showing is particularly agreeable just now,

Straight xxx. made without a separation OF
middlings is dull at $4.75 to 800. Inferior
brands Of xxx flour are to be quoted at
3. 25 to 4.50; XXX, at $3.50 to 400; Red Dog
at 50 30; rye flour at 50. % to $50 per lOJ lbs
bolted corn meal at $3.50 to l.40 per 100 lbs,
and very firm at the price.
WHEAT-As to prices, there is not much to
be said. Most OF the old wheat now arriving,
and being transferred, has been bought in the
interior, and sent to this point. The deliveries
OF farmers are few and far between, consequent
~, the buying price from farmers wagons is
nominal. Fortunately, it is not the time Of
wheat from anybody. Shippers decline offer
ings of new wheat, unless it is certain that the
wheat has undergone the sweating process in
stack. Those who have harvested good No. l
or No. wheat will lose nothing by allowing it
to remain in stack for few weeks. Minnesota
wheat sells in New York at 2.COai.l5 per
bushel and it cost money to take it to New
York.

Family Memorial.

We have been shown an artistically designed
''Familv memorial" which has many points
of merit and originality. 1t is by the celebra-
ted young pen artist, Miss Allie WyLe. In the
centre is the Lords prayer and around it are
panels, surrounded by mathematical borders,
wherein to record the births, deaths, and mar
riages Of the family. Beyond the central por-
ton above outlined, is a grayish-tinted border
with spaces to be allotted to photographs The
,edect of the whole is pleasing in the extreme,

features, Leaving, out OF the question the value
that would attach to it as family history and

CROP REPORTS
THE WHEAT CROP IN WABASHA
COUNTY,,

An Elgin correspondent Of the Va
basha Sentinel says:
Farmers are feeling very Respondent over the
depressed wheat market ana the very light
prospective crop. During the twenty odd
wears that this locality has been settled there
has never been an entire failure. A general
feeling OF dissatisfaction prevails at the press
crop reports which are better than the crop
will warrant. There seems to be O desire to
depregs the narket each year, by statements OF
its abundance, which facts generally do not
warrant. The crop OF iS75 OF this town, (which
in 1869 produced more wheat than any other
of equal extent in the United States) though q
much larger crop than usual, was only ~ 7-S
bushels per acre, average yield. We haveex-
pressed the opinion from examination and ex-
tended conversation with the farmers. that this
crop would be little better than half all aver
age.
Another letter from the same locality
says:
Fifteen acres Of White Hamburg wheat Just
thresh.d, turns l2 bushels per acre. State
ments OF an average on this prairie OF II and
10 bushels per acre, are regarded by our most
reliable farmers AZ too large, the general I'M
preston seems to be that 10 will be about the
figure.
HARVEST PROSPECTS.

ILLINOIS.
Reports from forty eight counties represe-
sent the area i'll all grains t. do considerably
greater than last year. In the upland, the crops
are in fine condition and promises full average
yield of good quality but in the bottom lands
the excessive rains have seriously damaged
wheat and corn and III some localities entirely
DESTROYED them.
Returns from thirty-one counties represent
the area i'll all grains to b. nearly double that
Of last year. lhe majority report the wheat
crop to be very fair, averaging ten bushels to
the acre and OF good qualify. A few counties
report it as having been seriously damaged by
wet weather and the prospect Is not so promis-
ing.
twenty counties report the area in wheat to
I've One-third more than last year. In some
places it has suffered from wet weather and rus.
but on the whole will be more than an average
crop OF good quality.
OHIO.
Forty-four counties report the area in all
grains much larger than last year, and all grow
ing crops to be III very iine condition. Wheat
will be fair average crop OF much better
quality than that OF last season.

GJO the amount of bonds forcibly taken therefrom
by raiders from Canada in October, 1864. The cir
cumstances of this raid familiar to everybody,
and il will be remembered that the Canadian Judge
before whom the raiders tried held that they
were bellieerents duly commissioned by the Conted-
crate authorities aud acting under the immediate
orders Of Confederate agent thus making their
acts not robbery and murder, but beligerent acts
The loss of the First National Bank i'll this raid
Cured as follows:
In the previous June it had been designated de-
pository aud financial agent of the United States,
and authorized TO receive subscriptions for bonds
and Treasury notes. In September and early in De-
tober of the year it received subscriptions to
the amount Of 35 900, and paid the money over TO
the Treasury of the United States. I'm return for
this money the bank had. on the day the raid oc-
Cured delivered to subscr beTs 73O bonds amount
ing to 6350 leaving still in its possession bonds OF
the same character amounting TO TZS,Ooo,
which were seized and carried OIL by the raiders
from Canada. The subscribers demanded the deliy-
cry OF the bonds or the return of their money
TO them. The officers of the bank furni he'd the
Treasury Department and every bank iii the cOnn-
try with full description of the securities stolen,
and at their request the Treasury Department
"caveatedr them and warned all persons from TAX
ing or negotiating them Notwithstanding this the
Treasury Department did subsequently pay con-
vert all of these bonds, although they did not con
tain the name of any payee, and the bank had no
tice Of this until after they had been paid
verted and was thus deprived of the opportunity to
show that the bonds presented by or in behalf
of persons having guilty knowledge that they bad
been stolen from the bank, and that they actually
belonged to the United States.
The bank subsequently, to save its credit paid
over 70 the subscribers the which they had pre-
viously deposited for these bonds. The Committee
decided that the bank, being the agent of the Gov
ernnent was only bound to exercise degree of care
and diligence, as the custodian of public moneys or
securities which a careful, prudent man would re-
Qure of his agents in matter Of similar character,
or would exercise i'll his own affairs, and is only lia
ble for negligence fraud, and therefore recon-
nends the payment of the money TO the bank.

MEMBERS WHOSE ZEAL FOR RfFORM DOES NOT AP-
PLY To THEIR own sALARirs-TIIEY WANT 1HE
SENATE 10 KILL TIE REDUCTION.
IFRoM A REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TEIBUNE.i
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-While the Democrats IN
the House are engaged in the work of economy and
rctrenchment, there are some among them who
would seem to he somewhat eccentric in their ideas
During the past few days several of the Democratic
members of the House have approached certain Dem
ocratic Senators with a novel proposition. They
argued that the country would closely sean the ac-
tlons and measures of the louse, because il is Dem
ocratic and that little attention would be paid the
Senate and that masnuch az the House had started
on retrcnchment platform would be fatal 10 ahan-
don it, 1t was therefore proposed by these members
that they would advocate reduction of the pay of
C0nTessmen and secure the passage ofan act through
the House reducing il to $1,000 year-thc under
standing they desired to have with the Senators be-
ing that they would Kill the reduction in the
Senate aud TINS retain the present salary. The
fact would then, as the members argued, go TO the
world that Democratic House passed the reduction
bill but that a Republican Senate had refused 10 con-
cur The Senators spoken tOadyised against the action
unless il was sincere for the that they would
not agree TO such an arrangement, but that If the
bill came from the House 1t might 90 through the
Senate. The members then said that they had better
leave the question of their own pay as ii is.

the Ecw-York TIden Democrats dissatisfied with Mr.
