The PLESrIous HARVEST. The New York
Tribune Is iubilant over the prospects Of beau
iifnl harvest II quotes from the Dayton (ohio)
Grzetie, Of June i4th-" In ten days the wheat
harvest viii commence. Thus FAR there is every
prospect Of a most abundant wheat crop. But
not the wisest Of US can tell what will be the re-
suit. In single night sometimes the blight set.
ties over the rfening fields, and the hopes Of the
husbandman are gone. These few days before
the harvest are OF the greatest moment TO Us all. "
UIon this the Tribune remarks;-
In ten days, then, that momenious question will
be settled. II every promise OF an abundant crop
10 fulfilled, we may all rejoice, for then the prices
must fall Indeed, IN States further South the
promise is already fulfilled, and better weather
than the present for the whea, now growing could
not be wished for by any farmer. II !, cool and
moist. The blight never settles upon fields in
such weather We have every reason 10 an,ic
pate n mos, boun,iiul harvest. We know that II
may fai at the last moment, but there is no pres.
ent reason TO anticipate such calamity.
D- Flour is falling yet, slowly but surely
month ago the brands sold at $40 so, which
now are TO be had at S. so. II the melancholy
depression keeps on another month, most, IL any
OF us can afford to eat bread.
The crop and harvest news from nearly every
section Of the country continues TO look well, and
our general markets, ii will have been noticed
for week or ten days past, show an important
decline in the staples Of food. The Cattle Mar
ket feels the effects Of the near prospect Of In
creased supplies Of fresh meats. The Family
Markets are abundantly supplied with fruits and
vegetables. The foreign demand for Indian Corn
which has reached the high figure Of 81 shillings
sterling the quarter in Liverpool, keeps up the
price here, and very large quantities are taken for
export. We understand that the corn crop
throughout the Southern and the Southwestern
States looks unusually fine, and we hear few or
no complaints from the Yves, Of any Of the grain
crops. Cotton on the uplands Of Georgia and
Sonih Carolina, and in South Alabama, Is well
advanced. The season has thus far been highly
favorable IN mos, Southern localities beth for corn
and cotton.
The California steamers afford good supply OF
Gold bars, mos, OF which will be ready for export
by this opportunity, II the Bankers find 1t their
iaierest TO remit largely.

1.-THE coming crop, according TO intelligence
from every section OF the Union, is to be the larg-
es, and the hes, ever had in the United States
Wheat is so abundant, tina, unless some unfore-
seen demaLd shall occur, the beam Will tip as
much in favor Of the purchaser, by giving low
prices Of -four, as il has been against him for the
past twelve months. Indian cora Is the only
thing backward; and there is time enough for
that to grow in the hot months to come. The
drought Of the las, season is said TO have proved
favorable to the Western farmers, by destroying
insects injurious TO the crops; ii will be SO, also,
to the whole people, in turning larger population
TO agriculture, and increasing the cultivation Of
the soil.
