We take the following from g paper pub
lished at New Harmony, on the Wabash
river, Illinois, to illustrate the profitableness
of the wheat crop:
Much of the wheat for this season iis
threshed. and is turning out splendidly, We
give the average yield Of a few fields, and
hone to add to the list next week. 1t will be
remembered that the average given IS from
machine measure; In weighing there was

The market value of the wheat is a little
over one dollar a busheI, and the cost OF Gull
tivation will not exceed five dollars per acre.
Thirty-seven dollars an acre from such q
crop OF wheat, which, after the seed Is put In
the ground needs no work until 1t is ready to
be harvested, Is certainly remunerative plant
Ing.
The New York Produce Exchange Weekly
says:
The season In Europe has been so far bad
one for cereals, and from prospects as they
now appear the deficiencies In France Spain,
Italy, England and Hungary will be serious.
The cereal crops chOked with weeds, sWamped
by water, a month behind the usual develop
ment and growth, nothing short OF a miracle
can give Europe this harvest season an
abundance OF bread cereals. The wheat crop
In the United States, with good weather dur
ing harvest, will turn out probably as large 9
surplus as from the large crop Of 1878, and
the winter wheat has every promise OF being
OF a quality generally superior to that Of last
years crop. The samples Of new wheat that
have already appeared in this market show
plump berry and condition hard for new
wheat and color good. Whatever the outcome
OF wheat may be- the freight by both rail and
water will continue to be lew for a consider
able period, or until the production Of the
country shall grow up to the facilities for
transportation, which have within o com par
atively short period been more than doubled,
and the competition arising from this fact
will keep transportation charges low for q
considerable time to come for several years,
at least.
The shipments Of wheat from Southern
Russia are still chiefly destined to ports Of
the Mediterranean, and the movement from
North Russian and German ports has been
since the opening OF navigation on a moderate
scale. The season in Italy has been disas-
trously unpropitious, as well as In France
and England, and the imports of foreign
wheat, though liberal, are quickly absorbed
by the consumption, leaving granaries at the
ports of import with moderate stocks, and In
France, except at Marseilles, nearly bare OF
stock.
