We give the following from our latest
exchanges:
ILLINOIs.-The wheat harvest has
been commenced in some sections, and
the crop is said to be excellent. Corn
is looking tinely-and farmers, in view
of the prospect, are in good spirits
Springfield Journal, June ~.
We had occasion to visit a portion of
Eastern Illinois, last week, and had a
pretty good view of a large section of
farming country. The wheat, oats, bar.
Icy and rye were everything that could
be desired, and all promised n heavy
yield, while there was no complaint OF
rust OF fly. The hay crop promises a
heavy yield, while better prospect for
all kinds of fruit has seldom blessed
Eastern Illinois Corn is backward,
aud very weedy, occasioned by the eN-
tremely wet spring.-SHtirdH County
Union, 25th.
ARKANSAS.-Our exchanges speak IA
yorably of the crops throughout the
State, excepting, of course, those rich
bottom lands which have suffered from
the recent overflow. The wheat crop
in this and the adjoining counties,
which is now being harvested, is, with
out doubt, above the average yield,
and the corn is i'll healthy condition.
Fort Smith Standard.
TENNESsEE.-The crop in East Ten
nessee is very large. The Athens Press
of the 2sth says: "The vast wheat crop
of this county has pretty generally all
been harvested, and we are pleased to
state the yield, so far as has been ascer-
tanned, has come up to the expectations
of the farmer. We understand that par
ties here are offering to engage at 81 5O
per bushel.
GEoRGIA.-The Atlanta &ee Era OF
June25 says:
In eur notice yesterday of sale OF
wheat at 80 per bushel, we omitted "a
state that it was for future delivery.
Cool wheat now commands in this
market from 81 25a2 50 per bushel.
Those having wheat to sell would do
well TO bring it to market at once, rs II
will almost certainly 60 below 500.
In less than two months we venture
to predict that wheat will be sold for
81 00 per bushel and flour for 81 90 pei
barrel.
KENTUCKY.-Wheat harvest in Logan
has commenced, and the prospects of a
large and fine yield is very promising,
Whilst in some neighborhOods indiffer-
ent fields may be found, and some rust
and smut, rs n general thing in the
county wheat is fine.-RHsseiriHe Her.

Over one-half of the wheat crop OF
this part of Kentucky has been cut, and
il turns out excelleutly. The amount
made will be large.-Pddaodh Herald,
18th.
INDIANA.-Our farmers are now in the
midst of their wheat harvest and before
the week closes the greater portion OF
the crop will be harvested. We have
made diligent inquiry as to the charsc-
ter of the crop, and are orCditably in
formed that there will be an average
yield. The dry, hot weather, is favor
able to the wheat crop, however; If il
shoHld con :inue few days longer, il
will prevent it being injured by the rust
which has been much feared in this Sec
ton of late. Some If the Alabama va
riety of wheat, is already in the shock,
having been harvested last week. The
later varieties will do to cut the last OF
this week, and it is now hoped it will
escape serious injury, and prove more
