FOREIGN EXPORTS OF WHEAT.

1t is stated that 100000 bushels of
wheat have been exported to Europe
since July LIST, 20,000000 more are on
their way there. and 10000, 900 more are
en- route TO the sea board On the Pa
cific there are now afloat over II 900 600
bushels bound for English ports. The
highest amount ever estimated as requir
ell from this country is 10, 100000 bush
els. The average estimates are 100000
600 bushels. As, according to the
above figures, Isl, 100000 bushels are
already shipped or in sight, it would
seem probable that the 10 to 20 mil
lion bushels further required might
be furnished without any further adj
vance IN price Some reliable wheat au
thorltIes believe that there is more wheat
en- route for Europe already than they
can pay for at prevailing prices. E. 4.
Walker, statistician of the Produce Ex-
change, after careful estimate from au
lucrative reports, places the wheat crop
OF the United States for 1878 at ABOUT
425, 100000 bushels The spring wheat
crop Will not be so large as was at first
expected, that of Minnesota being no
more than $4,000, 600 bushels. instead of
100000 as estimated early in the sea
son. The amount consumed by 10000
900 persons, plus the amount required
tor seed and other purposes, is placed at
25O,OO0,0O0 bushels, leaving 115 900 900
bushels for export O,o00. 00O bushels
for Europe, and IL, 000, 600 for other ports.

he tailJr's heart with grief was torn,
He sadly wandered back;
Although frock coats were then much worn
Ills love gave him the sack.
But soon he found the cause of this,
The head cutter caused his route,
And spoiled his suit and marred his bliss,
For he hd cat him out.
Then, like a cabbage whiting down,
The sad young tailor died.

| THE CONVENTION AT HARTFORD. The Democratic State convention held at Hartford yesterday was not as entertaining l and noisy an affair as some of the conventions of Connecticut Democrats have been, but it | was by TO means devoid of interesting l features. Most of the ''fun," however, was in the preliminary proceedings, considera- ble lively squabbling being found necessary to settle conflicting claims. When the conyen-
 ton came together, peace, partly voluntary and partly enforced, prevailed, and the pro gramme of the great mule buyer and friend of Tilden was carried out.
 This programme, as was to be expected, was
 skillfully constructed one. As soon as the delegates could be talked to Tuesday evening
 they were informed that though it was not
 at all likely that Tilden would take the Gin
 cinnati nomination, justice to him and good
 party policy demanded that no action against
 him should be taken by the convention. And
 there was none. The unit rule was enforced
 and the two-thirds rule favored. Mir. Barnum
 was elected one of the delegates-at large, and
 majority of the delegation chosen. are
 friendly to Tilden. Thus was order brought
 out of somewhat chaotic state of affairs, and Barnum's good generalship again illus trated.
 Due attention was paid to the fraud issue. The Hon. Thomas M. Waller, who was made chairman of the convention to keep him from making mischief, fell into line, and howled
 s'Fraud" in magnetic" manner. And one of the resolutions resolved 'That we de- nounce the great conspiracy of 1876 by which Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hen dricks were deprived of the high offices to which they were elected, as plot dangerous to free government, and a crime against that public morality upon which our free institu- tions are dependent.
 The attempt made by MT. Blake, of Bridge port, to get the convention to declare in sub stance that Tilden's nomination would be in expedient, unwise and dangerous, and would render Democratic success in the coming Pres idential campaign extremely hazardous and l uncertain, 8 bold one, bold as to thrill tho Hon. E. s. Cleveland with very uncomfortable pain and horror. But MT. Blake received the treatn1ent due per son who would deliberately cause Mir. Cleve land discomfort and learned 8 lesson which may be of use to him if he ever goes to an | other well-managed convention.
 The English boom was lost sight of soon after it reached Hartford and did not reap pear. While some of the delegates chosen would be glad to get chance to vote for him, and all would vote under certain circum- stances, it cannot be said that yesterdays pro- ceedngs were much to his advantage, which is matter for regret here in New Haven, where
 the members of both parties would rsjoice to see their honored townsman's presidential boom wax great.
 The convention did itself no discredit in giving the press SO good representation in the delegation. Two of the delegates -atIarge are editors-A. D. Burr of the Hartford Times, and William E. Parsons of the New Haven Register-and Mir. T. ". Greenslit delegate from Windham county, is the editor of the Danielsonv;lie Sentinel.

THE OHIO REPUBLICANs.

The State convention of Ohio Republicans held at Columbus yesterday was large and harmonious one, and in point of the character and prominence of it's members WAS much above the average. As we have all along pre- dicted would be the case, Sherman's support CTS had large majority in the convention, and they used their power so as to leave no doubt of their sincerity. A resolution was adopted declaring that the great ability, valu- able services, long experience, pure and exalt- ed character and unwavering fidelity to Re publican principles of Secretary Sherman en- title him to the highest honors of the Rspub- lcan party of Ohio and of the country, and urging his nomination for President. The delegates-at-large were instructed to vote for MT. Sherman, and the district delegates were requested to vote for him. The administra- ton was also endorsed. Ohio ought to sup port MT. Sherman as long as there is any chance for his nomination, and it is to be hoped that this action of the convention will settle the matter, though whether it will or not remains to be seen. Some of the district delegates are Blaine men, and may not pay much attention to the ''re- quest" of the convention when Blaine calls for them.
