RUSSIA HARVEST.
The Go!as Russian) says the export of
grain has fallen off considerably from the
amount of last year. for during the first six
months of 1878, 15,Sl3,OOO quarters were ex-
ported, but this year only 10, $4,000 quarters a
difference of 1851 900 quarters of 10 per cent.

larger than those Of last year, making the
balance still more unfavorablc. In a few dis.
tricts the Russian harvest is good, in the most
it is middling. In the Kieff district, generally
fertile, the harvest is very bad, and the price
of grain has risen accordingly. Farmers are
suffering much loss from the cattle plague.
