weather which has prevailed during the last
two or three weeks has, in a great measure,
saved the crops; weather more propitious for
harvest operations cannot be imagined, and in
all directions the farmers have been taking adj

wheat and oats have been secured, and if the
nntavorable change should continue it cannot

far these combined causes have operated. The .
probability is, that good if not high, prices

is evidenced by the large stock Of goods brought .
