Meanwhile, the corn crop stands in the

hope that no such calamity awaits the

THF CORN CRoP.-There is no denying the
fact that large portion OF the more than
usually extensive corn crop OF the West is
in immenent danger of injury from frost.
The season is exceeding untavorable to the
ripening of corn. The aims are, and have
been for weeks, almost constant. We are
now well into September, and corn is only
fit for % roasting ears, " while the frosts can
not be afar off, 1t will take nearly two

Notwithstanding the severe drawbacks of
the season, the years operations will foot
up a respectable showing. Buyers from
abroad are in the market for the higher
qualities of wheat which has tended to
steady appreciation of prices. At the close
the market was firm and active for all
grades of that grain. Flour, as 9. conse-
quence, is correspondingly steady, with
general demand for medium and high
brands.
The failure of the wheat crops in the At
lantic States, to o greater or less extent,
will likely sustain existing quotations.
Corn and oats were also firmly he'd. Pro-
visions are rapidly dwindling to small
stocks under the regular consumptive de-
mand, and will hold their present figures
ruling at this time, at least until the com
ing packing season. We have no Informal

lnducement is sufficient to stimulate farm

is highly probable the crop will be large.
