Broke" etc. 8vo cloth 81. 80
This latest work from the pen of the gifted
Irish novelist, whose dashing heroes and
heroines have engaged tho sympathies Of
half generation, will he found eminently
worthy Of his pen. 1t is = story OF Ireland.
and while preserving strong traces Of the dash,
that rippled from the authors pen in his earlier
works, is tinged with mellowed lights and
maturer thought which comes Of long expert
ence. The interest is never strained and when
it borders on the sensational we are reminded,
bv its similitude, to recent events,
Of its extreme possibility. Tho
haracter sketchings throughout are
very delicate, and far beyond his earlier pow
ers. II need scarcely be said that his sketches
of Irish manners and scenery are
perfect interesting and often exciting as the
story proper is, with its pieces of social apat-
omy, its value as transcript of times and the
country no describes will impart to it Especial
value We regret that the near approach to
the election, takes up so much of our time and
SPACE that we cannot write more fully OF this
last work of our friend. the gifted author, and
perfect gentleman, Dillon O'Brisn.

PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.
The produce trade during the week has
products. Flour and grain have been COM
paratively quiet, but most other agricultural
productions have been in good demand, at
satisfactory prices, for the most part.
FLOCR-Shippers continue to receive daily
orders from eastern distributors for fine Min
nesota -four, but unfortunately they are too
frequently accompanied with limit of price
which does not agree with the views OF manu-
facturers. Nevertheless good business is do
ing in flour on eastern orders, and moderate
business with tn. home trade. ssSuperla-
tive" or patent process flour is in
active demand ut s7.OOa9.OO per Dbl, as to
brand and quality. xxx bakers flour is
held firmly at S. 50a5. rs per Dbl; family grades

xxx and good brands Of XXX salable at

ner bbl. Bolted corn meal is selling at 81 go
per 100 lbs.
WHEAT-The receipts from farmers wag-
ons. during the week, have been quite liberal
Receipts from the railroads, at the elevators,
have not been excessive
The crop OF the United States is particularly
short, and here in Minnesota we know that in
many regions there has not been enough wheat
raised to feed the producers and leave a re-
mainder for seeding next year, We have be-
fore intimated that there was likely to be no
excessive demand, and no sharp advance, in
the price of wheat during the fall and winter
months, although it seemed reasonable that
prices should gradually advance, and that
next springs quotations v ould be far above
this fails prices These farmers who prefer to
store their wheat, even if they are compelled
to borrow q proportion of its value in order to
pay their maturing debts, are in fair way to
make money on the operation. But a large
number of producers are selling their surplus
at present prices, and realizing their money.
The result will undoubtedly be that next
spring there will he little or no wheat for the
great number OF local mills to grind, unless
the grain is caught up bv long-headed specu
lators, and stored here at home, where it will
be available to the millers when wanted:
In anticipation of higher rates OF. freight on
grain and flour, local buyers have reduced rates
to 81. % for No. wheat: 96c for good No. 2,
clean, and weighing more than Sc lbs; 85a90c
for No. 3, as to quality and condition.
