half as muar for its cranberries That state
has alrea ~ harvested an excellent wheat
crop, an.otpe crop gives promise also ola fine
yield. yo
The tobacco grown in Pennsylvania in
1879 amounted to 3lW0,000 pounds, the
largest crop yet grown. The present crop
pounds, will not, perhaps, realize much more
than the crop of last year, In consequence OF
the ravsges of worms, feas, etc, and the
short tobacco now being gathered.
The foreign importations ut New York fol
the week ending on Saturday were among
the heaviest in the history of the port, the
total amounting TO Sl2,797 ,557, AS against
SS,lS9,l 6l for the week previous and ST.
l79,6SS for the corresponding week last year.
The increase is most noticeable in sugar,
coffee, tea, hides and iron. Jewelry and
fancy goods also make conspicuous figure
Tue result of the past weeks foreign move
ment, at New York, adds S5,O52,l12 to the
previous balance against that port on the
business of the year. The value Of the
merchandise imported into New York, since
January lst to date, is SlS4 ,9S3,334, and
Sl53,556, 474 more than to the same dates OF
1879 and 1878, respectively. On the other
hand, the values of the merchandise exported
from that point this year, to September l4th,
show an increase over the exports of the same
date, 1879, of $56,4l5,904 and over the ex-
ports to same date, 1878, of only $44, 667, 055.
Regarding the situation at New York the
Commercial Bulletin says The city at this
season was rarely 60 full of visitors as Mt
present. The hotels are overrun and some OF
them are obliged to turn away applicants for
lack Of further accommodation. The great
majority are merchants and business men,
who gre making their fall purchases, and the
effect of their operations is seen in the lively
aspect Of the streets and thoroughfares
throughout the entire downtown wholesale
section. Statesmen, clerks and other EN-
ployes are on duty in many instances far in
the night; while the long lines of drays and
trunks along the river front, waiting their
turns to transfer their loads to the steamers
show that the forwsrders and the Shipping
people are not less on the alert than the mer-
chants"
Regarding the French harvests, L'Echo
Agrcole OF the 4th inst, says despite the
recent untavorable weather, tie harvest may
be considered rs over. Thrashing is now so
far advanced that growers are in position to
form an estimate as to tho quantity and quail
ity of the return. So far as wheat is con-
cerned, the general opinion is that the he'd
is not large, but that it is full and the grain
large and heavy. There is want of dry
ness in some localities. but this oi.l lsAp-
pear with time. If l00000,000 hectolitres
of wheat may be considered as an average
crop for France, then we may hope to have
10, 0OO nOn - aotnlitros
this year, of an average weight Of 81 kilos,
while the mean average weight is only 10
kilos. This would give US 93 100000 hectol-
tires, We have, beside, full crop of rye
20 per cent above the average, in fact Ger
tanly with cheap whe 1t, tho rye will not
enter largely into consumption, and proha-
bly, it will b. more extensively employed fer
distlling purposes"
The shipment of American products to
foreign ports continues on an undated scse,
and apparently there is tho prospect
of the business growing to unprecedented
dimensions as the list of articles for consump-
ton sbroad expands. The bulk Of the ex-
ports are intended for Britieh destinations,
but there is also considerable and growing
trade with other European countries. The
steamers engaged in the traffic ara constantly
increasing in numbere, and although there is
not much variation in the fleet employed by
the regular lines, yet there are numerous ad-
ditions every week by the considers" attract
eli to New York with tho hope of securing
good cargoes. And in general these expecta-
lions are realized, as the many crowded carg
lists abundantly testify. The large number Of
trans tlantC steamers which cleared from
New York on LAST Saturday were all literally
