THE CORN CRoP--Tzn PoRx
TRADE PRosPHCTrvUrw

Durlng the past week we have received In
formation from various localities in the West;
regarding the present state of the corn crup.
and not little about hogs. without ToiEF
into detail, we win give the points in a brief
summary. In this State, except in light soils.
the corn crop is much Better thai ryas eapest
ed month ago, and, generally speaking, "a
iaii average, taking into consideration Tia
greater breadth of land planted In aIiUht
sanity SOIL, however, il never recovered from fhn
effects Of the drought in July, and in al such
cases the yield will not be over half nd kvcrASne
but the quantity Of such land is small. and con.
sequently the effect will not be felt. 5Is ~,
In lEdtna, the crop is excellent, and in IN
the Wabash country is unusually heavy, tha
ears being longer and better filed than usual.
Indeed we have no t5mplaints from any nor
ton OF that State; in all parts, the crop ap- n
pears to be satisfactory. A good erop az ~
wheat has been sown. and it looks wei! Isal4l s
In Illinois, except in few counties in tho d
northern portion Of the State, where ID was In
Jured by frost, the crop is fair in many places g.
good, aud IN all good rich corn lands, beavy,-s 81
IL is not yet fully matured, but the present
weather Is very favorable, and large quantity
that It was supposed would not mature befora
The frost would come, is now nearly out ofS6hs
ger, and generally exceeds the expectations OF
the farmer. -s-r ~ SEQ n
In Iowa, there is considerable variety IN de ss'
crop. In the northern portion of the Stntarsa
we hear OF the injury done by the frost abous
the LIST OF September, and some represent Il seS >
riou', whist others say it was but slight az thsss
stalk and ears were not Injured, only the ieavesva
have not heard rom this State fully enough. .a5i

In Missouri, Tie crop is pretty good; though !.
like Iowa. we have not heard from MANY points -.

In Kentucky, the crop is represented fair I'd
average and it is fully matured, the quality be-
ing excellent. ..1ll "A
In Virginia, the corn crop, we learn, Is y
partial failure, and not twothirds Of last sg
years crop: n u
We have no very definite advices from Ten -
nessee, but from what We have our impressions &

places 1t is short, consequent upon the drUuRht
In all the Places we heard from, hogs are be- M
ing generally fed with great care and industry. 20
and 1t is exceedingly difficult to purchase stock ss
hogs, showing that the owners feel satisfed gsal
they are fully able to feed all they have. The 4
reverse was the case at this time last year.-.F
In many places the farmers have been feeding -
With the green corn since the lst of September. p
In some parts of Indiana stock hogs are scafce
and in denandj as high as 41&c gross havinRlas
,en paid for them. There seems to be "a y
speculation going on, and we hear of no con- u67
tracts being made. The impression is general
with the ftfnets that they will obtain high 81
prices for their hogs, but all those who went "A
N so freely last fall, are now holding of. Thn ~
are that The humber of hogs brought q

In THE market there have been no contracts .s

'enerally supposed that they want them to flF

the present active demand for bEcon. ana ~
areness of the market for hams, together with
hose contracts, il is supposed will make the
1arket open high, probably &c. as many think e
ut the greater majority of dealers are deter
