The heavy storm on Mon- day last, it is believed, has done little or uo harm, and the only danger that some of the burley might have been discolored in 0oneequenee of it has been removed by the cool weather which has followed. The following may be said to bo a complete sum- mary of the whole of the reports: -- Fall wheat will give a mush larger yield per Here than last year, and has been more extensively sown. The average of spring wheat is not ne large as list year, but ,what there is will yield a good average crop. Peas will be above the average crop. Bar- ley will be a fair average yield. Oats will produce a heavier crop than for seweral years past. Hay in all sec- tions will bo a heavy and 10 some places an enormous crop. Root crops in same sections have suffered from drought, but on the whole will be a good average crop. The singularity of the reports this year is that no bad reports wore received from any part of the country, neither met in wheat nor any parasite bus injured the growing crops in any pert of -West- ern Ontario.

As compared with a year ago, there is certainly considerable etagnation in the North-western wheat market. On July 20th, there were iu store in Minneapolis and St. Paul 6,585,000 bushels of wheat, as against 2,674,- 000 bushels July 23, 1884. A year ago the mills were putting out more than three times 111e amount of flour they now are. No. 1 hard wheat then brought four cents more per bushel than it does to -day. On the other hand, it is generally conceded that the stock of old wheat still in the fartnexe' hands is now very small, while a year ago the amount not marketed was quite large. This faob undoubtedly explains to some extent the large difference in the amounts in store at the two °nice now and then. As regards the crop of the country at Large, estimates vary sono - what. It is conceded that the yieldelversof the winter wheat will elvers a short - ago of at least 150,000,000 btt:bele. Tho total yield of the country in 1884 was 512,768,000 bushels, The esti- mate of the Agricultural Bureau for this year is 863,000,000 bushels, find is probably not too high. The visible Bunt,'July 1 was about 40,• 000,000 as against 12,000,000 a year ago. The total amount of wheat in the country available for maeltet pur- poses is uncertain but will probably not exceed 80,080,000 bushels. 'Phis added to 868,000,000 would give a total of 448,000,001) bushels.

Stone Wiggins says 11e predicted two years ago that the summer of 1885 would be cold and wet; and behold his prophecy has been fulfilled. Seven days ago the seer who fortold a hot, dry summer might have taken the belt for accur- acy of mental vision. It is always safe to predict the weather for a long period, as there are certain to be alternations of heat and cold, with both wet and dry spells, during asea- sou covering several menthe. As the winter of 1885.86 will be upon 110 within four or five mouths it wee: be as well to point out that it will be chareetorized by severe frosts and oc- casional thaws. Snow, ice, elesh, and a meetfug of the Legislature may also bo looked for.
