European md American Prospects for
Cheap llreALstuirs.

NEW ioRx, June 30.-The state OF the
crops in Europe and tho probable harvest
are naturally attracting q great deal OF at.
tention. There seems to be no longer
doubt thatwith u continuance Of the exist
Ing conditions, the harvest throughout
Europe will be exceptionally good. A
farmer who recently arrived from Ireland
states TINT tho prospect for the crops In
that country has never been better, that
FARMERS are making money, and that they
form the only class who do. When the
weather is so favorable in Ireland, II Is
only fair to assume that the skies
have been equally benign in England.
The Paris Builstm ds Iialles sums
up the situation In the cereal market
thus THE greater risk IL on tho side OF
the seller" In other words, there Is a
probability OF q yield that will break down
tho market. Aayiccs from Holland, Bel.
gium and Austria are to the effect that
there viii be n good harvest Spain suffers
from drought, and in some provinces the
yield will not suffice for two months con.
sumption. Russia will doubtless have a
good crop, notwithstanding earlier fears In
the southern provinces. II is very proba.
Bile, should there be no interruption to the
Suez traffic, that the East Indies will.iurnish
not only England, but France and south
ern Europe, with large contingent OF
cereals. 5aa

CHICAGO, June 30.-From numerous
points in Kansas, Missouri and Southern
Illinois the reports show that the wheat
harvest there Is now in full blast. Almost
without exception the yield Is reported
very heavy and OF fine quality, and the
weather very favorable for securing the
crop in good shape The Kentucky bureau
estimates the wheat yield in that State ut
100000 to 100000 bushels, which is n
larger crop by nearly 100000 bushels
than was ever raised there before. Corn,
oats, potatoes and tobacco all promise m
unusually large yield. The wheat acreage
i'll Minnesota is considerably smaller
than in former years; in Iowa about the
same as last year, and in Dakota fully %
per cent greater. In Minnesota, Iowa
and Dakota the wheat crop while somewha,
backward, looks well, and promises good
outcome. Corn in Illinois and other
Western States is still effected by the
weather and backward in growth. The
stand, however, is generally represented
as good, and, with favorable weather in
July and August, the crop would doubtless
disappOint the large army OF croakers found
on every hand. \ party consisting OF sey-
eral members OF the Chicago board OF
trade has Just returned from brief trip
through Iowa, Minnesota and Dakota. They
generally found the corn stunted in growth,
but not sufficiently 60 to interfere with q
good crop il favored with the right sort OF
weather. The wheat, oats and rye crops,
so Tar as their observations extended, al.
lowed little or no room for complaint.
The western corn acreage has certainly
been largely increased this year.
THE SOUTHERN STATES.
CHICAGO, June 30.-A gentleman who
has Just returned from an extensive and
interesting tripthroush the Southern States,
where he bad abundant opportunities to
study the state OF the crops says:
'The contrast between the state OF the
crops in the two sections OF the country is
better illustrated By the growth OF corn at
present than by anything else. While in
illinois and the other Northern States it is
but few inches high, in Louisiana It is in
full tassel. In Tennessee, Kentucky, Loui-
siana, Georgia and Alabama the crop lis
undoubtedly the largest and finest raised
there since the war. lu the extreme South,
where il is at its full growth, il
indeed presents fine appearance.
and the people are everywhere proud Of
it. The same may be said OF the crop In
Tennessee and Kentucky. In the former
the acreage is fully double what it Inns
ever been before, and the quality and color
arc unsurpassed by the crops Of PREVIOUS
years. This years crop Of wheat is the sub.
ject OF much favorable remark, and the re-
ports from the southern part OF Georgia
and Alabama seem wonderful when the
poor yield OF other years is compared with
it. 1t is said to be double what was sown
and reaped in 1850, and to be OF splendid
quality. The cotton, though little back.
ward, is in excellent condition"
Another gentleman, vino has lust re-
turned from the Western Reserve, in Ohio,
reports the hay crop, which is the great
Standby" OF that region, to be greater
yield than any for several years past. The
bounteous supply OF this staple article, to.
gether with encouraging reports from corn,
wheat and fruit, show that The Western Re:
serve will not be behind-hand in its posses
sion OF the earth's goods.
