CROPS AND MARKETS. 
Crop reports are still vory conflicting both In 
this country and Europe. Tho report of the De¬ 
partment or Agriculture we published last week, 
gtve3 the three 8taU.*B of Illinois, Michigan and 
Iowa, 27x million bushels of wheat more than the 
State reports. The very uneven nature of the 
stand even in the same or adjoining nelda renders 
It almost impossible for different people to come 
to the same conclusions about the average yield 
In any section. On the whom, however, tho out¬ 
look for wheat of late Is worse than It was some 
weeks ago. Thrashing shows that while the qual¬ 
ity is good, the yield ts generally deficient. Even 
in tho quality, however, there 18 a great deal of 
difference. Most of the Bamplos of the new crop 
received here are of Fultz, ana that raised on sandy 
soil Is considered deficient In strength and flour¬ 
ing qualities, while that grown on loamy and 
limestone soils gives much satisfaction to the mil¬ 
lers. Within the week most of the dally papers, 
East and West, that havo been loud in their proph¬ 
ecies of an abundant wheat harvest, have greatly 
modi Hod their tone, and nearly all of them now 
agree tn the opinion that the crop will be consid¬ 
erably short. The market, too, proves that this 
opinion, wnich we expressed a long time ago, Is 
now generally accepted, as prices have stiffened 
since our last report, tn comparison wfth prices 
Of grain at this time last year, those on Saturday 
last at this place were considerably better; No. 
1 white wheat was $1.78 per buHtiel last year and 
$1.27 this ; No. 2 red, $1.10(^1.12, then; $1.28)* <<>>.1.29 
now, and on all grades prices now average fully 
10 c. perbushol more. Corn, too, is from 90 . to lie. 
higher, and oats from 80 . to lOe. in other markets 
the same dlfTerenne prevails. Chicago being a 
Central point, the following r.aolo of prices there 
for No. 2 Spring whoat, on the 1st and isth of each 
month, will be instructive and interesting:

It will be seen that the average was materially 
reduced by the low prices during the tlrat three 
months. 
Last Tuesday there was Immense excitement In 
the Chicago wheat market on the discovery that a 
"corner” existed In whoat, and indeed In nearly 
all other agricultural products, and prices there 
went up rapidly and those at other points through¬ 
out the country sympathized with them. Here 
also on Thursday morning both Winter wheat 
and No. 2 com wore worked up to the highest 
quotations yot reached In tho preseut. upward 
movement, but In the afternoon there was a tum¬ 
ble of fully 1)4 to 2\ oents per bushel, followed 
near the cIobo of the day by a slight rally. Besides 
the operations of the *‘ corner" manipulators, tno 
bad outlook for the crop has raised prices for 
wheat; for reports from the spring wheat region 
tell of much damage from the tropical suu as woll 
as from storms and Insect pests. Tho cablegrams 
from Europe, too, are not quite so.llatterlug as 
formerly, in the south of England the wheat 
harvest had already begun on tho 20 th of July, 
some new wnoat will be In market before the 
end of the month. Just now no speculative sales 
are made there, as folks are buying only as they 
are forced to do bo ; and prlooa there are lower than 
herp, which, of course, greatly chocks exportation. 
Accordingly much of tno grain that arrives here is 
warehoused, the quantity of wheat bo stored hav¬ 
ing Increased about 60 s,700 bushels last week, and 
that of corn about 996.000 bushels. Nearly all the 
barrels of flour, 15,143,820 bushels of wheat, 16,105,- 
891 bushels of corn, 273,869 bushels or rye, 953 , 2.70 
bushels of peas, 718,837 bushels of oats. 
The price of com is steadily Improving and will 
probably continue to do so imtu the next crop comes 
into market. While tho stock of old wheat on 
hand la unusually large, that of corn la unusually 
small. The amount raised last year was 1,637,- 
536,040 bushels, oocordlng to the Agricultural 
Department, which estimated that 200 , 000.000 
bushels more than usual were consumed owing 
to the length and severity of last Winter, on 
May 1, the reports of the Department stated that 
14 per cent, of this, ora Utcleovor ate, 000,000 bush¬ 
els, were still on hand, exclusive of corn owned by 
dealers at tho time—possibly 50,000,000 bushels. 
This would make 266 , 000.000 for tho whole country 
on May 1 . The average domestic monthly con 
sumption of corn dnrlng the past two years, has 
been 115 , 000,000 bushels In Summer and about 
double that quantity In Winter, so that there was 
then only enough on hand to last for tour months, 
or until September iBt, exclusive of what might he 
exported, which, according to the statist les of the 
Treasury Department, amount to about 100 , 000,000 
a year, or 33 , 000,000 bushels for those four months. 
It will thus be seen that the prtcea of corn ought 
to bo good, as the demand Is likely to exceed tno 
supply. Reports of the growing crop are, on the 
whole, favorable, showing considerable Improve¬ 
ment from the prospect tor It earlier In the season. 
The reports about oats are good, and, as pre¬ 
dicted by us earlier, the aggregate yield must be 
unusually large. In view of this, prices have a 
downward tendency. Reports or the cotton crop, 
average good, and there seems to bo a larger acre¬ 
age under ic than was reported oarller In the sea¬ 
son. Tho Increase is now put at not less than 
four per cent, over last year’s area, and the heavi¬ 
est crop ever picked ts expected, most estimates 
putting It as high as seven millions bales, and 
some addlDg half u mUllon to that. The prices 
for the next crop will, therefore, most likely be 
comparatively low, buc just as It Is unwise to 
"count one’s chickens before they’re hatched,’* 
It la not sate to reckon up the cotton bales until 
tho cotton Is picked, In view of its many enemies 
and tho risk of lnsumoient labor at the critical 
time. The latest reports from Delaware and the 
Michigan fruit belt declare the peach crop a fail¬ 
ure. Although reports of a shortage or failure of 
this crop are circulated every year about this time, 
while later on there are always plenty of peaches, 
If. Is very likely Indeed that this year peaches 
will bo vory scarce and high-priced. The wolf 
has come at last. 
The Chief of t he Bureau ot Statistics report s that 
tho total value of the exports ot domestic broad- 
htutts from the United states were as follows:— 
June, 1881,$ 20 ,606,915; 1880.$28,268,990; six months

The Producers’' Price Current says: -1'he oldest 
dealers remember no worse time. The Western 
stock arriving has boon nearly all bad. Many lots 
have been carted off to the dumping ground as en¬ 
tirely worthless. Often one-halt tu three quarters 
of the egg* have been found bad In cnnnilngoui . 
In tn*uy instance* lots which were evidently good 
when shipped have had the hatching process s art- 
ed In them by the heat On the way. In two Instances 
chickens hatched In the barrels have brum taken out 
alive. It was thought that tno refrigerator Hues 
would enable shippers to get their eggs to market 
without such losses from hot weather on the way. 
but in this there ih great disappointment; some. If 
not ell, ot these lines have delivered their eggs In 
very bad order, showing that they have not given 
shipper the service for which they are paid. A few 
choice Western nrrlvlng to-dav have sold at I6e„ but 
few receivers have stock worth that price. Lot* 
which have been hold here in ice house* in perfect 
condition have turned out generally better than 
frK«li receipts. Inferior lots are offering at almost 
any price, trout f I per barrel up to lac, per do*.
