Improved of late, so that the wheat crop Is now 
put at only IT per cent, less than list year’s, and 
the corn crop at only 10 per cent. less. Advices 
trom several of the great wheat and corn-growing 
States, however, do not altogether contlrm this 
favorable view. The offlMal oatlmatos from the 
Boards of Agriculture of the following states re¬ 
port the following shortages in wheat as com¬ 
pared with last year’s crops: Ohio, IS,000,000 bush¬ 
els ; Illinois, 8T.ooo,ooo bushels; Michigan, u.eoo,- 
000 oushels; and Iowa, 17,000,000 bushels, or a total 
shortage In these four States of 8 . 1 , 000,000 bushels. 
It Is by no means likely, however, that this ratio 
of decrease will be maintained in theother States. 
In fact, as we have already stated, the total yield 
must be larger this year than last In some Sates. 
Views with regard to the wheat crop of this State 
vary greatly, some Instating that there will be 
fully an average yield,and others maintaining that 
there will be a decrease of as much as 20 per cent. 
Our neighbors of the Dominion, too, arc likely to 
have a short wheat crop, Fall wheAt being put at 
12 per cent,, and Spring wheat at eight per cent, 
below the average; but barley, oats and peas will 
be line crops, much above the average in yield 
and acreage; while In corn tbe shortage Is like¬ 
ly to be as much as id per cent., though next 
month and the rest of this may do much for corn 
so far North as Canada. The winter wheat har. 
vest Is now over in Tennessee, Kentucky, Vir¬ 
ginia, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Ohio, 
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and Is pro¬ 
gressing In New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, 
and the Southern parts of the other States which 
grow Winter wheat, and It la probable thlB week 
will complete the Winter wheat harvest. Last 
Thursday, July 14, there were numerous reports 
In the Produce Exchange here that the wheat 
threshing was In may places disappointing; but 
these reports came chiefly from Chicago. The 
generality of reports throughout the country, 
however, say that threshing shows the new grain 
to be unusually good, though the yield is not al¬ 
ways bo satisfactory. The excessively warm 
weather of the two last weeks Is said to be in¬ 
juring the Spring whBat considerably, and a great 
number of severe storms In quite a large number 
of places In the Spring wheat region, have also 
done vast local damage to that and all other cere¬ 
als. On the whole, we do not yet seo any reason 
to modify our previously expressed opinions of 
the crops. 
With regard to orops across the Atlantic, the 
last Mark Lane Express—that of the nth—says: 
“The sudden and violent reduction of the tem¬ 
perature about the middle of the week has un¬ 
favorably influenced all maturing orops. A white 
frost was reported on Friday night. The copious 
r alnfall has, however, greatly favored the Spring 
sown crops ” A cablegram of the 12th says ; 
“ The Austrian harvest promisee to be fully up to 
the average.” Another cablegram of the same 
date says that the French agricultural journal, 
the Bulletin das Halles, of Paris, reports : “ The 
wheat crop will be fair In the southeast of France, 
poor in the south, good in the weet and center, 
fair in the east, good In the northwest and north 
and poor in the nortkea st. On the whole, It can¬ 
not exceed an average crop, and It may be slight¬ 
ly under It. The best crop cannot exceed tbe 
average.’' This Is a trifle less rosy-hued i han pre¬ 
vious French reports; but the Bulletin des Halles 
—the best market reporter In France—Is gener¬ 
ally trustworthy, though conservative, In Its crop 
reports. A cablegram from Berlin on the 14th, 
Bays: “There Is every prospect that the harvest 
will be much worse than it was last year. There 
appears to be a prospect for a general harvest in 
all orops valued at only from one-half to two- 
thirds of an average yield.” This applies proba¬ 
bly to Prussia, chiefly, out with Its accessions of 
territory In 1668 and 1870 Prussia aow embraces 
most of Germany, and last year's crops there were 
by no means good ones—not enough for home use, 
the German exports of all breadstuirs to Great 
Britain In’80-'61 having been only 512,976 cwts. 
against 8,210,861 cwts. in ’7U-'80 and 3,337,627 cwts. 
In ’78-’7fl, while Germany imported from France 
1*3,000 ewta of flour and 127,002 cwts. of wheat, 
bestdea & much larger quantity from this country. 
Unless the above report, therefore, Is either 
greatly modified In Its evil gist, or restricted to a 
small section, Germany, despite Bismarck’s late 
heavy duties on Imports of foreign cereals, must 
use a great deal of foreign breadstuffa tn ’81- 82. 
This, however, Is far away the worst report we 
have had from Europe. The new wheat will 
hardly oome Into market In Great Britain before 
September 1, but In Southern France the harvest 
Is already lu full blast, while It Is completed In 
Spain whence mall reports are somewhat unfavora¬ 
ble ; in Algiers, where the crops were good, but the 
belligerent troubles disturbed harvesting ; and In 
Egypt, where the harvest was fair. 
During the past week breadstuffa here have 
shown an upward tendency, though across the 
Atlantic prices were either stationary or a shade 
lower. Winter wheat and Indian corn were par¬ 
ticularly stiff and were extensively dealt in— 
wheat mostly on speculative account, and corn 
chiefly tor shipment, although lor speculative 
purposes also to quite a respectable aggregate. 
Trade In Spring wheat was limited, but prices 
were firm. New Winter wheat came into the Bal¬ 
timore market two weeks ago and a few odd lota 
of It orought fair prices in this market last week. 
The visible supply of gram, comprising the 
Btocks In granary at the principal points of ac¬ 
cumulation at lake and Atlantic ports, and on rail 
and lakes, on o&nals and on the Mississippi River 
was aa follows: 
Wheat. 
Corn . 
Oats.... 
Barley .. 
Rye. 
usual of their wheat and oats from last harvest; 
and a considerable quantity is said to be still on 
their hands. This Is especially the case In Cali¬ 
fornia and Oregon where lack of transportation 
facilities forced farmers to hold their wheat last 
season or sell It at a heavy loss. The amount still 
on hand from last harvest on the Pacific Slope Is 
put at over 24,ooo.ooo bushels. Henceforth, count¬ 
ing In flour as wheat, all the unsold old crop will, 
of course, come Into competition with the new 
crop and affect prices. Last week, however, 
there was a pretty heavy falling off Ln the receipts 
of breadstuffa at this port, as will be Been by the 
following table made up to Friday evening, July 
15.

Although there was a large increase of exports, 
as may be seen, yet the hoard of wheat ln ware¬ 
houses here increased during the week. 467,450 
bushels; that of corn 321,500 buBhels; and of oats, 
93,750 bushels. Some demand arose during the 
week tor oats for the French market, contracts 
having been made for l6,oou bushels for Havre at 
G*e. freight per bushel of 32 pounds, There 
was a severe break in rye ; and barley, being out of 
season, was utterly neglected. Flour went up 
5 to 15c. per barrel and corn meal, from 5 to 10c. 
per barrel. Millers and others who buy cereals 
for prompt sale are strongly urged across the At¬ 
lantic. not to buy more than they actually need 
ln order to keep down prices until the present 
harvest comes Into market, our greater promp¬ 
titude ln cringing our crops to market gives U9 
some advantage over Russia and most of our 
other competitors; but not as much aa might be 
thought, owing to the fact that contracts are gen¬ 
erally made ahead, and thus Russian exporters, 
by making contracts now for future delivery, 
help to Ox prices for our products already ln the 
market. Heavy buyers ln late Summer and Au¬ 
tumn do not want all their supplies at once, but 
arrange for them to arrive during the season, bo 
that a great deal of the purchases made ln our 
markets for future delivery—*' option"—are 
bona Me, although a majority of them are un¬ 
doubtedly speculative—mere gambling on a rise 
or fall In the meanwhile. The approaching dan¬ 
ger of a fall ln prices of agricultural products 
arises mainly from the tendency to rush them 
at once to market so soon as they can be got 
ready for sale. Even with a very short harvest, 
this practice would be Bure to overload the mar¬ 
ket for a time, and thus reduce prices ; specula¬ 
tors would then hold the goods and realize all the 
profits from subsequent rises. Yet much can be 
said ln favor of the farmer who sells his crops as 
soon as he caD, at paying Jlgures.

GRAIN.—Crop reports of wheat have been less 
favorable and the market has been in favor of sel-

have been a prominent feature with prices Induc¬

lo car-loads of Ohio distU'ery.fed cuttle .probably 
the last of the season. Tbese cattle were shipped 
from Cincinnati during the hot westherof tne early 
part of he week and 31 li- ad died on the cars. The 
nature of the fuo 1 upon which these cattle ware fed
