GERMAN CROPS.
Consul Grinnell reports Of the Off
clal statistics show the production of
cereal IN the German empire, from Au.
gust LIST, 1880, to August l, 1881, to be
as follows: Wheat, 1O5,O5S,O66 bush
els; rye, 19S,501,0O bushels; barley,
loo, 1888 bushels; oats, 295 .96S, $50
bushels, corn, 1920 bushels; peas,
beans, etc, 29,059, 443 bushels. I'm.
ports for the same period-Wheat. H.
OOO,76O bushels; rye % 500, $40 bushels:
barley, IA, 249,35S bushels; oats, a.
o36,9l5 bushels; corn, 19,175,5 $50 bush
els; peas, beans, ETC., 1,521,512. The
official report adds with some apparent
complacency that the duties collected
on the importation of grain during the
above period amounted to about 4,2S5.-
1OO, being very much more than the
estimates made in 1879. Consul Grin
nell says he thinks these figures are Of
value, showing as they do, the growing
need in Germany of the articles we can
best supply, especially as to corn; that
as Germans become more familiar with
its excellence as food for man and ami
mails, and its relative cheapness, their
demand will only be limited by the
amount we can spare. The tariff
from which the above duties were col
lected, went into effect July s, 1879.
1t bears especially hard on the labor
ing classes, except the farmers, and it
is said even they are dissatisfied: it
seems certain they are growing poorer
year by year. The condition of the
crops in Europe at the close of August,
1881, according to the report received
at the departm ent of state from Consul
Byers, of Zurich, was estimated as fol-
lows: Wheat crop-average-Austria,
Franken and Schwalen, Bavaria; and
both upper, and lower Bavaria, Moldau.
Roumania, Peodolin, Cherson and Sa-
ratowa, Russia; Denmark, Silesia, Sax
ony, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and
Great Britain and Ireland. Be-
low the average - Hungary, Ser
via, Cortland and Aurussia, Sweden
md Norway Mecklenburg, Prussia,
Hanover, Spanish provinces, Hall
Bavaria), Italy and France. The
Danube district in Wallachia only
promises half last years crop; and the |
,rop in the Wallachian district, Rou-
mania and in Bessarabis Russia and
'chleswig Holstein, is much below the
verage. There is total failure in Zu-
ova Courtin, Roumania; and only
orty per cent. of average in Little Wal
achia. Middle Russia gives promise
f a wheat crop much above the aver
&c, and rye crop above average. In
ne Austrian and Russian provinces, Ire
md and middle Russia the cropis much !.
bove the average. The crop in Ba-
aria, the Rhine provinces, Wartenburg, !
etherlands, Great Britain and Ireland t
lay be said to promise yield above
he average; Servia, Sweden and Nor
ay, Prussia, Schleswig Holstein, Han
yer, Pfalz (Bavaria), and eastern Italy, q
lrley much above the average. Il
JAMES TO STAY. Is
1t seems to be pretty well under i
God that Postmaster General James :,
i'll remain in his present position as y
the desire of President Arthur; but " "
!, will not stay any longer than is re- "a "a
Tired to wind up the star route prose- w.
tions. When these cases have been
sposed of, he will retire at his own re-
lest, as an important position Of
CHER pay awaits his command in
New York. If General G.,
mes remains in the cabinet as ~
now seems assured, First Assistant '"
General Tyner will proba- re
7 retire. He has never, it is said, been be
accord with the James administra- he
n of the department. Those familiar ~,
tn James purposes and intentions, "
Y Tyner would have gone out long
0 had not President Garfield been
st. 1t is an open secret at the de- :,
rtment that Tyner retires if James sh
mains.
