.Near Norcross there resides an old
German geologist who lores to li ve
among the peculiar specimens of
mineral and vegetable matter which
he has unearthed and housed in his
domicile, where he resides with his
family. Of the geologist himself hut

The men bearing cradles and the
clattering army of reapers have now
reached Michigan, Wisconsin and
southern Minnesota. In a month
more the great work of bread gather
ing will be ended in Manitoba—the
work that was begun in Georgia and
other Gulf States in May. And all
through* the vast wheat belt the crop
has turned out handsomely. In Or
egon, too, the yield is abundant, and
if there is any exception to the
sweeping blessing it must be looked
for in California, where dry weather
has been rather prevalent for local
good.
The on p is now so nearly gathered
that the statioi ms have resumed
business at the old stand. The first
da) of July was the fir>t day <>f the
new crop year. The men of figures
put the supply on that day, visible
and invisible, ai 40,000.000 bushels.
As spring wheat has become very
promising, they claim that the year’s
crop will certainly bo 480,000,000
bushels ; it may exceed this amouut
50.000. 000 bushels; and it cannot
well be less. The estimated supply
i9 therefore 520,000,000 bushels.
Fifty-three millions of people will
consume 4£ bushels each, or 283,~
000,000 bushels. To this amount
add 59,(XX),000 bushels on account of
seed, etc., and we have the home con
sumption fixed at 300,000,O' X) bush
els. The surplus is thus 220,000,000
bushels. From this deduct 50,000,-
000 bushels on account of visible
supply on July 1,1883, and there will
be left 170,000,(XX) bushels to he ex
ported to countries that do not make
their own bread. This is a very
handsome surplus. Our heaviest
exports of wheat were 178.000,000!
bushels in 1879-80, and 186,000,0001
bushels in 1880-81. Last year we!
sent across the water 120,000,000 1
bushels. The United Kingdom re
quires 192,000,000 bushels, and the
English crop, which is not promis
ing, i« now put at 72.000,000 bush-
ins els. The shortage will therefore be
120.000. 000 bushels. As the Russian
crop will not be an average one, the
United States may be able to find a
market for oncshalf of its surplus in
English ports. Our surplus bids
fair, however, to exceed 200,000,000
bushels, and if it doe-, cheap bread
