Int lgencer of the 18th inst, in speaking of the
approaching harvest, says that insthe course of
fyesor six weeks, new wheat will make its APP

dealers mindful of the fact, that a decline in the
price Of this article must necessarily ehsue. Pri-

TUE STEAMsnr Cry OF GLAseow.-+The New
York papers discuss the probability of the steam
ship seen nearfhe Azores, on the 24th March; by
Captain Dahl; of the Norwegian ship Balgur,
proving to be the missing steamship City of Glass
Cow The fact that the vessel seen had paddle,
boxes, whilst the city of Glasgow was propeller.
would seem to settle the question, but the Tribune
argues that ttshe carries an galley and house
over the main hatchway, painted buff color, or
sort ofiyellow, and occupying about the same space
amidships as paldle-boxes, while the roof over
them, being slightly arched, and being apparently
very high from the absence of the bulwarks, Che
City of Glasgow never had anything more than a
rope netting around her spar-deck,) they might
very easily be taken for padleboxes at distance.
There is, however, another difference, in which
no sailors eye could have been deceived; the
vessel seen IS described by Capt. Dahl as OF great
breadth of BEAM whilst tile City of Glasgow, like
altpropelleis, was quite narrow for her length.-
We, think, therefore, that it would be but en-
couraging false hopes 10 found gany probability of
her safety on this report.-Batt American. ss1e
