who in some cases lately have carried
wheat across the Atlantic for nothing
at all, and in one or two instances for
even less than nothing-steamers hav-
ing to pay premium for the privilege
of carrying it as ballast-while from
South Australia the freights just now
are reported to be only Cne-fourth the
ordinary rates. In fact from the stand
point of the western and Australian
farmers California could have obtained
very high price for her surplus this
season, and in fixing an extremely low
one has done herself an irreparable
! injury. At the beginning of the cam
paign the worlds wheat deficiency was
estimated at from 25,000,000, to 5O,-
000,0 bushels, and although this
shortage has been partly made up in
India, real deficiency still exists,
which can only be made good by en-
tirely exhausting the reserves or draw
ing prematurely on the new crop. Ship
ments from Atlantic ports, which ag-
gregaSed 150.O0O,0O0 bushels in the
two preceding years, will this
season not exceed the original estimate
of 100000 bushels. The Australian
estimate was also within the mark.
The wheat crop of the seven colonies,
which aggregated So 346.950 bushels
in 1880 and 31,562,9 ,925 in 1881,
amounts to only 27,000.O00 bushels

Officers Webb and Wingate arrested a
colored man by the name of Jefferson on
Saturday night for standing on the sidewalk
and obstructing passers-by.
Special Officer Webb had quite wild
goose chase ON Saturday night after q
captain of one of the Pennsylvania Canal
Company's boats, who had been cruelty
beating his brother, boy about 12 years
old. The captain got wind that the officer
was after him and started up the canal
bank on a full run with the officer after
him. The officer reports himself as holding
his own until the mill was reached when he
had to give up the pursuit, completely used
up. d
John Stafford, colorei, was arrested and
lodged in the cells yesterday for beating his
wife and throwing her against the door.
He gave the Mayor and Officer Webb con-
siderable trouble before they could secure
him. They finally had to throw him down
and set on him before they could get the
nippers on him. His wife was also arrested
and locked up as witness against him.
About 80 canal boats for Hilles 81 Co.,
are laying in the canal loaded with coal
waiting to be unloaded. This makes trade
somewhat better for the Delaware City
merchants.

The young deputy started with the fellow
in a wagon, and had not gone far when the
fellow in an endeayor to escape began to re-
sist him.
The horse started at a run and Mr.. Clark
was too busy with his man to hold on to
the lines. They went down the road
at a,frightful pace, and finally the burly
fellow was subdued and the horse was
pulled in.
Lewis soon renewed his efforts and
managed to get out Of the buggy. Mr..
Clark followed him and catching. him
