THE WHEAT CROP.
The Philadel phia Price Current. says
Information respecting this important
crop, from various sections of the country.
and on which it is believed, implicit reli-
ance can be placed, gives the following re-
suit: 4~ st -r.....
Middle aud lower sections,
and particularly on the rivers, the crop has
suffered from rust, and it is estimated from
one-fourth to one-third short of a fair ave-
rage. In the upper districts an abundant
crop.
Marylond.----On the eastern shore and
lower counties of the western, the crops
have suffered from rust and mildew, and
prove materially short of an average: but,
in the upper western counties, the crop is
considered very abundant, and we'll secur-
ed.
In Delaware.---In the County of New
Castle, there is fair average crop. In
Kent and Sussex CO.'S not exceeding half a
CROP
Pennsylvanio.-In the eastern sections,
Extending to Blue Ridge,) the crop is, in
general, abundant, and of fine quality. and
with the exception of Northampton Coun-
ty, where it was suffered to remain too long
in the fields we'll secured. In the middle
section. or Susquehannah country, u more
particularly in Mifflin, Centre. and Hunt
ingdon counties, very serious injury has
been sustained by rust, and the crop reduce
ed one-third to one-half. On the west and
north branches, the injury is believed not
be serious.
New Jersey.---In the upper counties Of
New Jersey, the only important wheat dis
trics of that state, the crops in general, APP
pear fair, but not secured without some liz
jury.
New York---In the eastern district fair
average crops have been made. In the
middle districts some injury has been sus-
tanned by rust, and some by wet weather,
but there is nearly fair average crop. In
the important western district, very serious
injury has been sustained, the extent of
which is uncertain, as much grain was still
exposed at last dates to unfavorable wealth.
err. 1t is apprehended that the crop in
that district, will be diminished full one
third. ......
COnnecticut.----In the small wheat dis
tricts of this state, the crop has sustained
some Injury, but the extent not sufficiently
ascertain ed.
In the states east of Connecticut,n no wheat
of importance is raised.
On the whole, lit is safe to conclude, that
notwithstanding the favorable prospect in
last month, for superabundant crop,in the
wheat districts of the United States on the
atlantic, there is barely an average crop.
1t is worthy of remark, that in the great
valley between the north and south noun
tains, extending from New Jersey, through
Pennsylvania and Maryland, and into Vir-
GINA, the crop of wheat has not this year
been subject to the injuries sustained in a
greater or less degree in the other districts
and has proved uncOmmonly abundant, of
fine quality and in general well secured,
which compensates, in great measure,
for the DEFICIENCIES noted in other parts of
the country.
The latest advices from Lower Canada,
lead US to apprehend, that crops there have
sustained injuries, and will prove short of
an average,
