The world was never yet ruined by good harvests, and it never will be. It in true that with many farmers “ low prices" and “ hard times" are under- itood u amounting to pretty much‘ the lame thing, and so they may be when low price- oocnr ooinoidently with bad cropl. But this in never the case ex- cept with some Ipeclal crop of limited ‘wnlnmptlon, the market for which has been overstocked. Canadian farmers have no mason to apprehend ruin be- an the London Time, after allrveyu :13 the eitueticn, declares that the price- }! wheet is likely to be extremely low his season. This has been, humanly speaking, certain for some time past the only doubt has been whether the Implum of other countries would sup- ply Britieh end French wente until the new crop came in. That point is now, however settled. The supply is nulli- eient. Al to the coming fall in prices, a long ego as last November we point- ed out that there wee every chance of low pricee for the wheat crop of 1880. 0 term of wet eeneone which had imiehed the crepe of England and ember.

Experts predict that there will been good harvest both here and in France, where the appearance of wheat is all that could be desired.
