The Crops Abroad.

Some persons could hardly realize that we
had good authority for the statement in yester-
days paper that -four declined IS cts. to 81, 90
barrel at Boston, on Wednesday. The in
telligence seemed almost too good to be true,
but nevertheless, the statement is fully con-
irmed by the market reports in the CONNER
cial newspapers. The almost unprecedented
fine haryests in Great Britain, and the favor
able intelligence received by the Niagara
from other portions of Europe, have given a
severe blow to the calculations of spectators,
and the prices of -four and grain must come
down.
At the present rates in Liverpool there can
be no export demand from the United States,
and shippers must lose heavily on what has
already gone forward. Brown, Shipley s.
Co.'S Circular quotes Western Canal Flour at
1878; Philadelphia and Baltimore, 81, O0
Ohio at 1925 to 80 in Liverpool. Not
outstanding the severe drought of the past
summer all accounts agree that there is a full
average crop of wheat in the country, and
though Indian corn and potatoes have suffered
great deal in some localities still, by reason
of the absence of the rot, there will undoubt-
edly be larger crop of potatoes than has been
gathered for several years. Since the recent
rains the potato fields in this county have
resumed their coed looks, aud the far
mers tell us that their late planted fields
give promise of an abundant yield. The
decline of -four and grain in the Euro
pean markets Will undoubtedly cause the
Withdrawal Of many vessels from the car
rying trade between the new and old world,
which will find employment in the transport
alton Of coal and the products of industry, at
reduced but still remunerating rates, along
our own sea board. and we may safely calcu-
late, that before winter sets in, those two
great staple articles of American comfort,
Flour and Coal, will be SO materially reduced
in price as to relieve the painful apprehensions
with which its approach is now regarded by
many, all over the land
In regard to the prospects of the English
and Continental haryests, the Liverpool Mer-
curry has the following, which Will be read
with interest and pleasure:
g The same genial weather which produced
something like panic in Mark-ane on Mon
day, and a precisely opposite effect upon the
market for public securities, has continued
throughout the country up to the present
time, and from all quarters accounts have
reached US of its beneficial effects upon the
harvest. Within the few last days stacks
have risen in the vicinity of many home
stead; reaping has gone on rapidly; and
there cannot be a doubt that, under the infu-
ence Of the breezes and sunshine which have
prevailed, the quality of the grain which is
still out of doors, whether cut or uncut, will
have been considerably improved. There Is
SO much uniformity in the reports from differ
ent parts Of the kingdom. both with regard
to the quality and quantity of the cereal
crops, that it is difficult now to find an ex-
ception worth mentioning. The accounts
from abroad, too, are equally cheering; and
it is not likely that any of the Governments
of Europe win be under the necessity of
looking ahead under an apprehension of
scarcity between that time and the next har-
