The receipts of grain from the interior continue
very light at all points, and conclusVely prove that
last years crop is exhausted a far greater extent
than usual On the great channels of transpOrta-
ton, the New York canals, the receipts at tldewa
ter, from she opening OF navigation TO the Ist Of
August only 224, $40 bbls. -four, J, 1888. S72
bushels wheat, and l 6l5 4S4 bushels corn against
Ale, 200 bbIs. -four, 3,2'9 COL bushels wheat, aud
6S5, l7S bushels corn, at the corresponding date
last year. Nearly Ill the minor lines show a SINH
lar diminution of 40 70 so per cent, and it shows
that the large shipments last year, the late spring
and the great emigration moving West, have CON
pletely cleared out the last years crops
AS We found it necessary to caution readers last
Spring against the dismal stories OF ruined crops
which came TO from almost every quarter, and
expressed confidence in full crops, from the very
fact which led many to predict scarcity, namely,
the extreme lateness of the season-so now we are
induced utter word Of caution in regard 10 the
expectation of an overlooking supply of breadstuhs
low prices. The tendency OF the American press
Is 10 exaggeration, on every subject, no matter
whether political, commercial, ientihc, literary or
religious and due allowance must always be made
for the large drafts which newspaper writers gem
orally make upon their Imagination in filling out
their statements. We have no doubt the crop Is
very good, but probably 10 the aggregate it will be
found not so large as is generally expected We
have always deserved that large crop Of any art-
Gle generally proves to he smaller than AZ first antic
ipated, and small crop larger in the final out-turn
than is looked for by people generally.
While the planting this year large, and in
some sections the crop may be so per cent. greater
than last year. yet in other sections the crop will be
below an average and much Of the additional plant
Ing was 10 spring wheat. which usually turns out
not more than half or two-thirds the number OF
bu shells 10 the acre which winter wheat will pro-
duce. In addition to this, il must be taken into ac-
count that the stocks Of old wheat and corn are re-
duced 10 an exceedingly loB figure both in the in-
terror and on the seaboaFd, aud that the growers
will undoubtedly retain large portion OF the crop
in their barns unless it is drawn by high pFi-
ces. We have here, then. elements sufficient to
justify in saying that the market is k,ly 70 be

In Southern OHIO aud Southern Illinois, the crops
will probably be much larger than ever before but
