Th.e Prospect Coz Fs1.aner=.

The west il in luck. Last year it had
the largest crop of wheat and corn this
country ever saw. for which, owing to the
drouth south, and the wet season on the
continent and in England, very fair prices
were realized Notwithstanding, how
ever, the large shipments Of these cereals
to every quarter, the farmers Of the north
west still hold over half their crop Of
wheat, and five sixths Of their corn, and an
unusually large surplus Of rye, oats, bar
ley, and the minor crops.
This being the case, the agricultural
journals are discussing the question's, Will
it pay for farmers to seed heavily in wheat
and corn this year! VIII not prices de-
scend to a ruinous figure il, to the already
OVERLOOKING warehouses Of the west, new
and perhaps heavy crop Of cereals is to
be added?
As farmers are now in the midst of seed
time, we present a few considerations 10
them which may help 10 form their judy
ment as to what is hest to be done:
/. Large crops ID this couttry haze
generally coexisted With good pics
Wheat was never 40 high as in 1854 and
50, when crops were abundant, nor so low
IS In 1858 when wheat was rusted, and
the crop did not pay for cutting. III fact,
heavy wheat and corn crops create their
own demand By stimulating all manner Of
industry.
2. The wheat crop Of England for the
coming year will inevitably fall FIR below
an average, while, notwithstanding The
heavy shipments, the country is fealfully
bare Of grain. The deficiency Of last year
is proved by official statistic, to be fully
SO per cent, while the wet fall, the Octo
Der frost, aud the unusually stormy spring,
have all conspifed to interfere with the
sqring crops. Late accounts from England
represent agrculturists as being sorely dis
couraged at the prospect before them, and
no doubt Is entertained but that a very
large amount Of wheat will be required
from this country. The Liverpool market
controls the American markets, and if high
prices are maintained there, thew surely
viii be here, no matter how large a crop
may be on hand
These considerations, it seems to us
should impress upon farmers the necessity
Of putting all their spare land into seed
We cannot have too much corn and bread
in the land, especially II, as the grim po>
tents Of the time forbode. We are about en-
tering upon an era Of civil strife and for
eign war.-N r World

TALK ON CHANGE.

The gatherings on the shady side of Carondelet
street were free yesterday. Old Sol forces all to
take the shade, though we did not learn there
were many parties DESTROYS Of keeping in the
shade There is a good deal of stamina yet on
Carondelet, though the correspondents and con.
5neetiops of many houses in the North have acted
most traitorously to the South. and have placed
financial and commercial connections in very
embarrassing position. This viii be remedied be-
fore many months, when the lines of steamers be-
tween England and the Southern ports are fully
organized. Frem the tenoriof private letters writ
ten in New York to parties in this city, it would be
supposed that we were to be oyeunn, subjugated,
without mercy or quarter. We are perfectly as
founded at the ignorance prevailing at the North
regarding the social and political position of the
South. 1t may not be wondered at when such
mandy PANTY writers as B. j, Losing spend q
few weeks in our city and go back to New York
and write such faisehoods and mendaoious stuff as
credited to hin in the New York Enquirer. he is
pretty fellow to be writing history. We saw this
falsilier on our nags one day.
There have been some remarks about the Black
Republican ship owners repudating the bills drawn
on them by the captaips Of their vessels for dis
bursements. Two ships bills Of this character
have been noted for non+paynaenf. Fortunately
| for the parties interested the vessels have been
detained BY the elements from getting out of the
jurisdiction Of Louisiana and VIII now be forced to
halt until the commanders secure the amount Of
bills drawnfor. The talk was, that in one case it

owner.

belonging to some Of the parties engaged in this
nefarious proposition, arrived at Slaughter House

& Business closed early on the flags The stock Of
cotton is reduced SO low that an ordinary days
sale in the active season would clear the entire
quantity. Brokers are turning soldiers. Many
have already departed for the seat of war; others,
with weighers, markers and samplers, have yolun-
teered, and if they keep on going we shall nothave
corporas guard to protect the oyster and fishing
banks on the lake shores.
We notice that several merchants have deter
mined to close their stores aud places of business
at and o'clock PM. The residents and mer-
chants on Chartres street entered into resolve
yesterday to close at o'clock. Why not o'clock?
All the business that will be transacted for the
coming five months can be completed daily before
: o'clock. Though gas light is cheap, there is
not sufficient business doing on the boulevard,
Canal and Charities, to pay for its use. 1t is sug
gested that the entire community join in the reso-
luton, close at or o'clock, and allow employees
some chance for recreation, particularly those i'm
bibed with military feelings. ....| .~.... +
