has heretofore been stated, the agricultural bu-
reau, in summing up its August returns, re-
marks that the wheat yield for the entire coun-
try will probably be little in excess OF 5OOOO,
00J, bushels: but that those estimates which
place the yield much above that figure are
wholly unwari anted by facts and calculated 70
induce farmers TO part with their wheat at less
than its real value. Commenting upon this, the
Price Current of Cincinnati, says that on the
10th of July, taking the best data available, ~
estimated the total yield at SI3oUOOV Dus hee

he largely exceeded" The Price Current makes
no new figures but contents itself with state
ment of this general conclusion, preierflng &c
wait for more complete data before making
dsfnite estimate. The Commercial Bulletin, OF
New York, still adheres TO Its high estimate oil
not less than QUO 10 v bushels, ana declares
that ali the later returns FROM localities wher,
