THE. WHEAT CROP.

II It will afford our farmers an, comfort to
tunes, and that their neighbors are in no better
condition than themselves, we can give them
an abundance Of gratifying Intelligence. The
Wheat Crops in Maryland, Pennsy lvania, Del
aware-in short from the Atlantic coast in
the East 10 the Lakes in the West, from New
York TO Tennessee will all prove deficient 20
an alarming extent. We notice by the Penn
sylvania papers, that in Dauphin, Luzerne,
Berks. Bucks, Montgomery, Lehigh, North
ampton, Lancaster, Lebanon, York. Cumber-
land, Lycoming, and in other counties Of that
wheat-growing state, there will be almost an
entire failure this season. The editor Of the
Telegraph, in Dauphin county. says:
From all parts We learn that the wheat
crop - going To be- lighter than Il has been in
the remembrance Of our oldest citizens. In
many parts Of this county, our farmers will
not reap much ~ they sowed. This is also
the case in the counties adjoining. The wheat
crop - gone-nothing can save IL; aud those
who arc 10 fortunate as'to have any 10 dispose
of, may expect higher price for il than il has
commanded for twenty years, unless our wants
arc supplied from some distant source"
The editor of the Hagertown Torch Light,
IN closing an article on this subject, says:
Since penning the above. we have heard
from New York, from n source entitled TO Gre
dit. Their prospect for wheat crop is equally
bad any OF the other States We have
heard from. We have been told Of a sale OF
wheat, for seed, being made few days since
at 81 per bushsl"
Late ad,ices from Liverpool state that the
spring has 80 far been cold and backward, and
that prices Of Grain are creeping up little
There IS also dec ided dimnution in the guam
tity Of wheat sown, oats and barley having
paid the farmer much better during the las
two years.
THAT immediate importation, Of Grain e
any extent from Europe, are not 10 be expect
ed, Is obvious, (remarks n writer upon the sub
Ject Prices IN tins country were declining
IN April and May. No apprehensions were
until towards the close Of May, entertained
for the growing harvests. Would any mer.
chant in the United Sta:es, or in Europe, un-
dertake shipments Of grain TO the u. States ir
tho face Of declining prices, and Of growing
crop, coming To maturity IN July-respectinl
which, no approximations were expressed, non,
made public Should the alarm now com
mencing, excite shipments to arrive even late
IN the autumn, It will he well-n is the hes
that can be antieipated-for the latest ac,
counts from England forbid the anticipation Of
any foreign grain being likely to come TO thi'
country, until prices here may have approx
nation to famine prices"
Upon the whole, the prospect is equally gooc
for short crop Of wheat and for high prices
Already the price is advancing, as may be sect
10y our notice to-day of the markets.
