over four and half million bushels Of
wheat were shipped to Europe last week from
our principal Atlantic ports, and during the
six weeks ending last Saturday our exports of
wheat exceeded those for the corresponding
period of 1873 by the enormous amount Of
9,97o, 900 bushels. The soft-moncy orators
in Maine and Ohio should be careful not to
stumble upon these figures while they are
drawing their dismal imaginative sketches of
the prostration of American industry.

There should be but one question for New

The assumption that this country will again
import largely of foreign iron gives great sat
isfaction in Great Britain, where it Is envi-
ously observed that while all our Bessemer
steel works are busy, forty-fOur British con-
verters are idle. Ii is not desirable that there
should be any ground for this assumed de-
mand. while our production is still consider
ably less than the capacity of our furnaces
and rolling mills. With the facilities at our
command foreign iron should be as little
needed AZ foreign grain.

A foolish story was afoat some weeks ago
to the effect that General Grant would pro-
long his stay in Asia so as to return home
about the time of the election of delegates to
the National Republican Convention next year,
in order TO make the warmth of his reception
serve TO start boom for his own nominal
ton. The story got some credeDce at the time
from people who knew little of the exPresi-
dents character. Its last vestige Of vitality is
now extinguished by the news that General
Grant is already ON the sea, homeward bound
He sailed from japan on the Sd, and will
reach San Francisco about the 21st. Once at
home General Grant will, we venture 10 pre-
dict. prove to be the same quiet unpretend-

General Harrison ia right in thinking that
the great tide of prosperity which is running
in the West will end the Greenback infection
and badly damage the Democracy. His views
on the political situation, as given in a con-
versation printed i'll another column, axe those
of a sagaeious observer. and win be read with
interest. His opinion of Mr.. Hendricks pros
poets is not such as Will be likely 20
alleviate the uneasiness of that ambitious gen.
tleman. but il is inquest nably correct. In
seeking 10 crowd Mr.. 1'ilden off the ticket for
1850 Mr.. Hendricks is likely to lose his grip
on the second place without securing the first.
