The price of corn in this country is governed entirely by the quantity produr-e.i i.r.l the consumption, the quantity exported being so small in proportion to the enormous amount raised that it exercises no influence on the p ice. The immense crop of 1S77, the Wgest tnon ever raised in the country, having been 1.342,000, 000 bushels, was valued at $? 180.(543, 000 : the crop of 1878 exceeded that, but the overproduction brought the price much lower, and the crop, which was 1.371.000.000 bushels, is only valued at 2430,800,000. WliEAT. The average price of wheat for the year 1873 was Sl.04 per bushel ; for the year 1877, stimulated by war in Europe, the increased crop was worth $1.08 ; but for the year 1878, with an increase of upwards of 50,000,000 bushels, the price had fallen to 78 ceuts per baebel on December 1, 1878. The crop of 1S78, which amounts to 422,000.000 bushels, is worth only 3329,000,000 : wlule the crop of 1877, which was 33.3,000.000 bushels was, worth $334,000,000. In the case of wheat the price is greatly influenced by the European demand. For the year ending June SO, 1873, it was found that we ex ported 92,000.030 bushels of wheat (flour included), about 25 per cent of our whole crop. COTTOS. In giving the prices of the cotton crop, we are guidad by tLe prices re ceived by the planter, which have ruled excessively low this winter, the average for the whole country beirg about I cents per pound. The great value of this crop is founded on the deman d for export Prior to the war, in 1859 and 1SG0, the amount im ported int Great Britain from the United States was f jur-fifths of their wbrl3 importation ; during the war it fell off to less tlsan 2 per cent Starting in 18GG at 37 per cent, we find that in 1878 we Lad regained the position we held prior to 18ol, and that four-fifths of t'ie cotton used and manufactured in Great Britain came from the United States. tobacco. The price of tobacco is reported as very low this year, being, for the whole country, an average of 5.6 cts. jr rGund ou December 1. lS7c. This price is mainly the result of an overstock of poor tobacco last year. Vte have uo accurate data of the yield per acre or prolact of 1877. The total amount exported and manufac tured was a little abovo 4G3.000,0'JO pounds. Allowing 6 per cent for that nsed at home and that which cva-ied the tax, we have a crop for 1877 of about 490,000.000 pounds. The acreage for 1S78 wm 76 per cent of 1S77. The quality of to bacco produced was generally better and heavier, mr.king tae yield per acre rather more than that of the pre vious yerr, exoept in Kentucky, where it fell off slightly. "We estimate the total crop of 1878 at 393,000,000 pounds (worth $22, 000,000), against 430,000,000 pounds last year. POTATOES. The price of this article of prime necessity to the people haa not ad vanced yet to the relative proportion that rce bears to production. From returns made in 1878, we find the average price to be 58.8 cents per busheL With a crop almost identical with that of 1876, we have a price much lower per bushel, and a total value of $10,000,000 less than that year. "With a crop nome 46,000,000 bushels less than last year the total value does not equal that of the ex cessive yield of 1877. ITJBSE3. Horses increased abotlt 3 pfcrcent, only two States, Massachusetts and Tennessee, falling below 100. The Atlantic coast Sta?r, from Maryland northward, aliotst hbld their own. The Southern States report a small increase, as also do tho States north of the Ohio river. West of the Mis sissippi and on the Pacific coast the increase is very decided, especially in the newer States and Teriitories. Prices have continued to decline. During the last five years the average price of horses over three years old has fallen off about 3C j-tir cent, in the New England States ; 35 per cent in the Middle States ; 30 per cent, in tRe South Atlantic States ; the Gulf States about 18 pt-r cent. ; Southern inland States 3ti per cent ; the States north of the Ohio river, 21 per cent ; the States west of the Mississippi, 20 per SiLh. ; the Pacific coast SUtes. 10 per cent The rapid movement of population westward, and the consequent 6ett!erout of the vacant areas of tho Western Stites and Territories accounts fr the smaller dociine of values in this re gion. A home market for horses has thus Wen created. Taking the whole country together, the tiecline has averaged about 2 pe cent COWS AND CATTLE. Cows 6how ail increase in nearly all the States.

Oft-tronllO Prices have de- plilir,j ; ftU tho s;tates . jn polne in. stances the decline is considerably over one-third. Cattle are about equal in number to List year. The greatest decline, 10 per cent, was m I buttle Island ; the greatest increase, 23 per cent, in Nebraska. Prices have also declined. SHEET. The number of sheep has bet eased j about 5 per cent. There is a sml decline in the Middle Stitts, but all other sections of the Union show an increase, especially the Gu'J Stites, which have advanced 13 per cf-nt The largest rat, of State increase are 44 per cent in Nebraska, 25 percent in Kansas, and 23 per cent in Min nesota The States showing a de cline are New Hampshire, New Jer sey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Indiana. Illinois, and Iowa, which fall 1 or 2 per cent below last var. Prices show a decline on the whole, but not 60 great as in other kiii'ls of farm an imals. The Pacific States show a positive increase, as also does Penn sylvania. HOGS. The prices for hogs received in January, 1879, are ruinously low. TLe records of this Department since its formation, Lave ntver shown so low a price. Only in a few of the extreme Northeastern States, where thn home consumption exceeds the production, docs the price hold a fair comparison with the price of previons years. The nUniljer, as compared with those returned January, 1878, shows an increai-e of alwut 5 per cent, which is niain'y caused by large increases in States west of the Mis sissippi river, the States of Illinois Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky remain ing nearly the same as last year. WINTER GRAIN. The acreage hi winter wheat shows a slight increase over last year. The New England States, Gulf Stttes, and the States north of the Ohio river report a larger area, especially Elinois, where there is an extensive transfer of this industry from spring to fill sowing. The Middle States, South Atlantic coast States, and Southern inland Stites show a de cline. West of the Mississippi, in spite of a considerable increase in Kansas and Nebraska, the aggregate area has been reduced. On the Pa cific coast Oregon reports a decline of 6 per cent California wheat in the census report, was all returned as spring wheat It is properly winter-sown wheat It would be well to designate as fall wheat is generally called winter wheat eant of the Rocky Mountains. We would Lave then three convenient designations fall. . inter, and spring wheat to indi cate the sowing of each crop. The crop f California is not included in the above e?timate. The conditicn of the growing crop on the 1st of December was not Very promising, eppeciidly for early sow ings. Complaints of bjuries by the Hessian fly iiave been received from different sections of the country. East of the Mississippi and on the Pacific coast early sowings were in tnanv cases enibanr-sseJ by ilrought West of the Mississippi, especially in Missouri and Kansas, early sowings enjoyed the better growing condi tions, and hence are more promising. The area of winter rye has fallen off about 1 per cent on the whole. The Atlantic States, Southern bland States, and the Stat&s north of the Ohio river Lave declined, as have also all the States west of the Mississippi, except Kansas, in which the bcrease nearly counterbalances the net de cline of all tne otner states.

SjUriah Grnn, a cttizeo of Tnrbctt town ship, came to his death on Ifis own firm, near bis place of residence, tn Saturday, under peculiar circumstance.

When the train arrived at a point between the two railroad bridges, about 3 miles west of this place, the watchful tramps espied a Urge party of men await ing their arrival, and so a halt was ordered that they might quit the train, scatter and make their escape. A dispatch from tbe Superintendent bad summoned Mn Cramer, of Patterson, and a posse of railroaders, as well as one to our Division Superintendent, Mr. Hutchinson, asking that the police here be notified to assist in the arrest of the bold fellows, and these, accompanied by the yard hands at the Junction, were stationed at the point acovc mentioned. When the tramps left the train they made their way down the ton path, pursued by Mr. Cramer and his men, while Ganvtt, Clum anil the rest of the police party, came down, board ing an engine, which conveyed them to tho towpath at town, and going up some dis tance found themselves facing nine of the tramps, while Cramer's men came upon them from behind. Without making any stubborn resistance they were arrested, brought to town and lodged in jail. About three o'clock on Saturday morn ing two tramps, who had secured a brace and bit at Gross' blacksmith shop, broke into J. J. Parker's clothing store, on Mar ket street, and took away 4 pairs of pants, 8 sbiils, 2 overcoats and 1 black dresscoat, aggregating from $o0 to $75 in value. They also had a candle, hook and chisel, and probibly other tools. T!;e noise they made was heard by Mr. Johnson's fsmi'y, but hev did not know what was wrong until morning. A clue to their course having been obtained, Garrett and Parker followed them down the Xarrows, and secured one about four miles t! is side of Mifflin, the other escaping after seven bullets bad warn ed him to come to a halt. Two pairs of pants, four shirts, and one overcoat, which the fleeing tramp threw away, were recov ered. The fellow arrested declared if tbey had 1 id a Mirse and wagon they would have carried o3" big lot of goods. Tho party walked to ML'Uin and came op in a train. when the tramp robber was lodged in jail j The tramp gave his name as Charlie Ross, of Germany. wt A protracted n.eeting will be opened, on this, Wednesday, evening in the Lost Creek Presbyterian church at McA'isterville.
