The average price paid last wear in Eng.
land for American wheat was 81 49, The
average this year is 81 O., with good
prospect that figure will be maintained, in
spite u the enormous surplus that this
country will supply. The outlook for
friti.h gold Is good.
PAm- CouRr.-At Paris Monday there
were from $50 to 100 cattle on the market,
Which were sold at prices ranging from SIC
to l,c, the slight dccreale in price being
duo 10 the lcssencd demand az mules
about 200 were offered. Eighteen 2-year
olds brought Sis per head; 20 head were
bid to STA, aud Withdrawn. Broke mules
brought 500 to slis.
Squire J. $. Murphy, who has just re-
turned from n trip through Pulaski and
Wayne, tells us that the prospect Tor full
corn crop was never better. The wheat
CT Ip turned out finely. The price offered
per bushel in Wayne IL about 81 cents, but
farmers prefer to hold II till rise in the
river, when they can ship their surplus to
Nashville and other markets.
We may mention incidentally that the
aggregate wheat crops Of Michigan, Indi-
ana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee will ex.
coed the aggregate Of last year by 10000.
600 bushels, and that the California crop
will fall short 100000. In this view Of
the case our figures show that in these FIVE
States the farmers will receive the enor-
nous sum Of nearly fifty million dollars
more for their wheat crop Of 1877 than
they'did for that Of is76.-[Chicagc Tri-

Mr.. ID. s. Jones, Of the Mt. Salem neigh
borhood, left on Tuesday last for Jackson
Vile, Mo-, with IA a. fine thoroughbred
Durham cattle as one would wish to lay
eyes on. Among the lot are bulls, cows
and young heifers, all Of them raised by
Mr.. Jones, and he is justly proud to offer
such stock to the people Of Missouri. We
sincerely hope Mr.. Jones will do well with
them. One thing is certain, the Missouri
ans may rely implicitly on what Mr.. Jones
says, for more honorable or Trustworthy
man never lived in Kentucky.
