such Information as: We can gather from
foutsxchange papers and from pefsons who
have Travelled in the different counties
we are led to believe the wheat on the
ground has passed the winter and sprin

iPuee lAst summer was such as 10 induce
plentiful seeding, and with no misfor4
tune q the crop between This and harvest,
the prospects Of aG abundant product are
as good as could be wished. There is
not much wheat in this country. though
several pieces IN this vicinity appear RET
maFkably we'll. !
We pee itstated in some New York pa.
|Per,that the wheat crop had suffered ss-
yerely8in the western part Of that State,
~ theiopen winter, but this wants con-
6rma,i6n. E
The cultivation Of wheat is afording
the best return THAI our farmers can Oh.
tain fol their labor. add though We do not
aaiicipAte very high prices again, until a
change i made in the protective system,
