ABOUT THOSE EUROPEAN DROP REPORTS.
The Daily Bulletin, noting the late
crop reports by cable, editorially says:
at would perhaps be prudent to receive
with some allowance, the late cable re-
ports relative to the condition of Eu-
ropean crops. 1t is fact to be noted as
suggesting commentary on these reports,
that they have been confined entirely to
the unfavorable features, and have made
no allusion in any instance to the great
improvement in the crops OF England
and the continent that the mail advices
uniformly represent as having set in
about the beginning Of May, and which
has established almost uniformly good
prospects for harvest.
| About two weeks ago the cable in.
formed US OF serious effects to the French
crops from drought. Mail advioea
Of the same date make no allusion to
anything of the kind. On the contrary
adYices from Saumur, May 2, state
since our last report the weather has
been very favorable for vegetation, and
present appearances of the season is
most different and promising we'll fol
the crops. A Paris report Of the 21sl
ult. says the wheat plant on heavy soils
continues to give general satisfaction
and another report from same point
Edated day later, states that the heat
lately prevalent has been succeeded by
thunder showers in O large number ol
| places, particularly in Lorraine and Bur.
gundy, and the greatest benefit has been
derived.
Then our advices from Germany and
| South Prussia, which came up to May ~
were without exception favorable tc
vegetation, and reported the condition
of crops as highly satisfactory. In view
of this uniform testimony from a variety
of points, we are at loss to understand
what the Mark Lane Express can refer
to when In Its report for last week il
speaks of injury OH the Continent from
frosts and drouth.
Another cable report, dated London
June 9Th, saysi Late adyioes from Hun
gary give discouraging reports Of the
crops, which have been exceedingly
backward, aud indicate generally light

'lvices from Pesth, May 22d, report
Weather fine. During the last sever
nights it has been pre-eminently spring
Ike. The whole of vegetation has been
marvelously refreshed and inyigorated
and with gigantic strides is now making
up for the time that has been lost. The

grain trade attached any Importance

cabled over to New York we should moi

vailed.
