TIE SEASON AND TIE PROSPECTS OF
GRAIN AND FRUIT.


TIVE CHANGE IN THE WEArHER.-The extreme
heat of the first days OF July began sensby to abae
ON the Fourth and so continued till Saturday which
WAS in great contrast with that day week. On the
latter day the slightest articles of clothing were all
that ore coud bear; on the former, wooden pants,
boots md thick coats were not at all oppressivei
and the day closed with gentle, cool rain. sun
day was clear and mild with smart breeze that
rapidly evaporated the vet of the previous evening.
This weather although not quite warm enough for In
dian corn, will not set il back, while for wheat
and rye il is almost periecuon-we cannot imagine a
condition of the atmosphere better adapted to filling
out every sheath in the heads with full plump berries
The weather too is favorable to fruit and this CITY
is likely to be blessed with the greatest abundance it
ever euioyed of all kinds. Up TO Saturday, July 7,
strawberries were hanked through the street at or
cents basket. The Red Antwerp rasJbeuies have

say 373 or so cents quart
This kind Of fiuit will soon be very plenty, as the
vines on all tie plantations that we have seen are
well loaded. We have Iticed fes OF the common
back raspberry in murke'. selling in the little straw

blue variety beginning TO come IN. and understand
the crop is generally good Red edrran's-not ripe
opes-are plenty and these and the abundance of
half ripe cherries that cold in the streets every
day, will convince great many willing believers hat
