nary uses-and though a. yet the growing crops,
here, and 10 Europe, look - favorable - can be
DESIRED there are no reserves to fall back upon In
case OF war, or any event uDpropttous to the hsrs
vest. We must not overlook the fact that IN carly
spring 10 this country 10 the reverse Of ssfe one.
Beyond these considerations there are some fears
for the American crops, and the price Of wheat at
Aioxapdria IL the same - in Loudon.
