THE CROPS.
What the Various States Will Produce
this Year.
From the New York world.l

From the New YORK World-l
The accounts given by orr exchanges
concerning the condition of the crops
show that, while in some localities full
crops may be expected, in others only
half a Weld, and even less, is promised.
On the whole, good wheat, corn and
grass crops may he relied on in the
western and northwestern states. In
some of the counties of Illinois, and III
st. Genevieve county, Missouri, reap
ing has alreadv commenced. Good prl-
ces for wheat are expected In Europe
this season, as the promises are that
light crops will be harvested IN Great
Britsin. the weather having proved I'M

VIII DGirpinian of the 18th says that
burg new wheat for future delivery

week for 81 %, and that Hour mas silSh.-
ly advanced in the Lynchburg market.
Nearly 10000, 600 bushels OF wheat
were harvested in the United States
last wear in 1871 the yield was about
231 GOO. 600 bushels; showing a decided
increase for 1872. The heaviest crop
last wear was that furnished by CallfOr-
MIA. which gave 25,25O, 600 bushels,
while Illinois came next with "a, 2oO,OOO
bushels The yield of Pennsylvania,
formerly the chief wheat-prodnclng
state of the Union, was only 1868, 600
bushels. making it the 9th wheat grow
ing state. Its yield was exceeded by
Ohio. Michigan Indiana, Illinois, Wis
consin. Minnesota, Iowa and California.
Tn 1871 the crop amounted to Is, 900, 900
bushels. which was exceeded only by
Illinois. which in the same year har-
vested q, 900, 900 bushels. 1t IS diff
cult To form a correct estimate of the
number of bushels of wheat that Will
he garnered this season, but from all
accounts it can scarcely yield more
than $50. OOO. 900 bushels, if indeed that
much he obtained. One great cause OF
the decline from last year Is found IN
the fact that the winter wheat may be
reckoned as almost a total failure owing
TO the severe winter. This crop,
wherever planted, has been generally
killed out. therefore it cannot enter
into any estimate that may be made OF
the total crop. To refer more speclfi-
cally to the crops Of the various states
and sections, We find that tlatterlng an
ticipations as to the wheat crop Obtain
in California The Sacramento Record
thinks that the total crop will amount
to IL. 1874. 900 centals, against IL, 7Ol .WC
centals last year. But the Contra Ga
zette thinks this estimate too high by
5000. 900 centals, where the Stockton
Independent places it at $1,000, 600 cen
tails. 1t is thought 300 ship loads o.
wheat will be sent from the state. Ii
Wisconsin an abundant wheat harvest IL
looked for, the winter wheat in many
places looking exceedingly we'll. Corr
is somewhat backward. Potatoes, Oat'
and barley are all growing finely. A
Detroit journal says the crops in tina
vicinity and along the entire line of thu
Northern Pacific road are that, if moth
ing intervenes, the yield of wheat ant
corn will be immense. A large yield o
wheat and oats is promised Np the Min
nesota and down the Mississippi. Yer,
hot and dry weather for some time pas
has injured the spring crops OF Mlchi
gan. Harvesting will commence abou
the 18th of July. The average repOr
from Iowa is that all the spring crop
are either doing welllor promise, will
propitious weather, to attain the aver
age crops of other seasons. Kansas ha
enjoyed an exceptionally good seasol
for all its crops. A very good whea
crop ts confidently expected, and tn
farmers are preparing for the harvest
West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois and Indi
ana have all been favored of late will
propitious weather, and an averag
yield of the cereals is expected. Tn
reports from those states are that tn
growing crops are generally in -four
fishing condition. Bad reports are re
ceived of the grass crop Of New Eng
land. Within q month past the favOra
BILE appearance which hay and othe
grasses presented has been changed +
an unpromising aspect, owing to tn
drought that has prevailed in New Eng
land since early in May.
