Ring papers. A correspondent, Ga Re

the Lake City Leader, and denounces
the old St. Paul Press. the rioneer-P'sss,

the wheat buyers and against the farm
ers. He says:
Last March the St. Paul Press. in
speaking of the prospective price OF
wheat, said that every foreign port was
cro,rded with wheat. while the consump-
tive demand was limited. In less than
ninety days from the time tais state

The Wheat Crop Of Europe.

The Chicago Times of the 18th con-
tains some interesting statistics regard
ing the wheat crop Of the principal
countries of Europe, from MIR. Alexan-
der Delmar, of Philadelphia, a states
man and statistician of national reputa-
ton. He says this is the first estimate
of the kind ever made. MIR. Delmar
oiyes the following recapitulation OF his
figures:
1t will be observed that the population.
of the six principal wheat countries OF
Europe is about 232 ,OOo,oO0; that their
average requirement OF wheat IS $685.
900 900 bushels, or about thirty-seyen
bushels, per capita per annum; that their
average home supply of wheat is from
S2o. 900 900 to S5S 5000, 900 bushels, and
that their combined average deficit Is
from nothing to $4,000, 900 bushels.
The requirement estimated tor the
current wear is S4S, 200, 900 bushels; that
tor the United Kingdom and France be-
low their average requirement on ac
count of the observed fact that in year:
OF less than an average yield OF wheat
those countries particularly France
consume less wheat than usual. In

down because some Chicago parties
were selling short. The average price
throughout the State at the time this
declaration was made was about sixty
five cents; still the price mast go down
About the same time another one OF
our papers, the Minneapolis Tribune,
administered sharp and sneering re-
buke to our farmers for not selling their
wheat, claiming that in all probability
wheat would fall from slxty-hve cents
down; but instead of going down, the
price went up, till at one time since
these prophecies were made It had al

Anew EntcrDrISe

Our Wilmington neighbors, denizens
of the "city by the sea" are certainly
as enterprising a set of people as one
would care to see. With population
of less then twenty thousand they yet
inaugarate and carry out enterprises,
that Citizens of places twice the size of
Wilmington are sometimes afraid
to touch. They manage to succeed in
almost every thing they undertake, and
the result is a rapid increase in mater
ial wealth and prosperity.
These thoughts were called up
on learning, g few days since, that an
other steam cotton compress is shortly
to be erected in the city. During the
past season the Wilmington Cotton
Press and Warehouse Company" was
oganized from among the merchants,
with a view of bringing Wilmington
forward II Importance as cotton port,
as with her increasing facilities of
railroad transportation, and deepening
of the Cape Fear river, and outlying
bars, the erection of suitable cotton
sheds and compress of capacity, both
~ amount of production and the rem
dering of such quality of work as
should be inferior to none extent, be-
came an absolute necessity. Capital
for this undertaking has been iberally
subscribed and paid in, and with the
view of making the charges contin-
gent in handling cotton minimum
a site has been selected lying contiguou
to the Carolina Central Railway, and
embracing a wharf front of some four
hundred feet. The designs for the
Warehouse have been carefully exam
mined and buildings are in course of
erection, which will make the Ware
house inferior to none in the South.
The sheds are to be brick, and arran-
ged in compartments, each sixty feet
square. separated from each other by a
brick fire wall. The entire building
will be furnished with an iron roof.
