The Chicago Times of the Goth has this
to say of the crop prospects; ave have
advices from the States of Illinois, In
diana, Ohio and Kentucky as to the con-

net as encouraging as those previously re-
ceived. A week ago there was good
prospect of at least two-thirds of crop.

paired the grain. That portion of it har-
vested has been wet, and is, in many To-

less the weather should improve there is
likely to be considerable loss in the spring
wheat crop from the same cause"
