SALEM. TUESDAY,

, 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. , '

TOR.
The election ot U. S. 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

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.

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.

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. It ia invariably
tood lor principle and for fl.t- be-f In
terests of the rty, regardie- of fr
onal prelereiuvs or indtvuLnal like
aud di-likes. It has Iktii an itiii ol
he party, and n"? the sdvoitire of any
one man or cTrpw. Now, however,
this is all changed; the pJiper i no
longer the orpin of the ptnty. but is
the uioulh-pit-ce of Senator 'orlielt.
'e are sorry to see the pa pin- till b;vk
from the influential -land il formerly
occupied and In-come the horn through
which the Senator sounds his own
praise, i lie clianje was made just at !
he time of the uieetii-.u; of tin- lis. :
I ture. and only a few days before llie
.H-natorial election was to ctwi oil.
aud everyliody knows tint it was done
in order to aid the St!iiitoi to .-uioflicr
term in the linited States Si-uale.
' 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.

The money market still centinuea clcse,
tliough there is more coin in circulation
than one month ai. 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.
