H. lkoniinilt. FlllMY Oct. 22, I8S0. The market for the staple continues uneven, yet in thisrcspcctwccaiiuotdiscovcr.iuy weak spot, although some paitica who hold dear wools will piobably dissent from our iews. This wo cannot help. On all wools brought early in the season without disiiiiniuation, uch as California, Texas, hako and Territory, there is a heavy losa of fiom 2c. to 7c. n pound right straight along, and thu same ia to some extent true of lino Western lleecca, which were liought beforo thoy wero grown or ahorn olf the sheep. This loss Is felt all round, but it falls heaviest on apeculators. Nor nro dea lers or manufacturers exempt from heavy los ses in some instances. This uneven range of prices runs right through thu markets still. H'e auppoae lino lleecca eau bu bought chcaiier in New York and llostou to-day than in Ohio or Indiana, and as for Texas and California wools it takes a keen expert to purchase tlicin wltli any iirarca of safety. Hnrliig lex as wools uru selling below thu Fall clip, and no ono can tell within several cents n pound which is thu cheapest until thu wools are scoured clean. The improvement noticed last week is sustained here, and ia now mora sensi bly fult in Jloton, Ohio, Indiana, Texas and California, wlicm sellers have put their prices from lo. to 2c. n pound. i ij Itnrbrrs nnil Mint Inu. COMMERCIAL. TllltliMiAY, Nov. ft, 1880. At tho data of last issue wu noted an im fpforeincnt in wheat at Liverpool which has lieen HUitaiued through thu week, and a far ther advance one shilling a quarter noted, NO that on Weilneeday Liverpool quotation! vers a trilln higher than at any time thu present tcasou with a good demand horu at 91,471 per cental, and a trilln beyond for choice round Iota. We cannot learn of any transactions of note at that Itguro, but munu wheat changed hands at $l.4Hj for a very dealrablo lot, Tho general report is that no wheat ia ndling nt rates nllcrcd. Its not easy to predict what may happen in the F.ngliih market. It ia liable to drop at any moment if supplies are abundant, but seems to lie held up at present by alou ness of American w heat growers to accept current rates. Shipments from this coast aro far behind last ) car at the umo time, and the samu ia true of shipment from Atlantic ports. Should America liecomo free exporterwomay look for depression in thu foreign nuikot, which is not likely to be thu case with continuance of low price. Pro ducers seem inclined to bold a they always do when pricts aro below their ideas. All tilings considered tho Liverpool market livid up well. Much depends upon touuagowith us, and tonnage cannot be expected to drop materially In its demands for tin ee mouths to come, ao thoso who proposo to hold must do so with uu understanding of the chances they take. Siuco we wrote tho reply to "Seller," pub- lishod elsewhere, wo ha u heard of four or live vessel on thu way to this coast, not Ixtforo known, several of which left Valparaiso in tjcptemlwr, and will be due lu San Francisco lu another week. It ia reasonable to believe that tonnage will be plentiful on the coast Imi fore tho season i over. It will bo seen that while foreign quotations Lave lluctuated considerably they havo held ateadlly for a week post and show one shilling quarter advance in that time, and this steadi ness of advance is a favorable symptom, is it howi the feeling ia not spasmodic but earliest.

A Professor Sheldon, of an Knglish agricul tural college, has been making a tour of tho Northwest in thu interest of tho Dominion Government.

At the last session of Congress there was appropriated the sum of $.1,000 for develop ment of the arid legions of tho United .States. These regions llo generally between tho IV cilie coast and the one hundredth degree of west longitude, and aro constituted orjnado up of the territory having nn average rainfall too small to support'profitablo cultivation of thu soil without artificial irrigation. Aa we aru informed, tho law making such appropria tion tloes not provide any machinery or medium through which the money shall be ex pended, or jioint out any way for what special purposes it shall be devoted. Con gressman Horace Davis, at whoso special in stance it was appropriated, suggested in his address before our .Stato Agricultural Society thu propriety of oll'ering priiea by the Stato Hoard of Agriculture of California for ctaay upon those region. The essays set forth their soils and climates, means of irrigation, mode of reclamation, etc. Since quite a largo section of the southern part of our State come properly within the arid regions, for tin development of which this money is ap propriated, tho suggestion seems to lie a very appropriate and proper one. Congress did not intend to go iuto remote sections of the country lioyoud the settlement of civilized Iieople to expend the money, or any money, ut to have it expended where it immediate good will be felt. Au investigation of tho great question of irrigating the San Joatiuiti valley would lie a ligitimate subject for in quiry in connection with the preservation of our navigable river from destruction from the overllow of debris from the mine. The noxt Congress should drect the expenditure of the appropriation. Hauled Off. The Walla Walla Union aayst Recently some parties have been helping themselves to wheat which was piled, after harvest, in the held where tlirtvslied aud sacked. Oue man mined lm sacks and several others have miss ed more or leu. If wheat wa worth a dollar' a bushel it would lie worth while to appropriate it, but it is mighty small bnsiueaa to be hook ing thirty ceut wheat. The party who did tut booking is kuowo. A Wonderful Country. A correspondent of tho Northwest Tribune, writing from Hangman's creek, Siiokan coun ty, saya that theru aro 17 townships lying east of the railroad and south of Cheney, einbrac issif an area of nearly 100.000 acres. There is not. iu this county that amount of laud lying in n body that contains as many acres of wheat producing laud as the district iust dcjcribed. and it would not lie an cxagcratcd statement to say that this disttict is capable of produc ins .1.000.000 bushels of w heat nnnuall v. Al lowing that .r.O per cent, of theso lands nro applied to thu production of wheat, yielding twenty-live biiihcl per acre, it would amount to that quantity.
