BREADSTUFFS.

With . large quantity of1thecrop of
1869, yet on our hands, aud tho great
harvest Of the present. year daily-as
tho, grain is threshsd-givipg evidence
Of its,bountifuluess, closely follows the
question of whatshall We do with our
grain, and can it be disposed Of at
prices That will remunerate, that will
pay a reasonable profit, aud, in many
cases,ehelp out of his perplexities, the
farmer who iuds himself embarrassed
andsencumbered with his accumulated
debts. The price, especially Of wheat,
our staple, has through steam and rail
monopolies, through rings and combiua-
tons from the least unto the greatest,
fallen 80 low as to pay no profit to him
who ra,ses it, and to actually cause him
to lose money 10 its culture, unless he
be avery fortunate man. Nearly all of
our farmers are discouraged ia their
efforts to live and olothe themselves r.
specially, to improve their farms, and
to pay their honest debts, with the uni.
versally low price Of their produce and
. consciousness that there is a large sur
plus in the land. 49,. ~"
We believe that all the grain will be
needed, and at paying prices. No esti.
mste be made Of the great waste Of
Europe in its present distracted stats,
Of the destruction which has and will
ensue there as the result Of their
frightful war. Half = million of hostile
men are to day in the heart of France,
surrounding its capital, aud laying
waste its fields, while its people are de-
stroyfng their own substance, rather
than suffer il to pass into the hands Of
their foes. Over two million people
are besieged IN Paris producing moth
ing, and daily consuming its stores,
which have been greatly reduced since
the beginning Of hostilities. Other
parts Of Europe are putting on the siu-
ews Of war, fearing that its magnitude
II msy involve them at any moment, -
The food for these non-prod ucers
inust come from the grain fields Of
America. Supplies are now being called
forby the cities Of the East, and hold
ers in the great grain ma1ts are hold
ing to very firm prices. -
This would indicate, aud We 6rml,
believe a market will soon be found fo
!. al Of our wheat at advanced prices.
