ing OF crop prospects, concludes as
follows:
At the present advanced stage OF the sea-
estimate Of the growing crops. From a
pretty close examination of our various
exchanges ON this subject, we have arrived
At the conclusion that the grain crop, Ia
king the entire country, is large one
some Of he Western states report an enor-
nous yield OF wheat, and while In this sec
tion, I'm Tennessee, and some other. parts
of the south the yield has been cut of by
adverse circumstances from one half Ia
almost nothing; upon the whole, we shall
probably reap n full average crop. Corn is
promising everywhere. In tile eastern and
middle states, the hay crop has been in
jured b. dry weather. Potatoes in some
Of the Western States have been greatly
damaged by the ravagcs of tho potatoe
hug, In other sections they are reported
good. latest reports give gloomy accounts
of the crlp prospects In England and upon
the continent, a large export demand from
this country will probably be the result.
The reports of the growing tobacco are very
meager, and we conclude, Il has as yet suf-
fercd oserious disaster. In cotton large
decrease in the total product anticipated.
The spring was cold aud wet, preventing
the usual planting, and IN eight nj the
southern States the planting IL said to
have alls short of last year at least l.0OO,-
on OF acres, and Ihtwhich is growing is
backw and upromising. The pork crop
will probably he large.
