What Of the Times.

Wheat is still declining, and as tn ,
phrase goes, "money Is tight. ~
Everybody says so. and all who a.
Tempt to collect, fully realize it. As
we have heretofore remarked, 10 il
not the scarcity of wheat. but the
want of livable prices. The majority
of the farmers of Northern Iowa
have planted too largely Of wheat.
and they are literally bankrupt on
the crop. Al the present time they
must necessarily sink twenty-five
cents on the cost Of raising before it
il off their hands, but it has come
upon them unawares. They are
caught by the stringency Of the times
and to meet their obligations they
must sell. To speak plainly, the far
mers of moderate circumstances have
gone it blind" during the past
three years. They have invested in
q crop that has become SO abundant
as to flood the market. And then,
too many have been unwise in their
plans. Instead of planting what
they could comfortably reap Ivy their
own means. they have availed them
selves of the "On time" system TO
such an extent as to embarrass them.
There was a time, before the high
pressure system was SO generally
adopted, that farmer would plant
his forty or eighty acres Of wheat,
and reap it by his own hands but
now such an amount requires the in
vestment ola seeder, reaper, and
probably thresher. These impli-
ments require the products Of the
farm for two years at least, to pay
for them. We would not advise
every one TO abandon the sowing of
wheat because this season has been
an urpr"fitahle one, but we believe
If every farmer will post himself suf-
ficiently, he will see that his better
plan is to- deal more in the raising of
stock, and less wheat. Only think
of n! Butter i'm Des Moines the
other day, brought the same as
wheat. Cattle and hogs are com.
manding high figures. A farmer i'm
Johnson County, sold thirty seven
logs, the other day, for one thousand
and .f0rty dollars, while another far
mer sold another lot, which he con.
sidered second rate. at eight cents
pound, live weight. A farmer told
Us few days since that oy his i'm.
vestments in ste ok, this year, he had
realized one hU q cd per cent.
II il not severe year for farmers
who have managed carefully and
not ruin entirely to wheat. The past
has been a lesson, let farmers profit
by it. Ify"u are owing anything. |
by all means sell your wheat, though |
you may not realize actual cost. You
are doing no less than the merchant
who has done business a whole year,
and made nothing. Unlock your
yraiperies, you are blocking all avan-
les of trade, and compelling the very
of the times which you
complain of. Sell your
wheat and pay your debts.

Terrible StcnmbOnt Dis
astor on the NIissiS-
Sippi.
Over TWO Hundred Persons were
Burned ard Drowned.

4 most htart-r9nding catastrOphy
occurred on the Mississippi river,
near Neeley's Landing, ten miles be-
low Grand Tower on the nigns at
! Oct. 9th, at about O'Clock. The
! st. Louis and New Orleans steamer
Stonewall, which left St. Louis on
Tuesday evening, heavily laden with
passengers, horses, mules, hay and
freight of every description, took fire
by sparks from the chimney, to the
hay, and, despite all efforts, was
burned to the waters edge.
When the fire broke out every eff
fort was made to land, but the
steamer was so heavily laden that
she could not be brought nearer than
one hundred yards Of the shore.
Great confusion and terror prevs lied.
There were about 250 cabin and deck
passengers aboard, quite number of
whom were women and children.
The flames spread with great rapidi-
ty. Scores of men sprang into the
water aud attempted to reach the
shore by swimming. Nearly all of
these were lost. Every conceivable
object that could he obtained was
thrown into the water, and to these,
passengers ciumg with all the tenaci-
ty OF life.
The steamer, Belle Memphis, Cap
tain Crane, OH her way to st. Louis,
reached the sceme during the lire,
and picked up from the water all
that are known to be saved. The
pilot, engineer, stokcr, carpenteran
forty four passengers are known 10
be saved. The Captain, the clerks
and other officers, deck hands and
many passengers were lost. All the
books and papers of tie boat were
lost, as also Were the cattle and other
freight on board. y number of per-
SONS died after reaching the shore,
from exposure in the water. There
was no explosion. All the women
and children we've lost, nearly, If not
all being burned TO death.
The conduct of the officers and
passengers is said to have been
heroic. Such an appalling scene
has not been witnessed on the Missis-
sippi for II good many years. The
saved were kindly cared for by the
officers of the Belle Memphis, and
were carried TO st. Louis. The nnm-
Der lost will probably reach 80 souls.

The following resume of the har-
vest prospects prevailing at the great
food supply centers in Europe, was
reported on the LIST Of Oct:
The accounts Of the harvest in
Germany are very unequal, varying
in different districts from good to far
below the average yield On the
whole, the grain harvest of
Middle Germany WAS below the
average; that of the Southern States
was far better. From Austria We
hear that the yield of corn is consld-
erably smaller than in the last two
wears; the same is true of Roumania.
The Russian harvest is stated tn have
been good, and the crops have no-
where failed so completely asin some
places last year. The fodder is every
where poor, with the exception of a
few mountainous districts. There
has been very little clover, and both
the hay aid wheat have been much
injured by the unfavorable weather.
On the other hand there has been q
good deal of straw. Both potatoes
and beets have suffered from the heat
and drought of July and the rains of
August. The disease has also ap.
peared with more or less virulence
in some parts. The hopes entertain
ed for the potato harvest are not,
therefore, high; but it is said the
beet Is improving. The hops are
said to be in very poor condition,
partly on account Of the weather and
partly from insects and the disease
which have appeared in many gar
dens. Scarcely q quarter OF the
usual yield is expected. But little
fruit has been gathered. and even
what was is poor in quality. This is
particularly the case with apples and
pluns. Nor will 1866 he numbered
among the select vintages. as the
quantity of grapes is small and their
quality Inferior.
