ses us that the reports of failures in the
wheat crop for SO are untrue as regards

In few weeks we may expect to see new
wheat coming into market.-loUa Point

fore their cost would be omparativeiy light.

The corn in this county looks splen-
did. The weather has been highly favora-
BILE for its growth. Wheat is now being
harvested, and the indications of rust have
not materially damaged it. A fine crop will
be gathered. The prospects for grain in
the Territory are generally first rate-S-LG'0-

The wheat in this (Doniphan) county
is now ready for harvesting. The crop is
the best ever raised here. Corn never look

prove unfavorable. we shall have at least
three times the number of bushels We had
