Tee CORN CROP IN THE UNITED STATER—IN corn
the crop in the New England States is fair, both in quan-
tity and quality, being best in Massachusetts and poorest in
Maine. The Western States have nearly all suffered
slightly, but nose so badly as New York, whine the crop
will fall between one-half and two-thirds below the average
in quantity, with the quality poor. Is Canada and Nova
Scotia the quality cud quality range within one-eighth of
an avenge. Os the whole, the con( crop, which is one of
the chief staples is our country, will afford us more than
'sough for home consumption, with a liberal margin for
exportation. The deficiency will sot enhance prices to any
considerable extent, and the prospects, as compared with
the antioipatione a few mottle Amos, are sweinently antis.
