THE sNY LEvEE BREAK
HANNIBAL, Mo-, July 7.-The clipper
Herald this afternoon has an elaborate arti-
Gle on the losses by the break in the Sny
levee on the Illinois side of the Mississippi
river. After stating the levee is 50 miles
long, extending from a point nine miles
south of Quincy to Hamburg bay, nine miles
south of Clarksville, and that it redeems
101, ,289 acres of land, it makes the estimate
of losses by multiplying the number of acres
in wheat and corn which were oyer9oved by
the average yield per acre, which at preseht
prices would show loss on wheat of $70,.
600 and about the same amount on corn.
The other losses as to fences, barns, dwellings,
farming implements, etc., will reach fully
$780, 900, making the total loss S500,000,
if no more than one-third of the wheat or
corn crop is lost. The overflow from thu
break was near 70 hours travelling % miles,
which gave many farmers time to save much
of their property outside of granary crops.
