them. by pursuing such policy there would
DO little probability ofOver-suppiies and heavy
losses. as has been the case In regard to GER
tain grades Of late.
Wheat receipts were comparatively light.
and prices are unchanged.
The New York Tribune says; A month ago
Tho most trustworthy reports Indicated that
the wheat crop would hardly fall below $50,
0CJ,C-) bushels, unless the weather should be
unfAvorabie. According to later reports IL
has been unfavOrable IN some localities, and |
the prospect is that the wheat crop will he
smaller than was expected In Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois and Iowa. But the esti- |
mate Of loss In THESE states, as given by the |
latest Produce Exchange Bulletin do n 't ex. |
ceedi00, 900 bushels, while all accounts point
to large increase of yield In the other states.
II 10 quite important, also, that the San Fran
cisco produce exchange reports that over H.
ga 278 centals OF wheat, and 1862 barr els OF
Hour from the crop OF 1850 are still on hand In
that state. In some parts Of the west, too, the
quantity ofwheat carried Ia larger than ever
before, so that there Ia very little reason to
fear that we shall not have enough to supply
oil foreign demands. To the American pro-
ducer, therefore, II Ia an item OF Importance
that "scarcely q medium yieldn of wheat Is
now expected In Germany, and slightly le,s
than an average crop In France. The net i'm
ports OF France, from August 1850, TO May 81
1881, were equal to ii, 1881 09S bushels, OF which
30, ls0, 900 bushels were from this country.
Hay, corn and oats are unchanged In price
