We've county;,sIo., rcaplng has already
ccMincnced. Good prices for wheat
are expected in Europe this season,
as the promises = that light crops
Will be harvested IN Great Britain,
tho weather having proved nnfavora-
bic to both spriay aud fall harvests OF
this cereal, and n small crop only
will DO obtained IN Russia. England
will DO compelled TO draw mor6large-
ly than usual for her wheat upon her
foreign sources Of supply, which will
be less able to supply tho demand,
and hence the probabilities are that
good prices will be obtained by our
wheat-growers and that tho demand
Will be steady from abroad. The
Lynchburg Virginian Of the 18th
says that some new wheat for future
delivery started in Petersburg in that
State, last week for 80 rs, aud that
Hour has slightly advanced in the
Lyncliburg market. Nearly 25O, OOO,-
600 bushels Of wheat were harvested
IN the United States last year; in 1871
the yield was about 23l ,0OO, 600 bushels
showing a decided increase in 1872.
The heaviest crop last year was that
furnished by California, which gave
Is ,250,000 bushels, while Illinois came
next with "a, $4,000 bushels. The
yield Of Observation-Disclosures the
chief wheat-producing State OF the
Union-was only II, SOS, 600 bushels,
making it the ninth whcat-gruwing
State. Its yield. was exceeded nv
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and
California. In 1871 its crop amount
ed to 100000 0 bushels, which was
exceeded only by Illinois, which in
II same year harvested $4,000, 600
bushels. 1t is difficult to form a cor
estimate ofthe number ofbushels
Of wheat that will be garnered this
season, but from all accounts it can
scarcely yield more than $50, OOO, 900
bushels, il indeed that much be OBJ
tainei. Ono great cause of the de-
cline from last year is found in the
fact that the winter wheat NAV be
rcckoned as almost . total failure
to the eve winter. This
crop, wherever planted, has been gen.
orally killed out, and therefore it
cannot enter into any estimate that
may be made of the total crop, To
refer more specifically to the crops of
The various States and sections, We
find that fattering anticipations rs to
The wheat crop obtain in California,
The sacramento Record thinks that
he total crop will amount TO IL, 1884,
centals, against IL, 7O1 600 centais
last year. But tho Contra Gazette
thinks this estimate too high by
10000 600 Lentals, while the Stockton
independent places it ut 10000. 900
1t is thought that 500 shin
Dads of wheat will be sent from the
state. In Wisconsin an abundant

'eeding well. Corn is somewhat

all growing finely.
A Detroit journal says the crop
