Our WHEAT EXPORT The brief
items of crop intelligence transmitted
to us from England are important ms
denoting from the prospects Of the
English wheat supply just how much
she may need from our country and
other sources 70 exc It out. This
years wheat crop in England, while
somewhat below an average, is about
one-tourth more than the crop of any
one of the last three years. The es-
timated yield is about twenty eight
bushels to the acre, and the wheat
area is usually about three-and a half
millions of acres. In round numbers
the crop of 1874 is estimated at one
hundred millions of bu.hels, while
the annual consumption of wheat
there is one hundred and ninety mil
lions of bushels This excess of nine
,v millions she will, therefore, have
to import during the coming year.
During the fiscal year just closed, we
sent TO England the largest wheat ex-
port we ever made-forty FIVE mil
lions of bushels. Shippers and deal
ers in the grain trade estimate that
ye will have to make up at least one
half her deficiency tor the coming
year, which would be as much as We
sent her last year. Russia, whence
her supplies are also drawn, does not
seem to be in Il condition to export
more wheat than last year, so that
everything favcrs an expectation from
the United States fully equal TO that
of last year. Tbs will be stimulated
also by the low pri' es of wheat, which
will not only bring us customers, but
also increase consumption abroad
1t is quite evident that we will have
q market this fall and next winter for
all the wheat We can spare, and ut
remunerative rates. The demand has
already begun for vessels in which to
ship it, and very large amount OF
wheat is now coming eastward over
the Pennsylvania Railroad for ship
ment to Europe.

Snipe on toast-"sixty Cents -

Snipe on toast would be almost toe

Then drew close up to the table,
and saw a little black speck on the
toast.

SaysI: "I'm glad OF it. I'm glad
YOU told me that's a fu'l-sized snipe !;
for do you know, young man, when l

For the benefit of the organs Of
the Western Union Telegraph mo-
nopoly, We reproduce ian extract
from a letter written to the Chicago
Tribune by ex-Mayor Joseph Medill
of Chicago, now on a tour tour of
pleasure and observation in Europe.
Mr.. Medill, as part owner Of the
Chicago Tribune, has heretofore al
ways opposed the postal telegraph
scheme as impractical.
The efforts of ex-Postmaster Gen.
eral Creswell in behalf of cheap
telegraphy have invariably been
met by the officers and paid attor-
neys of the monopoly with the
argument that telegraphing is
much cheaper in America than
in any other country on the
globe. They have also repeated
ly asserted that the postal telegraph
system has been generally con-
demend by the people where it was
introduced. These assertions are
exploded and refuted by Mr.. Medill,
who writes as follows from Brussels:
/ omitted in the proper conncc-
ton to state that the Telegraph lines
belong to the government, who
built and operate them in eonnec-
tion with the Postoffice Department.
The tariff for messages is half a
franc for every twenty words, which
embraces address and signature.
The net message is about twenty
words, which costs only ten cents,
whether the distance it is transmit
ted be a mile, to the next village,or
$50 miles, from one end Of the king
dom to the other. The Belgians are
well satisfied with their telegraph
system, and could not be induced to
turn it over to chartered company,
with the oppressive privilege of ex-
acting what tolls and serving the
public as they pleased. At the ex-
ceedingly low rate of less than a
cent o word, the Belgium telegraph
postal system is more than self-sup-
porting, In addition to paying inter-
est on its cost Of construction.

COMMENTING ON the recent North
Carolina election the New York
Herald of the Sth declares that
North Carolina has always claimed
to be a Democratic State, and no
one is surprised that she has proved
1t. The Republican party carried
the State in 1872 only by those ex-
treme and exceptional eXertions
which are made i'm Presidential cleo
tons. The heavy pressure of the
administration having been with
drawn, North Carolina takes her
place among the conservative States
of the South.
Omaha daily bee., 1874-08-12
q FARMERS, PROBLEM.

The most intricate problem for
farmers just now, is whether it will
pay to sell their wheat at the ex-
tremely low figures hat rule the
market at present, or whether it
would be profitable to hold on for a
rise.
This of course cannot embrace
farmers who are compelled to real
ize Immediately on their crops to
meet the pressing wants of their
families, and the pressure from i'm
patient creditors. 1t is only the
farmer, with accumulated means,
that can afford to store his grain and
take his chances Oh a rise in the
winter or spring.
AS far as We can gather from
commercial journals, there is no
probability of any material advance
for some months to come. The crops
in grain producing Europe are, on
the whole, expected to yield quite a
surplus for export. The famine in
India Is now virtually over, and very
little, if any grain, will be wanted
there.
California expects to export over
twenty million bushels of her superb
or wheat, which exceeds the export
of 1873 some eight million bushels.
California wheat being superior to
that raised in the northwestern
States will very naturally have the
preference of European wheat
spectators. Unless a continental
war shall be precipitated by some
of the European powers during the
coming year the prospective de-
mand for American wheat is not
very promising. Present indica-
tons seem however, to point very
strongly toanother sanguinary strug-
gle in which Germany, Spain,
France, Austria, Italy and even
Turkey may become involved.
Such an event would of curse be
followed by a material advance in
the grain market. On the other
hand the ruling prices of wheat are
SO low that a further decline is hard
~ probable.
TIE transportation rates are al
ready virtually up to the winter
standard, and no material advance
in these rates need therefore be an
ticipated. Looking at the case from
this standpoint, we should conclude
that, if farmers can afford iG, they
will run very little risk in holding
their grain for a few months.

IT now looks as if Clusters Black
Hills exploring expedition had been
planned i'm the interest of Northern
Pacific stock manipulators. The
glowing descriptions of the region
traversed by Clusters army that
come to us through the correspon-
dents that accompany the expedi-
ton seem to indicate that pressure
is to be brought on Congress to
grant further concessions to the
Northern Pacific Company, ostensi-
bly, with a view of opening the
Black Hills country to civilization,
but really to revive the broken for.
tunes of Jay Cooke and other finan-
cial gamblers.

Mr.. NICHOLSON, of Indiana, 8
member of the Society of Friends,
is now at Washington looking after
the appropriations made by Con.
gress for the management OF the
friendly savages. According to the
Washington Chronicle, Mr.. Nichol.
son still strongly maintains that the
white men of the Indian country
are the only cause of developing
the murderous instincts of the In
dian, and leading him to war
against the white race.
The same kind of logic, says the
Chronicle, is deeply instilled into
the minds of the Indian Bureau
here, and the problem that deeply
troubles to solve is how to punish the
white man, instead of the Indian
criminal. There is no brute red man
that exists, or has existed, but
what has a ready champion for the
justice Of all his acts among Indian
missionaries and agents, who turn
up in Washington every day, and
who are supported through life in
good style out of money annually
appropriated by Congress to clothe
and feed the Indians.
