TUE RUTLAND HERALD
The Price of Grain.

We noted some time ago the aecumuia'
tion of vast stores of grain at Odessa anu
az other points on the Black Sea. we
now have reports of the collection at sew
o,o1 othar nlaoes, on the Baltic and else
-uhoro If immense magazines of bread
etuffs The theory on which these move
,,,epts have been made is, that on the ees-
sation of the war a great demand Will
or;so both in France and Germany, and
tho+ corresponding profit will then be
resIized. SO plausible does this seem to
the European mind that it is said large
amounts of capital have been embarked in
the speculation; English dealers, accord
ing to the London Press, being especially
active participators. Now that the end
of the war is generally supposed to be at
hand, the speculation in breadstuffs on the
other side of the Atlantic will receive a
great impetue, and probably be attended
with no little excitement.
Symptoms of a like nature have begun
to show themselves here. Ripples in the
Western market presage the coming OF
the breeze, and many who wish to grow
rich qnickly are trimming their sails with
the hope of being waited to fortune.
There is a similar movement in our East.
ern cities, although it has hardly yet as
sumed extensive proportions. 1t is to be
hoped that a conservative and prudent
course will generally be adopted, and that
we shall not be called on to record, in con-
neotion with the grain markets, another
period of feverish speculation, of reaction,
and general loss. There is considerable
danger, as we have before suggested, OF
over-estimating the advantage to Ameri-
Can growers of the prospective foreign de-
maud for breadstuffs. 1t was supposed
by many that prices would rise here
as one immediate consequence of the
Franco Prussian war. Yet. as a matter
of fact, taking for illustration the second
qualities of wheat and corn, the prices are
far lower now than ON the declaration of
hostilites. Thus, at Chicago this grade
of wheat on the 18th of July-just before
the declaration of war-was about $1.lS
az against ninety-seven cents now; and
corn was abont eighty-four cents at
against ffty-four cents now. This il a
very good thing for the mass of our peo-
pie, if not for the spectators for a rise. 1t
certainly does not Indicate general ex-
pectation of higher prices.

THE SPRINGDALE STORIES. - The
Springdale Stories, by Mrs. S. B. G,
Samuels, are six little tales of school and
home life, pleasantly illustrating the vir-
tues of patience, obedience. courage, hon
esty, self-denial and faith. They are pub
lished by Lee & Shepard, TO whom the
little folks are furthermore indebted for a
new "Prudy book" called Little Folks
Astray, in which the Parlins and Cliff
fords appear again, as lively and enter
tanning as ever, and Dotty Dimple goes to
New York and gets lost, but is found
again and lives happily ever after. Mrs.
Samuelo always charms the children with
her writings, and the mere announcement
of a new work from her pen is enough to
set them all wild, and also cause
pleasurable sensation to their parents, as
they know that their children are being
amused aud instructed at the came time.
