HOW ABOUT COUNT IMPORTANT FIGURES FOR HOLDERS. Iroquois" writes to the Chicago Tribune a statement of facts and estimates which do not rest on bis authority, good as that is adone. It will pay farmers and corn dealers to give it full fifteen minuta of careful tudy. He says: In my communication; in July and 'August last, I stated that the corn crop ot 1873 must inevitably be short On general principles, and strongly advised far mers to bold on to their corn. I said "every cent per Dcsnel advance in corn meant a million of dollars for Illinois." I predicted Chat the receipts in Chicago would be 23 per cent less for 1873 than those of 1872, though many expected at least 25 per cent increase. Mv guess was within two millions of bushels. When corn was selling at 25 cents in the country. I predicted 50 cents before New Year's. The paniccame near upsetting that, though it aid come true. When corn ras selling at So cents in Chicago. i pre dicted 80 cents per bushel for the summer of 1874. It seemed to me that every farmer ought to have known mat a poor crop must naturally follow such a soring,- and it did not need a prophet, to tell that; but as to the 80 cents per bushel next summer, this reo aires different figuring to show, and propof tr this article to give my reasons, of a part Cf tnem iortnat opinion, n War th tie old stock is practically inextifcW t nd In resume that many believe now tfca the majority of fanners have two or tLe crops on hand. On the imUrwrv J think the amount on hand is very small comparatively. And I am fully persuaded that at this time, but few realize Xhe magnitude of the shortage of last year's

prop. ft s generally conceded that the crop 1873 W nly about half that of 1S72. which was estimated at about 100,000,000 bushels for the United States, which would make a shortage of 400,000,000 or 500,000.000. It is 'claimed to offset this, that the open winter and the reduction oi stock would reduce the consumption, and the amount so saved wou'd help to bridge over. I presume soch would be the case, but it will be found that the extent of such reduction will not be a? great as expected, and there will be enough cattle and bogs feed this season to furnish enough meat next winter to go around very welLand before another crop grows,corn will be scarce on a large majority of farms ia the northwest. As to the demand both in our own country and abroad there is no question, though the exports are bat a drop in the bucket in comparison with the crop. The total exports of corn to all parts of the world was less than four per cent. of the crop of 1S72, and the average aunnal exports for ten years did not exceed lO.O'W.OOO Dushels, whito the entire exports for the last thirty years would not amount to one-half of the estimated shortage of the last crop alone; hence I conclude that if the amount of corn was evenly distributed throughout ourcountry, as needed, the necessity would appear ot strict economy in its consumption. There is no doubt in mv mind but that every bushel is needed at home; that we have no surplus for export. To judge of the future by the past (which is reasonable), let us look over THB LAST TEX YBARA, i though first let me say. in order to show how a small shortage will aflect values, that the receipts of barley in 1873 were only one million bushels less than 1872, and yet, as the result of that slight shortage, prices have appreciated more than one hundred and fifty per cent. Hence, three-fourths as much grain may bring double the amount of money, and it is not true that, because the amount of corn Is reduced one-half, the price will only be doubled. Ye: I beard a Chicago dealer use that same argument, as though there was a law fixing the aggregate value of the crop; but I will proceed to figures: The crop of 1SG3 is estimated at about the same amount as that of 1873; and corn sold at $1 30 per bushel in Chicago in 1SG1 as the result of that short crop. In 1S65 and 1SGG the crops were good, and prices ranged above 70c at one lime of the ye,ar. (Now, I quote from the last board of trade ieport.) In May, 1867, corn sold at ?1 09, and in October at $1 12. In October, 18, at- .. fl 12 In August, lstw, at .... SI In May, 1X70, at..... 87 In March, 171, at. ..... . 4 . Now, here is a range of seven years in succession, from 1864 to 1870, inclusive, and the highest prices of each year ranged from $1.0

to 87Ji cents three years out oi me seveu, prices ranging above $1 per bushel, hd the other four ranging from 1 cents to ?1 per bushel. Ilence 80 cents, the point to which I predict the market will reach, is really below the average of the highest prices for ten years past, including the three wonderful crop-years of 1870,-1871,- and 4872. Now, ia this a crerj estimate to count on 80 cents? The tfuth is, that those years were remarkably prolific, and prices have ruled ruinously low for the pro ducer, and we have become so habituated o ,20-ceut corn In the country, that 50 sents per bushel seems fabulous, i quote from a former letter: "Farmers . . . II J- 1 A cannot produce corn prontaDiy at jess iuu ftrty cents per bnshel at their home market in an average season, and, as a class, corn farmers are worse ofT to-day than they were inIS38T They havemada no money since then. Now,' what. are the pospects for 1871?. - Let us look back again. iThe winterof 1S5U was similar to this, open and warm, spring cold " and stormy,' treats in May and June, and J In July- the corn was killed to the ground.-The winter of IM and 7 was oren and warm: soring cold and 'wit. The crop of '63 wa3 f xcsUeut but there lolloweu another open winter and late, wet spring, and poor crops in 'CO. Experience proves that in a bad season the crop is always overestimated. Good thinkera among fanners agree with me, that I j it V retires ' fully ' . one-third c f - a good crop to feed work-stock and home cattle; none of which goes to make meat fot market, and this thought, together with the large amount consumed for fattening purposes, corresponds with my actual observations, to prove that the amount of old corn can not be large. The situation is poculiar. There never was so large a portion of the old stock in the hands of mldlemen as at present; consequently nearly all the old stock of corn is "visible" on the lines of transportation, and in most places the 6tocks are largely overestimated. I consider it certain that: m the receipts in Chicago of corn, for 1874 will not; exceed, u00.Dalf those ,ol 73; (2) w must draw on -the rreseat ' Stocka for eight or nine months before the new crop can be avaHable j and (3) it ia uncertain . what the coming season will be. and farmers should ponder these things well Deiore tney sen their supplies, ::. ' ' .'. BARLET AND MALT. The New York Bulletin, March 26, gives the following: The scarcity and dearness ot barley, continue to exert, as might be expected an unfavorable influence on the brewing Interest. An enort was maae re cently to move up the price of ale, so as to keep pace with the advance oi tne "raw ma terial;" but It was not successful, and the market has now about settled back to previous quotations. We showed in the Bulletin a few days since that we were drawing supplies of barley not only from California, but from Hungary and fccandinavia as wen. The total importations into the United States for the month ending Tiaren n were as ioilows: Bushel's Barley from London. Liverpool, Bristol and Glasgow ; also from Bremen, ' Havre and Hamburg...-....... 406,321 Barley malt from London and Liverpool m 8?82 nrand total for four weeks. 4S3.203 With reference to the present and future condition of the barley and malt interest, the Gazette says: "We are assured on the best authority that the first of April, 1874, will find a larger stock of barley on band than did the first of April, 1873. .As there sre yet two good months for malting, it is to be hoped the trade will recover the check it has received from the high prices that have ruled the last fire months. The brewing business at this time is not in the most prosperous condition, but this is not attributable alone to high priced barley." The Gazette does not say so, but leaves it to be inferred rather that the temperance excitement, prevalent more or lees all over tha country, is . leading to a marked curtailment of consumption. j , .. i , . - TEXAS BUTCHERY. " 7 . ;? A letter from Fulton, Texas, in the Baltimore American gives some details about the slaughtering of cattle in that place. - During the winter months 37,536 beeves were slaughtered, but only 7,749 of this number wre packed and shipped north. Thus some 30.000 head were killed for their hides and tallow alone. The amount of tallow shipped was 2,484 hhds and 1,05J tcs, weighing 3.049,200 lbs. The hides were salted, and the bones and animal refuse from the rendering vats were soLi, and are now being ground at the rate of 16 tons daily at the mill of Messrs. Charles Holden & Co., ana snipped to I'hlladeiphia in heavy canvas bags. It smells as strong or ammonia as tue vemaDie x'eruvian guano. CORN TRADE OF EUROPE. . The Mark .Lane Express of March 9th, reviews the week thus: For the commence ment of March f he past week has been una sually mild, and therefore somewhat suspi cious as to its close- No signs, however, of any damaee done to the growing crops have yet been reported here, or ia any part of

Europe; and, frith the season so advanced, many think them out of harm's way. This at any rate seems to have been the sentiment in London, where almost a panic has lately roled, as though we had received our needful complement, and matters as to supplies were settled. At one time there were some bolders ready to concede a reduction of 3s. ; but the dullness then ruling kept them from the sacrifice, and, though heaviness is still the rule, there has been a check to the downward course of prices. It appears that the country in many places demurred to the sudden decline, and some have even noted more firmness; but as a matter ot trade, prices soon find their level, and so we really are cheaper Is. to 2. for the week. But the Niagara fall, at New York, has diminished its speed, and rather better prices have since ruled in that quarter; and, 11 Paris shows a gradual decline of 1 franc ia flour, French farmers will not submit to any further reduction. The decline, too,-seems to have reached its height in the Provinces, and the German markets shape their course mostly on the unaltered scale, heedless of the freaks of their nervous neighbors. Belgium has rather followed France aud ou reel yes. and Holland has again been dull; but in Hungary supplies keep so small, and farmers' stocks seem getting so low, that millers have again had to pay something over former rates, though on the grounds the crops are as promising as possible. The business at Odessa has been cut down by small arrivals, and-the lower rates of the United States; but the small stocks of fine quality have kept prices too high lor profitable export. We may, Indeed, have an early equable spring, and ä summer to equal it, but it appears to us that the stocks of old wheat throughout the world are too low to be seriously affected in value by one early and bountiful gathering. Still, so long as they remain above a consumptive range in any port, we must be liable to fluctuations from change ol view on the part of Holders. GENERAL MAKKET REVIEW.

Mr.' Enoch Worman ywa-ntlv cVM f m New York Dartv his fine trottlnc frohUntr "Brown George, " better known as the uinuer nurse, -rice. MOO. Conductor John Rrownins- has sold hU in. terein the Joe Downing jreldinj, recently brought from Kentuckv. He is now owned by Messrs. llereth and Richardson. Mr. Richardaon hat sold hist fin a WarV. Blue Bull mare, "llushville Maid," for 500 lur, uson, 01 itusnvuie, beintr tlie Dlircbaser. he intends to nnt hpr in traininrr for the June races, at Cambridge city. . r . ...... . air. vireen, . tue ligutning-roa man, has concluded to breed his vry fast mare Lady Green to Hambletonlan Eclipse. This mare is perhaps the fastest mare in this city, and her produce lrom this stallion w ill be very valuable. There is a Mr. Smith in the city makine arrangements to open an extensive training stable at the exposition track. Mr. S. comes with goon recommendations aa to his qualifications for a professor in the art of teaching young trotters how to step. During the past week most all the horse men in the city paid a visit to the stable of Dr. Kinsler, to take a look at the fine stat ion "Hambletonlan Eclipse." All invari ably could be heard sounding his praises and lauding his many excellencies. In another week the exposition track will be In fine order, and most of the trainers in ox to take horses under their care. Then if our citizens will rise early and make a trip to the track they can see the equines in their morning sport, evidently enjoying the work more than tne spectators. The citizens' purse did not fill, there being but four entries, but these are likel v to trot for the purse on the 13th of May. "the asso ciation offering the purse are holding it under advisement whether to give or not to the four horses entered, it is to be hoped they will, because the horses are the best in the city, and very equally matched. So it would make a very interesting and excuing race. KLSKWRERK. Lasalle County Agriculture Society of Illi nois will give $7,000 in purses at the June races. Besides this, the proprietor of the) Cliftou House will offer an extra purse. Oakland, Cal., has 1 trottlcg meeting at its park on April 1, 2 3, and 7. St. James, a fast horse, wellknowu to many of our horsemen, Is handicapped to wagon in the free for all purse. On May 6th Mr. L. L. Dorsey, of Eden farm, near Louisville, Kentucky, will sell at auction hia entire stock of Golddust horses,. including many of the best representatives of this family, also brood mares and colts of all descriptions. ; Chicago will give a grand trotting meeting: the coming season, beginning July 21st, and continuing one week. The program is cot yet arranged, but will undoubtedly be a suitable one for Dexter Park, of the great city of Chicago, The Rev. William H. H. Murray has sold a six year old bay mare, 15 hands high. to Mr. A. 8. Washburne, or rsew jersey. ne can trot low down in the thirties, and was bred and raised by Mr. Murray on his stud farm at Guillord, Conn. Mr. August Belmont, the wealthy banker of New York city, has matched his coltf Grey Planet, to run one mile, in 1:43), during the Saratoga racing meeting the coming; season, the colt to carry 110 pounds, foe f 1,000 a side, play or pay; Mr. W. H. Humphrey is out with a challenge to match his horse, Judge Fullerton, against any horse in the world, except Gold smith Maid, for f 10,000 a side, mile heats,, three best in five, to trot over the Fleetwood track, near New York city. If Gov. Sanford's horse. Occident, comes east this Bummer, Follertoa may get beat.
