ty-two stand above the average, and twenty
three below. Of sixty-four counties in Mis-.
souri, the condition of corn is above the aver
age in sixteen, and below in twenty-five. Of
thirty.six counties in Kansas, eight only send
figures less than 100. In Iowa, where the cool
and cloudy weather generally prevailed in the
spring, followed by changeable weather, and
in some sections heavy rains, only two reports
of counties are above 100; and in Ohio, where
the drought has been severe, but three reports
out of forty.fye give figures higher than 100.
The States making returns higher than 100
are: Vermont 1Ol, North Carolina, 1Ol, Al
ALBANIA 115, Mississippi 110, Louisiana ll9,

An Improvement in the condition Of wheat
is reported from New York, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Michigan, Missouri and Kansas, and to
a slight degree in some other States, while
small decline is reported in Ohio and in some
of the Southern States. The averages in the

The average condition for the United States
is almost exactly the came as in June, or "a,
which is six per cent less than the average.
The quality of the grain is uniformly superior
in the Middle States. In Ohio, Michigan and
Missouri, and wherever inferior condition is
reported, the straw is short, but the heads are
generally long and we'll filled and the kernel
plump and heavy. The quality of Southern
wheat will probably prove as fine as any ever
produced in that section. In the spring quail
tiles, the fullness of the heads in proportion to
the quantity of straw causes the yield to ex;
ceed the expectation, and may 60 for the off,
set of the small decrease in reported condition.
1t is quite probable that the general excellence
of the grain will make the crop Of equal value
with that of last year. There has been almost
an entire exemption from rust, and compare
lively little complaint of insects. The Hes
sian fly is reported in several places. more nu,
merously in the Ohio Valley, and the chinch
bug has caused losses in many counties of llli-
nois, Iowa and Missouri.
