U WHEAT YIELD.
Returns and Estimates for 1850
The Entire Crop Placed az
165,49I.OOO Bushels, With
Isf,OOO,OOO Bushels for
Export.

Reports to Bradstreets from wheat
growing regions of the United States
down to September 18th, indicate that
the total outturn Of wheat for 1880
will not be in excesa of 49, 9i. 900
bushels. Returns from the great
wheat-producing states Of Illinois and
Iowa are quite up to earliedestimates;
but it is probable when the full re-
turns Of the threshing in those and
other states are summed up, that the
total product Of the country will not
exceed 455, 600, 600 bushels. The out
turn for the Pacific states, based on
trustworthy returns and estimates is
calculated TO be 3S.0O0,0 900 bushels.
The export Of wheat from the Uni
ted States last year was in round
numbers l95, 100000 bushels. Il is
estimated that the requirement for
home consumption from this seasons
crop will amount to 26l ,000,O0 bush
els. On this basis. and taking the
total outtum at 455, 00O, 900 bushels.
there will be about 1874, 0OO, 900 bush
els surplus Of the wheat crop Of 1880.
A general summary Of the wheat crop
for 1880, with reference 10 territorial
divisions, is as follows:

SPEAKING AT CLARKsvILLE.
PIeasantrfeE Of the Cnnvass---
Kisses, HoOts, Rocks, and
Eggs.

Under the head of Speaking Sat-
urday night" the GAINESVILLE Tobacco
Leaf, of the 18th, gives the following
cheerful account Of the way two visit
ing speakers were treated;
1t was generally known that Colonel
Savage aud Colonel Akers would
speak on the public square last Satur-
day night, and everybody expected an
old fashioned political tussle, and
they got it. Mr.. Savage would not
agree in advance to divide time with
Colonel Akers, and announced on the
stand that he had not come to divide
time with anybody. During his
speech Mr.. Savage was frequently in-
terrupted by a lot Of thoughtless boys,
and, to some extent, got out OF tenn
per. At n time he alluded to
Hon. Chas. G.. Smith, and said that in
the legislature that gentleman was a
clever fellow and did as we'll as he
knew how. At this the whole crowd
began to yell for Smith and he came
forward and mounted the stand, Mr.
Savage stating that he gave way
to Judge Smith, who then begged the
crowd to give Mr.. Savage a respectful
hearing. and said it was true he had
ia the Legislature done the best he
knew how; and turning to Colonel
Savage said IF YOU had done the
best you knew how, this state debt
question would have been set
tied long ago" With this the
crowd applauded and Mr.. Savage
went on. The boys got boisterous
again aud finally Or. Q. w Bailey
took the stand and asked the crowd
to give Mr.. Savage respectful atten-
ton. Good order was restored, and
Savage went on, but it soon became
apparent that he was speaking against
time, and that the crowd would not
get to hear Colonel Akers at all
After he had spoken one and a hall
hours, a stand was erected on the
other side Of the square. aud We had
the novel spectacle Of two orators
laundering away at each other at the
same time, for Mr.. Akers at once
mounted the stand erected and began
speaking. Savage soon gave down,
and after a few remarks from Mr..
Munford, his crowd went over to bear
Akers. This gentleman, too, had bad
order, and it is said some miscreant
threw a rock at him, which missed its
aim and struck Captain Gracey. Eggs
we're also thrown at Mr.. Akers, and
he, too, got out of temper. 1t would
not be well for the names Of these
miscreants to become public. The
conduct Of the crowd at neither place
was commendable, and we hope it will
never be repeated

Newspaper and Magazine Mails.

The following ststement, obtained
from Third Assistant Postmaster
General Hazen's forthcoming annual
report, shows the amount of second
class mail matter newspapers and pc.
riOdicals) transported in the mails and
the revenue derived theretrOm during
The fiscal year ending June 30, 1880.
Weight in tons during 1880, 30.66l;
increase over 1879 5,098; postage col
leeted in 1880, 81 ,22G. 452.58; increase
over 1879 Sl22,25T.9l. This increase
is very gratifying to the department
officials; more especially is it SO in
view Of the fact that for ten months
in 1879 the postage on periodicals was
3 cents per pound, while since May
|, 1879. it has been but 2 cents per
pound, the same as .fOr newspapers.
The postage collected from periodi-
Gals amounted to nearly one fifth of
the amount collected on newspapers,
and but for the reduction in rate of
postage on periodicals, the revenue
from that source would probably have
been Sl00,00O more than it is. The
following is a table showing the
weight in tons and the amount collect
ed at ten Of the principal postofices
in the United States.
