'111 11 1 M THE CHEEK F A KI3IATORIAI. SALEM. TUESDAY, t AKDHtATK. , Cheek lias finally achieved Its cli The personal torgan, which was -bought; l(r. Corbett. to be hU eclw, mo'tfh-t'ieiseand faithful creature, snys: i 'They Mr. Corbett's friend have 'no sch attachment to Mr. Corbett as would Induce them to press his claims 1 againtt the trixhe or fnterexta nf the MejmUtcan party. So Ur as we have any knowledge, Mr. Corbett Las never expressed a desire to be a candidate for the Senate, if any other man enuld better unite Uie xirfjf in this emergency. How Is that for high? Mr. Corbett's friends have no desire to press his claims against the ttlslies and interests of tlie Keptablican party 1 Mr. Cor bett has rto destre to be a candidate If anVof her man could better nnite the Iparty ! Tmpndence Itself must blush. now, at Us own Insignificance in com parison with the cheek of this Senator nd Senatorial candidate. Here Is Corbett, who, knowing that he was not the choice ol bis party for relw- tlon, declined to submit bis claims to the part y, and thereby did the Very act of all others best calculated to divide the party. He arrayed a small faction of friends whom he was able to con trol against a large majority. The wish of the party was eipressed In the regular, legitimate Vy In favor of another man. ft Vis the Interest of the party, then that the decision of the majority should stand, and that its choice should be elected ; because, otli erwlse, the organization could not be preserved Still Mr. Corbett persists in being a candidate-, and his friends continue to " press his claims." There would be no need to unite the party" If Mr. Corbett would sub mit to Its usages, lay his claims Wore , the party, and with other men, take his chances for the nomination, and. lite other men, respevt the decision of a majority. He Is the only man who Is dividing the party, or placing it in any danger Of being divided. But for Corbett, the Republican party would have elected a Senator more than ten days Ago, and there would have been no symptom ' of division. He unite the party, indeed ! Tim cheek of the man. who, with less than one-tourthot the Republican vote, talks of being a candidate at the request aud In accord ance with the wishes of the party, is something sublime in the wsy ot inea ureleM ' assurance. It Mr. Corlx-tt wants to unite the party, why does he stubbornly hold a smfill fraetiou of it aloof from the lni-ger part, and away v from all the ordinary means of com promise ? Senator Cokbett's hired man does not like to hear his master called a dlsorgnnlzer Well, then, let the Sen ator cease to be a disorganizer. The party is already disorganized when with a nominal majority of fifteen, on joint ballot, it Is so divided as to be unable to elect a Senator. Who di vides It? Certainly not the three- fourths majority w-ho have proceeded by the usual means employed .by the party, to select the Choice ot the party; not the men who have adopted the Jtlan which the cool, just judgment of the world will approve as the only pos sible fair way, for designating the Re publican condidate. Corbett and his strikers are the men who divide the party. . They have no right based upon either usage or fair-dealing, to maintain tnelr present attitude toward toe majority. By what right do nine men attempt to control all the balance of forty-three? What right has one county to insist that its choice, how ever decided it may be, shall be ac cepted by the others, or they shall have none? Tlie position of this mi nority Is totally indefensible, tried by any rules recognized In either organ ized political parties, or civil associa tions of any kind. Not even a dis trict debating society could be kept to gether, if the majority may be defied and its authority set at naught by the minority. Mr. Corbett makes the . breach ; he Is the disorganizer. It he don't like that name, let him cease to deserve If. . The personal organ seems to be de veloping an unworthy and scurvy trick to prejudice members ol the Leg islature against Mr. Mitchell. A member received a forged letter re questing hltn to vote tor Mitchell. The letter was such an one; as readily ex posed its own spurlousness and ought not to have deceived anybody, and probably did not. It was, however, a disreputable trick, played by whomso ever it may have been. It is not clear, by any means, but that it was pene trated by somebody for somebody who wanted fresh capital. At all . events, Corbett's strikers at once set up a howl of "fraud" as tliough they had been impoJ npou. : There is no evi dence to connect anybody in particular with the fabrication of the letter, tliough the letter ltelf furnishes evi dence, that it was. written , by some simple-minded and irresponsible per son, for what purpose remains to be seen. . Tlie unworthy trick about the matter is tlie' attempt of Corbett and his friends to impute it to Mr. Mitchell or some Of his Mends. It U a basely mean expedient, showing to-what des perate and despicable things desperate tnen will descend. J Were It not for one thing, we should feel that we ought to apologise to our readers for devoting our space so ex clusively to political matters, the last two or "three weeks. But there has been a most exciting struggle going on herean unusual and Important strug gle, invrfving issues which no Repub lican cotiiil Ignore, If ha cared at all for the existence of the Republican party. Faction and ambition attacked the organization ot the party, threat ening to annihilate it. The chief or gan of the party was purchased to serve the behests of the faction, and its voice as a Republican organ, hushed. ' We could not be a disinterested, nor t quiet, nor a silent spectator of the straggle. As a member of the great Republican party, the fight was our own, in a measure. We have done what we conld to wlu it. The fight is ended. The Republican party is tri umphant and faction is whipped, ir any of our readers are not satisfied, we have the consolation of believing that mott of them are. The majority car ries the question; and, ao after all, we do not feel called upon to offer auy apology. , ' . Theodore Tilton, the original dl coverer of Horace Greeley, admits Xbt as a Liberal victory, the result In Maine to a victory "less marked and complete than we had counted on." .Considering tliat the Grant Republi cans made a gain of over 6,000 since tlie lat State election, the query nat urally arises bow 'marked" and lmw complete" did the gushing Tlieodore "reiily expect the victory io he ?

Senntor yes terday noon was a signal triumph for the Republican party, assuring Its unity and perpetuity In this State. That Mr. Mitcliell was the represen tative' of the brains, energy and work ing strength of the iarty, cannot be questioned. His election Is an em phatic and crushing condemnation of disorganizers, and an assurance that the Republican party of Oregon will not suffer Itself to be sold or betrayed. For three weeks Mr. Corbett had been here endeavoring to form a combina tion with the Democracy to re-elect himself over the large majority of Re publicans who preferred another man We would gladly refrain from spent tng of thesv things further, were it not due to tlie Republican party that they stiould be spoken of in terms of cen sure, commensurate with the magni tude of the wrong attempted and the Interests involved. In the first place, Mr. Corbett it: dhcetl the greater number otliis Re publican friends to stay ont of caucus and to defy the regular party usage: Then all arts were employed to work up a coalition with tho Democrats. It was evident to every person of sound judgment tliat his scheme could not be pushed to success without inflicting an irreparable injury upon the Republi can party, because it would result In Inevitable disruption. But it was per sisted in. Day after day was spent in the attempt to form the combination the election being staved off from day to day to allow negotiations to lie pros ecuted. With a single exception, one ballot a day was all that was allowed. Mr. Corbett himself using all sorts ot devices to procare repeated adjourn meiits of the convention. The inter veiling time was spent in working up the coalition. Promises without lim it were made, and in not a few cases something more substantial than prom ises, was tendered. Finally, on 1- n day, an adjournment was effected by the united vote of the Democrats and Corbett men, with the understatidin; and under the belief that by twelv o'clock Saturday, the arrangement could be perfected. Tremendous pres sure was brought to bear to get tin united Democratic vote. A few ot tlie Democrats, however, held out and re fused to be transferred upon any term to Corbett. Still Corbett believed lie could succeed. The coalition had been worked up to that point where only a very few more vote would siifliee. Meantime, no effort was smired to break the ranks of the Republicans who stood faithfully by the caucus nomination. Corbett and his lieuten ants believed they had accomplished enough to secure liis election on the first or second ballot Saturday. But, on Saturday morning, an incident oc curred which, in an instant, changed the whole aspect of the case. The Corliett men had been constantly nreachiiiff asralnst corruption, and claiming for themselves to represent the morality and purity of the party But in their eacerness to gain tin ir point, they had reached a place wl.ere exposure and iniamy were Inevitable' Their own acts would not bear the Unlit, and to avoid disgraceful conse quences, Corbett was withdrawn. Meantime, however, the Democrats were ready to carry out their part of the programme; but being employed In their duties In the Senate and House, during Saturday morning, tliey weir not apprised of tlie circumstance which had made Corbett's withdrawal neces sary. The plot liad been exploded so suddenly that while Corbett's force stood dazed, the Democracy were overwhelmed with astonishment Even after Corbett had been with drawn, a considerable number of Dem ocrats, under the lead of Senator Brown, ot Baker, not comprehending the full extent of the calamity that had fallen upon their scheme, voted for Corbett. The coalition was thus fully proved. The entire Republican strengtli, except tlie Senator and mem ber from Polk county, went to Mitch ell, and he was elected. This Is, In brief, the history of the strueele whicti lias just closed. It I due to the Republican party of the State that so much ot it should be giv en. The tacts constitute no pleasing picture in the history ot a faction which has tried its best to override the Republican majority aud to beat it by treacherous coalition and the basest form of corruption. We trust It will be the last attempt in our party ot un holy ambition to put itself In the scales against the existence of the par ty. We are glad tojkuow that the Re publican organization, having tri umphed over treason and conspiracy, stands Intact strong and proud ready for future struggles and sttll other vie tories. The hired man who writes up mat ters at Salem for Mr. Corbett s per sonal organ at Portland; reveals the fact thai his master has prejudged the Clackamas contested case and ordered his forces to out out the silting mem bers. The sitiiug members "only hold their seats until the Committee o:i Elections can get in their report. When men are not maddened by am bltion or partizanlsm, they usually de cide such matters by judicial proceed Incs. In this case the Senator deems it a necessity to get those three Repub licans out of his way. What say the fair minded men of the House? Now that the Senatorial contest Is ended; since it ended as it did, we suppose that the " hired men" and the lecturers upon the sins of corruption. traud, etc., can go home; and we trust tliey will find time in retirement for tlie practice of those virtues about which they have preached so much in public for the last two or three weeks. Mr. Corbett directs his hired men to speak of the few meu who adhere to hint, as the Republican party, and the majority of thirty-four who do not chooae to follow him into party anar chy as a " ring" of factionists. Xext we shall hear the fly ou the ox's horn complaining that the bovine is a troub lesome, though Insignificant Insect. The Republican majority In Maine was more than 60 per cent, larger than It wa one year ago. A gain equal to tliat In the Pine Tree State throughout the cotintrp would re-elect Grant by a more decisive vote tlian tlist which indorsed the administration of Lin coln. "Don Quixote," of the Boston Trav eller, has found a man m Washington who Is going to take oath that Horace Greeley said, when General Beaure- caru was inovmsr upon t asiumri on, dnring the rebellion, that "he hoped to God be would take it." A spectroscopic examination ot the enthusiasm for Greeley" lias just been completed by Professor Sardine, and be reports that the color npou the screen was distinctly "blue." - - , 'Stanley writes a U tter to the Herald cec.aring a raise the stork- raiatliig to him iy 'oe. RATIFICATION. A Urantl B wily In thr SlrrHi of Nnlrm jsllumruaMon. jiiimc, SperrlKii. nn) 'U-er- T he He iMiblleu.i Party Kauuea. An Impromptu ratification meeting took place last evening in tlie street in Jront of tlie Chemeketa Hotel. A large crowd gathered licfore it was even dark, exhibiting almost impa tience to give expression to their satis faction at the result -of llie Senatorial election of yesterday. Nine-tenth of all the crowd were evidently more than gratified at the triumph of the party organization over faction, ami earnest congratulations passed from hand to hand and mouth to month A stand had been erected in front of the rjhemekcta, and around this the crowd gatliercd and waited for the appear ance pf the speakers. The Chemeketa was brilliantly lighted from lottom to top. aud the whole street was in gala array. Hon. J. II. Mitchell. U. !? benator elect, was shortly introduced by Speak er Mallory, who presided at the stand. Mr. "Mitchell made a brief, but hand some address, acknowledging the high honor conferred upon him, thanking the many friends who had united their voices aud efforts to elevate him to the honorable position of Senator, and pledging his earnest and studious ef forts as a Republican to maintain the party organization, and secure the complete success of its principles, aud as a Senator, to serve faithfully the whole people of Oregon. After Mr. Mitchell, the audience was addressed by Mr. W. D. Hare, candi date for Presidential Elector. .1. F. C'aples, member of the House, .1. O. Wilson, member of Congress elect. A. B. Meacham. candidate for Kleetor. Mrs. A. J. Duniway. ot the .New Northwest, and others. They each and all felicitated the Republicans upon the unity and invincibility of the Republican part", its ability to meet and overcome all its toes, whether in , open attack by an open enemy, or covert assault from infernal disorgan izers. The audience seemed to sympa thise fully with the sentiments of the speakers, giving them round after round of applause, at was not till a late hour that the crowd consented to give up the ratilication and di-pere. Salem -has rarely ever witnessed a more reusing, spontaneous outbuift ot rejoicing than was exhibited through out "all her borders" yesterday and last evening. It was as if the Repub lieau party had just come out of the heated furmuv, without even so much as the smell of tire upon its garments. And that was about how it was. FOK VlflOKY IX SOVESKKII. Now that the Republican party of Oregon has again fully asserted and vindicated its integrity, and shown that it is a party held together by principles instead of allegiance to men ; since it has shown that it can withstand attack from without or with in, there is every encouragement for its members to prosecute the next and all future battles, with vigor and con fidence. We are a united party ; Uni ted by bonds that hold alike every member of the party. We have a code ot principles which can conli dently challenge the severest critici-m. We have leaders upon who-e faithful ness and honesty, the people rely. All we now need to scatter our ene mies more widely and to defeat them more hopelessly than ever, is proper vigilance and energy. We must not rely too confidently npon our own strength or the demoralization of tin enemy. We must go to work, and keep to work. Thorough organization is the secret of great victories. A well organized army can be;it double its own loree badly disciplined. In numbers we are stronger than our opponents, in or ganization we are superior. We have made, in the East, hopeful gains upon the results of the preceding election-. The tidal wave is in our favor. Vic tory, in November, is ours, if we may trust any of the ordinary signs of the times. But we want a rousing victory ; a victory that will not only defeat but crush the hydra-headed enemy ; a vic tory that will endure and make future bnttles easier. We want a victory that will stand through all time as a warn ing to ambitions men, who would bar ter principle' for power. We can win such a victory In Oregon, if we go to work for it. Every Republican must do what he can ; and every man can do som 'thing. Organization Is what we need and must have ; organization in the minutest details; organization In every precinct. There should he a Grant mid Wilson Club in every town and precinct, and all should be in con cert and correspondence with the coun ty and State Committees. Take the Republican papers and procure aud distribute campaign documents. Make a long pull, a strong pull aud a pull all together, and the State is ours, not only for this fall, but for years in the luture. We give place, this tnornu-g, to a statement in relation to the withdraw al of Mr. Corbett from the Senatorial contest, with simply the remark that the writer, Mr. Webster, tate Sena tor from Douglas, is a gentleman ol muuieHionablc honor aud veracity and he stales matters upon his personal knowledge. If anything wen: want ing to show the compactness and strength of the Republican organisa tion it is the fact revealed by Mr. Webster that Mr. Corbett could not retain in his support even Ins warmest personal adherents, a moment after they became convinced that their con tinued adherence would endanger the unity and perpetuity of the party. As illustrating the reliability of the Herald's political items, showing how enthusiastic the world is becoming for Greeley, we may mention a recent ore in which It was slated that Mr. Flem ing of Oregon City, "the oldest prin ter" etc. was out for Greeley. This would have done very well, but for the lact that the "oldest printer" has been dead for something like a year. The Albany Journal says : "New York will cast her vote for Grant by a majority as overwhelming as was ever recorded for any Presidential cutidi- date In tlie State.' TI1E TERRITORIES. Bev.

A Statement, by one ol 171 foiifidcn Hal I'ersonnl l'rieuds. Salem. Sept. 2.), 1S72. Kditou Statesman- : lu your issue of this morning, appears a statement with reference to the cause of Mr. Corbett's withdrawal n a t-.-iudidate for U. S. Senator, which I believe to lie unjust to that gentleman. I have i otne knowledge of the circumstances which led Mr. Corbett to withdraw, mid deem it but justice that they should lie made public through your columns. , It had been previously agreed upon lietween Mr. Corbett and his friends, that, whenever, in the judgment of me or two of their numlier, it became vldent that our candidate could not , Iw-elected, his name should be witli- ilrawn. In consultation on Saturday ! tiorning, I, myself expressed my be ief that it was impossible to elect Mr. lorbett, and that it would be unwise ' ir him to allow his name to be used I irtlier in the contest. Mr. Corbett ' t.d a majority of hi friewU wished to Hitinne the contest till Monday next; evertheless Mr. Corbett said that he ; id assured his friends that he would ithdraw whenever any of his friends -sired it, and would net violate that pledge evn to be elected. lie said that lie wqnld leave it entirely with me to snv S hetlier his name should be withdrawn or not. I told mm ttmt I cou'.d not (ote to continue th Sena torial cftntf-st till another week, am' that I desled bis mime withdrawn ; and I left (dm at a late liotu- in the morning I fter the Senate had belli in session for halt an hour with, the nn derstandiuj that bis name wihi! te withdrawn irorn tin.' contest. Ami, l will add. tint I have the iuo-4 reliable informal ioli that hi letter ot' wilh- Irawal wa written immediately after I left his i-okipnny. Very necttVilly yours. '(!. WilEjTXH. Tiir. o'.tiuix M.viitiAi. ijj: . The Sitimtlon levtt tv i Wainlcr rted OutNiuc Spi'flatw. The U alla Walla LVinu, after no ticing the sale ot tlie Oregcmian. to become the month-piece f ty-nator Corbett, the retiracy of Mr. Sent r, and the accession of Mr. Hill to. the edi torial chair, continues : " And with these changes comes an other and a far more import. !.! one that ot principle, lleretofiirv the Ore g,:tuiau has U-en one of lyy Biost eon--lant as well us one of the uuti, uble.re liable and trustworthy Kepubliyim r ipins on tin; coa-t.

' Another point attempted to be made by Uie Orej;oiiioii ejiiist Mr. Mitchell, and in favor ot Mr Corbett, is that six years ago, when Mr. Milch el! and Gov. ;ibbs went into camns. anil Mr. (iilb- received the c.iueii nouiiiuitioii over Mr. Mitchell for Sen ator, that some ot Mr. Mitchell's friend-refused to support Mr. (iibbs. and thus defeated the caucus nominee. l!ut it is well known that they did this aamsl Jlr. Mitchell wishes, and he was not piiiier thereby on Uie con trary. Mr. OorlM-tt was the person ben efitted, for by their action he wa liualiy elected as a coin promise man. and not because ot his tirnes.s for the position. Wlii-n we follow tliis up a little iurlhcr and see chat some ol" iho-e lio bolted have been rewarded by hit olliees by S-nalor J 'orfs-tt, wo are led to the belief that he was perhaps more to blame for this bolt than any other person, and that he is the one man more respon :ihle tluui any other. It is nut iikciv that he would pay these men had he not promised so to do ! fore his election. In viewing tlie tv.o men throught such light as can he t brown on the pa-;, we, inu-t conclude that the standing of Mr. Mitchell in reli t enee to his party counccliou. i-s f.-ir tSu more creditable. As to the ability of ehe two men. Mr. Mitchell is so far tlie sujienor of his opponent that wo w ill not attempt to draw the compari-xni. The standing of the two men iu tin ir party may be rt-adily mnlerMoiMl w hen Mr. Mitchell goes to Silem and oilers to allow ;l.e llepiihlieali members in caucus to sty wi- shall In- the liepuhlican nominee, while Mr. Corl-tt ami the Oregouiau are wtirring against tl it- caucus sy-teui, knowing, us they do. Ih-it Mr. t orbeti N not 1 tie- choice of the majority of the Kepol'lieilus in that body, and that lie would never receive he caucus -nomination. There is evidently a bargain n'.-d s:i)i' between Mr. Corbett and the Democra cy. I he Deniocrits are in the minori ty in the Legislature, and know fitl well that u Democrat caiinor be elect ed; they therefore wish to pick upon tlie weak i-st kneed llcptihiicnn in the field, anil support him. if be will m.-iki Kitistacto.-y t oncessions. The re is no! much douot that Mr. Corbett has satis fied lliem on this point. Now. with this view of tilings, if 1 1 it- Oregonia, and Mr. ( .an bet t can prevent the lte publicans going into emeu-, they e pect to e;et the united ih nincr il ic von tilnl n I'e-A- llepubileans. and thus elect him. In that event Mr. Corbett won d be the Democratic and not ti.e Kepuh iiean candidate. This taken in eon-'.il-er.itiou .villi the fact that Mr. Corbe:t's editor, Mr. Iliil. went oil' iast spring with tin- llolly aniens, and a brotight back again before he had st av ed too fir away, iiiu-t leave the im pression tliat the Oregouiau and Mr. Corbett cm n longer Ik- counted on a reliable liepuhlican institutions." A JKAI.OI S IIIIIAMI S KKVi:t.j;. A terrible tragedy has recently been enacted in Krazil. It appears that a noble of the empire, a man of laivo posses-ions and great mllue ne. marri ed at Hiatus age a young and nm-t lovely woman, l'or some time ail went pleasantly. Among llie constant visitors at the nobleman's villa was an ollicer of the Urazili.ui army, whose intentions to the nobleman's lady soon became very marked. Allhouglievery one el-e observed the growing intima cy lietween the two. the liu-lmnd. him self appeared utterly unob-ervaut of the fact. At length the truth was thrust upon I li mi. and he was obliged, niiieh again-t his will, to admit that the intimacy bi tweeu his young .wife aud tin: hand some ollicer had been criminal. He was a man of strong feelings, but of great self-posse-siou and determina tion. After tin: fact of his wile's in tidelitv had been placed beyond dou!;:. he apparently soon resolvxl on tin course that he would pur-iie. Ti e ol ticcr wa a guest at bis villa. Af.ir breaktii-t one morning, tlie luar.jiiis iuforiiiett the ollicer th the wi-hed a few moments' con vers;: lion with him. They retired to the library, whemi , after a short intervew, tbry 'aim-, arm in arm. and apparently the he-t of friends. They pas-ed into the grounds and waved an adie.i to the ladies who occupied one of the balconies. Shortly alter mid-day the mar pii-e, w ho sat in her boudoir, was start !-d by a sh irp knock at tin- door. She lan guidly hade the vi-itor enter. A terri ble surpri.se awaited her. Tlu di'Mir opened; she recognized the tread of lu r hn-bi;:i! turned her h ad. Horror of horrors! The marquis advam-ed with th; bloody bead of her lover, on a d'th! He bold the dreadful offering before his guilty and shiiildcring wife, and said : Madam, the colonel sends you this, and regrets that he cannot present It in peron." The horrified woman gazed with un utterable anguish on the awful sc tiiele. Tlie innrrpils deliberately drew his revolver, placed it to his wife's ear and blew out her brain. He then shot himself thorough the heart. It is supposed that the manpits and the colonel had fought with swords, as the hitter's body, pierced through the heart, was found in an ad joining w ood, aud that the nobieinan having slain his aiiveary had cut off his head, and then Mni lied the dreadful tragedy as already described. It is reliably reported that Cortlnas 1 a Ix-en writing letters to friends in 'lexas, calling them to assist him in an intended raid into the country in the vicinity of Laredo. j A lterlin letter says that during llie late Imperial entry eight persons were sumxiired and trampled lo death o,i one night ami fifteen more mortally ivoondetl.

Sale of some ipian titii s of grain have operated to eaae elf the stringency somewhat. The Eastern money markets are upectetl to rule easy during the winur Binnths. Tlie public bankn in Now York hava not, lately, been extending thiir hwut, but private liankers have fully supplied the daily want, by call loans. Preparations for the State Fair, which ojiened this morning, have, given a consid erable impetus to business, and the usual fall trade having set in, the mercantile communi ty is enjoyingabetterslateof thing than lias been experienced during the- year. The in dications are that the attendance at the State Fair will be larger this year than eveT. The teiwu will lie there fore iu a state of fe ver for the wetk. Sales during fair week are usually liberal both iu town anel at the grounds. We presume this fair seasein will be no exception to the rule. Wo are glael to know tliat tlie farmers hive a prospect of doing better with their wheat than to have accepted the lirst uffcrs of buyers. Most of the wheat purchases in the valley counties are now on tliL- basis of about 80S2Vkc t'l bushel with freight to Portland off. The farmers of tliis county, therefore, realize about 70fe724C per bush el. The price in Liverpool is steadily sus tained at aliout 13s 2d and 13s 3d. Should tliat market bold up to such figures through tho winter, prices will certainly be better he re than the y arc now. The euoiuioujly high freight is all that prevents an immedi ate aeivanex. Wc must wait patiently for an incri ase of vessels. As to tlie probabilities in regard to ti e price of win at in England, we may state the following facts gleaned from all seHirces, through statistics and intelligent estimates: France will have a large surplus tor export, tliis year. Lat year France was a large buyer. Germany has probably a bttle less than the average yield. Sjialn a full aver age. Denmark reports her crop below the average. Italy has a considerable deficiency. Hungary has barely an average surplus fur export. There is an expected deficiency in the wheat crop of 1872 iu Northern Ku.ssia, from which ports l.OO'J.'JtH quarters of wheat were exported during the week ending December 31, 1871, of which 300,887 were txjiorted from January 1 to August 12, 1871. The exports from January 12, 1872, to August 12, 1872, were 3)2,841 tjuarttrs of whe-at. The exports in 1871, from August 12th to December 31st. were 012,077 quar ters. It is not expected that anything like this amount will be txpurtedfrom Northern Pussia ports from August 12, 1872, to De cember 31, 1872. It is also expected that the supply from Russia Southern ports, in cluding those of AzofaudlllackSia.swill not le equal ill 172-3 t tliat from the crop of 1871. Tlie I'nitetl Kingdom will demand tliis year not less than s3,3Ki,H0il bushel alsive its own productions. Tue destruction of the potato crop by rot increases tlie de mand for bivadstulfs. Striking a balance among the consuming and producing coun tries, the chances set m to I- in favor of better average prices than ruled last year. POBTLAKD PRODCCE KAKKET EEV1T.W.
