There is now no question but what the
harvests of Europe have sadly disap-
pointed the hopes Of the people. In
Germany the yield is far below Che
average, and the demand for Rye from
this country has already been active
Several cargoesi have already cleared
for Antwerp and oyer a quarteraof q
million of bushels of rye have been
contracted for to arrive at the sesboard
for the same destination. In France
the grain crop is, also deficient, and
much excitement has already been fell
there in regard TO the future. Welearr
of engagements in French markets fol
large deliveries Of wheat and -four three
or four months ahead, at very full pri.
ces. We doubt, however. If this bust.
ness is well managed in this country
1t is something so novel that the mer'
chants appear to be always at one ex
treme or the other. Last year large
majority of the imports from this coun'
try were neither suitable in quality mol
landed at the proper season; while
great many cargoes sent out on French
account were ordered to England for &
market. o Ini Great Britain there isles:
said about any deficiency. but the eroE
is below the average. and the Englsf
must be heavy importers of breadstutfs
This was caused. not as many appear tC
suppose, by the rains of the summer
but by the severe cold of last Winter.-
The thermometer was at zero for o con
siderable length of time, with unfavor
able winds, and much Of the wheat wa:
winter-kiLed. The demand for food
for Europe is now directed to the Uni
ted States. Our own crops were some
what injured in the gathering, owing tc
the wet weather, but the damage ha:
been limited and local, while the actua
yield is greater than ever before known
in the history of the country. In the
Gennesse Valley, and in Ohio, where
some of the best white wheat is raised
the damage is serious, but in most Other
parts Of the country the injury is nomi'
nal. In the Far West and Northwest
the yield is enormous; and Indiana, IL
linois, Iowa, and Wisconsin, the last
three especially have raised wheat
enough to feed the whole country, with
surplus to spare. The Canadian
wheat, much of it very choice, will full.
ly supply in our markets the deficiency
in Gennesse, What effect the foreign
demand will have upon prices. tits yet
too soon to determine. If no such de-
mand had arisen, breadstuffs would
have been lower throughout the coun-
try than for many years. If the crop
now harvested could be sent at once to
market, the export movement would on
ly bring the market up to paying prices.
But the harvest. owing to the wet wea-
ther already noticed, was several weeks
later than usual, and this brings the
work of threshing, De-, too near to
seed-time for the farmers convenience.
Still the quantity already in movement
lis very large. The channels of COM
munication. both. by water and railroad,
are bacoming checked with the quanti-
ty on its way TO market, and unless this
movement is interrupted by an early
frost closing navigation, or the exporters
become excited and bid upon each 9TH
er, we see no reason to anticipate such
prices as shall be uncomfortable for the
home consumers. Indian corn isprom-
Using beyond all former precedent; the
warm weather during the first two weeks
of September was of almost incalculable
benefit to the crop, and unless some
thing quite unexpected occur, the yield
will be immense. This, of course will
not be available for the current season,
but it brings out all the old corn, and
thus the supply is far in advance of what
the most sanguine anticipated. ae
