prospects for corn crop Of full average yield throughout
the region Of country about which there recently
much apprehension, have been well treasured by the
genial rains of the last weeks and the increased
amount OF land planted throughout the West will make
the yield OF this great staple, if present ancpatons
realized, much greater than before gathered. We

THE WHEAT CROP OF THE wEsT-ARE THE FARMERS
HOLDING BACK?
From the Chicago Press and Tribune, Sept. r.
The East is aboring under sad deusion. They imagine
that the entire West is bankrupt that every farmer is
loaded down with debts, which will compel him to rush
his grain to market, let the price be what may This
is very wide Of the truth At least onehaf Of the farm
in the West can hold their wheat year. If they
think proper and although always recommend free
deliveries as the best policy in the end still expe-
ence warrants in the belief that should prices decline
still further as Eastern journals most ndustriousy pre-
dict the receipts will be withheld. In Ohio and Indiana
the farmers selling but little the receipts at tho
leading markets Indicate; and spring wheat proper
onatey low winter, the receipts this port would
not be as large as they
last week, when daily receipts of wheat reached
100 900 bushels New York became paray zed and ope
rators acted though they about to be deuged
with grain from all quarters. They forgot that far
this year have only exported triGe over two mil
lion bushels against about six millions last year and
that much Of that grain went to feed the West that
have not Crmean war and famine prices to draw forth
the last bushel from the farmer so as to make in the
falls exports what has been lost in the spring and
mer by the failure of last years crop
There other facts to be borne in mind This year
the wheat is all well cured, and is in better condition
keep than that of any crop for the past ve years.
while the stocks, all the United States East well
West never so light Under these circumstances,
granted that there will be export demand for Euro
pean consumption there is much occasion for the
East being frightened out Of all proprety by an magi-
nary deluge Of breadstufs.
