condition Of the crops, in the States named.
In New York, the wheat crop is not very
promising. In some portions, it is an
average yield and in others, about three
fourths Of yield. The corn and grass and
fruit crops all indicate.an abundant yield.
In New Jersey, the wheat crop is very
promising. Corn is short; grass very lux
uriant; and fruit scarce.
In portions of Delaware, the yield is
very large-about 20 perHce better than
last year. Miliers are engaging wheat at
$1.75 per bashel delivered at the MILL
Corn is growing freel, and hay is gener.
ally good. Again, in other portions, the
wheat crop is an entire failure-some
fields being black with rust.
In Maryland, the wheat crop may be
an average one-in some places the yield
being very heavy, and others again light.
In Virginia, the crop is an average one.
The Tobacco crop will be unusually large.
The wheat crop in some counties has turn.
ed out to great advantage-in others, It is
a failure. The corn and oats crop are
good. The grass abundant.
In Georgia, the corn, oats and cotton
crops are very promising. The wheat
crop is not heavy-nor is it a failure. 1t
will make, probably, an average turn
out. u iss.s
Thetrops in Tennessee yield abundant-
". The wheat crop.is large and the turn
out very promising and encouraging to the
farmers. The corn and oats crops espec1-
ally will be very heavy.
in Louisiana, the planters are complain
ing Of the weather and the destruction Of
their crops. The land is suffering, and
the corn and cotton are mostly total loss
In Mississippi, the wheat crop is good,
and the yield is promising.
In Alabama, the cotton crop has been
very much injured by the rains. The
grass has got the start and will be serious
impeachment to successful growth Of the
cotton plant. The corn crop in some por-
tons Of the State, is good; in other por.
tons rather slim.
The crops throughout Texas, as gene
,al thing, are said to be in most flourish
ing condition. In some places there has
been too much rain for cotton, bu. on the
whole abundant crops Of all descriptions
may be anticipated.
The Cincinnati (ohio) Commercial Of
the 9Th June, says We yesterday re-
turned from trip into the country. in
which portion Of the valley of the Great
Miami below Hamilton. and some tributa-
~ valleys 10 the north. were visited
From observation, and information direct
from the farmers, we discover that ia the
region mentioned the earth is this season
even unusually prodigal in yielding up its
riches. Wheat, rye, corn and potatoes
are remarkably promising. Oats look ex-
ceedingly well. The crop Of grass is mag
ni6ceat. The yield OF hay will be i'm
mense.
The orchards and the wild woods, too,
are laden with al varieties of fruits and
nuts. Beaches will be abundant where
peach trees are plenty-and in ous mar
kets, too. Plums and pears. and in&sed
every kind Of fruit that fiourishes on tse
hills and in the valleys Of the Great Miamis
are maturing in pr oiusion under the sun
light Of these days.
1t IL now the toughest time in harvest.
Wheat and barley are ripe, and Tiyening
with hot haste in the free sun. Respers,

ers, are in earnest demand, and the supply
is inadequate. Wages for harve.. hands
will range from $3.50 to So per day. The
latter sum was yesterday being freely Of
fered for efficient harvssters. by farmers
whose broad fields Of wheat and barle,
were ready for cutting.
A writer from middle Illinois saws that
the prospect for heavy crop Of grain
never was finer in that region than sbe
present season. A great breadth Of wheat
aud oats is on the ground, and in a very
prosperous condition, giving promise Of an
early as well as bountiful harvest.
The Milwaukee Wisconsin says informal
ton is uniform from every county in that
State, that the wheat crop never before
promised so bountifully. 1t is stout and
healthy, and with favorable harvest wea-
ther, Wisconsin will send to market wheat
enough to make up all deficiencies in the
other States.
The St. Johnsbury (Vermont) Caledo.
MAN states that for the last ten days rain
has fallen abundan,ly, refreshing the grow.
ing crops and cheering the husbandman.
The grass crop looks very well; corn, po-
tatoes and grain look well. promising a
fine harvest.
