CHARLESTON. July sth

1t appears that France too soon congrat-
ulated itselfon the end Of the drouth-
! The REGENTS rains the cable informs us,
were light and'only temporary. In Brit
tany the drouth is still so severe that the
farmers arc selling their cattle at two cents
per pound, while the entire yield of grain
will not be onc-fourtli Of the usual crop. In
this country and England the grain market
! Is greatly excited over the French situation,
and 1T is believed thatthe United States will
ship more wheat to foreign markets this fall
than 1t has done for several years. 1t should
be remembered that, Notwithstanding the
! yield in France averages but about fifteen
bushels to the acre, that country exports
annually largely to England. This seaso- :,
| however, France will have to draw both
upon the English and American markets for
her supplies of this staple of life, and that
in this increased demand the great West
already sees prosperous winter. The crop
in this country is everywhere abundant
