The July report of agriculture is now
ready. The reports of corn represent 9S9
counties, including an area usually pro
ducing 700, 100000 bushels annually, and in
dicating an increase Of two per cent. This
is equivalent to more than three quarters
of a million acres. and the total area in this
great crop of the country, which nearly
equals in extent the aggregate of all other
titled crops together, is probably about
$4,000, 900 acres.
The States in which an increase of acre.
age is reported are as follows: New Jersey

An improvement in the condition of
wheat is reported from New York, Mary
Il M, TTa1
and IN slight degree in some other States
while small decline is reported in Ohio
and some Of the Southern States. The
average in the winter wheat States stands

In the States producing almost exclu-
siVely spring wheat, the average is ar fol- |

fOrnia (Which is not, fully repOrted) 100 for |
early s0wn and III for late. States pro- |
ducing both winter and spring wheat aver |
age as follows: Kansas, spring 95, winter |
co. Illinois, spring l01 winter 81; Michigan, |
spring 80, winter 81. The average condi- |
ton for the United States is almost exactly |
the same as IN June, or g. which is six per |
cent less than the average. The quality of !
the grain Is uniformly inferior in the Middle |
States. In Ohio, Michigan and Missouri. |
and wherever inferior condition ls reported, |
the straw is short, but the heads generally |
long and well filed and the kernel plump |
and heavy.
The quality of Southern wheat will pro
baby prove as fine as any ever produced
in that section. In threshing, the fullness
Of the heads in proportion to the quantity
Of straw causes the yield to exceed the ex-
Pectation, and may go far to offset the small
decrease IN reported condition. 1t is quite !
probable that the general excellence Of the
grain will make the present crop of equal
value to that of last year. There has
been almost entire exemption from rust,
and comparatively little complaint of in
sects. The Hessian fly is reported in seve-
raj places, more numerOusly in the Ohio
Valley, and the chinch bug has caused
Osses in many counties of Illinois, Iowa
and Missouri.
The new list of internal revenue super
7isors will be promulgated tomorrow, and
