The Relative Importance Of wheat and

The Relative Importance Of wheat and
Corn ~ Factors OF Prosperity.
Itis now estimated that the wheat crop
Of this country may exceed by 30, ,000, 900
busheIsthe famous crop Of 1850, which was
The largest crop ever raised in this country,
having barely fallen short Of 100000, 900.
not only will the crop be immense US to
quantity, but it will also be OF an extra
choice quality. II.
The cash value Of this great crop this
year is yet matter OF speculative opinion.
1t tmaY exceed s5Oo,OO0,OOo, or say, one
dollar per bushel. The crop Of 1850 was
worth about si75,00O,OOO. This represents
an enormous addition to the national
wealth. But great as it is it does not reach
the value OF the corn crop. Mr.. Medill, Of
the Chicago Tribune, who is now in Europe,
writes 4 letter from France in which he
says corn is king" He holds that the
matter Of good and bad times in this coun-
Try turns upon the success OF the corn crop.
lie therefore expresses himself with some
anxiety rs to the prospects OF the crop this
year rs determining the question Of our
business prosperity. A great wheat crop,
important as it is, will not give us business
activity and prospersty, unless it it is sup
P'eaented by n fair crop Of the great staple
oihe West.
The corn crop in 1850 produced 1,7l7,-
NA,5i3 bushels, valued at sG79,7l4, ,492, or
shout IS per cent more than the wheat. 1t
vas this crop that furnished n great busi.
ness to the railroads, and that fattened the
hogs TINT put on immense surplus Of
money into the pockets OF the Western
iaymers. This surplus money permeated
and stimulated all branches OF trade. and
quickened the foreign and domestic ex-
changes Of the country into the full tide Of
business activity. ts
It is gratifying, TO know, in view Of the
Importance Of the corn crop, that every
day that passes over our heads is enlarging
itspOmise. It is now estimated that the
yield this year will probably be l,500, ,000,-
900 els,,insteal OF only 1000, ,OOO, 900
bushels, rs was feared a month or two ago
Atjo cents per bushel, and the price will
hardly go below this, it will be worth
s'i0OoO,C00 in the form OF corn and hogs.
With Sl,9950, 100000 added to the wealth
Of the country by two Of its crops, saying
nothing OF cotton, tobacco, rice, sugar,
hay and potatoes, and saying nothing Of
our fruits or Of our immense shipments Of
petroleum, or the large product OF our
mines, We can reasonably look forward to
ayear oilArge business. The present indi.
Gallons point to extensive shipments
abroad, but not at the expense Of q decided
reduction in the cost Of living at home.
Living at home promises now to be re.

New, ORLEANS, August 4.-The case tof
yellow fever which proved fatal to John
