The Wheat crop in this District con-
rinucs to look more promising than we
have known il for many years, and there
was much larger quantity sown than
usual. In the middle aud lower Districts
of this State the harvest has generally
been completed; and many fields in the
upper country are so nearly ripe that
they are considered out of danger of
being injured by rust. So far as we have
heard, from North, South, EaS, aul WesI,
the prospects for bountiful cropof this in
valuable grain were never more flateriug.

The news Of short crops. carried ont by

The news has produced great sensa-

Our cotton market has beeu in very
languid state during the week. The

Since VIC had the pleasure of addressing
you, the cotton market has hren in

more than S5OO bales per week. The
decline from the highesr point is I'D per

cd with last year, shows an increase Of
10000, whilst our import has been 220.000
bales short.
That there has heen great falling off
in the consumption, there can be no doubt,
and we fear it is equally true, that such
is the stale orlrade, the manufacturers are
not getting a remuneratng price even al
the present reduced rates OF the raw ma
erial. Still as they at no period probably

may show itself with them, must he i'm
