The Western wheat Market,

A circular from Milwaukee, under date
of the 9th inst, reviews the wheat pros
pect as follows:
Our wheat market during the past week
has exhibited less excitement than previ-
ously, but there nevertheless has been
considerable fuctuation in prices, No. 2
opening at l. III, declining to 1O649, and
on the strength of the warlike news from
Europe, raising yesterday TO Ito. Some
of the heaviest rains of the season have
fallen udring the week, and though coming
too late to increase the quantity of the
now rapidly maturing crop, will have the
happy effect of materially improving the
quality. The weather has been cooler, and
the harvest will probably not be as early as
was expected a short time ago. The re-
ceipts have fallen off to about half what
they were last week, and our stock to-day
shows moderate decrease from last Satur-
day, but considerable disappointment is
felt at the shipments not reaching a half
million bushels. The Eastern markets
have ruled SO very dull that we still keep
above profitable shipping point, and YES
sci owners have had much difficulty in
finding shippers. There is quite feet in
our rivers waiting for cargoes and not much
prospect of their finding them, and this is
a very bad feature in the trade. Money is
much easier than it was, and spectators
can carry the property here on margins at
fair rates of interest, but the banks are
doing all they can to discourage carrying,
by declining to loan on wheat, believing it
unsound to have so large stock in store
SO late in the season. But for the warlike
adyices we probably would have q further
decline in values. The new winter wheat

CROPS i'm France,

The Paris correspondent of the New York
Journal Of Commerce, under date of June
81, says:
The wheat harvest hes already COM
menced in the south, and will probably
this year terminate in the great central
districts of the Beance and Brie, as well as
IN Picardy and the north, by the middle or
latter end of July. The tone of the differ
ent provincial journals has been somewhat
more encouraging on the subject during
the past week, and we are also promised
shortly the results of special inquiry set
on foot as to the state of the harvest by the
Minister of the Interior. Reliable informa-
ton on the point is greatly needed at the
present moment, when the tendency to ex-
aggerate and alarm is so prevalent. 1t is,
perhaps, as yet, premature to hazard any
decisive opinion as to what is likely to be
the precisive extent of the deficiency
which all allow to exist. But reckoning
the average consumption of wheat in
France at 100, 600. 900 of heetolitres, the
present calculation seems to be that there
viii be failure to the extent of %, 900, 900,
or one-quarter of the necessary amount
In good years perhaps France is enabled to
export to that extent, instead of being
obliged to import. The difference against
here, therefore, in financial point of view,
would be very considerable. As far as mere
supplies go, there viii be very little diff
Guilty in making up the deficiency. The
facilities of transport and the enormous
yearly increase of production in the West
ern States of America alone will easily fill
up the gap without any serious augmenta-
ton of prices, so far as the general public
is concerned. But the pressure will inevi-
tably be felt in the money market, as well
as in the loss sustained by the actual pro-
Queer. The worst feature, parhaps, which
is at present pointed out in provincial dis
tricts, is the large quantity of young andlean
stock which is being brought into the mar
ket. OF the loss of the first growth, at
least of hay, there can be little doubt. The
consequence is that the farmers are selling
their cattle for want of fodder, and the
wholesale price of meat is actually declin-
ing, to the benefit solely of the butchers,
who not only make no diminution in pres
ent prices, but look forward to large in
crease in the autumn, the deficiency which
| is now being created in the future supply OF
butchers meat being far less easily provi-
ded for than that of wheat.

Successful Advertising in the SCUM
Mansfield and IEigbcc OF Mem.

Mansfield and IEigbcc of mein-
phis.
For severaI months the readers of the
ITN1oS AND AMERICAN have seen in our col
nmn of s'City Notices" daily mention
Of the excellence of the medical prepare
lions by Messrs. Mansfield & Higbee, of
Memphis. Their house was established in
that city in 1910, and for thirty years has
been open, day and night, to the afflicted.
They have made those diseases most COM
mon in the South and Southwest special
study, and by long experience and tho
rough knowledge, have succeeded IN pre-
pairing the best medicines for their cure.
They are not empires or nostrum makers.
They are intelligent druggists, whose pre-
partitions meet with favor alike from the
people and the profession. But the merit
of these medicines would be of little
worth, unless their virtues were known to
the public. The proprietors hit the nail
on the head by advertising. Besides adj
yertising literally in most Of the first class
newspapers of the South Southwest, they
published an edition of their Family ~
mdnac for the present year, of half million
copies-which they will increase to mil
lion for 1871. They also publish the Gre
OtC mOftdtey, OOl4talAluS u Btodt QohA Vi
valuable information outside of its adver-
Using, fifty thousand copies of which
they distribute to the public each month,
for the cost of postage alone. In this way
their remedies have been made known to
hundreds of thousands-their business SO
enlarged that they are able to pay all ex-
penses, use the purest and best materials,
and sell at a very small advance on first
cost, and realize a reasonable profit. Thus,
both manufacturer and consumer are sub
stantially benefited.
While great numbers of Northern men,
by the unstinted use of newspaper adver-
Using, have become millionaires, owing
large share of their fortunes to the South
ern people, rarely, if it all, has it happened
that men of the South have dared, like
Mansfield & Higbee, to risk the expense of
competition with them. Yet all the advan-
tages are with home enterprise, as well in
cotton, iron and mechanical manufacture
as in the preparation of remedies for dis
eases peculiarly Southern. The Southern
man should do as well to advertise cotton
gin, or a rice cleaner in Nova Scotia, as
many Northern nostrums should do in this
latitude. Acting upon this idea, Mansfield
& Higbee are laboring for home people in
the cure of diseases common to our climate
are making tile fact k1lOaon, and are
prosperous and 0SefM Let others take
the hint, and press their business in the
same way, and we shall soon have a differ
ent state of things in this section.

TeNas odd FeIIoyys UNIVERSITY.

Rev. L Il Smothers, accredited agent
for the Texas Odd Fellows University and
Orphans Home, situated at Bryan, Texas,
has been in the city for some weeks. He
is a native of Tennessee and has during
his sojourn met with an encouraging re.

in the interests of which he is engaged.
He leaves our city to-day for East Tennes-
see, with the purpose of furthering the
objects of his mission. Early in August
he will visit St. Louis, and it is his design
eventually to visit the Western, Northern

.EnterprisIng, Very,

The 'sOhinese" reporter of our eoten-
porary seems to think.it Contemplating,
very" that we should have had the arrival
of the Chinise, the name of their inter
prefer, their number, the length and
nature of their contracts how they come
from st. Louis to Hickman and on here,
the relationships with them of Alexis
Theminani, and all the material facts con-
nected with their coming in our paper one
issue before he did. We see no remarka-
BILE exhibition of energy in the matter;
our readers are getting used to such things.
The material facts. and all the facts of
interest connected with their arrival we
published Wednesday morning. They
were obtained by interviews" with the
celestials and the gentlemen having them
in charge themselves. The facts are, we
sent a reporter at Hickman. He was there
when the Chinese were there. He came
on to this city the day and night they
came. At Kingston Springs there
was slight accident to the
train conveying the immigrants. While
the ''enterprising-very" reporter of the
Banner was, to use his own language,
''asleep in the caboose," our reporter on
board a midnight excursion train came on
to the city, reaching the depot at ~
o'clock. He reached the Office with notes
enough to have prepared a three column
article hadw desired to prepare one. When
our reporter left the depot he was assured
that the immigrants would be there at one
o'clock, and would remain but half hour,
and having been with them en- route he SO
stated among the results of his observa-
tons. 1t was only on the rubbing of his
eyes open next morning to find all the ma
terial results of his two days and nights
observations in the UNION AND AMERICAN,
and not jot of the same in his own paper,
that the reporter aforesaid became i'm
pressed with our being, on this particular
occasion ''enterprising, very"-this and
nothing more.
AS to the immigrants being delayed a
a couple of hours or more few miles from
the city, where our reporter left them and
came on through in time, it is nothin G
here nor there.
