GrUn.-It Is with sincere regret that we ad.
vert to the present dsasterous state Of the har-
vest in Maryland. The period for cutting the
wheat crop commenced about ten or twelve days
ago. with fair prospect, generally speaking, OF
at least an average yield; but since the period
alluded to there has been an almost unintermit.
ted fall of rain, with numerous showers in which
it literally descended in torrents. The heat dur
ing tins time has also been oppressive. This Pc
cuiarly injurious state of the weather has prevail
ed generally throughout the Eastern shore coun.
| ties, and also in Baltimore and Hartford; but in
reference to the western and southwestern dis
tricts Of the state no positive information has as
vet been received. 10 many places, the wheat
has sprOated, and we saw to-day several sprout
ed heads taken from sheaves cut more than week
ago, which showed that the crop in question was
now totally vaiueless. Should the verbal ac
counts which have been received be verified by
actual results, it will not be far from the truth to
estimate the loss of the wheat croAat full ont

ripe. of good quality. was sold yesterday at 81 0s
per bushel This is the only lot in market Of

the white. On the same day parcel of 200(
bushels good North Branch was sold at 90, OF

Corn.-The receipts have been quite limited
this week, and but few transactions have cOnse
quentiy taken place On Wednesday parce
of prime yellow was sold from store at Is cents
per bushel: and on Thursday and this morning
two cargoes, afloat, Of ordinary yellow, were sole
at 60 cents. Parcels Of prime yellow it is be
lieved would command to-day 6S cents. Th'
price of good white corn is nomnally 60 cents
there are no parcels of good quality in market
and prime lots would probably command frac
ton more than 60 cents. Some sales of inferior
white have been made at Sc cents. We quote
ordinary to prime yellow at 60 a 65, aud COOS
white at 60 cents.-.7merican.
