mind Of an ordinary observer concerning the
shortness Of the wheat crop throughout the
Northwestern States. In Illinois the crop
Of winter wheat was good but that of
spring wheat turns out to be sadly deficient
in yield, and very inferior in quality. In the
central counties Of the State, the berry is
shriveled and shrunken, and the average is
not over one third Of lasts years yield. In
the more northerly counties, the yield is not
over seven bushels per acre on an average
and many fields were damaged to such an
extent, by the bug" that they were not
worth cutting. s.' - :..>E =. - ~
In Wisconsin, the crop Of wheat is also
short. In tho nor,herly counties, the quail.
ty is good, but the quantity is much below
that OF last years crop; while in the cen
trail and southern counties the wheat is very
deficient both in quality and yield. =. =.
In Iowa the quality will average better
than in Illinois aud Southern Wisconsin, but
the yield is not over half Of the crop of
1861. In some Of the narthern counties
the crop is excellent in quality, and the Weld
though not as heavy as last year, is satisfac.

In Minnesota the crop is excellent q To-
quality, and there is not much complaint
about the yield. The rapid increase in the
farming population Of this State within q
year, will insure a much heavier surplus this
year than ever before. /. s..rs..E .4}t
If there are those among our readers who
are not inclined to believe the reports which
are gathered in the country with regard to
the crops, we refer them to a, table which
appeared in the Tribune few days ago
showing the comparative receipts Of wheat
in this city during the first twenty-five days
Of September Of this year and last. The
receipts during the period. named in 1851
amounted to 2,515,5 $50 bushels, while tho
supply during the corresponding period this
year was only 1,5o7. $50 bushels--s defzi
