The coming Opera Festival at Music
Hall, Cincinnati, which occurs on the
18th, 14th, 18th, 10Th, 18th and 18th of
February, will, beyond doubt, be the
most successful, both in point of musi-
cal excellence and financially, that has
ever been held in this country. Patti,
whom at oil other points in the country
it costs $5 to hear, will sing upon this
occasion, and to the entire series of per-
formances, eight in number, a season
ticket can be had for $14, which is made
transferable, and can be divided up
among several persons and thus still
further reduce the price of admission.
Those in distant towns desiring choice
seats can get them by applying in ad,
vance of the occasion for q plat of the
auditorium Of the Hall.

THE imports of German and italian

about 45, 600 bushels thus far, and some

margin at present cost to encourage i'm

instrument which appears likely to be useful in connection with tho telephone. The fre- quenoy with which telephones were de- stroyed or seriously injured by the incursions of lightning entering on the wires, and the fact that in some instances dwellings had been set on fire by burning telephones, led him to consider the subject. The invention now made public consists of an ingenious combination of switches and safety catches, so arranged on the outside of the building that by the simple turning of knob near the telephone all connection with the outside wire is completely severed The instrument includes lightning arresters, believed to be more effectual than any heretofore in use, and an arrangement for protection against stray electric light currents. By the use of this attachment in places of business, abso- lute safety from lightning and the powerful electric light current is secured by turning the knob when the buildings closed for the night, and thus barring out the danger ous intruders.

THE OUTLOOK FOR CHEAPER FLOUR
 It is reported that many of the great wheat growers of the West not anxious to sell their wheat at present. They are not short of money, and they declare that they will not sell their grain at present rates, but will keep 1t until prices are better. writer in the New York Journal cf Commerce thinks the wheat growers are not wise in thus acting. and presents powerful reasons why wheat is likely to be cheaper instead of dearer. As these reasons interest all who have to buy flour as well as those who have wheat to sell we give some of them
 The wheat crop in the United States for this year will be about GOO, 900, ,OO0 bushels The home consumption, even with low prices ruling, cannot exceed 29O, ,OOO, 900 bushels and last year was not over 256, ,OOO, GOO bush els. Taking the highest figure as the wants of this country must have surplus Of 1O,000,O00 bushels. In each of the last three years the foreign harvests were more or less deficient. This year almost all the coun- tries to which we send our grain have a fair average crop of their own. Great Britain has need altogether of 192, ,OOo 900 bushels,
 
 S5,0O0, 900 bushels, leaving her but 1O7. .OOO. 900 bushels to buy from all the sources of sup. ply. France has bought considerable of us, her purchases in 1881 amounting to 30 1000, OOO bushels but this year she will need but little in addition to her own product
 From these facts it follows that we shall have larges surplus of wheat grown in this country than ever before in our history, with no reasonable prospect of an increased for. e1gn demand. The probability is that the surplus will be nearly or quite two million bushels more than in the previous year, and the certainty is that there will be less de mand for export, except this can be quicken ed by much lower prices. Whatever there ii Of the old crop and at least BIO, 900, 900 bush eis Of the new, we shall have to sell The farmers argue that if they rush their wheat forward prices will rapidly decline, but il they hold 1t back for while they can at least sustain prices. But against this it is pointed out that such course will tend to limit con sumption, and increase the surplus, and tha, the only way of relief is that which will come through lower prices. With good foreigr harvests and an enormous home crop farmers cannot hope to obtain the rates of the last few years. By yielding at once to the inev- itable they will stimulate the consumption ir this country fully 15 per cont, which will dispose of nearly 4O,OOO,OOO bushel, more than last year. They may also keep the foreign markets in their own hand. We can, It is believed, send 1OO.000,0O0 bushels to Great Britain at the beginning of the season if our prices are low enough.
 This reasoning appears to be sound and the advice offered to the wheat growers good. It seems hardly possible that even the powerful wheat cornerers could put up and keep up the price of wheat when there is such an abundance.
