by the Hessian fly.
Cooper county-Wheat injured by the
fly.
Benton cOunty-Wheat never presented
more promising appearance.
ILLINoIs-Schuyler county-Wheat was
put in with greater care than usual, and
has made a greater growth than common.
The fly has done considerable damage, es-
pecialiy in the earlier sown.
Montgomery couniy-Wheat looks better

Franklin county-Prospect for wheat
never better, if we except few fields af-
ficted by the fly.
bingham county-Hessian fly has done
some injury.
Putnam county-Winter wheat is look
ing unusually we'll, with increased area.
Edwards county-Owing TO the dry
weather and the fly, late sown wheat looks
better than early sowp.
KANSAS Jefferson county-Double the
acreage OF last year In winter wheat.
Crawford county-Wheat in good condi-
ton, except early sown, which was injured
by TIE army wo'm.
LeaYenN oith county Wheat went into
winter quarters In excellent condition.
Jackson cOunty-PGospect never better
for winter wheat.
WIsCoNsIN-POrtag county - Winter
grain has been put In with more than usual
care, and the only danger appears to be-
from large growth.
Outagamie county 4 wonderful growth
of wheat; many fields fed down By stock.
More care than usual in getting the crop
in, especially on fallow ground.
Ricbland county-Wheat seems to be
turn yellow. Some say it is the fly. Some
fields have been pastured.
MINNEsoTA-Wiaono county-Wheat ex-
posed to winter killing.
Goodhue cOuuty-Large increase IN
acreage Of winter wheat, owing to the sue
cess Of the past two years. 1t has been
sown on open ground as well as corn-felds.
IowA-AppanOOse cOunty-Wheat in
jursd by the chinch bug.
AEKANsAs-Columbia county-Area in
wheat slightly increased. Sown late. Toll
erably good stand.
TExAs-Burnet county-For wait of
seed only q small area of wheat has been
sown this fall Send us men from the
North and We will raise more grain and less
cotton.
Red River county-Wheat fully up to
average, with acreage largely increased
TENNESSEE hcounty-OWing to the
low price of wheat, the acreage has been
reduced fully 20 per cent.
Weakley county-Much damage is ap-
pretended to the crop from the severe
cold
Shelby county-Decrease of
30 per cent in wheat acreage, owing to IN
certainty of yield and low price for several
years past. Rye is growing in favor, as it
furnishes good winter and spring pasturage
without materially injuriug the yield Of
grain, most of which is fed to hogs As a
fertilizer rye is considered equal to two
crops OF red clover, especially if followed
by corn. Increased average over 80 per
cent.
Henry county-Prospects for winter
grain exceedingly fattering.
Ohio county-The dry freeze has greatly
injured at least the appearance Of wheat.
INDIANA--Johnson cOunty-Early sown
wheat injured by the fly.
Warren county-Wheat in uncertain
condition. 1t is feared that the fly will take
the crop.
Boone county-Wheat is better grown
than usual; crop covered finely with snow.
The New York Dry Goods Market.
The New York World of the 9th inst.
says:
The week opens with more activity and
a better feeling in the trade generally. Do
nestle cotton goods are buoyant in price
and holders are not anxious to sell, be-
lieving that general advance will take
place when the spring trade fairly opens.
The short supply Of water at the mills
limits production, SO that the stocks of
goods on hand are less than
they have been for many years at this
season. Domestic wooden goods are firm,
with moderate demand. The foreign |
importers do not expect any surplus of
goods this season, aud SO far the importa-
tons show a decrease compared with last |
year. The importations for the week end |
ing Feb. 3 were only half the amount of |
the corresponding week in last year, being |
81, 475, G34 this year against 81, 93G, OO4 |
last year, and Sl,S67, $50 in 1869. The
total dry goods imports since Jan. l are
IS, 442, OPS against 50, sos, 757 for the cor
period of last year. The |
amount thrown upon the market this year |
since Jan. is SIS, 1873, 0l0 against 50, $780, |
525 last year.
