"mosey is tight" II is txue the oat crop wa'

mers are holding back oas for their own uss, not
for rise.
CoRx.-We have heretofore set down the pro-
ductou of corn at less than two thirds what IL
would have been If we had fels no m~enai
drouth this summer. This result would produce
+, loss of more than 200. 900. 900 o!tushels. We
see no good reason TO change this opinion. But
wa are told ths. more acres were planted last
spripg than were ever planted before. So we are
Of opinion: and that makes the los the greater.
In no State, except Wisconsin, is the crop full
one. and that il not counted among the great
corn growing States: Il lies too lar north lnpart
Of Iowa. in Northern Illinois and Northern indi-
ana, snd small par: of Michigan, the corn crop
IL good though late accounts represent the
drouth, not before prevalent, as shortening the
ears in ali the three last named States. In part
of Missouri, in Central Illinois on the lower Wa
bash and in the south part Of Indians, in some OF
the best corn counties Of Kentucky. in some con-
tie, Of Tennessee, in Western Virginia and West
ern Penpsylvanis, in some Of the northern coun-
hall
yersal testimony-there is not half usual crop OF
corn. In other portions Of those States, in the
South. western States, in Neg-York, in New Eng
land and the south Atlsntic States, will any man
contend that the average yield Of corn this year
is equal to two thirds Of the production per acre
Of an average year, in sDy ten
But, we are told, "tbe country is full OF old
"corn, particularly at the West"
We hope il is; but If so, We wonder how It
happens that 10 Central Illinois it is worth 40
cents a bushel and in many other rich corn dis
tIicts it sells from so cent, TO 81 bushels while
hogs " hich are the vehicles for carrying corn TO
market, are drug at any price.
II the growing crop is really likely to turn
out as many bushels IS ever were produced IN
the country, and if 1.-THE cribs are fairly grosn-
ing with old corr, we wonder why it is selling
this day in New-York by the cargo, at PC. aoOc.
q basheL
Bat we DO believe that with proper economy, and
Il corn is not wasted in feeding, and worse than
wasted in distillng. and with no foreign dem,nd,
there will be q good supply, and no occasion for
extrayagsnt prices But as the total yield is un'
doubtedly short Of the ususl average, 1t is most
solemn duty, which every good man will Prsc-
.ce, TO economic its use. So that there will be
no occasion TO ask exorbitant prices, or withhold
corn from the poor.
WHEAr.-lt is conceded that tho wheat crop
throughout the Union is fair one and that there
ia not now, nor will be- any foreign demand; yet
wheat was quoted yesterday at for red Delaware
~ 80; for white Southern, 81 oOaSl 81 for
Genesee, So 12I, aud -four though falling At

This either prove. that the yield Of bresdstufs
.ike,y to find their way 70 this market is not
abundant, or else the aour spectators are 80
al. powerful that they control the market of the
whole world
our opinion Is that the price is Kept up more
by the law OF supply and ds maud than by any
operators for rise"
We DO not believe that present prices sill be
maintained through the season unless mills are
unable 70 grind ON account Of failure Of water.
The yield OF wheat in all the New England
States was pretty good upon the sn,ll number Of
acres usually sowu. In this State, the crop was
a spotted one; ss whole, not good one. In
Pennsylvania, toe wheat crop was good in many
Of tae Counties, and almost wholly destroyed in
Others by tho wheat nudge. 10 Neg-Jersey.
Delaware and Maryland the crop was generally
pretty fair In Virgins, greatly destroyed in some
Of the best wheat Counties by the jointwo and
Other causes. In North Carolina and States
further south, which only SOW small breadth to
wheat, the yield was about as good as usual. In
Ohio. the crop was very good in the southern
Counties; light on the average through the cen
ter of the State, and decidedly poor in the north
ern Counties being both winterkilled and
weeyil eaten.
The crop of Michigan was spotted, good here
AID bad thereon the average only medium.
Inthe northern counties Of Indiana, the crop was
good, though the large growth Of straw does not
yield as many bushels as were expected. The
crop in the cester and south part OF the state
wss not sn average good one.
What = said Of Indiana may be said Of Illinois.
Large quantities Of spring wheat are 'own In
both States and that was much blighted.
The wheat crop OF Wisconsin is the beat Of all
the States. some Of the papers estimate tho
yield per acre at - or 80 bushels. We think
