Since tile demise Of Isl, m" nothing !.
OF go much interest TO the general pub.
; lie as.:he prospect Of the crops and the
probable price OF wheat. With respect
TO ihr " heat crop, the accounts are var;-
Gus. IN some districts the yield will be
I very smal--onIng TO the depredetions
of the ehineh.bug ard joint-worm. In 9th.
er districts, where these pests have abound
ed, tie Yield will be- large. On the rich
bottom lands, they grneIaly, are far bet
ter than average, the dry cold season
having been favorable 70 such lands. Up
on the y hole, eve speak merely OF Eastern
Virginia. we shia.s the ptodu.t ii this
year Will fully eqnal, perhaps sonewhat
exceed that OF the las, seav--and the quail
lily proaists TO BE- very fine. As TO the
fcfoja q! Western Virginia and Of the great
!! y est, SIC bare no sufficient information 10
speak positively. We presume from such
accounts as we haze seen, that an aSerage
Jitid may be anticipated.
As 10 the foreign crops, we find anusu-
ally meagre accounts in the London Times.
That paper which ordinarily pays so much
attention to this interesting subject, has its
thoughts sc much ehgi os.ed with the great
var, that il has 10 time to chronicle the
condition OF the crops. Its correspondent
from the various countries OF Europe are
quite as remiss. They supply ITO inteli-
grnee from Spain, Italy, or Germany
in the two first. In the last, where every
thing IS on tn. war footing, we may safely
conclude that the crops are not very abun
dahs. In the Danubian Provinces, occupi d
last ear by the Russians and this by the Aus
TRANS, it is probable that barely enough TO,
home consumption will be produced. The
same remark is applicable 10 the whole
coast Of Euxine. This is the mos, prolific
grain growing region in the world. and
has hitherto made good the Deficiencies Of
western Europe.
We turn to France aud England. From
the Tires of25th May. weeopy the week

kcts. with brief no;ces Of the condition end
prospects of the crops that the seaSon has
been backward and very dry, and that the
crop will be late. As a general rule. .
etr crop in Fngla is bad crop. We

From France we have on!y the Rgsat's-

With the light stocks on hard both in
this county ard in Europe, twill require.
much more than an average crop every
where to reduce present prices. With
short crop either in England or France.
there would exist demand for any sur
plus tina, this country will probably pro-
duce, at even higher than existing rates.
" hat that s,Hpus will lie NE have no
data for estimating. II will. hot be as large
as un der ordinary circumstances. For the
short crop Of Indian com last year Though
out the whole country, aud the small stocks
of flour remaining, will force many people
to use their wbeat for their domestic sup
port, and compel all to begin upon the new
crop some weeks OF month sooper than
usual.
We do hei propose to advice farmers
either to hold or sell. Our obirc, is 70 lay
before them the beat information we eau
collect, that they may judge and act for
themselves. Cur own opinion is that
While specu'aters may temporarily, for a
week d, a time, succeed in depressing
wheat below So, the probability is, the
price will De oltener above that figure than
below it. Perhaps it would 70, be too
sangoine 10 sasiin view otthe short stocks,
the probable crops here and in Europe,
aud the continuance Of war, that the ave-
rage price OF wheat from now till next
harvest will not be less than 81, 50.-Rich
