the hay market Yesterday The demand is fully equal
TO the supply The market is strong and sellers are
holding up prices well, but the other hand business
ia so dull and buyers living along IN such hand-to

they have TO come dewn reasonable figures. They did
get mn short lived excitement Tuesday at the Central

grew ont of an interview with superintendent
I1tch OF the Manhattan Hay Exchange which was pub
lished In enc OF the evening papers recently That
report had its effect In keeping back some hay that
would otherwise have been shipped TO this market but

Democrats into feeling OF perfect security and then
appearing the polls ten tho afternoon captur-

Shaw This has practically destroyed for all time the
chance OF eecting Democrat to the Senate. Provided
party differences should General Logan 10 fail of
an election and other Republican, chosen at
this session, and the matter be held In allegiance until
another popular election, the opportunity Of the Demo-
cratsof again creating tic would be very remote The
result made General Logan many adherents by
the very Ooldness!and audacity Of tho II was like
the lightning stroke OF flying column in tho field
against a ponderous and over-conident enemy. and
while Democrats bewalling the result and heaping
odum upon the leaders for permitting suoh defeat,
they are lost In admiration OF the generashp which cut
their army 10 pieces. They have been IMMERSED and
nothing can now prevent the election Of Republican

CTbe above letter confirms ex-senator Wilkinson's
conclusion that Admiral Porter must have been
suffering severely from a lapse of memory when he
wrote his recollectiOns OF what occurred between
himself and President Lincoln on board the Nag
shin Malvern and Immediately afterward; and its
account of the verbal instructions delivered to
General Weitzel and of their reception at head
quarters is perhaps the most interesting chapter in
the historic episode. We have received for publica-
ton a letter III which Admiral Porter responds 70
ex-senator Wikinson's statement OF facts The
Admiral does not attempt an answer but contents
himself with personal attack, OF which the lOl-
lowing extracts are fair sample:

WHEAT CROP PROSPECTS.
The Reports Are Very DiscOuraging as to
the Condition OF Winter, and a:De-
crease I'm Acreage Is Reported.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. Isl. w. Tallmadge, of
this city, has late and important informs-
ton from many of the principal winter
wheat growing St&tes. Complaint seems
general that owing to the unreasonable fall
and winter, the condition of winter wheat is
most unfayorable, aud the promise for even
e fair outcome is not very hastering. Mich
igan, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Ken
tucky, report a large decrease in acreage,
and owing to the severity Of the winter, the
damage has been very great. The weather
has been unusually cold, and many of the
principal wheat counties have been bare of
snow up to within the past week, and the
wheat is wholly frozen out, which
will necessitate plowipg up in
the spring and resolving, or the planting of
other cereals. The damage in these States is
variously estimated at from 10 to % per
cent, Kansas, Missouri and Kentucky being
the principal sufferers. The Southern States,
especially the Southeast complain Of an ex-
tended drought in the fall, which resulted in
severe damage to the early soWn wheat, and
prevented the sowing OF late wheat, conse-
qUently the area in three States is reduced
to nesllY one-halt that of last year. Mr..
Tai madge has official advices from all the
agricultural departments or statistical agents
OF the pIIBClpal winter Wneht raising o5ates,
giving the area sOwn TO wheat as compared
with last year. The figures show large de-
crease, ranging from 10 to SO per cent. Many
of the large producing States, including Kan
sss, Illinois, Missouri and Indiana, show q
large decrease. Mr.. Tallmage has made an
average of shortage In acreage as compared
with last year and 1t shows said shortage to
be fully 20 per cent. The Agricultural De-
pariments and Statistical Agents Of the
piincipsl wheat States say their agents
repor5 that there will probably be large
falling in The area sown to wheat this COM
ing spribg. This applies more especially to
lows, Minnesota and Dakota; farmers in
these sections say wheat raising has not
been good for the past two years, aud they
will lay more attention to raising flax and
other products which they think will result
more prOftably to them.
