THE AMERICAN HARVE‘T.—The crop of wheat in
the United States bids fair to be one of the largest ever grown
there. The price, which had risen. is fallen rapidly. This la the
case all over the Union : the papers front every State concur In
regard to the productiveness of the crop.
Wo understand that the sums claimed by the British
merchants at Smyrna' as esntpemation for their losses by the con-
fiscation of property by the Turks. aliments to nearly 100,0001.

The crop of apples this year will equal, and perhaps
emceed, any thing within the last thirty years. In all the orchards
around and below Taunton, tie. the branches are so leaded as to
require propping. The crop of walnuts is also prodigiously great.

LIVERPOOL, JULY 24.—We have had a dull week in
the cotton marker, yet we notice little or no variation in prices from
our last quotations. The public sales to-day, consisting of 2 100
Sea Island and Stained, 790 Demerara, 380 Cumana. 170 Barba-
does. and 500 Bengal, were pretty well attended, and the greater
part wont off steadily, except the Barbadoes and Bengal, which
were taken in ; 300 Brasil and 500 American are taken for capon.
Our accounts from Barnsley still represent the trade
of that district in the most depressed state. The number seem-
ployed continues undiminished, and the poor people bear their pro-
tracted sufferings with exemplary patience. Lord FUswilliam
still ce,tinues his contribution of 251. per week. Lord Wbuts-
cline also remitted 201. to the weavers committee last week.—
Leeds Mercury.
A Huddersfield correspondent writes no follows :
There is no improvement in trade in Huddersfield, Holmiirth,
Heckatondwike, and hlirfield. The mater manufacturers com-
plain that they cannot sell goods unless they sacribee in many in-
stances dude profits, and in others part bf their capital ; and the
workingelasees complain: that they cannot obtain half employe cent.
and even for the little they have, their wages are ruinously
Lodi Mercury.
A correspondent whq travels through the West Riding
of Torkshire, says—" The hay harvest is rapidly drawing to a
close, under favourable auspices ; and though there ha been a great
variety of weather. the crop has been on the whole well gathered.
Cora of every description looks well ; even oats, which a few weeks
ago were almost despaired of, have recovered amazingly. Nothing
but hot weather is wanting to insure to us an abundant harvest.
Potatoes never looked better, and the early sown turnips are in a
thriving condition.—Lexis Mercury.
No mn.n can deny that the depression of trade is such
u was never esperienced at any former period. Notwithstanding
great reductions nemeses during the three last months of last year,
our manufacturers found when their spring goods were produced,
that deg./selling price was almost always below the cost price ; and
when they Nether reduced wages, in the vain hope of being able
to meet the diminution in the price of goods, by a diminution In
the cost of production, the POW thing still occurred, for there
were always parsons whom the exigences of the times forced into
the market to sell at any price they could obtain, and the enose-
Tome has been the total destruction of the manutacturers' profits ;
while the working classes. upon whose means of subsistence all
these reductions made dreadful inroads, are ground down to the
very earth ; and the numerous and deserving dais of shopkeepers.
amongst whom their earnings are expended, are rapidly becoming
equally deititute.—Yenciesier Times.
