The problem, therefore, resolves itself into one of comparative expense. We have the wheat to spare and Europe wants It. The price at which we shall be compelled to sell it will depend on how cheaply ltussia and India can supply the European demand.

After this McSmith lay in concealment for several mornings and saw Bool- ware try the safe combination but fail. The night combination was then on. McSmith has reason to believe - that Boulware knows the day combination. having; seen it repeated hundreds of times, and had the day combination been on at the time these watches were made, Boul ware-would have been caught with his . hands in theaafe; To work the case up thoroughly McSmith imported a detective, who j spent four weeks here and who had worked him self : Into the confidence of Boulware and five other thieves and wis acquaint ing himself with all their 'operations, when they discovered his identity, and be gave up the job. . The case was then given to detective Farriagton, who would bare brought it to a speedy ter mination but for the unexpected torn yesterdsy. Mr Farringtoni shadowed Boulware and saw him send two boxes to the depot for shipment One was marked to Mrs Margaret Boulware. Blackstocx. S C, and the other toMT Boulware, at the same place.Mr Far rington conferred wUh we nuiroaa authorities, who granted - him permis sion to examine the boxes, which he did lsst Wednesday night : The first ' con tained about 50 pounds of j bacon, one canvassed1 ham,- 40 pounds coffee, SO pounds sugar, a lot of flour,! box cigars, soap and a dozen twists of tobacco, stamped with a peculiar tag. The second box contained about the same bill of goods, but In addition there were two ladies 'dresses. The detective hunt ed about town, but was unable to find anybody who missed any of these goods. At Schiff & Grier'a, however,; ; he found a cine. They identified the tobacco as theirs by the peculiar tag. no other house la town selling that particular brand. The detective enjoined the firm to keep quiet, and f let : him .work the ease, which they promised' to do, and Mr Farrtagton was setting the trip to bag not only Boulware, but several other negroes, and capture wagon loads of stolen plunder, when the anxiety of the firm to have Boulware captured, broke cp his plans, and ended in the escape of ' Boulware. - Mr Farrington was ous in we country bunting a ne gro when bis esse was taken from" him, and on arriving in the city and learning of the arrest, ha exclaimed well, its aU lost" . , . ; Boulware ? has ; .no donbt made good his escape by this time, and his conf ed rates in I crime have, been warned In time to get out of the way. i The unfor- tnnate 1 denoument Is to be regretted.' Mr. t McSmith Is confident that he would have fastened the theft of the 6800 on Boulware and a gang of thieves might uave ueeu captured. ..-: Rali vlk :' riuaii fn.l(.
