The Bread Wants of Europe.

The Philadelphia Times of Wednesday
says The quantity of breadstuffs which
Great Britain aud France will require of
us during the next twelvemonth is a sub
ject of deep interest, not only to the farm
ers who have raised the crops and to the
transporters engaged in handling them,
but to the country itself, to whose foreign
credit the sales must be placed The
prospect now appears quite certain that
the demand of the two countries will con-
siderably exceed that of last year, and that
the increased purchases must be all made
of the United States None of the see
lions which supply grain to Western Eu-
rope are in situation to send more than
their average quantity; in Russia, besides
the disturbance to agricultural operations
caused by the heavy military drafts, the
crops have been shortened by droughts in
some quarters and excessive rains in
others; Turkey has been devastated by war
and has nothing to spare for market; Egypt
has but wretched yield of wheat this
year and will sell little or none, while In-
dia is not yet fulfilling the high English
expectations of her Importance as Il grain
producer. To America, therefore, the
English and French demands are direct
ed, and the present estimate of good au-
thority is that they viii call upon us for
two millions of quarters-sixteen millions
of bushels-in excess of the year lS77-7S.
The French grain crop is exceptionally
bad, the harvest having been delayed by
continuous and heavy rains, so that where
as the deficiency of that country last year
was reckoned at two millions of quarters,
it is now believed that this year it will
reach four millions or even more. The
London Saturday ReUie,c makes an esti-
mate SO high as five to seven millions, and
to meet this heavy want French agents are
already buying freely in the ports of the
Black Sea-
Anincrease in our wheat export Of six
teen millions of bushels will 90 far to stimu-
late the outward trade Of the United States
during the year now opening. The great
crops we have just harvested will enable
us to meet the foreign demand without
difficulty and to realize all the opportunity
which the shOrtness of the French harvest
offers to the grain-seling nations. Peace
within our borders, the development of the
Northwestern wheat lands aud the prodi-
gious increase of our crop producing capae-
ity by improved machinery are elements of
enormous advantage which we possess over
the primitive and war-harrassed agricul-
turalists on the cid lands of Eastern Eu-
rope. We shall send to Great Britain
probably fifteen millions of quarters and
to France two millions, total of over one
hundred and thirty millions of bushels of
wheat-counting the -four as in the form
of grain. The balance to our account
abroad must continue to increase during
the coming year as far as breadstuffs are
concerned, and the growth in this partic-
ular is unlikely to be offset by any falling
off in other exports.

FIRE TRANPs.-The Gettysburg ComDiIer
of the 10Th instant says On Tuesday after
noon, two vicious-looking tramps approached
the house of Mr.. Elias Mickey, who resides
on the Emmittsburg road, about three miles
from Gettysburg, and insolently demanded
something to eat. On being informed that
by helping to cut corn for a short time, they
could earn a good supper, they left the
dwelling, after some impudent remarks
About fepr o'clock, the barn was disoov.
cred to be on fire; and the flames swiftly spread
ing, enveloped the wagonshed, u adjoin-
ing stacks, and seriously threatened the house.
BY vigorous efforts the house and all the live
stock we're saved; but the barn, wagonshed,
nine stacks Of hay, two of cats, and one OF
straw, were soon mass of smonldering ruins.
A fine windmill, n pillow, the platform of a
reaper, and DO bushels of grain, contained
in the barn, we're burned with it. 5000 in
suFanoe-S400 on the barn and 200 on wagon
shed, in the Adams County Mutual Company,
is the only offset TO the loss. Two tramps
were arrested on suspicion, the same evening,
at Gettysburg, and after identification by Mrs.
Mickey, were committed to jail.

''The Hartford delegates went to the con.

This conclusively evidences that the Jack
son party in Maryland had its ssrise'' and
reached its climax in 1924, and that at the
time the meeting Of IS27it was retrograding.
The natural inference IS that the purport
OF the meeting of 1897 was not to fix basis
on which to build the jackson party of Mary
land, but for the purpose of devising some
/ plan to perpetuate it, and, looking through
the mist Of fifty-one years, the Judge will find
the above inference to be correct.
In conclusion, If any merit is due either of
the meetings for giving aid to the rise of the
jackson party in Maryland, that of 1924 Is
incontestibly entitled to it.
The EASTERN Mathematician
UPoN OUR DOMESTIC MARKETs.-The
New York letter of the Philadelphia Led
ger of Wednesday, says:
| The new war cloud in India arrests atten-
ton more and more at the Commercial Elk
changes, and the bare possibility OF a collision
between England and Russia, even on the
/ frontier of Afghanistan, has impaired rather
/ hrmer tone to markets that would probably
be influenced by such an event. The talk is
that Russia has all along kept some such con-
tingency in view quite irrespective of the
troubles in Turkey, and that her extensive
/ preparations for privateering all through the
past year have had express reference to it.
Otherwise, it is believed, she would ere this
have called home such vessels as the Cimbria
which is still apparently without any well de-
fined mission in American waters. There is
very general impression among thinking
men that our British friends would find the
Russian Bear tougher customer than he
would be, were he taken in hand in the Oar
danelles or the Black Sea, as he would be
more difficult to be got at, aud the war would
be one in which the English navy would be
comparatively of but very little account.
