcome as ever. Miss
Seaverns' timid little experiment has become
Triumphant success. The Nursery is first
favorite of the little folks. We think the gen.
tie heart Of its young editor would be made
glad could she see what welcome visitor her
little book ia to a certain Orphan Asylum in
this city, where it comes every month The
little faces which are never lifted up to meet
mothers loving smile brighten like those of
happier children when they spy the familiar
green cover in their kind teachers hand. It
was a gentle and happy thought to provide
such a source of happiness for children, and
we wish Miss seaverns all imaginable success
