CROPS.

0hio-The weather we are now eEpe-
riencing must be worth to the West, at
moderate calculation, three or four mil
lions per day. The grains which are
thus being made are not fictitious either,
but real and will therefore stand. La
Dor, has performed its part on the crops,
and nature is grandly doing its share Of
Jhe york. Altogether the prospects
were never more FAVORABLE for q year
of plenty. OF course, many of the crops
are still liable to suffer; bat taking mat
ters as they stand, everything is eneour-
aging. Wheat is very nearly out Of
danger. The fruit is safe. Oats barley,

led, is growing finely. Confidence, in
1uenced by the fine weather and faFoFa-
bic crop reports, is steadily gaining, and
although business continues dull in the
general markets, there is better feel
ing, and the gloomy forebodings which
have borne so heavily upon Merchants
for some time past, are giving place to
more agreeable anticipations.
We had occasion, says 9 correspond

annapolis Central Railway from Piqua to
the Indiana State line, on Wednesday,
and took particular notice of the wheat
fields along the route, and do not hesi-

for a heavy crop. In that distance of

through which we passed more than half
the distance has become one of the
best wheat counties IN the State, and the
indications are that lis reputation will
be fully sustained by the product this
year.
In Butler county fruit of all kinds is
abundapt in this vicinity, and wheat Is
looking usually well much Of it is be-
ginning to head.
In Medina county the crops all look
well here. Wheat never looked better.
Apples and peaches will be plenty the
prospect never was better Our Spring
is late here. Oats are all sown. Corn
is not much planted : it has been TOO wet
weather.
In Mercer county wheat will make
half crop if nothing happens to it.-Of
corn we have very poor prospect for ;
it is not more than half planted yet. and
the most that is planted will have to be
done over Flax Ioolgs remarkably well
considering the cold and wet weather.
We have had the coldest and worst
Spring that l eyer saw. There are go
ing to be lots Of fruits Of all kinds.
In Hancock county the wheat crop

high price and scarcity of seed. wheat

Oats and grass look fair but our farmers
are quite backward with their corn, on &C
count of the late season. The fruit crop
is usually very promising. :
Indianc The prospect in Ripley
county, so far as my knowledge extends,
for wheat is excellent. Oats and grass
are short, and backward for the season
The prospect for the various fruits has
not been SO good for a number of years,
and, as the season is far advanced, we
regard an abundant crop as 'fxed feet. "
The wheat crop in Clay county is light.
There is not more than one. half the
usual quantity sown. Very little corn
planted as yet. The fruit bas been Sc
riously injured by frost.
In most sections of this State, particu-
larly in the northern par, fruit and grain
of all descriptions are excellent. The
wheat Will be the hest in many years
Small fruits will be uncommonly abun-
dant.
,.NeJrdskc.- The prospect Of 2 heavy
crop of wheat in all sections of the South
Platte is excellent. Wheat and other
cereals never looked better, and that the
prospect for heavy crop is very aauer-
ing. The same cheering news comes
from farms of all sections. Another
such harvest as was gerneFed last year
and our young State Will stand pre-emi-
nent as the wheat-grOwing State of the
Union.
The prospects for splendid crop of
wheat are reported to be very favorable.

The prospects OF the corn crop have

weather, but they are DO worse than II
the Spring of 1865, when the harvest
wes an Unusually good one ; so that We
may hope the present bactvardness nay
