Remarks.— Since our last, we have to notice a rise of '12; to 
25 cents per bbl. on Flour, while Wheat remains nearly as be¬ 
fore. Corn has advanced from 10 to 14 cents per bushel. No 
other changes of consequence. 
The Weather has been very dry since our last. "We have the 
promise now (Aug. 16th), of copious showers. The corn and 
fruits have suffered somewhat in consequence of the drought. 
All the small grain crops are now harvested, and prove an average 
yield. Oats more than an average. The potato suffers some¬ 
what from disease, and also has received considerable injury from 
the grub. On the whole, we fear the yield this season will be 
rather a light one.
