The Crop, Grain, Arc. ...
From the Journal d. Hlino. Of the 10th
published at kankskee in this State, we
taanslste the following regarding the wheat
crop in that region:
II Ia true that in this region, and in some
others, the autumn wheat has been in geat
measure destroyed BY the frost; but we do
not think there is any necessity for speaking
90 mournfuly Of IL IA some people do. An
immense extent Of ground has been sown this
spring, and the wheat grows rapidly. The
farmers continue 70 plough in the fields that
We're sown last autumn and sow them anew.
We m y safely calculate that the crop Of
1857 will exceed that of 1855 at least 26
per cent. We convened yesterday with n
intelligent farmer in the environs Of our city.
He said that around him, within radius Of
three miles from his farm, there had been
sown at least fifteen acres Of spring wheat,
and that on each quarter section in this part
of the State they had sown all least sixty
aces. The sun il in an excellent condition
for the seed although the sesson may appear
little advance. The quality of the seed
employed has never been better than this
year; in a word all even here show US we
SHOULD h,pe for IN abundant harvest,
MARKNoo, ILL.-The spring wheat in this vi
cinity looks well and growing finely. The
winter wheat did not suffer much from cold
weather last winter. Fair crops may be ex.
pected this season Il [Marengo Journal.
DAVENPORT, Iowa. Friday last, sales Of
wheat were made at Chicago at $l,lO-a
fall Of about ten cents. Saturday last, 81
was the highest price beng paid in the Dav.
export market. From present prospects the
price of wheat must sink some lower than
this, though not, we think, to the late stan
dard.-[Davenport Gazette, 18th.
CLINTON. IowA.-Although the prices Of
wheat has advanced materially, there arc
large quantities coming in over the c. l..
and N. R. r. daily, most of which is finding
a southern market. On Thursday last, one
thousand bushels were brought in and ship
ped Immediately on the steamer Audubon
for St. Louis. We understand there are large
quantities of wheat still held back. A gem
tlcman from the interior informs US a few
days since, that he knew Of 10000 Bushels
say at least. The farmers are waiting for q
further ad, ance.-[ Clinton Herald, l6ih.
MADISON, WIs.-We have conversed with
farmers from various section of the country,
within the last few days. and they do not be-
lcve in desparing Of good crops in spite Of
the weather. Large quantities of wheat and
oats have been sown, and most Of the corn
ground is ready for the warm day Of planting
to come. The spring feed is sufficient growth
to sustain all but working and dairy stock,
and in spite Of the backward spring, the
farmers generally have buoyant hopes Of the
future Madison Patriot, 18th.
SOUTHEAST MIssouRI.-We conversed yester-
day with gentleman who has just returned
from tour through fifteen counties in South
east Missouri, who informs US that the wheat
looks well in all those counties, and promises
a good crop. lie thinks there cannot be less
than two thirds yield, and represents the
farmers Of that section as greatly encouraged.
st. Louis Rep, ls.
UPPER CANApA.-A gentleman, who has
just returned from somewhat extensive trip
through Upper Canada, informs us that moth
ing can exceed the promise of the wheat crop
there, and unless some evil, now unexpected,
shall befal il there will be an unusually har-
vest in Canada tue present season.
Rochester Democrat.
ONO AND ISDIANA.-Dr. Smith just from
Dayton, o., inforlns,us that crops never looked
mere promising in the Miami Valley than
now.
A gentleman just through Northern Ind
ana and Northern Ohio, says winter wheat
never looked better.

OLD GRAIN ON HAND IN STEPHENSON
COUNTY, ILL.-It is difficult to ascertain what
poporiion harvest of last year is yet in the
hands of the farmers If this county. Some Of
.hcm have theirwhole yet unsold, though there
are but few in that list. Probably that take
the county through, one. e.quarter Of the whole
surplus of the crop yet remains to be mar.
kete,i-say one hundred to one hundred and
fifty thousand bushels. We speak now Of
wheat. Of corn and oats and potatoes the
supply is limited Not enough Of either to
enter into calculation.
