~ HOLD ON 10 YOUR WHEAT.

From all the iniormatio, whi,h eau
be gathered both from our exchanges
and the lealers at home, it is pretty
certain that the price Of wheat will con.
tinue to advance until at least it has
reached its old figures before the pan.

for the first tine iu macy years there
is . short crop 10 England, France and
other sections of Europe, aud the de-
mand for grain and -four from the u
8. will b . positive necessity on the
part Of those eountries, a. the remaining
wheat producing sections there will be
unable TO supply tho deficiency. There
has every year been more or less talk
about "foreien demand" which had no
foundation, but now it appears to be
based on something substantial.
A great many predict that Wheat
will be . dollar and half . bushel be.
fore another harvest. One thing it is
safe to say-that it will certainly be
worth more than 80 cents . bushel,
and unless debts are too pressing it Is
advisable to bold on for while yet be.

The principal obstacle in the way
now that We see, is, that when prices
do advance, the grain will be rushed in
so fast as to glut the railroads and ele.
vators and produce decline in price

This cannot be permanent, however,
for tn ere must be steady and constant
