THE WHEAT CROP.

On every side u heard the clank Of tho
reaper, and boforc the week shall have ended
tho largest and best crop OF wheat ever har.
vested IN Lafayette county will have been
secured. The aeroago Is the largest ever
sowcd; tho quality Of tho grain ia Of the
best. aud q mora favorable season for scc,ir.
ing It never has boon known. In order that
tho hopes OF our farmers may DO fully real
ICED, Il only remains that they shall receive
rcnumcrating prices for the product Of their
patience aud toll. The prcscut price Ia DIS
cournglng, and II II should bo maintained
win barely compensate for the outlay In
making and securing the crop. The future
IL involved In obscurity and doubt, aud no
man, whatever his experience, can safely
advise. We have conferred with our lead
Ing wheat buyers from different sections Of
tho country, and with one accord they say
they arc not willing to risk more thaneighty
cents per bushel on tho best wheat, and yet
they would not advise their friends and
patrons to scllsat that price.
From every section Of II country III
which winter wheat Is successfully grown
VIC have a favorable account of the crop.

ginia and Kentucky, the harvest Is repre-
sented TO be tho best In many years, and tho
weather is highly favorable for securing 1t
In good condition.. In the face OF these re.
ports a depressed market should be expect
cd. In order that we might advise our far
mers as to the most propitltious time for
marketing their wheat, We wrote to an cx-
perienced wheat dealer Of st. Louis, from
whose letter we extract the following;
Sr Louis. MISSOURI.
Thu country Immediately tributary to st.
Louis ~rejoiccs in the hest crop of wheat,
both In respect to quantity and quality ever
made. A large per cent Of this crop, judy
ing from the past, will be threshed from the
shock and rushed Into this market, thereby
creating supply largely in excess of 'lc-
Mand, and consequent low prices. Wheat
threshed from the shock, before 1t has gone
through u sweat, Is not sought, nor Is It de.
sired by speculative buyers. 1t is too haz-
ardous. II our advice was requested la this
matter wherein experience is Of so lit le
value, we would advise just what we would
do, had we q valuable crop in the field, to.
wit: Rick 1t securely and await events
Our values here In st. Louis are determined
more by the crops of Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Iowa which Is exclusively spring
wheat than by the comp, tltive production:
Of the winter-wheat growing section sur
rounding us. 1t Is impossible to tell wha
the Northern production Will be with an!
degree OF certainty, rs the harvest does no
mature before the last OF July or tho first o

JAIL ESCAPE.

John T. Carlisle, a prisoner in our county
jail, under sentence Of death, sent hither
from Saline county for safe custody, togeth-
er with George Taylor, charged with horse
stealing, Martin Wyatt, negto, charged W til
numbering another negro in Dover, and
Newton Hardy, negro, charged with grand
larceny, made their escape about three
O'Clock last Wednesday afternoon. Carlisle
was ironed and confined in a separate cell.
from which he is supposed TO lave been de-
livered by the ether three. Ono of the IRON
bars which divides the prison hall from the
hall of the j%ailor's residence was sawed of
at the bottom and forced back, thereby max
ing an opening large enough to pass a mans
body. From the hall OF the residence the
quartette passed through the kitchen into
the yard and were free. They are still al
large, although diligent effort has been made
for their recapture.
Our county Jail Is not a safe p~rison-house
and we hope the county court will at once
take q step to have it made secure.
