OUR GRAIN CROPS THIs YEAR.-we have
just received advance sheets Of that portion OF
the Commissioner Of Agriculture's next monthly
report, which treats Of "the condition of crops
in july" in which it is stated that 1.-The great
wheat-grOwing districts all show a reduction in
condition, rendering it certain that the crop OF
the year will be materially less that OF 1862
Future reports Of condition at and after har-
vesting are still clemens of the ultimate csti-
mate, but the average depreciation Of 13 per
cent, and the diminution in breadth of aboat C
per cent, would make the present estimate
about 21O 600 600 bushels, the decrease being at
least 48, ,OOO, ,OOO."
As an offsett to this we are told that The
increase in the breadth of corn is greater than
the decrease in acreage OF wheat. 1t may be
placed at per cent, or about $50 600 acres.
