FoREfGN UARvEsTs.-The harvest is al
most entirely gathered in throughout the cas-!
of Europe; and we are enabled to furnish the
following comparative estimates, collected
from the most accurate accounts In Siesia,
there has been good average harvest. In Po-
land, i'll Galiica, and in the Duchy of Posen,
there has been decidedly good harvest. and
the same may be said with respect to Russia
| In Hungary, the crops have been most salts
factory and i'll the Banat; which is regarded
as the granary of the country, they have been
doubly as productive as those of las: year. lin
Pennsylvania and the Turkish provinces, the
harvest has also been most plentiful Similar
abundance has also been experienced in Mora
via. Every where the grain is Of good quality,
and yields from 10 TO 20 per cent. more flour
than in humid years. Ilmay therefore be fair
~ predicted, that, i'll the East of Europe, the
price of wheat will fall instead of rising, even
though foreign demands should be very great.
