The revision is in favor of lucre full sacks and a severe blow to the pessimist, for returns from the northern district are dally boosting the average yield far above the figure 1 set by the gljomers and is exceeding the fondest hopes of the most opti mistic. Ihere is very little spring grain out In that region north of the base Hue and south toward Lexington and the fall sown Is in every instance, beating the estimate.
