THE CROPS AND THE MARKETS IN FRANCE
PARIS, Monday.-The weather was cloudy and
uncertain during the greater part of last week
Rain fell generally in the morning, but the after
noon was fine. The accounts received from the
country announce that vegetation has made consi-
derable progress and that wheat is shooting forth
lts ear In good condition. The farmers are more
satlshed with the appearance of the wheat than
tney were week ago. They are moreover unani-
nous In believing that the harvest will be a late
one, winch, under existing circumstances is an ad-
vantage, as otherwise the corn would be ripened
oy 100 hot sun, which would prevent the grain

l2O kilogrammes. The wheat harvest has com.
menced in Provence, and the farmers are satisfied
with the result. The harvest is made up in Alge-
ria. The crop is considered as passable allowance
being made for the intense heat, which burnt the
wheat few days before it was cut in the province
of Oran the West and that of Agers. The Italian
farmers are beginning to cut their wheat in the
neighborhood of Genoa and of LeghOrn. 1t is ex-
pected that the crop will be good both in quantity
and quality. The factors attached to the Paris
flour market declared on Saturday 2,s6I sacks of

delivery within thirty days at prices varying from
