TmE GRAIs CnoRoF Is 5s.-Tbe PrairS

Tee GRA1s CRoP OF fs 5S-Tbe Prairis
Farmer gives the following estimate of the
graaE crop III, the northwestern States:
After a careful examinations of she whole
subject we lave come 30 this conclusion.
that of the wheat crop of 1858 llliAoas sill
bot export more than six million %sshel-
perhaps far lesas that Iowa will export less
than than one million bashels-perhaps less
than hall a millions 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 Wis
c~onsin; and that there will be o falling of
in Ohio of at least three millions Of bushels.
Bear in mind we offer these as very high
estimates. A continuance of bad weather
may reduce 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 yet in
the country we do not know, but the guam
tity is certainly less than commercial papers
estimate it. The corn crop will somewhat
attest the price of wheat, but there is no
possibility of It's being an average yield per
inhabitant in Illinois or Iowa.
