TIE CRoPs.-The harvest this year is a
bountiful one everywhere. We give below
u few paragraphs, which contain substan>
TALLY the same cheering news we receive
from every grain>growlDg country in the
world. The supply of wheat will be fully
equal to, If not in excess ofthe demand un
| Ill next harvest. and We do not think that
| farmers will have a better time to market
their grain than at present. The probabil>
tiles are that prices will 60 down instead Of
up:
The Spring Wheat crop is turning
out better than was anticipated few weeks
back. Private letters FROM central Iowa,
say the crop is yielding from II 20 27 bush
els, So far as threshing has progressed
Messrs. Oliver Il Hart, of Milwaukee,
write under date of the 2Sth ult,, that it
is evident that the receipts so far, the
quality yield, per acre, and the quantity to
be marketed, has been under estimated.
Our No. one Wheat, runs out by the cargo,
nearly 60 pounds to the bushels. / Last
year, in the month of August, receipts of
new Wheat amounted to about 1870, 900
bushels; this year we have received 375, ,4l0
bushels and before the lst proximo, We
will mos. likely receive 200, 900 bushels
more. We look for receipts next week.
/ to average lO0,0 900 bushels per day, and
they will keep on increasing, until limited
by the capacity of the roads to transport,
which we roughly estimate at l,lo0, 900
/ bushels per week. "
Mr.. Sanderson, the English agricultural
writer, estimates that the Wheat yield in
England this year will exceed that of 1867
by 4,67l ,2S5, qrS. and that of ordinary
years by, 2,472 974 qrs. The Barley crop,
however, he puts at 2o per ceut below av-
era sc: and the Oats crop, he. thinks. will
show a simliar deficiency. Potatoes will
probably one third short. In France the
Wheat crop will Ee fair average, but
Barley and Oats have suffered from drouth,
and the yield swlal be small. -....s
! The grain crop in California this
year will be immense. At least 20,00U,-
900 bushels of wheat have been harvested.
-he grave crop is also above the average.
THE Crops In IRELAND. Il he latest re-
| ports in regard to the crops in Ireland are
more hopeful and satisfactory. According
to the Irish papers the rain has been mos.
4 beneficial on potatoes, which. unless spoiled
/ by the blight, will be an excellent crop.
| Turnips, too, of the .atc sort especially,
/ have been improved by the rain, and will
not prove a total loss, as was expected for
! some time Even fax in some quarters is
/ turning ont better than was anticipated,
though it cannot by any. means be regarded
as an average crop Wheat is still report
ed as in spended condition.; oats, poor,
though rather better in some parts that
was looked fo1 and barley is a fair crop.
SO far as present appearances can be
judged. t1t a"fas@ ae7
This year the wheat crop over England
is something wonderful in quantity and quail
ity. 1t turns out fifty bushels to the acre
over large areas, fit to carry as soon as cut,
and to thresh, grind and to make into bread
as fast as it can be handled, and the pro
portion Of -four to the bushel Of wheat i:
| nearly one fourth above the average. u
