exercises and acting as president. The meeting OF
yesterday was somewhat similar, except that DO

Mr.. Falconer announced that the Albany stables
had become so corrupt that they required
cleaning and that although it was Herculean
task. still he was willing, for the good
OF his country to undertake the job, and
in order that lie might proceed in a legitimate
manner he announced himself as candnate for
nomination for Assembly. IL Is q matter OF record
that several OF the fortynve persons present at the
mass meeting voted for the measure, where
upon Mr.. Faconer announced that he was unanl-
mously nominated the temperance candidate. To
be sure II dld look something IKE putup job. for

no time TO meet week days, he thought IL ennently

Sow Wheat.

There is Some Danger that, owing to
the very low price of wheat this fall,
My of the farmers will SOW less than
uSuGl. We think such course would
be uNwise. In very many cases it would
he good policy for farmers to SOW less
ground, but to do so for the purpose Cf
raising mCIe wheat, and at less cost
per bushel. Thirty acres thoroughly
prepared and sown with a drill, will
produce quite as much, and probably
more wheat than fifty acres cultivated,
as very much of the wheat grOnnd is
titled in this country.
But to neglect to SOW wheat this fall
because it does not bring as much now
as it did year ago, would be acting
more unwisely than those farmers did
who killed off their sheep last fall be-
cause wool was low. We think that on
soil moderately well adapted to it,
wheat can be raised, at present prices,
about as preftably as other firm crops.
But unlike potatoes and fruits, that may
be more profitable sometimes, it can be
very easily kept for any length of time,
so that if present prices of wheat are
very low, it may be safely stored till
they come up, which will be in less than
twelve months. if large portion of the
farmers should yield to the present
temptation, and discard this crop alto
gether.

From theNew York Post.l

The most remarkable feature of the
fall and winter trade this year is, that
the Southern buyers have not only come
hither IN strong force TO buy goods; but
they have become the most desirable
CUSTOMERS, for whose business the neG-
chants are eager. The West, Oh the
other hInd, is not f1vorite Just now in
our markets. Western merchants COM
plain OF the stringency of money, and
bad cole Gtious of their outstanding
debts. which necessarily comes home to
the New York wholesale merchants.
Indeed, he Weste! q ;radeis in very un-
satisfactory state. Merchants have com.
planned that the West is living beyond
its ne ms, and that its people Gun into
debt. - ... 49,. (
While one hundred bushels Of wheat
of the West will buy now only half the
iron for instance, that it did ten years
ago, the bale of cotton VIII c,ually
purchase double the amounT OF iron it
did len yeJrs ago. The purchasing
power of the Southern staples, cotton
and suGar, u2s doubled.
Again. the West bat lately enjoyed =
GOOD credit in our markets, and now,
when times are hard with them the
Western merchants come iniO our mar
kets as debtors and borrowers. The
South, on the other hand. wiped of all
its old incur brauces loug since. No
credit wgs given it for the last three
YEAR: and s utheYn merchants come
into our market free of membranes,
in many instances with ready money,
and with the best prospects.
In dry goods, houses doing business
with the South are selling freely. But
it is noticed that the Southern merchants
who have come here to purchase ale now
very close buyers. The free and easy
way of Southern buyers, wEich was
formerly pToverbial, is no longer fed-
ture. Indeed, the Natchez merchant
who now buys goods i'll our market, buys
as closely aud jadiCiously as does the
melchaut who lives in Por land OF Ban
