The wheat yield of California this
year is estimated at $1,000, 900, bu.,
with a probability that it will rather
exceed than fall below that amount.
This will afford $780, 900 tons for
export, and tax the means for ship
ment to the utmost, without adding
to it the large product of northern
grain fields. The crop is earlier than
usual. The first consignments were
received in San Francisco on the
18th instant. Last year the new
wheat did not arrive in market till
the 7th Of July.

HoPs DEcLINING.-A San Francisco
dispatch, June Is, says that the
hop market is sadly demoralized.
Though stocks have declined to about
1000 bales, two carloads of Califor.
MIA hops are reported to have been
sold in New York at so cents, which
originally cost 81. The English
crop prospects are also good. 1t is
believed that the crop this year in
California, Oregon and Washington
Territory will be a considerable i'm
provement, both in quality and
quantity, over that of the past year,
and brisk times are anticipated.
Growers are at present Offering the
old crop at % cents, with few sales.

1t may not be generally known,
save among teachers and plofesslpn-
al geo5raphets, that the I hl."d

of Europe, ASIA and Africa put to-
gether. Wuile the area OF North amt
South America Is 5,3l6, 1Gl square
mics, T. lrope Asia and Africa Joint
ly contain 3U.9oS ,52S square miles;
but when We take INTO Consideration
the question Of utilization, the mat
ter stands somewhat reversed; as,
Tor example, the amount of produce
tive soil III the Old world is Ii, 0UU,
600 square miles, while in the new
world there are, at least, III goo 900
square miles of land now ready to be
devoted to all the various uses OF az
riculture. These conclusions are the
result OF surveys and estimates care
fully made III civilized and enlight-
ened counties. Scientific deduc
tions, also, clearly explain the seem
ingly incongruity of the above state
ments. The grand divisions OF the
American continent are narrow when
compared with those of the eastern
continent; thus, bringing the remote
points of the interior much nearer
those oceanic influences so favorable
to frequent rain-falls during the Sum-
mer months, and which serve, in a re-
markable degree to soften, the rigors
of Winter. The highest land in the
world is in or near the central part
of Asia. OF course, those mountain
ranges and the accompanying table
lands, wholly untitled to agricultural
purposes, may be estimated by mil
lions of square miles. The great
bulk of both Europe and Asia, as COM
pretended by Siberia and northern
Rus ia lies far within the temperate
zone and quite too far removed from
the northern tropic to reap the full
benefit of the friendly trade-winds,
which play so important n part in
the meteorological phenomena of the
physical world. Besides, as is well
known, large portions of southwest
ern Asia and northern and central
Africa are covered with burning
sandy deserts, leaving, only here
and there, small districts capable Of
producing limited quantities of grain
and fruit. On the American contin-
ent, quite a reverse state of affairs
exists. While we have large ex.
panses of, at present, waste lands,
deserts are are entirely the exception.
These facts speak in glowing terms
of the future of our own continent,
and, particularly, of our favored
Union. The hundreds and thou
sands of tons of grain now shipped
from the United States to Europe
will doubles be trebled if not quad
rupled within the next ten years.
Finally, since the womb of the earth
is the fountain whence comes every
thing that ministers to the comfort
and luxury OF her children, we may
we'll conclude that glorious future
awaits our fast developing country.
