NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The latest mail
advices from Europe, in regard to the crop
prospects there, are not so good as the last
preceding report. Though the French
wheat crop is good average one, still the
hopes that it might be classed among the
rich crops will not be realized. Rye and
barley will yield good quality, but rather
limited quantity. Complaints about oats
have in consequence of the heat became
more intense from certain parts. From
Vienna the official bulletins say the CON
tinued July heat has done harm only in
comparatively small part of the empire, but
was pretty damaging to barley, oats, and
feed. Rye and wheat looks well. Corn
also is looking well.
