Euro,1eal1 C1op Prospects.

The London Shipping aud Mercantile Gazette
of the 1st inst, has the following remarks on the
crop prospects
Thus far no mischief ms been done by the
wind and rain, except in l,u as IT has interior
ed with hay making, but we have certainly had
quite enoUgi OF wet, and longer continuance of
the same would be very likely to give rise to
feelings OF ul'easiness in regard to the probable
result of the harvest. The accounts from the
agricultural districts are. up 10 the pres time,
OF a favorable character; here and there symp-
toms Of blight are said to he apparent both in
wheat and Spring corn but tbs injury lii ely TO
resalt from the same is not considered SCI ious :;
and farmers generally express themselves pretty
well satisfied with the aspect of the fields.
las to the future range of prices of IN,
should nothing occur to cause apprehension or
,uneasiness IN respect To the growing crops, we
should probably prices of wheat lower. b. t
inclined TO think that the fal would not
be material. as II is aim )st certain that the i'm
purtatons (which have thus fur been wonderfully
well kept up) will be comparatively light during
The time which must yet intervene before the
new crop can possibly be rendered available
Unfavorabe even threatening weather would,
on the other hand, be very likely to cause con
siderable excitement, AS st 'cks of old wheat are
unquestionaby small, not only in Great Britain,
but all over the world.
by the most reeont al vioos from tho north Of
Europe we learn tina, the fiat accounts from hence
and the generally promising aspect of the grow
ing crops had caused slight reduction in prices.
Stocks are, h,;wever, reduced into a very narrow
COMPASS in that quart. r. and scarcely any sup
plies being brought forward by the growers.
in France the weather, after having for some
time been wet and ungenia, had undergone
favorable change, the consequence ot which HAD
been sudden and rather important drop in pri-
ces Of wheat. That, however, all appfehensions
as to the possibility of scarcity had not been set
at rest, is proved ny the fact that decree had
been issued to extend the period of the prohibi-
ton of exports.

Here we have clear and ndsputable facts pre-
scented, showing our ability to import and yet we
neglect 10 turn our great advantages to good nc
count, aud allow others TO do for what we can
better do for ourselves. On the other hand, we
see those States superior only in commercial en-
terprise and daring, importing from two to three
times much the export. Virginia imported
in 1921, 81 ,O7S,00O worth of goods, and in 1925
fell down to S553 900, and in 1923 sunk rs low ms
1875, 900 and now, while advancing in other res
poets her foreign commerce remains stationary.
Can any one believe, if we had the will and have
not the means of doing better in this respect !
Shall efforts be made i'll every other mode to ad-
vance the prosperity of he State, except by en-
largng our foreign and domestic commerce =
Surely. our tue policy i'll this particular is To
follow the example of the Northern and Eastern
States.
Before leaving this branch of the subject, we
must advert Ia our shipping interests, and though
our navigating and naval interests have yet
presented no Presidential candidate, perhaps ut
no dstan' lay it may assert its dignity and
tablsh its supremacy. But be that as it may it
is obvious to the most superficial observer, that
in Virginia we have almost totally dsregarded
our commercial marine. When we compare the
shipping interest of our State, even with that of
some OF the new States, we find that ours occu-
pies an inferior position. The whole number Of
ships which cleared from Boston in 1853, is sta
ted in the Treasury report last referred to at H.,
Id. The number clearing from New York. is
placed at $3.50. The number clearing from
Pcnnsy lvania is put at 5l4, and from Maryland
at 576 But when come to Virginia, find
only 292 vessels clearing from our State, and
from South Carolina 36Y, from Alabama 2l2 and
from Louisiana l,2l6, while 800 ships cleared
from Ohio, and 275 from Michigan, and from
California 92l. But 10 exhibit the subject in "A
more comprehensive form, that each one may
look and examine Tor himself, we insert the
following table taken from the Treasury report
above cited

The reports of some of the States are very
minute the subject of dividends; but no returns
of this item are ever made by the Banks in New
York"
So that in reference to hnnk dividends, as well
in every other II, poet in which the question
may be viewed. facts afford the most conclusive
proof of the enriching tendency of trade. In thus
op ming wide the doors to commercial enterprise,
and extending credit upon wise and liberal ha-
sis,and soliciting contributions from all quarters,
the Northern States have progressed in the most
unprecedented manner in all the great elements
constituting national wealth. In accomplishing
these great results, not of tn, If great domes-
tic interests has been sacrificed, but each one
made to conspire to the general prosperity of
all
We proceed now to exhibit the wonderful dis,
parity between the exports and imports of the
States bordering the Atlantic and GulI of Mexico
IN tins investigation, we cannot faiitu ~ struvh
with the anomaly exhibited by the great staple pro-
duclng States situated along the coast, from \ir-
glnia to Texas inclusive. in exporting ,2OO,6S2
worth of productions, and yet being content To
import only Sl7,77I, l6I worth of foreign mer-
chandise. That the Southern States, growing the
great staples of export, and shipping SO large an
amount directly abroad,und with an open sea be-
fore them, and a home market for all they may
bring into the country, should So long have i'm
ported 80 little in return, l. of the most VOL
dertul facts of the day. What other States strug-
gle for and doubtless esteem the most solid aud
substantial basis upon which to found importation
upon, yet the short sightedness and want of en-
terprise amongst our commercial men,or else the
more culpable unwillingness ON the part of the
people to encourage and sustain such efforts, have
allowed to drift away from shores to enrich
and build up Northern cities.
Louisiana exported in 1853 the enormous sum
of S6S,292656 worth of Staple productions; then
why should she be content TO import the pitful
amount of Sl3630,6 $780, South Carolina exported
5,4OO, 4Oo worth produetions;but why should
she be satisfied with importing only 81 ,SOS,5l7!
Alabama shipped abroad Sl6,7S6,9i3 worth of
productions; why should she agree TO import only
Sou9,562 in merchandise! Virginia exported di-
reetly road S3.3U6,79l of her productions; then
why should she remain satisfied with an import
trade of the insignificant amount of S399,004!
Let us now turn our attention to the conduct of
the Northern. Eastern and western States
The exports of Maryland amounted to 1906
l59 and her imports to the respectable sum of
S6,3}0O76.
The experts from Pennsylvania amounted to
S6,527 1896, which was much below what Mary
land sent abroad, but she imported Sl6, 934, 4lO.

In looking over the foregoing tables we per
ceive, first, that those States largely engaged in
commerce, have very large amounts of Banking
cnpul That bank discounts in ALL the States
are about DOUBLE their capital. But that, in the
great COMMERCIAL States, the bank CIRCULATION
is about equal % ONE HALF Of their capital, while
in the AGRICULTURAL States the CIRCULATION
EXCEEDS their banking capital
We will now advert to another table, taken
from the same report, showing the propor'io If
circulation for each dollar OF capital, and the
amount of circulation and capital for each person
in the State of New York and the New England
States:

BY examining and comparing the amount Oh
banking capital in circulation, together with their
discounts aud bills Of exchange, we find that IN the
great commercial and agricultural States. there
exists a must remarkable difference IN favor oil
the commercial States. As illustrative OF ID"
position. we refer 70 the following tables takeh
from the Report of the Secretary OF the lreasu-
nv of March I'd. 1853 ON the banks OF the various
States. which purport to have been prepared near

We here perceive not only great prepondcr-
ance OF banking capital IN all the grent plnees of
trade, but thu the circulation diminishes some
what in proportion rs they augment their capital.
Thus il appears, thai the circulation in New York
city. Boston and Providence averages rather over
twenty two cents to each dollar of banking CAPT
tall while to each person it averages thirty eight
dollars and twenty two cents. These tables pres
cnt many facts worthy Of study and retection,be-
cause they emanate from practical and business
communities and elucidate some of the elements
leading to their great prosperity.
Notwithstanding the enormous amount Of ban
king ,pita in the Northern and Eastern States,
and their great number of Banks, we nevertheless
'nd the profits upon their banking capital exceeds
ours. AS authority upon this point, we invite
attention to the annexed table.
