The Crops.

The wheat harvest, as far as it has pro-
crossed, proves to be as abundant as the
most sanguine expectations which have
been entertained.
In Maryland and Virginia it is much
better than was anticipated few weeks
since, but the hay crop is short, owing to
the dryness of the weather.
In Pennsylvania, they are now in the
midst of the wheat harvest, the dry wea-
Their of the last two or three weeks hav-
ing ripened the grain little earlier than
usual. The crop is good, and the grain is
plump and bright. The yield is better
than last year, and largely increased
quantity having been sown, the aggregate
crop is estimated from quarter to Sd
greater than last year.
In Southern Ohio, the wheat crop, now
nearly harvested, is an excellent one,
r-.Hnh better than 1~~4 s-~~>-.,A &C., ls~I.s
well.
In Indiana, the wheat crop is good,
larger than last year, and the price will
open at 80 to 80 cents bushel. The
crop of corn will be very large; there
was more planted, and it has been better
cultivated than in former years. Oati
and hay are rather short, both in Indian;
and Ohio, on account of the dry weather
