EXTRACTS FROM OUR EUROPEAN FILES
The Liverpool European Times in an article head
sd agricultural Prospects" says:

"Our reports from all quarters, North, South, Eas
and West, speak OF the promise of the harvest a.
something splendid and prodgiOus. We do not hear

with few weeks OF fine weather, the siackyards viii
filled with amount of golden grain such ia they
have seldom held, and the land blessed with pien

rarely surpassed. Most earmssily do we hops for

and contented people. 1t ia good for the grower
who finds himself repaid by the abundance OF his
crops for all his outlay of time and labor and
money. II is good for the consumer. Ii glad

with Joy. Aud it is good tor others beyond ihs grow

bound up together in trading and copmercia cOun

together. We have, 6deed, as il we're but one ints

The same paper Of August 7th speaking of the hsr

The"London Economist" " in s "note on the crops,
aays: Harvest has now fairly commenced and by
the end Of next week large part of the wheat in the
South of England will be cut. Complaints are made
that the wheat is much laid and 10 such cases the
straw ia brittle and the grain somewhat mildewed 1t
DOW certain that the great heat Of June produced pre-
mature rpeniug and that the carr are not we'll filled
in many districts. The gravelly soils have suffered
the most. Altogether farmers do not now anticipate
more than an average yield Of wheat"
The MARX Lane Express" Review says "Ac
counts differ much as to the probable yield OF
wheat, but by unlverssl consent the light gravel
iy soils have suffered by excessive heat and the ibe
raj uss of guano in such localities will prove OF little
benefit. Spring corn, though amended by recent
fas, will BIZ under an average; beans and peas con

Looking at the prospects of the crops on the con

in price, may be expected The same Revle" states
In reference to The foreign crops, that 1.-THE general
reports leave the impression that throughout France
