Reports from various portions Of our own
State on the condition Of the crops are thus
far generally favorable. The wheat crop is
looking we'll. In a. great majority OF the
growing finely. It is feared, notwitbstand-
lng; that unless rain shall fall very soon, tbs
crop may Jet suffer. ALI approximations, OF
this nature njay, We think, be dismissed Nth
safety. TheHhea1' crop Ii Minnesota, twill
be admitted on all hands; is in much better
condition now than it was year ago ut this
time, ind yet the harvest last year wus most
abundant one. :: Experience has demonstra:
