THE COUNTRY ON BED ROCK.

The further decline in wheat last
week again broke all records aod
elected the walls Of agriculturiss on
Hungarian plains and Western prai-
ries. and farmers in the valley of
. the Thames stood aghass as they COM
puted the loss on every acre they had
nlanted with the cereal.
OF course the price of commodity
cannot permanently remain below the
cost of production, and the worlds
Weld of the cereal is certain to be
sharply reduced next year. On Fri
day and Saturday prices advanced
smarsly, aud large amount was bought
here for export, giving rise Co hope
that the turn has come at last.
Our other great exportable staple,
cotton, however, continued to fall, and
on Saturday sold at the almost incre.
dible price of less than 5 cents a
pound. At this rate the planters OF
the South may begin to clamor for
lower rates from the railways. just as
the wheat growers of the West did a
few years ago when the price of grain
began to fall.
The reduced demand for our great
staples in the worlds market and their
lower prices must have far reaching
consequence. Ten years ago the cot
ton we exported paid for all our coffee
and sugar and left a handsome surplus
TO our credit. Atpresens our exports
Of both cotton aud wheat just about pay
for the coffee and sugar we import.
Moreover, the demand for the greatest
Of all our exportable commodities
securities-has ceased altogether.
For years we had the use OF too much
foreign capital and our pace was too
fast. From the billion dollar Congress
down to the salaried clerk there was too
much extravaganza, and in the manage
nent of corporate properties too much
ballooning and downright fraud and
theft. Aud now Europe needs less ef
our breadstuffs, and will take our cotton
only at unprecedented prices and won't
take our railroad securities at all. The
billion has collapsed. aud We are down
on terra 6rma. The travelling is bit
rough for the time being, but We have
solid ground under foot and already have
INIT behind MS the worst bit of road.
During the greater part Of last week
the lack Of export demand for bread
stuffs, With attendant scarcity of COM
mercial bills and consequent necessity
for exporting gold, exer,ed q depressing
influence upon trade aud speculative
circles. Only $1,000, 600 Of the pre-
eious metal was sent abroad, aud it
purchases of wheat should continue We
may be able to avert further efiux.
The dulness Of trade and the continued
accumulation Of silver and paper money
at this centre exert continuous pres
sure to drive gold out Of the country.
City banks, as shown by Saturdays
statement, now hold more than S62,
500, 900 in excess of their required
reserve.-N. 2. Herald.

Most OF our farrneIs have been quiet
for some time on account of bad roads,
but are in hopes Of good sleigh ing in
few days.
The majority of tax payers are well
satisfied with the deal between Grant
County and Mr.. Aupperle and think
that the action of the board saved the
county much trouble and expense.
Some others say that the calling of the
board and the purchase OF the property
made the county great expense but we
are clear of law suit, and have good
property to show for the money.

The road tax question has almost
died out. Those who had to pay their
highway taxes after working them out
did it like men. but say that this matter
is not yet settled.
Many were interested in helping
secure those who committed the Smyih
robbery. but we also think that the
party or parties that allow minors to
play pool and still more to sell them
liquor ought to be punished.
The law is as binding upon one
party as upon another and it ought TO
be observed. Mr.. Smyth and his family
have the sympathy of the entire CON-
munity in their trouble. for they are
very worthy people, and many of us
hope that Mr.. Smytn will secure dam.
ages from the parties that gave his son
liquor.
