The grain harvest in the Western States
is now under way, and will be nearly com
pleted within the next fortnight In ILL
nois, Indiana and South Iowa the wheat
crop has already passed through the hands
of the harvester, and in North Iowa, Min
nesota and Wisconsin the wheat is beyond
all damage from the ordinary foes of the
grain field.
1t is now ascertained beyond all cavil
that the yield in the West, except, per-
haps, in the southern counties of this
State, will be about four times greater than
in any previous year, and the effect
upon the financial affairs of the West
will be extremely favorable. When the
grain crop of Iowa is marketed, the ire
turns" will put the farmers in condition
to liquidate their debts, the retail merchant
will honor the bills of the jobber, the
wheels of commerce will be freshly oiled
and the general stagnation which has pal
sled the business nerves of the country
for the past three years, will be succeeded
by that healthy action which ever pervades
the great commercial body when the con-
sumers are continually draining the gra-
neries of the producers.

con &c. to 12c., plain ham lie, tallow &C.,
hides &c. and lac, oats in demand at 42c.

The receipts of grain have been large at
Chicago for two weeks past much more
than at Milwaukee, which is probably
owing to the fact that the harvest in
Southern Illinois, and the country tribu-
tary to Chicago, is earlier than in Wiscon-
sin, North Iowa and Minnesota.
A late trip through portion of the
country, tributary to McGregor, convinces
us that the receipts Of grain at this port
this season will more than treble those of
any previous year. Harvest is now COM
mencing in this county, and in the interior
counties the reapers will soon be in mo-
ton. The farmers are confident of extra
yields, and having sown much larger
breadths of land than usual, the aggregate
returns will probably equal those of seve-
raj past years combined.

day is,-wheat advanced 1c. The prices
