mixture is 50 much reduced in strength that
the drugs mnst be added to restore the taste,

/ PROSPECTS OF THE WHEAT MARKET. :. The
English papers are just now deep in the dis
cussion of a very important problem--the
price of wheat in the future. The wheat
crop Of Great Britain was an ample one,
and the demand of the United States was so
much reduced during the fall that prices de-
clined rapidly, the downward course of the
market being made more extensive by the
financial stringency which followed the lock-
ing up Of SO much capital in October and
November last by the New York railroad
rings. Butthe great drought of the sum-
mer in the British Isles, though favorable to
the growth Of wheat operated most disas-
trously On the root crops, and it is now found
that the farmers there have been feeding the
wheat so literally to their, cattle and hogs as
to seriously diminish the quantity on hand,
thus making the cold country much more
dependent on us for the supply of the COM
ing summer than has heretofore been deemed
possible. Private advices to this effect we're
received in our market yesterday, and che
consequence was material advance in the
price Of wheat, 1t is not well to be too san
guine, but the indications now. are that our
grain owners will yet be reimbursed for the
losses of the past six months by a considera-
BILE appreciation Of this important cereal
