1t viii be seen that the stock of wheat
is 800, 900 bushels more than q year ago,
and 3,GO0,OO bushels more than at this
period of 1868 The stock of corn, how
ever, is less than 100000 bushels
against 6, 100000 in 1869, and $500, 900
in 1868. The quantity of oats is 1900,
900 bushels below 1869, and about the
same as in 1868. The stock of wheat at
the Lake ports is about $500, 900 bushels
above that held at the opening of naviga-
ton last year, indicating that a heavy
supply may come forward within the next
few weeks. The receipts of corn, how
ever, can scarcely fail to be but nominal.
So far as respects the value of these two
descriptions of grain waiting for the
opening of the canals, it is not likely the
aggregate will at all exceed that of last
year; so that even assuming that the sur
plus were forwarded TO the seaboard
promptly, the movement would not be
likely to affect perceptibly the money
market.

The income tax in England is but two
and half per cent, and it is proposed
by the Government to reduce it to one
and two-thirds per cent. Here in the
United States-the land of the free and
of low taxes-it is no less than five per
cent; but then, as an excuse, il may be
urged that it costs nearly twice as much
to support The American Republic as it
does the British monarchy. If people
will have luxurics, they must pay for
them. Our freedom is good, but it is
mighty expensive.
