A manufacturer makes the following remarks in
the Boston Post in regard to the price of hides and
leather:
The summer and fall sales of boots and shoes be-
ing about over, and the supply of goods being fully
equal TO the demand with prices tending dow dW Ird
even from point which at the best was not remu-
nerative to the manufacturer is it not reasonable TO
expect falling off in the price of leather? In ad-
dion to the unfavOrable prospects of the boot and
shoe trade, the developments of the last two weeks
in the New ork money market show that the large
dealers in hides and leather have played the heroic
game about out. Their notes for large sums have
been offered is Boston as well as in of the
rural districts" rates for cash which indicate
that no ordinary amount of hides and leather is
resting upon their hands. Now let the boot and
shoe manufacturers act deliberately in relation to
this matter and buy leather in anticipation of It's
rising ID price, nor give heed 10 the confidential adj
vice of interested parties the contrary, and the
work Is done. The fluctuations Of the market dur
ring the past year show that unnatural extraordI-
nary influences have been at work to raise and
sustain The price of leather. But in my judgment
the natural laws of trade, of supply and demand,
will be potent in bringing down the price of hides
and leather as it has been it its effects upon other
merchandise that was unduly inflated in prices.
The bull worm is said to have made its appearance
in portions of Dallas and adjoining counties in
Alabama, and is destroying whole fields Of cotton.
1t is said to be worse than in any year since 1913.
The Wetumpke Dispatch says planter living near
that place, picked twenty thirty bull at shutdown,
from two three stalks, and found that every one
of them was completely destroyed. The Montgo-
merry NaH hears very great complaints in regard to
the ravages of the bull worm in that portion of the
State. The Nal says: "Its ravages are chiefly
in the back stiff prairie lands though we believe no
locality is entirely without them If elsewhere they
do as much damage as in this section of Alabama,
they will considerably affect the figures of the
crop"
The Houston Telegraph says of the Cotton crop in
Texas:
Our accounts of the growing crops quite as
! favorable as those given last week. Picking is
/ actively going all over, and with of
moderate length, the aggregate cotton crop of the
] State will exceed that of any previous year by
many thousand bales, By this We do not mean to
| say that our planters are gathering full crop by
any means Ii will fall considerably short of that.
The crop Of the last two years has been short
That of this will be full crop than either
| ofthose. But the increased amount put in cult
I
seasons in large portions Of the State, warrant the
| opinion that we give above.
We have an official report of the corn and wheat
crop of Ohio, as made up from returns made to the
assessors in 1857. The aggregates are
Wheat. Corn.

Upon this basis we may estimate the crop of 1851
at 80 OOO 900 bushels wheat, and 100000 bushel:
corn.
L'Ec6O Agricole, journal especially devoted tC
the interests of agriculture, gives the following
analysis of the harvest in the old world for the pre-
sent year.
In Belgium Wheat is very low in price, but R y
maintains its price.
At Hamburg, business is very dull. The dispO
sable Wheat remains al the nominal price of from
p to 81 francs the 100 kilogammes. Rye is ais
low in price, from IS! francs a. 49, francs the 1O
kilogrammes
At St. Petersburg, Russian Wheat does not seen
to be more than sufficient to meet the demand
the price is from Is! francs a. 10 francs the hectic
litre.
In Denmark the wheat appears to be a fair crop
Rye very middling; Barley and Oats very weak
Rape and Turnips are good both in quantity an
quality.
The reports from Odessa and the Sea of Azof an
are so insignificant that the prices have not falle
as low as one would have thought The price q
young Wheat of good quality is from 10 to lGf tn
hectoltre.
In Iay, prices have fallen, in consequence of tn
abundance of the harvest iu Piedmont in LOmbardy
in the Papal States, and in the kingdom OF Naples
Il is believed that his Scilian majesty will in
mediately give permission for the expectation
corn.
The Wheat in Spain has not fallen, as yet as raj
idly in price as it appeared natual to hope for, /
the faco Of such fine prospects the harvest pre-
n scented There were paid in last week in Madri
82fr. the hecolirc In the provinces of Salamanc
the returns of Wheat exceeded all expectations.
Estremadura the harvest is also very abundant
but there are some little complaints in CASTLE.
