The intelligence received within the past
len days from Europe particularly France
and Geruany-w;th Tegnrd n the crops, is
less favorable than formerly. In Franceitis
estimated that the wheat crop is from one
hslf to one-third below an average, while all
over the continent Of Europe there is de-
fciency. In Germany the rye Is q very
short crop. In I.aly the crop Of corn IS a
failure; and in Spain and Portugal there
are serious complaints Of nearly all the
cereals Even in England, although the
quality is good, the yield is Light, and ths
agricultural papers all testify to de6cien-
cy when threshed out Besides this. the
potato crop, both in England, ireland,
Frarce and Germany, is poor and gene
rally doubtful.
The Marx Lone Express of the 2d instant
although it speaks encnuragfngly of the
wheat crop Of England, states that the de-
nand for shipment to France Is SO great
that there is not much prospect Of The king
dom recovering speedily from the future
Of last years c7ap. The French 1nillers
E'.rt competing with those Of England in
th.ir own markets.
In New York the expectations of -four
sDd grain to Europe have been so exten-
s:7c that, notwithstanding the immense
receipts, the stocks are unusually bare,
and about two-tl:rds Of the grain between
buffalo aud New York has been sold to
arrive. The blockade Of the Southern ports
Las placed New York in state Of com
T:rte dependence On The West, and it re-
t:Gir.s 20 small amount to make up the
s:,rply usually filed by R!chm7nd, New
Orleans aEd other Southern Eports.
Taking an these facts in connection " ith
lie light crop Of wheat throughout the
Et=:, and tie Lot very great certainty Of
an everage corn crop, there is every pro-
hahility Of coed demand for western pro-
ducts at remuneratiye prices. France will
3tqui1e as much wheat from us during the
nezt twelve months, as England has taken
during the past twelve; and the deficiency
in course grains will cause an active de.
2uaud for our corn.
There is one drawback, hoHeyer-higt
hcights. Yesterday 15c per bushel wa:
r:aid tcr taking corn to Buffalo, and PIC fol
-7leat TO OsTego. This is about three
inc. higher than fair paying rate, an6
o. long es such q state Of affairs exist

There is one remed; to all this-ant

f1cielts must decline one-half,' and tht
will be so much saved to the farmer
Within the past three weeks the stock q
E7s.in IN this city, even with the heavy re
ctip.s We have had, is reduced abou
100000 bushels. If the farmer only sell

sell two bushels, with the present carry

Son be brought down to a reasonabl
rate, and he will get as much fo

for two, with the present high rates (
