The prospects for heavy crop of grain in our
State said to be excellent and will exert de-
pressing influence in prices of grain of all kinds
indeed, it is probable that they will never be so
high again as they have been heretofore OF
Wheat, several hundred per cent more is sown
than last year; SO of Corn; so of Oats, sand this
increased supply will decrease the shipments from
below, in proportion as the home demand is sup
piled by home products. But grain continues to
arrive by River in small lots.
