The advance in prices for the past
few weeks caused large shipments to the
East, and our State may be pretty well
drained of all that was intended for an
early market. The editor of the .Mchi.
gan Farmer, who is we'll posted i'm re-
gard to future demands says: "Those
who have their wheat in their grana.
ries had better keep it there for some
time. as the next two months will prob
ably be the worst of the year in which


to sell. The sudden closing of the
canals in New York, without any pros
pect Of re-opening, has shortened up
the stock at the seaboard. Fully mil
lion and a quarter bushels of wheat are
stuck in the Erie canal, and this unex-
pected cut off is causing some specula-
ton as to what will be the result. This,
however, would be of little consequence
If there were large stocks at the west
that could be drawn upon. But we
think it will be found that the surplus
wheat in the wheat growing states is
much less in quantity than is supposed |;
and as it is conceded that the southern
states lave a short supply, aud must use
good deal of what is on hand in Ohio,
Indiana, Kentucky and Missouri, there
will probably be less sent forward dur
ing the winter than usual, so that the
spring will open with the eastern mar,
ke;s pretty clear Of this grain. This is
one Of the main points in tho condition
| of the wheat trade that should be un-
derstood. The latest advices by mail
from Europe indicate that wheat is held
very firm all over the continent at the
ports which ship this grain and though
prices in Great Britain have not adj
vanced, and the market there is quiet,
yet there is greater feeling of uncer-
tainty about the future range of plices
than is usual. The wants Of France are
known to be heavy, but to what extent
that country can get along and feed her
population, with her little crop, and
great deficiency, is not yet developed


Speculations are at a stand still. The
Mark Lane Express of the latest date
received, says that the idea that the ne:
cessities of France must have decided
effect on prices, has become so preva


lent all over Europe that it is checking

testimony to the efficiency, honesty, and

they could render any aid every particle of
clothing was burned from her body, except q
small band passing around her waist. She
was taken into the house, her clothes and

A thousand millions of dollars is now
what appears to be settled as the indem-
nifty which France is to pay Germany.
This is an immense sum, and the nation
would probably have had some difficulty
to raise it, but the Rothschilds have stepped
forward and offered to pay the amount
within year, and when it is received in
the royal Golfers large portion of the
German troops will leave the soil. of
France. The ability Of the great financiers
cannot be doubted, and thus one portion of
the difficulty in which France has been
placed obtains solution. Next we have
the cession of territory.


Nothing is said as to any other part of
Lorraine than the great fortress Of Metz,
but it is hardly possible that the territory
along the German frontier, to the base of
the Vosges, will not be included. 1t may
be that the part of Lorraine which is
ceded includes all the territory on the east
bank of the Moselle to point near Nancy.
All Alsace is probably to be taken, except
Belfort, which is to be left to France. 1t
is very strong fortress, but as the Ger
mans will hold the passes of the Vosges,
its possession is rendered nugatory in a
military point of view. Strasbourg, Thion-
vile. Nancy, and Metz, become German,
and form for it frontier line that will be
almost impregnable from the westward.

A family, consisting of five members,
stopped off at the Union depot this morn
ing, who attracted considerable attention,
and around whom our reporter futtercd in
despair-his wiliest attacks, his schemes
and ruses, that had never failed before,
were powerless to elicit single word of
information. They wouldn't even deign
to speak to him, and he was about to COM
nit suicide, when to his infinite disgust he
learned that all of them, save the young
est, were dumb The father, mother, and
two children were deaf mutes, and the
fifth-about four years old-was but little
removed from idiocy.


Of course our reporters curiosity was
considerably increased by this announce
ment, and he very soon had an interpreter
talking to them with the end of his fingers.
The family came from Ohio, and are by
no means dependent, being possessed of
modest little competence which they pro-
pose to invest in house and lot here.
The husband is cobbler, and will prob
ably find work readily. Both husband
and wife, and also the two elder children,
write and read, and all carry little states
with which they manage to do their neces-
sary conversation. The man talks with
bis fingers much more rapidly than the
most slillful pensman could transcribe.


In questioning them as to whether their
affliction had long been hereditary, our re-
porter learned that the man and wife were
married in the Ohio asylum for the deaf
and dumb. where they both had been
learning to read, and that each of them
was the child of parents who had been
closely related before marriage--the mans
father and mother had been uncle and
niece, and the womans had been cousins
He learned also that very large proper
tion of natal deafness was traceable to the
same cause,s sand that it was, in such cases,
often hereditary. 1t seems as if Providence
had laid penalty upon such marriages
more fatal than the decrees of church or
State.--Kansas City Nescs.
