We arrive at the conclusion that in the West
we are certain of good crops OF wheat, oats and
hay, and taking the three together, the yield
IS larger than last year. In addition 10 this,

IL view of these facts it is worth while to
consider that prices of breadstuffs in England

unusually low, and the present prospects are
cot favorable to any change for the better in

ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF NEWSPAPERS
The New York Times, Tribune and World
have advanced the price Of their papers from
three 10 four cents per copy, and the subscrip-
ton price from ss to $40 per annum. The
Tribune, in making the announcement, says:
"An the materials used in the publication o.
a newspaper have largely advanced in price
within the last few months. The white paper
on which we print the daily Tribune costs
more than We receive from the sale Of the
printed sheet, and every additional demand tor
the paper is somuch added loss. We are there
fore compelled to advance the price Of this pa.
per- which from and after to- morrow, July 81.
will be fer single copy, cents, or, where de-
livered in thecity by carriers "a cents q week
The mail subscribers to the Daily will be
charged $40 per annum."
The Times thus announces its advance in
price
Prom and after to- morrow, Thursday morn
ing, July 81, until further notice, the price of
the New York Times will be cents for each
single copy. This increase is rendered abso-
lutely necessary by the enormous and constant
advance in the price Of white paper, and in
manufacture of newspaper. 1t is intended
only 70 meet e. temporary difficulty, and we
hope il will not be of long continuance"
We doubt not that the newspapers through
