GGAIN AND CRoPs IN IowA.-From exten-
sive enquiries Of our farmers in this region,
aud Of persons from an parts Of southern
Iowa, we are satisfied that the Fall wheat has
been almost entirely killed, there being only
here and there few acres in spots where the
snow remained longest on the ground, in corn
fields, and on land near timber. We also learn
that old grains Of oil kinds i about all gone,
90 that in the land OF abundance where corn
seldom sells for more than rs cents. as high
as 81, 90 to 81, Is has been paid, and further
west, $500 at Charlton, as reported. Whest
can scarcely he had at any price; butter is Sos
est tnuestus; vegetables worth about their
weight in gold, and -four so,O $3.50 per hund.
We are inclined to think that we are expert
encing the worst of this condition OF things.
There is probably somewhat more provision in
the country than appearances and prices indi.
cate, some holding on from the fear Of being
short themselves, and others for still enhanced
prices, ana besides importations from regions
better supplied may be expected. The wealth
er has been very favorable for work the past
week, and every pillow that could be brought
into requisition, has been running, still the
present is Spring Of scarcity, ard the year
will be unpreeedtntedly such. Until grass
grows emisrants and travellers must suffer for
feed. They were feeding stage horses with
wheat west Of US at last accounts. fs
