Almost tlio entire eastern press bcguis to have serious views of the commercial nnd financial prospects of the country , in view of the almost virtual cessation of the demand abroad for our grain , especially for our wheat. When it is understood that our wheat crop moro than doubled between 1803 and 1870 , nnd the export increased from about twenty million bnahuls in 1808 to 150,500,000 bushels in 1870 , the rapidly growing importation of the crop to the country will bo at once perceived. Since the war wo have become - como the great raw-material export coun try of the world , while since tlio return to opccio payments our exports have enor mously increased ns compared ith our imports. This is an indication that they are n necessity to our commercial nnd financial status , individually mid collectively - ivoly , ns a people and a nation. But whun a largo proportion of these xports fall in value to the extent that nt east 15 par cunt must bo struck from its nnrkot price , the fact presents n moat crious aspect , not only to its individual , nd corporate interests , but to the ountry as n whole. As tlio Now York Times said in a late jommcrcjal article , | 'dollar wheat" has icon until this year in Chicago regarded 13 a safe purchase ; the market price was considered to have reached hard-pan at hat figure , while n decline below it was olerably auro to start enough buying to .end it up again. But , on the other innd.it is no\v \ well Known in thia city hat grain men believe the dollar-mark nust bo aoanduncd for n figure from 15 o 20 cents bolnw it say a standard of ! 5 cents. This would nccoaitato that inkers' advances should bo reduced to ' 0 or 75 cents to bo perfectly safo. In deed , soiiio of the largest banking houses engaged in making advances on grain invo of late become quito conservative on .ho subject , and well they may , with at east ono leading grain bank ollicor hold- ng to the belief that wheat may touch a joint at least 10 cents below its present inure , in order that it may again furnish sterling exchange to moot our import ne cessities , Interest duo abroad , and cost of ocean freights. Some of the Now York journals nro inclined to look upon the dilliculty na re spects thu present failure to export upon previous scales of magnitude , to insuf ficient information us to thu rapid growth of wheat production from 1879 to 1883 other parts of tlio world than the United States ; that for the want of thia knowl edge speculation in wheat for the past six months has been demo on n wrong basin ; that it was carried on upon the old "dollar wheat" idea , and that it coa tinuod until the persistent refusal f _ the Liverpool market to take wheat at prices based on that standard , and then thai the accumulation of grain in the Chicago warehouses resulted iu the late severe fall in prices. But wheat having BO greatly declined , from whatever cause , the next serious question for our commercial and fman cial men is , whist ollect will this fall have upon our industries cenorally ? The an swer to this natinlly is that as the whole machinery of raising and carrying wheat and other grains rests upon thu basis of their export price , this macninery muot bear its share of the general decline. The farmers , the railroad companies , and the shipping munt consent to carry this grain at lower figure ? . It is all very well to say that the time will como when wo will consume our own grain. Even then we could not not keep its price above the level of the world's values. But that time ia a long w.iy oil' ; and in the mean time every iniKibtiial interest must ba prtMJ'tred to \ > A < H through ( iHimilartranaa- tiou stata of from luuhur to lower prices , Miinlar to that tluough which tlio grain trade ia now so ptitiiiu'ly struggling.

Even in our own plentiful land n man should hesitate long before ho cuts down n trco or grove. With n good nx ho may destroy in a day what nothing but tlnd nnd ngcs of time can replace. The whole neighbor hood may bo made the poorer by his work , but perhaps they will never know it.

French , for 8110- )00. When Colonel French , from whom the honao derived itn name , died , in August , 1872 , ho valued the property at ? 1UOO,000 , and left it tu Ina wife and nine children as n competence for their lives , The six boys operated the business during the tint year after the old gentle man'n death , in thu interest of the estate , and it was then loasud for five years to J. F. Morrison , who had been conducted with the hotel oinco ho was n boy in cop per-too shoes. All of the brothers , ox- eept diehard , were connected with the business ngain from 1873 until 187&nt the expiration of which time a < i years' IOHBO of the establishment was given to thu man who bought it. Two years ago the then lessee wanted to renew liia lunso , and pay _ $18,000 a year rent , but the re maining heirs wanted § 25,0 00. They were oifercd thia sum by n disinterested party , but could not accept of it , as the proprietor , who was an executor of I ho ojtato , would not consent. Since that time the building has boon gradually go ing to decay , and is now a total wreck , and the habitation only of bats nnd ruts. On the ground ttoor , where the glitter of splendor once reigned , bootblacks , ven ders and newsboys now oat bean a and cold ham , nnd drink cofFee nnd toa.

It wnc built 5n 1849 by William Simson , the ubiquitous pawnbroker , especially for Colonel French , who was then n youny man , nnd it noon became familiar for its good cheer nnd comfortable accommoda tions. Tlio gold fever was at its height at this period , and with ovury Pacific steamer n hundred nnd more adventurers return ing from the glittering nugget field would bring their bags of gold dust ant nneluivon faces to French'o , remaining for several weeks nnd spending then money freely. Itinerant minstrels woult drop 111 ovury now nnd then , and every old resident remembers how heat at the jokes. During the war the hotel wns the abiding place of generals , spies nnd politicians. Oil ono occasion a man gave vent to robe sentiments , and was almost killed by pa triotic Louis Burrill , who is recorded ii history as captain of Company A , of Col. Bakor'n troopa , and who cut into four pieces the man who alow his commander While ttio draft riots were in program , it was feared that tlie hotel would bo de stroyed , as Colonel French , who hud for mcrly been a democrat , hud voted for Abraham Lincoln In 1HGS the Colonel had aivcd money enoiiuh Ibuy > thu hotttl for himself an l thun laid out $100.000 iu suiiljiu | [ [ it with running wiiu-r in t ivory room , ele- v.'Unin and other modern conveniences Wlulu undergoing UU-HU alterations , i ' vraa cluaed for the lirat time iu nix months.
