The WHEAT CRoP-A letter from Peoria Co., ILL.,,
gives us rather gloomy prospect Of seeing all the
debts to Eastern merchants Cancelled out Of the present
wheat crop. 1t says:
"After the people of Illinois are all fed for the next
twelve months, suficiency of seed saved and the
hired help paid there will not be left one bushel Of
wheat in thus State, to pay merchants of New. York
old debts, or to buy imported gewgaws for future

pay for the imports of the last nine months than exists
in this part of the West, then most sssuredy, insn

chants. pretty extensive acquaintance with the
crops within circuit Of fifty miles around this place
apables Inc to say with confidence that the average of
wheat will not exceed eight bushels to the acre. This
is not half the yield anticipated. The price--i5 TO

TIE statement to the yield is confirmed by
dozen other letters.
