REVIVING BUSINESS.
Within a few days.says the Philadel
phia Ledger, of the 21st Inst., wheat
lias advanced about 'twenty cents a
bushel and. Hour eighty cents a barrel,
owing to the augmonted foreign de
mand for American breadstuffs a de
mand that we would rather seo brought
about from some other causes than tbe
misfortunes of the people on the other
side of tho Atlantic, as happens in this
instance. Inundations In France, En
gland nnd Hungary havo caused con
siderable crop losses, but they are not
tho severest misfortunes that shorten
tho foreign breadstuff supply. Unfavor
able weather has prevailed over tho
best graln-beatlng suctions of tho con
tlnent of Europe Just at tho critical
period of gathering the crops, and the
gloomy details have been coming to us
by telegraph and mall. Rains havo
drenched the already over-wet fields lu
somo sections, while drought has parch
ed them In others. For a month past,
throughout Europe, tho fears ot a short
crop ot wheat have been accumulating,
until now the necessity for preparing
to meet the deficit lias given a sudden
Impulse of activity to the grain and
shiunlne Interests of tlio United States.
it to Happened mat mis country is now
In good condition to nialto up European
losses. Before tho present -american
wheat crop was harvested, our granaries,
contalue.1 a large reverse ot last year's
crop inucli larger man usual, ior prices
has been low and the demand poor, so
that there l.ad been uu inducement to
sell. Under the stimulus of Increasing
prices this reserve Is coming forward in
largo amounts for shipment abroad for
as yet but little of this year's crop has
found Its way to market, except from
California, where the harvest Is earlier
than In tho wheat-growing States on
the Atlantic slopes of tho continent.
Although the new crop lu California
lias declined about ten per cent.
quality, yet elsewhere In tho United
States tlio new crop promises to be
cood one, as larce, If not larger, than
last year's. Wo are therefore able, with
now wheat and old, to send to Europo
all that may tie wanted there without
seriously Inconveniencing ourselves, and
In a very tew weeks the question, will
uu settled wliemer the European
wheat crop Is to be a very little or a
great deal below the average, and also
whether the demand for American
breadstuffs abroad Is to contluue brisk
dm lug the balance ot the year.
Advancing prices fox food supplies
aro generally nut very welcome, condi
tions even as preparatoty to a revival
of trade, out in tlio present commercial
condition ot the Untied StaU-s they
bring some compensating advantages.
Large numbers ot American farmer)
have bad two or three poor seasons,
some ot them short crops, and all ot
them low prices, and they have had as
much as tbey could do to provide ne
cessatles, witli scarcely any surplus
money to spend for Improtements or
tor manufacturing goods. Hence the
demand for goods lo many country die
trlcts, (owns and villages has fallen off,
and tl.ls, witli the depreMion tivory
whero, 1ms prevented any .activity in
general trade. Stagnation lias been thu
rule, anil anything that will stir up
commercial llfo will, wo think, bo wel
comed by tho community, even though
it begins with advancing prices. Tho
fanner sells his surplus wheat for cash,
and thu more money ho ccts for it tlm
more goods ho can afford to, buy. If to
this is added a targe corn crop, of which
thcro Is now every prospect, then tlm
agricultural meadro of happiness will
bo full, nnd wo may hopo In a Bliort
tlnio to seo trade moving with some ac
tivity, for tho moment tho tanners, who
aro by far the most numerous class, be
gin buying, then the demand for gootU
spring up, manufacturing and mechan
ical work oocoKies active, and emplo)
inent gets brisk In all branches. Tlio
Immediate beginning nf activity may
come through tills foreign demand for
American breadituffs, and the trans
portation facilities which will conse
quently bo required will add to tho ac
tivity. The tnllways with their army
of employes will bo benefitted, and, lu
fact, they aro already feeling tho Im
pulse in the transportation ot thousands
of car loads of wheatkfrom the West to
the seaboard under tho stimulus of the
recent foreign demand. To carry wheat
and Hour across tho ocean Itllo ships
have been called Into requisition, anil
thero Is not only giving employment at
this time to every vessel suitable for tho
trade, but the demand Is In excess of
the supply, and tho merchant's heart is
onco more gladdened by Increasing
freight rates. Once started, tho stimu
lus oxtenJs through every branch ot tho
foreign trade, so that thoro Is now au
Increased demand for vessels at advan
cing freights, not only for breadstuffs,
but also for petrolum, cotton und pretty
much overy kind ot American produce
carried across the ocean. So much ot
promise for tho general business of tho
United States depends upon this re
vival of the breadstuffs and shipping
trades, that wo give It prominence, be
lieving that the advancing prices will
be moro Mian compensated by tho Im
pulse given to general employment aud
to all branches of business.
