WHAT THE HERALD HAYS.
The Herald says Moulton declined to
reveal to the o Jiumiltee all the fuots iu
his piiHStssiou, and it is uot probable they
will ba made public before any other
thau a Court of Justice. It is doubtful
if any others will be published tbuu those
already quoted from the Tribune, and in
fers troui ihe pie appearance of the
committee that Moultuu <i testimony was
favorable to Boecboi*. The committee
will meet again to-uight.
WHAT MOULTON WROTE.
Tho Brooklyn Ary us says the state
ment submitted by Moulton covers more
thau twice iho number of pageH of inauu-
scr-pt used by Mr. Tilton m his sworn
statement. Moulton rests bis case almost
entirely on documentary evideuce, which
has been voluntarily placed in hie p m-
He-siou by Beecber, Tilton, Mrs. Tdiou,
Mr-*. Moikh, Mrs. Tilton’s mother aud
other pern ms. Moulton declares with
repented and earnest assurances that-be
pas preserved his friendly rein ions with
all parties to Ibe o.-tse during tbe long pe
riod covered by documents in bis pos
session, and that ho has sincerely do-ired
to effect a rcconciiintio i beta eon Tilton
and Beecher. Wheu tho attacks on Tilton
were m <de public by Beecher’s friends,
Moul'on felt compelled to come to tbe
support of Tilton, and approved of tbe
cou se taken by Til'ou iu self-defence.
Moulton finds it nee»-ssary to recur to the
bt-g nuiug of tho controversy. Tbe whole
difficulty, he states, originated in differ
ences between Henry C. Bowen aud Til
ton. lie gives the history of Tilton’*
serious oomplica’i ms wita Bo*on, and
step by stop traces the progress of the
breach between them, leadiug np to the
final complications between l'iiton and
Beecher, out of whioh grew the tri-party
complications Moulton makes incidental
alluvium* to some of tbe most * important
interviews mentioned by Frank B. Oar<
that they have lauded at Genoa, as the

London, August 12.—The Mark Lane
Express, iu its review of the breadstuff
market, haa the following in regard to the
wheat crop: We are now in the middle
of the harvest, and new wheat shows
nothing to indicate more than the average
quality and growth, though Home of
shows more thau an average ripeness,
Borne of our cotemporanea say the crop
will be two-thirda above tbe average
others one-third and others about an av
erage, while some think it below the
avenge.
An immense amount of wheat is yet
unharvested, stul an increase of rain
Would be serious.
There is great diversity of opinion
about crops in Franee and Belgium.
Closing ita review, the Ex/tress nays:
We do not Hen how the prices of wheat
Cdo be much depressed." #
