Ohio is reported at four-tenths for wiz
wheat. with two and half-tenths less
spring wheat than usual A very little be-
ter prospect for winter wheat than indian
and not quite as large an increase Of srv:
which will give about the same result ha
an average crop. Illinois. now our create
wheat growing State, promises seven tenth
of crop of winter wheat. As the sprir
wheat which is the main dependence for 3.
crop in some portions of the State, is nea:. !.
as good as usual, at least three-forths Of 3
crop of that should be expected in this State.
In Wisconsin the winter wheat is reported
at six and one-third- d-tenths. with one anC
three-fourths more of spring wheat than
sual which should secure three fourth of an
average crop for this State. In Iowa the
appearance of winter wheat is nine .tenths,
and spring, ten and three -fourth-teEths,
breadth of the latter sown, twelve and one
eight. This should give at least all average
crop for Iowa.
In Pennsylvania the wheat CROP is eight,
tenths. In Missouri the propect for tu!l
halftenth or five per cent. more than the
usual breadth of spring wheat looking
nearly As well as usual at this season of th:
year: Kentucky is reported at five an3
two-hirds Of tenth. Michigan seven and
a half of tenth. MINI sofa ten and FIVE
eights of tenth fer winter wheat and nine
tenths for spring wheat. Kansas fourteen
and one-third Of a tenth for winter and
twelve-tcnths for spring wheat In Ner
England, except in Massachusetts,, a full
growth Of spring wheat is sown, looking bet
ter than an average in Maine, and iractleH
lower than an average in other States
Winter wheat when it is grown at all has
suffered to an extent of one and two-tenths,
and in Vermont and Connecticut three
lenths New Jersey is placed in the same
list with New York and Pennsylvania at
eight-tentfs, and Delaware, Mary land and
West Virginia will each average about six
tenths The section west of the Mississippi,
comprising Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and
Kansas, taken together, promises more than
an average crop of wheat and clover. More
clover was sown than usual, and it is report.
ed in full average condition.
In Delaware and Missouri the appearance
is worst, 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
tenth. Pasture returns have not been
favorable for the dairy interests A very
general falling off is observed in the condl..
tion of pastures except in the States beyond
the Mississippi.
Maple sugar and molasses will average
nine and three quarters of a tenth. New
Hampshire, Massachusetts and Delaware5
ten-tenths. The other New England States
nine and one fourth of tenth. The Mid
die and Western States from seven to nine
.tenths.
Sheep took the field this spring in better
condition than usual In some places neg
lect, and consequent disease and death, are
reported.
Fruit--A medium crop OF apples is indi-
Gated, though there is variation in the ap-
pearance in different localities in New Eng
land and the extreme West. The prospect
is better than usual in the Central States.
Peaches have suffered from winter. killing
generally In Ohio scarcely third of a
crop is expected, in New Jersey less thar
half crop; in Delaware and Maryland

The Senate have generally agreed, with
little discussion, to the amendments pre-
posed by the Committee on Finance to the
Tax Bill. They have been three days on
the the bill, and it is probable they will
finish their action upon it tomorrow
There have been previous statements rela-
tive to the delivery By the Treasury Depart
nrent Of bonds belonging to banks Of New
Orleans and other parties to the State Au-
nitor, in whose charge they were at the
time of their capture by General Sheridan,
during the letter part of the war. All that
have been identified, amounting to over
four millions, have been transferred by the
Department to the parties owning them
There yet remains in the keeping of the
Treasury between two and three hundred
thousand dollars worth of these bonds,
awaiting their proper owners.
