The Crops I'm tho United states.

The condition Of the crops throughout the country ut
this time must be subject Of interest to every In
tie Middle States the wheat harvest is finished and the
crop Is said to be very large, and Of good quality In
the Northern and Western States the harvest Is Just
now beginning From Ohio, Indiana Illinois and Michi-
exchanges bring most glowing accounts of the
prospect of abundant harvest, equal not greater
than any heretofore produced In Ohio the wheat crop
is yearly becoming of greater Importance, and larger
quantities Of land devoted to its production Last
year the yield of the State 35O0oO00 bushels and it
is supposed that 1t will this year reach forty millions
The soil Of all those States bordering the lakes u
better adapted to the growth Of wheat than any other
crop In New York the wheat crop excellent though
there Is probability that in Yates and Ontario counties
will suffer materially by the ravages Of the wecvu,
which for time past, has infected it, The returns
from Pennsyvania are cheering the wheat crop
being good and the prospect for Indian being At
this time favorable to large crop. Maryland, q
the Attest growing States Of the Union presents
poor prospect for good CROP long continued drought
