the increased strength of trade recently re

Indeed, (or tho moment, tho upward tend

no business. Tho week's importations of
foreign wheat iuto Loudon wero again modi r
ate, lust Mouday's list showing tho arrival of
20,000 quarters, wlillo tho subsequent supply
up to Friday did not exceed 32,000 quarten .
The requirements of the country havo been
very light, und us millers appear for tho
present to be fairly stocked or at any rate
unwilling to follow an advance in prices, last
week's improvement has been lost. As re
gards American varieties, the ieadiug fea
ture of the present sason ia the unusually
low point to which maize baa fallen, and in
spite of Ihe reduced prices maintained for
the moment, there has been uo sign of a re

Theru has been little inquiry for either

pressed, notwithstanding moderate supplies

.sources must ho counted by millions oti
dollars, or rather cannot be estimate!
and If this devastation Is to continue ()
must anticipate .serious results in tit'
effect to bo produced on climate. It ii
true that in time another growth will
conie'iu thojilaco of the forests primeval,
a, great iiroiwrtion of which have lieea
thus destroyed. Tho time will come
when tho want of the timber thus reck
lessly destroyed will be Heriously fell.
We are told that the growth o(
new foresU within the limits of Orrijon
and YV-ishiugtou fully make up any effect
to bo deprecated with legard to climate.
That may lie so, but much of this new
growth is ou lauds iu this valley that will
hoon be needed for cultivation, and ia
any case nectlle-ss destruction of tut
native forests is seriously to be depre
ciated. While it is important to protect the
forests necessary to pn:servo the climatic
inlluences that gie our western valleti
i their value, by insuring their regular
I yield of cereals," it is not less necebsatj
I to do what can be done to reclaim th
ington, east of the I'uscatles, that is no
nearly treeless, and is t-o badly lacking
iu water for stock und agriculture.
Much of this legion is coming into use,
as it affords good pasturage and bus rich
v alleys, and uplands us well, that bring
good crops. Water and timber would
dovclup this vast region iuto u paradise.
If forests nnd streams were to replace
thu monotony of sagu plains aud cirj
gulches, it would be u most attractive
region. It seems wild und visionary,
perhaps, to talk of such a condition ol
things us possible, but time and care can
accomplish a great deal. Much land is
being claimed under the timber cul
ture net, and if this wise liberality ou
; the part of government is taken proper
advantage of, and tho growth of timber
natirul to that region is pro
moted, the results mny iu time jus
tify all anticipations now entertained.
The presence of timber strengthens the
force of water courses. Streams anJ
springs will be found in now dry place
when the surface of thu earth is pro
tected by tho growth of timlier nnd
underbrush. That the gieat, treeleM
plains will lx iu a measure reclaimed is
more thiin pebble. Artesian wells may
be mude to play an important part in
the work of transformation. With tht
lapse of decades our population in
cieases und land will 1,0011 become more
than ever desirable and the reclamation
of the.su wastes becomo u desideratum.
When tho future of the leitio State ii
contemplated we must include the settle
ment and cultivation of the great inte
rior basins iu the estimate made ot
future- progress. The polioy of State
and general governments should Is? to
develop forest growth in every part
ot tin
nation where uesoluto areas an
found, and ulso to protect the forest
where they are essential to secure favor
able climatic influences. There is grea'
danger that many of our richest ugri
cultural regions, iu all parts of tin
Union, will soon begin to show the un
happy effects of the depletion of forests
and consequent lessening of rainfall and
lowering of watercourses. He.
