II seems from the general crop reports
from the country at large, that the wheat
crop of 1873 is large increase over that of
1872. Wheat opens in the West at Sl.20, a
lower price than last year, and flour is in
proportion. Old wheat is now selling in
Ohio at S1.40 and Sl.45 per bushel. The
corn, oats and hay crops are likewise heavy
in the agricultural regions of the North.

THE CHRONICLE some weeks ago urged
upon the people of East Tennessee the i'm
portance of saving all the blackberries
they could, as the failure of the fruit crop
would render all other resources of the
farmer very important We are glad TO
hear that such suggestions have done
good. The Jonesboro' Flag says; Every
body who can raise a bucket or basket,
and who has no other occupation to en-
gage their attention seems to be turning
their attention to blackb erries and they
are being dried, preserved, iellied, wined,
jammed, and,.in fact are going throughsall
the ramitications of blackberry uses, and
we are glad to see it. Nothing should be
allowed to go to waste that can be usefully

THE BALTIMORE FIRE.

The great cities of America are one by
one having their visitation from the fire
fiend. First Chicago, then Boston, and now
Baltimore. The first was the most dsas-
trous. Boston in her two large fires lost
heavily. According to the information at
hand at the time we write, the Baltimore
fire, though intlicting heavy losses, does
not compare with the great confla-
grations preceding it. The fire depart
ment of Boston has since been reorganized
on a more economical and efficient bas is,
and it is believed it is now better prepared
than ever before to contend with the
dreaded fiend. We know but little about
the Baltimore fire department, but judy
ing from the character of the buildings re-
ported as burned, the department must be
efficient.
