CROP PROSPECTS,

CROP PRosrEcrs.
THE wheat CRoP.-=The monthly
report from the Department Of Agriculture
at Washington, has hsen published. The
apprehensions Of a scarcity of crop,
which might threaten consumption or
warrant extraordinary prices, are ground
less, as is proven from an actual analysis
Of statistical return, with duo regard to
the usual average product and the present
losses of each State.
The prospect, on the 1st of June, was
for seven.tenths Of a crop, with favorable
weather and absence from casualties
before harvesting. The indications point
to three-fourths Of an average crop
Of wheat. In Ohio and Indiana, il ap-
pears to have suffered most from winter
killing. A product Of three-fourths. per
cent, crop of winter wheat, in Indiana, 10
sufficiently dieouraging. An increase of
four-tenths ofthe average growth offspring
wheat will aaord some relief and ought to
bring up the average to one-half .
crop. ..~
Ohio is reported at four-tenths for vim
ter, with two apd-a-half tenths less Of
spring wheat than usual. There is very
little prospect for winter wheat, In Indiana,
and not quite as large an increase in spring
wheat, which will give about the same
reault-half an average crop. 49,.
Illinois, now our greatest wheatgrowing
State, promises seyen,tenths of. crop OF
winter wheat. As tho spring wheat,
which is, in the main, dependence for =
crop in portions Of the State. Is nearly AZ
good as usual at least three.fourths Of .
crop of that should be expected in this State
In Wisconsin, winter wheatis reported,
at six and one.third of atenth, aud one
and thres'fourths more spring wheat than
usual, which should secure three.tomtha
more spring wheat than usual which
shoald secure thee fouths of an average
crop forthis State. -
In Iowa, the appearance of winter wh.at
Is nine aad one-teuth;' spring, tsnaud
two-fourteenths; breadth Of the;latter soun
twelve aad oneeieHth. This should Rive
at least an average crop in lows.
In Penusylvania, the wheat ,ssop d,
eight'tepths. Miisoufi, the prospeca fora

half Of 3 tenth, aor fiye per cent, more than
The usual. breadth of spring wheat; and
is looking nearly as we'll as u,ual.. > :.

In New England, except in Massaohu-
sets, a full growth Of spring wheatis sown
looking better than an average in Maine,
and a fraction lower than an average in
other States, Winter where ii is grown
