The Evening Post says; The attention
Of many persons is now fixed upon the
corn crop as one of the most important
factors in the prospect for improvement,
not only in prices OF stocks, but in bust
ness generally. The fact that the corn
crop is Of almost as great money value as
all other grain crops put together may be
understood by comparing the crop Of say
/ 5000 OUOO bushels Of corn at IS cents
per bushel, in farmers hands amounting
10 $3.50 COO, 900, with say 500, 600, 900 bushels
of wheat at an average price OF say 6Oc ito
the farmerL amounting to $30O,OOOOOO all
other grain crops would be worth only
about the difference between the value OF
corn and wheat. The great bulk OF the
corn crop for this year is now secured and
there is now scarcely anything that could
occur 10 make the corn crop below the
average In the West many persons are
already basing their business operations on
the expectation of very large crop and
this has probably also induced the 6nV V ING
