the word is that the Wheat hover looked
bettor at this Unto of year. Traveling
agents in all parts of the country concur
in this pleasing report. It will be worth
the 'consideration of every fanner who
still holds his old crop, whether it is not
advisable to dispose of it soon. Let such
keep watch a few clays longer both of the
prowl, for the coming harvest and the
tendency , of the market. If ho continues
to hoar lood ropokm, and discovers a
downward tondo) 0 7 of prices, lie may
safely concludelt wino to salt what ho
may have on hand.
