B. Montgomery Of Oregon, who has just
landed, says: "The crop failure in
Europe is general and distress is sure
to follow. I was all over Germany and

bushels, as that empire generally pro-
duces about 24O, 900, 900 bushels of rye,
and about 80, 1000, 900 bushels of wheat.

wheat will sell materially above the
present rates, on account OF the great
demand in Europe.
