CRicAAO, Aug. 2.—As the wheat-crop of 1578 is now attracting general attention, the follow- {ug facts may be of intercat: [he winter-wheat crop of the Uniteil States outside of California 1806 per cent of our whole erop; the fucreased acreage of 1578 I8 one-quarter, or 1634 per cent, The average yleld for teu yenrs haa been cleven bushels per nere; this year it fa sixteen bushels, or 3744 per cent fncrease, which is a total ol 120, or a crop of winter wheat alone of 20 per cent over an average crop of Loth winter and spriug wheat. For the crop of spring wheat for 1878 we will take thd staternents of the short-crop theorists os a basis, with $4 per cent aa the usual prapurtion of spring wheat, and one-quar- ter incrense of acreage In 187, is 834 per cent, or total ot 4244 per cent. We wilt now allow, for argument, that onchalt of the spring-wheat crop 1s danmaged wrnr cent, which plves us 83 as nel per cent of the spriugavheat crop, or a total result of both winter and spring wfi:m ot 152, or 52 per ccnt above an average crop, To the Edvor of ‘Ths Tribune, Cuicaao, Aug. 2.—The hiead of & promincnt coucern In this city, at presont making a tour throuch the winter-whent districts, writes ns follows: “Doalers in Northern fndian, Ohln, and Michigan agree in the statement that the yleld there does not come up to the antfeipa. tiuns; the straw was (mmense, and looked like & tremendous crop, but the hiead was not equal to the promise. Thoy therefore put the eutire winter-wheat crop us not over that of 1877, and this, with adefieit of from U5 tol40 per cent on thespring wieatcrop, would make prescut priccs seem moderata enough, B ILLINOIS, Spectal Dispatchesto Toe Tridune.
