The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1865-09-12

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN CRops-The Eng
lish agricultural organ, the Mark lane Express
of the 2lst ultimo, in its weekly review, gives
gloomy view of the prospects of the British corr
! trade at that date and adds: Foreign account:
too much agree with our own as to defective and
injured crops, to give much expectation of Z re
turn to very low prices. France, Belgium, Hol
land, Germany, some parts of Russia and South.
ern Europe all tell the same tale, and prices
generally have risen." The same authority Judges
from "Western failure and Southern discomfort, y
that the United States will be very uncertain
dependence for breadstuffs in case of extremity.
The Express is mistaken as to the corn prospects
of the United States. Taking the whole country
through, the yield of wheat will be very large,
and the corn crop will be enormous We shall
be able to furnish England, and all Europe, all
the hreadstus they need, at fair prices, and the
appearances now are that they will take all we
give.-Neac York Tribune, 18th.

CoTToN AND SUGAR New Orleans
Picayune says it is a cruel anockery to express
the expectation that any Of the great staples of
the State will soon be produced "on scale ap-
ploximating to the production of the year before
-ub ho
next twenty five years, to see 100000 hogs
heads Of sugar and 400, 900 bales of cotton pro-
duced in Louisiana, under the present or any
greatly improved organization ofour labor, is

THE FRENCH CONSUL AND SHE NEW York
J JOURNALS The French Consul at this port
has intimated to the proprietors of certain New
York Journals Herald, <Express and World,)
that hereafter they will got be permitted to cir
culate their publications in France, unless they
adopt more becoming tone towards the Empe-
ror in discussing his Mexican policy This
Suppose, now, the President were to convey
like intimation to the French Courier here, in
regard to American policy, what would its pro-
prietors, or what would the FrencErhen at home
