Valuable Suggestions - Why
wheat is Likely to Rise.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. I, 1874.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. I, 1874.
Editor anti -Monopolist:
Our assertion last week, that our
wheat market is Zoe higher than East
ern and Continental markets has been
pretty well demonstrated during the
past week. Liverpool quotations are
9 to pence higher on spring wheat,
but our market not only failed to re-
spond to the advance, but suffered a
decline of fully 8 cents per bushel, and
this in spite Of speculative efforts to
sustain prices. The legitimate move
nlcnt is entirely nominal and we mast
have further adyoncc in Liverpool to
resuscitate it. Should the advance fail
to come, the tendency Of our
market must be down, until a
figure is reached where capital
viii seek permanent investment.
From continental advices it would APP
pear as though the lowest prices Of the
crop had already beeu attained there.
The high prices Of coarse grains are
brir ging wheat into use, not only for
manufacturing purposes BIT also for
0ni1lat food, and the consumption Of
wheat wiJL be far in ercass Of The dDer-
age. In Germany the drought has
beer severe and low water in the rivers
has retarded transportation ana this
together with the fact that wheat is
low as compared with other products
has established more confidence on the
continent Unless something unusual
should transpire, it is useless, however,
to LOOK for any material Improvement,
a. ar ivals from California and the
Black Sea win soon be liberal, and am
pie to supply the present demand.
IL is reasonable, however, to
expect steady continental mar
kets and that our markets
will suffer no depression, except the
inevita BILE one resulting from the higher
range Of prices here over other mar
kets. When it has reached a legiti
mate basis where capital can seek in
vestmcnt, and not until then, we may
expect healthy advance. We quote
closing prices: No. |, 81 IA; No. .,
So l.; No. 5, SO, No. 2 for January
delivery, 90c.
Coarse grains have shown no material
change, except barley, which is 5 cents
higher, on speculative demand but
brewers are not buying and the amount
in store IS large.
The hog market has been active and
a shade lower. Provisions have shown
symptoms OF weakness, and pork pack
ers have been indisposed to increase
their present large accumulations ex-
cept at lower prices. The bulk Of the
pork product is yet in packers hands,
and the telling is becoming general that
the top has been reached. 1t would
certainly appear prudent on the part Of
the farmers to accept the present liberal
prices for hogs and to hold wheat if
they must hold any thing.

now that all the tickets will be sold, anG
that the drawing will be full one; but

a meeting of the ticket holders at Public
Library Hall, on the 20th of November, tc
make arrangements in connection with the
committee appointed by the Trustees to
superlntend the counting OF the tags rep
resenting the number Of tickets sold -
While there is no actual necessity for the
presence of ticket. holders, as under our ar
rangements the interests of all are equally
cared for, yet at the same time | would
greatly prefer that as many of those inter
ested as can, would attend this meeting
and see each for himself how perfectly
fair and Impartial the distribution must be-
Every arrangement has been made for
the drawing but little more than month
remains for the sale of the remainder of
the tickets, and whatever is done must be
done promptly.

Late in the night of that day, shortly before
tho setting of the moon, q lady, closely yelled,
descended from hired carriage, dismis sed, it,
saw it return toward Rome, and then began
herself to walk along the solitary road in the
direction of the famous Tivoli grotto, upon
the banks of the Anio. Quitting the road
after a time, and passing through the fields,
she reached a curved row of ancient yew trees,
which presented their convex face outwards,
enclosing three sides what seemed to be q
garden, bounded behind by shrub-covered
rocks. The trees, which stood clos. together,
were interlaced hy an impeuetrable hedge of
some kind of cactus. In the very centre of the
convex, however, was gate of pales, and the
gate open; and in the gateway was
figure standing, the figure of tall and stately
woman. AS the lady, who made straight for
this gate, approached, she suddenly noticed
the form of the woman, and paused with an
involuntary start, She whose appearance &C.
cssoned this emotion was leaning with both
hands upon a long staff, and looking upward
lost in contemplation as she gazed upon the
countless worlds that rolled through the blue
and luminous inmensity. She was clad from
throat to foot in long black robe, the hood
of which, intended to be drawn forward over
the brows, had fallen back in neglect, and dis
closed beautiful afauenoe of flowing snow
white hair, which glittered as If q cascade Of
