w neaV; anu III L IOuI' auu the sllgut al
vance in Groceries, business has shown u
httlemore activity in this city during the
past week
In the West there has been consilera-
bic excitement in Wheat, occasioned by
the news of the destruction of crops in
portions of France, and the failure of
both Fall and Spring Wheat in portions
of Russia. Upon this subject We make
the following extract from the New York
Bulletin, of July 20:
Our latest crop advices from the CONT
nent of Europe, which appears IN anoth.
er column, affords an explanation of the
recent activity IN the export demand for
wheat, which has been partial mystery
to the grain trade of this port. The
French crops have suffered very severely
from the heavy and protracted rains, and
not alone in the flooded districts, but
throughout Il large surface Of the country.
The accounts to which we refer repre-
sents the South, Southwest, Southeast
and centre rs having suffered heavily
from beating down and from "rust,' SO
that, in those sections, neither the
quantity nor the quality are eX-
pectcd to reach IA small average In
The Western, Northern and Eastern de-
partments, the injury has not been so
great. This condition of things doubt
less formed the basis of the very active
foreign demand, especially from France,
which has affected our wheat market for
the last two weeks Other discouraging
facts doubtless at the same time strength
ened this tendency to get supplies from
the United States while prices were eX.
ceptionaly low. In North Germany,
there had been, previous to July
lst, several weeks of rain, beat
ing down the crops, and IN locali-
ties the "rust' prevailed, which had
caused ut Scttin moderation of cXpec-
tations as to the yield. The advices
from the Black Sea provinces of Russia
are particularly di,cOuraging. In the
governments of Taganrog and Nsyot-
cherkask, locusts had appeared, after II
drouth of five weeks with lO4 degrees of
heat; and both the winter and spring
wheat crops are reported lost Further
to the interior of Russia, however, the
condition of the crops is on the whole
satisfactory; and the same may be said
Of the Polish provinces. The hot wealth
er which has caused 80 much injury in
Southern Russia appears to have extended
westward through Roumana and South
ern Hungary, affecting very injurlouSly
An important grain belt Of country.
Reports from Jassy, of June %, say
the winter wheat Is DESTROYED" and
simiiarrcports come from the more South
crn points Of Hungary; but in all these
districts large stocks of last years crop
are represented to be on hand. The uuu-
,ually prStractcd and heavy rains that
have fallen in England within the last
could not benefit the wheat crop, but
migt tttuuse it injury through breaking
ihH5YIg And producing other mschicis
vecniental to protructcd dampncss. We
must expect, indeed, to hear serious com
plants from that quarter, but coming at
an advanced stage Of ripenlng, the injury
may possibly be- mitigatcd by subsequent
fine weather.
Upon the whole the course of the
weather, for the last three or four weeks,
has been decidedly untavorablc To the
crops over very argc area Of Europe,
covering the most important gran cX
porting districts; and the injury sustain
ed has been sufficient To modify very
materially the anticipations of yield en-
tcrtaincd month ago. 1t is this change
in the European harvest prospect. that
has been steadily strengthen
ing the English and Continental market,
and the result has been seen IL NeS
York in nm extraordinary export of
wheat and an equally extraordinary ad.
vance in prices Whether tie full effect
Of this change of prospects has been al
tive dsmand from Europe has exceeded
what the occasion warrants, are matters
which can be- determined only by fuller
information respecting the yield of the
larger grain producing countries of ku-
rope.
