age crop, or nearly SO, may be made In some
places the worm has made considerable devastation,
and in others injury has been sustained from
the want Of rain but on the whole the prospect is
a good one. In Ohio, there will be considerable
falling off, both in quantity and quality. The
most f1attering accounts name the probable extent
of the growing crop at 900 hhds. while other
Inmates fall far below this amount During the
week the demand for Maryland Tobacco was mod

kinds affected to less extent. We quote
inferior to good Maryland crop at $sS75a $3.50,

light owing to limited receipts We continue to

it is really heart-sickening to behold the face of
the country for several miles around our village.
Vegetation of all kinds looks parched, and the
prospect for both corn and tobacco is of the
gloomiest character With the exception Of two
or three light showers we have had no rain to
benefit the crops much for nearly two months.
A Poor Y1ELD.-We understand that one of
our farmers in the neighborhood of Middletown,
after having thrashed and measured the wheat
from field, upon which he had sown nine tons
Of guano, found the yield to be ffty-one BUSH

Of this county are not much exaggerated.

1 THE GRAIN CROP OF 1858.-The PRAIRIE
Farmer gives the following estimate of the grain
crop in the northwestern States:
+ After careful examination of the whole sub
lject we have come to this conclusion: that OF
the wheat crop of 1858 Illinois will not export
more than six million bushels-perhaps far less;
that Iowa will export less than one million
bushels-perhaps less than half a million; that
Wisconsin will export not more than three-ffths
as much as of the crop Of 1857; that Indiana
will export in about the same proportion as
Wisconsin; and that there will be a falling off
in Ohio of at least three millions of bushels
Bear in mind we offer these as very high esti-
mates. A continuance of bad weather may re-
duce the amount for export to almost nothing
At present the quantity is wasting at the rate
of many thousand bushels per day. How much
old wheat there is yetin the country we do not
know, but the quantity is certainly less than
commercial papers estimate it. The corn crop
will somewhat affect the price of wheat, but
there is no possibility of its being an average
yield per inhabitant in Illinois or Iowa.
AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS IN ENGLAND
The Liverpool Times of July 81, says: "Our
reports from all quarters, north, south, east and
west, speak Of the promise of the harvest as
something splendid and prodigious. We do not
hear of failure in the wheat crop in any direc-
ton. Already the sickle is at work in many
districts, and with few weeks Of fine weather
the stackyards will be filed with an amount of
golden grain such as they have seldom held, and
the land blessed with plentiful supply of home
growth rarely seen and rarely surpassed

I Mr. BURLINGAME made a speech on

thug of the autographist. We learn that
they have cost the bank a great deal Of
