The harvosts in Europe are generally deficiënt. From a most trustwortny authority, the Mark Lañe Expresa, we have " more unfavorable reporta as to wheat in Englaisd," which in many localities is not expected to equal the very poor yiold oí' last year, aud there are strong Untits as to " danger of sprouting in the shock from th piasent oeoasuin il show _-is. ' In Franca storins have done mich damage, a;id a deticimicy of at least ten or twelve per cent may be relied upon. There are accounts of increased prices at many local stations, and in Paris tiour bas considerably advanced. Old wheat lias totaüy disappeared trom the raarket, and new is supplying its place at higher prices. Rye - an extensive bread erop - in France, Belgium, Holland and Ger many is reckoned as being very deficiënt and ratee are rising. In Hungary the condition of the erop has been greatly overrated, and from the prevalence of cholera an interference with the work of harvesting is threatened. In Germauy finlv an ordinarv viold is hoped tbr. ïhe E3$r08 sums up the situation abroad by saying that " with a deficiënt orop, exhausted stocks, and but generally moderate prospects in Europe, low prices Beein almost impossible nuxt season." This well informed Journal is the organ of the grain dealers and millers, and its judgment, if biased in ny degree, would naturally lean to the interests oi purohaserg. It may thorefore be very satisfactorily conoluded that as sellers wë may take its prognostieations as pretty certain to be fulfilled. We read further touching the foreign outlook, that the international Corn and Seed League, recently held at Vienna, formed an estiuiate that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will exhibit less power of export than usual- say only to the extent of 800,000 qrs. in wheat and about 1,100,000 qrs in barley; whereas, in favorable times that amount ík muoh larger, while the import.uit article of rye is so deficiënt that importa will be requircd for consumptivc wants. At home the wheat erop has peen safely gathered ; oats, except in later districts, have also been seoured, and although Ihe present weaiheris unfavorable for harvesting those still ancut, yet oats is a orop tbat will stand a good deal of rain without injury, and probably there will be linie loss on this account. As to the yield, all accounts agree that it is quite equal 10 an average, and many estiuiate it above an average erop in quantity, while the quality is excellent. At the tsanie time there is an unfavorable prospect for corn, and it is probable that a laige portion of the erop will be uusound. Fortunately our farmers have now an opportunity to avail themseives of the situation. Europe demands our Btutts, ana we nave sumoieiii 10 suppiy them ; and we can in a. mëasure fix the price. The surplus of last year's corn erop will be needed to suppiy the deficit-ncy of the present crep, and there will not be this Sf ason the dead weight of low prioed corn to drag down the general market. At the same time the prospects of the inoney market are assuriug. The cuuntry has made a gain oí at least $50,000,000 in the adverse balance of importe orer exporta as compared with laat yeftr. ïhe west has markeied the wool erop favorably, and has a general case in finaneial mattere. The cotton erop has inproved in condition since July. In the largo uroducing States - Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina - the plant is reportad as well formud and well fruited, aud although picking will be trom two to three weeks late, yet the estímate, so far as can be í'ormed at this early d:ite, points t j a full average erop, if not more. . ïhe fruit erop ïuay be set down as as a failure. Peacbes are coming in plejutifuÜy, but of excessively poor qiiíüiiy. Apple in the East will be very short, but alter last year's profusión thig is inevitable. The reeent rains, whieh have been general throughout thc country, have mu h Lmprored the pasi, and there will be no scarcity of fall feed. This will insure a fair suppiy of dairy prorlu ts and thu entry into winter quarters of stock in fair condition. ün the whole the outloolí is cheerful, not only for us west of the Atlantic hut for those in Furope who stand in need of our surplus. The StBte Pair opens on Monday next, at Grand Rapids.
