The monthly report o., the Department
OF AgricultuFel IS pubiished. Apprehen-
siOns Of q scarcity Of crops which might
threaten compulsory economy of consump-
ton, or warrant extraordinary prices are
grOundless- From an actual analysis of
statistical returns with due regard to the
usual average Of The product and present
losses of each State, the prospect on the 1st
day of June was for seven-tenths of a crop.
With favorable weather and the absence
from casualties before. harvesting the in
dications point to three -foufths Of an aver
age. The total fields of wheat in
Ohio and Indians appears to have
suffered most from winter killing the pros
wheat. Af
In Indiauait is sufficiently discourag-
ing. An increase of four-tenths of the
average growth Of spring wheat will afford
some relief and ought to bring up the aver
age to half crop. L1E -9uIt eat
Ohio is reported at fOur-tenths for winter
wheat, with two and a half-tenths more for
spring wheat than usual, with very little
prospect for winter wheat c-T
J In Indiana there is not quito so large an
increase Of spring wheat, but It will give
about the same result. -L-.
Illinois, now our greatest wheat growing
State promises seVen-tenths Of s crop Of
winter wheat. As sprlng wheat which is
the main dependence Of crop, in portions
Of the State is nearly as good as usual, at
least three -fourths of a crop Of that should
be expected in this State. In Wisconsin the
winter wheat is reported at six and one
third tenth, with one knd tkree-fourths
more spring wheat than usual, which should
secure three fourths Of an average crop for
this state. In Iowa the appearance of win
ter wheat is nine-ten tbs, ,-sP7ing ten and
three fourths -tenths. Tho breadth of the
latter sown is twefve and one-eighth. This
should give eatleastanavsrsge crop fer Iowa.
IN Pennsyiysnis the wheat crop is eight
tenths; the Missouri prospect for full crop
of winter wheat is reported with one-half Of
a tenth, or five per cent more than the
usual yield Of spring wheat, looking nearly
as well as usual at this season of the year;
Kentucky is five and two-thifds of a tenth
Michigan seven 0ne-half of a tenth Min
nesota ten and fYe-eights of tenth for
winter, and nine and one-tenth for spring
wheat Kansas, fourteen and three-tenths
for winter, and tWelye-tenths for spring
wheat. In New England, except in Massa-
chusetts, q full growth Of spring wheat is
sown, looking better than an average in
Maine, and fraction lower than an aver
age in other States. Winter wheat, where
It is grown at all, has suffered to an extent
Connecticut three-tenths. New Jersey is
placed in the same list with New York and
Pennsyivanis, at eight-tenths. and Della
ware Maryland and West Virginia will
each average about six-tenths- The section
west of the Mississippi, comprising Iowa,
Minnesota, Missouri and Kansas, taken to-
gether, promise more than an average crop
of wheat l..-.F,. ~ ft,,,--
Clover.-More clover was sown than usual
and it is reported in a full average eOndi-
ton In Delaware and Missouri the appear
anee is worse, though the increased average
will make up the deficiency. Maryland,
New Jersey, Massachusetts,, New Hampshire,
Illinois and Kansas fall little below the
average. Maine, thirteen and one-sixth Of
a tenth.
a6fs IOr INC many Aas- Hft, been favor
falling off is observed in the eo1dItion g
pastures except in the states bey0nG IH5
Mississippi river. l L7
Maple sugar and molasses will average
none and three quarters Of tenth New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Delaware
tsn-tsnths the other New England States
ten and q quarter tenths !; the Middle and
Western States from seven to nine -tenths.
Sheep-Sheep took the field this spring
in better condition than usual. In some
places neglect, and consequently disease
and death, are reported, arising from de-
preciation in the price Of wool.
Fruit-A medium crop Of apples is indi-
Gated, though there is variation in the
appearance in different localities. In New
England and the extreme West the prospect
is better than usual IN the Central States
worse Peaches have suffered from winter
killing in Ohio; scarcely third Of a crop
is ex sected in New Jersey; less than half
a crop in Delaware, and about sixtenths in
Maryland.
The Senate have generally agreed, with
little discussion, to the amendments pro-
posed by the Committee on Finance to the
Tax bill. They have been three days on
the bill, and it is probable they will finish
their action upon it tomorrow.
