WISCONSIN ELECTION. Despite the
persistent efforts OF the Greeley man
ayers, and their repeated boasts tina
Wisconsin would carry for Greeley,
our noble State has given fair Re.
publican majority. First reports
gave a majority of Is. 600, but later
returns from the northern counties
swell the figures to 10000. This
shows loss of 80 per cent, or 5000
on the vote Of 1s65-the largest re-
duction, wo believe, in any of the
Northwestern States.

datos for Congress are elected, by ma.

Wisconsin Tobacco.
From the GAINESVILLE Gazette.


A Wisconsin cnrrespon dent to the
Ne0 England homestead writing TO
that journal under the date of Octo-
Der 11th says:
Having noticed in your issue OF
September 20, that tobacco 10 Wis
consiD was total failure, | must cor
rect the statement do not know
who the person can be' VINO said be
was out west and found such to be
the case, but | must say that be did
not come as far Rock or Dane counc
ty, or else he has presented to you
false representation. In July and
August we did not expect much to-
bacco 10 Wisconsin, but the rains OF
September made them. Frost did
not come till September 20, and now
as near as we can tell we have
10 the State from ten to fifteen thou
sand cases of very fine quality tobae
co; it may be that | am setting il
three thousand cases too high. As it
it is very thin leaf, curing extraor.
dinarily fine, the quality will be such
that it ought to command nigh
price. Last year, 1871, Wisconsin
produced a crop offillers which went
at 81 cents per fb. This year, Wis.
consin has produced wrapper crop
fine enough to command good price.
Should there be very severe trosts in
the next thirty days, the amount may
be cut short by freezing 10 the sheds,
still we do not anticipate such Will be
the case"
The correspondent Of the Hcme-
stead is correct 10 his statement that
Wisconsin has produced very fine
wrapper crop this year, though he
under estimates the amount Taking
last years crop as a basis for an esti.
mate we place the tobacco product
of the present year at twenty thous-
and cases. The quality of our tobac.
co this season is equal to the best
ever grown in the state and we car
best account for contrary statements
only on the ground Of ignorance OF
malicious misrepresentation.

Withdrawn from storo yesterday for city
consumption: 1,165 bu wheat; 1888 bu corn;
ALAS bu cats; $50 bu rye; 3,472 bu barley.
The following grain has been inspected into
store this morning, up to 10 o'clock: Sc cars
wheat; 60 CARS corn; 10 cars oats; cars rye;
is cars barley. Total, 2o9 cars, or 81, 600 bu.
Tomorrow "wednesday being Christmas, will
be observed IS q holiday in commercial circles
The Exchange room in the Chamber of Com
merce will be closed to the members OF the Board
Trade (and to al others). The "extra' Board
room will be opened for business on Thursday
morning.
The bitter cold weather is just now the most
Or rorninent topic Of conversation in commercial
circles; and the remark it's 3 cold day is &C
tual1y heard as often as "Tu give an eighth" or
"No, I'll sell at quarter" How much Of rea-
son there is for 80 much attention may bo in
ferred from statement Of the fact that the
temperature in this city this morning was as far
below the freezing point Of wateras the freezing
point is below blood heat. It is no wonder that
hogs frcezo to death by the score, or that owners
OF even dressed hogs should be afraid to drive
them through the streets lest they should be
starved to DEATH # this kind Of weather should
continue much longer, it must certainly place an
e;a!,argo many kinds OF business, for 1t Is
difficult 10 see how ne can ever get used to IT.

Oats were very quiet almost to lifelessness-
but strong at about 1lc advance, in sympathy
with wheat; and owing, perhaps to the ezpecta-
