CHICAGO, Sept. 5-Wheat at the open

stale from frequent reptition. 1t made
a fair start about Nc advance and had to
Immediately return and commence over
again. The immediate cause of the OPEN
ing rise was the temporarily cheerful tone
of the columns of the morning papers and
the publication of S,S69, 1852 bushels as the
flour and wheat exports of the week, COM
pared with 2,260,0 bushels on the similar
week of the year before. Cables, as has
frequently been the case recently. did not
respond to the decline here yesterday, and
this was an additional source of strength:
The weakness which so quickly succeeded
the Ac opening advance was ostensibly
the result of the carload receipts at Minne-
apolis and Duluth, being reported as num-
bering lit cars against 1853 last year. The
effect of this was dissipated, however
when it was learned that the receipts at
Minneapolis were the accumulation of two
days. The Chicago receipts were 1858 cars,
only ten Of which were OF contract quality.

Prospects Of the cranberry Crop Ia New Jer-

Likely to Rule Strong

The worlds annual supply of rubber gum
is between 6O,0O0,00O and 100000 pounds,
and of this, roughly speaking, about two
thirds comes from Para and Manaos. OF
course. if we can produce the same gum
in our own country there would be possi-
bihty of gain in it. All that we know is,
practically. that we get it from the ship
pers in those countries where it grows.
All that the shipper knows is that he gets
1t from the contractors. All that
the contractor knows is that he sends bands
of natives into the forest each season, hav-
ing grub-staked them, and that at the end
Of the season they either come back or
they don't. And If they do, they usually
bring more or less gum with them. 1t is
believed, though, very little is known about
1t, that the Indians bleed the trees to death
and that they have to go further and fur
ther into the forest each season. This
seems certain, because the supply has
ceased in many districts. Whether it would
be practicable to save the trees after bleed
ing them by plugging them up cannot be
told positively, because none Of the natives
will do this, and no civilized men work at
the actual gathering. All we know is that
the Indians gather it, dry it by smoking and
bring it back in Jumps. The annual i'm

Dear Sir,
lnsinuatingly, for the benefit of
America X has conveniently, TO his pur-
pose, cited an srtic Q from the ST. Thome
Tidsnds, to the effect, that the Republican

He, however, omitted the following clause,
which stated that they were, afterwards,
accommodated wide Tidende 9th june
Now, while this has beer attributed to
race prejudice, by a Democratic newspaper,
the IN. Y. Herald it ia very likely the re-
suit of political intrigue, as it is only too
probable, that the Democrats, with the inten-
ton Of creating discussion among the Repub-
LEANS, might have paid we'll t4s proprietors
to act thus.
If, however, such he not the case, I find
that the Washington Weekly Post, of 9th
June, in its extensive account of the matter.
says:

contosting delegations 3cere marked By no
