I Within the. last fow days there has j occurred iiiltu ii risu In the price of wheat In Liverpool, which bus pro-due-oil n correspond lug rho and ox jeitetnent in S.tn 1'ranci-co. It Is not I easy, at tlio precent time, to accu Irately predict what the aspects of 1 tlio wheat markets of the world will 'he late In the fall, hut, so fir, the in 'dleationsnro that we shall got a fair I price for our surplus, and that Mir plus will considerably oM-oed that of J any former year. The Salem Mills 'are now paying eighty cents, at j which price our farmers can realize 'cash for Immediate u-e. The Sail I'raii(i-co market thietuato-; one day this week a milliu'i and a half bushels of wheal changed hand, enough lo load all the oi!. to ar rive in that port for the next .-!. weeks.

Wo may therefore look for cpeculatlou there, hiilourtriie Index Is the limitations at Liverpool. The Knglh harvest is only Just commencing, and private adviiei received in Portliud .state that heavy rains have ncciincd there, which have greatly Injured mill beaten down the grain, mi that much of It is not worth harvesting. It seems to he certain that thcMoik of wheat on hand In the Kne.H-h mar ket and the average of receipts for some mouths past have fallen far be low the amount reported last year. That of itself would produce a tem porary ri-o in tlie price there, hut tlie present quotations may he al-o greatly Influenced by knowledge of damage done to crops In Pnglanil, and .scarcity there as a con-eiiienie. I'm nee has nut ii-nally been a very Kre.it wheat-buyer, that being one ol tlie great producing States of the world, but thnre ceeins to be a pros pect of -carclly tht-ic al-o, and that she will come into the mirk"l its a piireha-er.
