The money markets of Europe re ports easier ami rates lower. In New York tlie money pressure is rrowitig lighter, and a general tend ency to easier times is noted. The American ship, Koswell Sprag ue. 923 tone, in ballast from Valparai so, and the British bark, Sarah Scott. DOO tons, from Cardiff via Yokohama. Iioth to load with wheat for Europe. are reported as having arrived at Port- ; land durinir the week. The American Iwrk. Penang, from Hong Kong, is also reported In the river. The Portland Bnttett says that car goes for the four vessels then (Tuesday) at tliat port, were already bought, paid for. and on the wharf, and that cargoes were also engaged for the thre e otlier vessels expected to arrive before the close of tlie present week. It tliere fore sees no immediate cause for an advance in the present price ot wheat. The recent abuses of tlie pilotage rystem at the Columbia river bar Iws greatly exasperated the Merchant and exporters of Portland. Tlie outrage ous neglect of the shipping interests by the pilots at the mouth of tlie Columbia, has been the subject of se vere oouinieuts by correspondents, business men and newspapers for mouths past. Continue to shake tliem up until a reform Is forced. In regard to the wheat prospect in the United Kingdom we give tlie fol lowing paragraphs, the first being from a correspondence to the London f tat, and the second from a correspondence to the Mirk I aw Arc.-w : Judging from present appearances the area under Wheat in 1873 will prove one of tlie shortest on record. Kodthi following tlie most inferior crop which has been harvested for many years, must awaken erlous ap pfcheiiioHs on the part of consnmers as well as producers. Perhaps a high er range of pi ices than those of the preent would, by increasing tlie al ready liberal foreign supply, eventual ly prove the best o!icy. ' From personal observation in various uLstrictS I have come to the conclusion that only about one-lwif of the Wheat intended to have been sown has been got hi. and Unit In the worst possible coudition, as may be seeu by tlie in numerable horse tracks left m almost every field, and now standing full ot water to the oruu.

A mad dog in Silver City, Cal., has energized the people so they can shin up a thirty-two foot tree in two sec onds. Tlie cause why people drink so ranch whisky in San iliego.
