day speaking Of the crops in that region
says:
The weather has been showery during
the greater portion OF the week, witha high
temperature exceedingly favorable for all
kinds Of vegetation. The corn crop il do.
ing very well, aud with continuance Of
such weather as we have had the past few
days must soon reach stage which will
compensate for the late planting. Wheat,
in Kentucky, ia rather thin, in some local
tiles, but in all the States north of the Ohio.
Is very good and promises an abundant
yield. A great abundance CT hay il now
beyond adcubt, in case it can be saved in
good order. Oats. rye and barley promise
q large yield, and the same may be said of
potatoes.
Owing to still further advance in price Of
gold the leading markets are again higher.
In Chicago yesterday the advance was
quite general.
