THE STORMS IN THE WEST.
Concerning the effect OF the recent storms on
the crops OF the West the Chicago Tribune, In a
late editorial, after rather hopeful review OF the
situation, says:-
There is little QOuDb LHdb our CIOVs, uObWlbu-
standing the recent storms, VIII be ample enough
TO take advantage OF any Increased foreign de-
mand that there may oe ana give farmers gOoa
northeast wind, VIII do much TO counteract the
damage done by the storm and dry the standing
crops ana the land sufficiently TO enable good
harvesting. The prospect IS, therefore, faVor-
able one on the whole, aud the influence on the
general commerce and business of this country
will be decidedly good. The South can largely
supply itself with grain, and the surplus OF the
West may be drawn upon by Europe.
