THE PROSPECTS OF THE GRAIN TRADE.
Mr. Ksies4Ackson, in a letter to the Tim:, reviews
the position end presprete of the grain trade here and
throughout Europe and America. He says the agri-
cultural lessen for the year 1673 has this spccial interact
—it shows that tho b,st toy to harvest estimates is a
meteorological one ; that tho result of the amnion Is
according to the et 'rioter or that &mien ; and that the
outward appearances of grain crops are much more
. uncertain guides than the records of temperature an/
I rainfall for-the ;tar. " For the imeiedi:te future (hit
says) the mows a luattriAla to d::0111.11 tillht hare an-
tra:mot influencd on tho coni trade is too large for
