seems to render it certain that the crop of
cereals for the coming year will DE uncom-

ions of all kinds will be abundant.
Should this be so, what is to be the price
of our great staples when the crops are

probable, at least equal to 75,000000
bushels of wheat and 150,000,000 bushels
of corn, that quantity, Of course, must be
kept in market abroad 1t cannot be
held here. 1t must be exported, and for
that purpose it can only be worth the cur
rent price in Liverpool, plus expenses of
shipment, &C., and that price will govern
the value of the entire crop Should the
supply abroad be large, as appears now
quite certain so that the wheat in this
country is brought into sharp competition

to sell at much lower prices than have
