to Sacramento in 1864. She returned to her
parents who live in Brooklyn, in 1867, be-
ing in delicate health at the time. Her
husband subsequently visited her and after
remaining two weeks with his wife and
their three children, went to Decatur, III.
In December, 1868. she received & letter
from him stating that he was going to Mex
leo. He inclosed her s., though previous

ceipt of $40 to $50 monthly. in October of

India and American Wheat.
New YORK, October 10TH" There has
been considerable newspaper talk lately
about the quantity of wheat from India
being exported to Great Britain, said
Produce Exchange broker to your CORE
spondent this morning. 81 am in posi-
ton to know that it is mostly talk without
foundation intended TO depress our wheat
market. India wheat can never compete
sive freight charges and the length of time
required in shipping it. True, labor is
cheaper there, but that is about all the ad-
vantage they possess. Extraordinary low
prices have prevailed for the past two years
in our market but no one believes they
have been brought about by competition
with wheat from India. India probably
exports 35000,000 bushels per annum. This
year we shall have about one-third of our
wheat to spare for export, as compared
with former averages Everybody is look
ing for war in the East, and al active, ex-
cited market, that's sure to follow"
