CROPS IN EUROPE

The London New Price Current o,
the 7th September, furnishes the fol-
lowing satisfactory article or the sub
Jeet OF the crops on the continent of
Europe, We believe in England the
crops are acknowledgedly shorter than
they have been for many years.
Having devoted latterly so much snacc N

for our friends, this week, succiuct account
OF Inc state and the result OF the harvest a.

ma that the Grain is now almost secured in
most parts, with the exception Of tho North
srh departments, the anticipations as 10 an a.
Dnudant produces have not been realized md
are below an average growth, and in others
from wet. The wheat has been materially
deterlorated in quality, in which. in some
instances, Barley and Indian Corn have par
tcipated. Towards the South not only the
quality has suffered but the quantity has
fallen one-fourth short Of an average :: best
descriptions of Corn therefore are being held

Terms, prime samples of new being scarce.

as 10 itaIy and the Mediterranean, we hear
from Naples, Leghorn, Ancona, Genoa
Rome and Trieste, that the produce is calcu-
lated to be nearly one-third below the usnaI
quantity, that there are various grades Of
quality, and but a small portion of fine ouo-
iatlons are ranging high, and which are like.
