The BreadstufTs supply and
Prices.

In its last issue the New York Com
mercial and Financial Chronicle gives
some interesting views, based upon care
full consideration and critical exsmina-
ton, as to the position and prospects Of
the -four and wheat market. 1t sees no
reason to anticipate extreme low prices
the coming year. The yield for 1871
promises to be rather less than 1870,
while the only increase is in Winter
wheat, which constitutes but mere moi
ETY. of the aggregate supply. As the
crop of Spring wheat is reported fail
ure in some sections, a small falling off
in the yield of this grade will Offset a
great relative increase in the yield of
Winter wheat. The season has certainly
not been favorable one in Great Brit
ain, and from portions of the Continent
unfavorable reports are being received.
Stocks are now liberal in many markets !;
in others, New York among the number,
there is very small supply; and, in
the aggregate, the principal markets of
the United States and Great Britain do
not show more .han sixty per cent. of the
wheat on hand which was on hand one
year ago. 1t would appear, therefore,
that in the face of the liberal supplies
called out by high prices, and the check
upon consumption imposed by these high
prices and an exhaustive war, stocks
have largely diminished during the past
year. How, then, is the country to get
along another year without increased
supplies, with consumption increased by
peace in Europe and the consequent re-
vival of commerce and manufactures and
by the lower prices now ruling? Ger
tainly, thus far, the export demand has
shown no signs of falling off; it will
probably increase; hence there is very
little reason to anticipate that prices will
be low for any considerable period.
The movement in corn surprises every
body. The extent of the home demand
is really astonishing, and it finds expla-
nation in the scarcity and high prices of
hay and oats. Corn is the only cheap
feeding vegetable product that we have.
Its condition is excellent and favorable
to storing on speculation. The same
fact favors large export, and although
receipts have been excessive, the whole
supply has found ready market at a
moderate decline, with every indication
that slightly reduced supplies would pro-
duee a sharp reaction. 1t is too early
to speak definitely of the corn crop OF
1871, for it is still subject to injury from
forest and wet weather, and of course,
therefore, it would be idle to specula tie
upon the future of prices.

CHoLERA.-We are told the cholera
IS coming. The dispatches from New
York state that the threatened approach
of cholera is being met By every pre-
caut0ary measure on the part of the
health authorities in the oity and quar-
antine. The work of cleansing the
streets With lime and other disinfeetants
is commenced. Th0uarantine OBsers
state that up to the present time no chol-
era has been detected on vessels entering
that port. Nevertheless it cannot be
doubted that the cholera is on its march.
Fortunately for humanity, its march is
slow Should it even cross the Atlantic,
ample time will be allowed after its ap-
pearance on the front for the interior to
be forewarned of its approach. We
would not, however, thereby delay any
sanitary precautions.
The London Times of July 21st says
If we may credit the accounts which We
receive from every quarter, terrible and
subtle enemy is apr ching the s5ares

marked track. For some time past chol-
era has been ravaging Persia, where

until it has grasped Poland, and has
made its appearance in virulent form
