THE CROPS IN THE MIDDLE STATES.---A private
letter from a Northampton man, who is travelling in Penn-
sylvania and western New York, makes the follow-
ing statement : —The wheat crop in Pennsylvania is
the largest known for six years. Farmers have just
commenced harvest:ng it, and the most splendid sights
1 ever saw aro the wheat fields of this State. Many of
the farmers hero who were offered 2 dollars 50 cents per
bushel for their crop last year "held it for a rise," and
now it is a drug on the market at $1.25. Add to this the
bountiful crop now being cut, and New England may ex-
pect to buy fluurfor $5 per bushel. The same is true of
the wheat crop in western New York. Fruits of all kinds
aro also abundant. Last week I saw in one town 35 mar-
ket waggons, loaded with cherries, strawberries, rasp-
berries, ttc., on sale.
