From hs MissOHri Republican, September 20
The Crops are not so bad after all

A no0d deal Of unnecessary alarm has
been created in regard To tie crops oi the
present year, in many cases with speculate
i've purposes in view. There can be no
doubt that The wheat and oats crops, MS y
general thing, were unusually heavy, and
with the prospect Of very little export de-
mand for breadstutfs, there is prospect Of
an abundant supply for the home d"mand
IN every section ol Missouri the drought has
very seriously affected the crops OF corn,
potntoes, &c, and it NAV be said that there
is n total failure. The extreme southeast Z
ern countries form exceptions, our accounts
leading us to believe that fine crops will be
raised. Those who have Jailed in the pro.
ductinn of cnrn for their own use, will, OF
course, have TO rely upon Others, and TO pay
what now seems extrayagant prices. Still,
there wil-be corn enough produced in this
and the adjoining States, to supply the de-
mand.
We learn from Minnesota, Wisconsin, the
northern part of Illinois, and much more
than one half of Iowa, that the crops of
corn, and potatoes, never promised better
return for the labor OF the iar,ner. SO il
will be, as we have before said, in the coun-
ties fronting Iowa ON the Missouri. Added
to all this, there is much corn Of last year $
growth in the barn. We gavean instance
Hf this yesterday in speculations made at
Lexington. The Peru (llls.) Gazette, the
other day, spoke Of large amount still on
hand in that County; and there are towns
on the upI or Mississippi river "here large
amounts of old corn may be purchased
People should not be deceived by croakers.
There is an abundant supply of gram for
a year to come, and an imitation Of prices
pr"dicated on short crop everywhere, is
likely to operate 10 the prejudice oi specu'I
latOrs. ..... .. ....
