THE DROU0ur.-The prospect of an abundant supply of food which we were cOugrHsulaling upon . month ago has faded, and now we hear that the FOtatOe crop will be short about here, from the want of rain. The Tribune is convinced that the drought is more wide spIead and destructive, than any heretofore known In Ameli:a. The corn crop al the West is short, which will effect the p'ice of beef and polk materially. The Rural New Yorker is of opinion that the price of corn and potatoes will Iule higher than formerly.
