CoLU&nus, o., April 1.-THE Ohio crop
report for April is now in press and will
be issued early next week. In addition
to the tables, giving carefully condensed
estimates by counties Of wheat, rye, barley,
old wheat and corn on hand, the condition
Of farm stock and the price Of farm wages,
it contains careful and comprehensive
review OF the wheat situation in the great
wheat exporting States, by Secretary W. 1.
Chamberlain, and OF the exports and
probable export demands, 1t shows that
we had t3S, 600, 600 bushels less wheat to
expert from the crop OF 1881 than from
that OF 1850: that our real surplus
is already more than exhausted; that what
We export from now till August must be
the squeezing OF the sponge; that the fact
that ocean steamers are paying premium
on wheat to use as ballast shows that the
export stock is exhausted; that the present
probabilities for winter wheat are better
than q year ago, but not SO good rs two
years ago, and that prices are likely to re.
main firm even after the harvest. The
secretary docs not regard the effects OF the
heavy freeze as alarming, though it may
diminish the general average some three or
four per cent.
CISclxxArI, Aprill4.-A gentleman who
has Just completed tour through West
Virginia and Kentucky gives an interest
ing report relative to the condition Of
winter wheat. He was on horseback for
a large part Of the time and far up on the
Elk and head waters Of the most promin-
ent streams, as well as in the valley OF
West Virginia, and through the entire
central part Of Kentucky, from east to
west. He reports that wheat is looking
better and more promising than for years,
and says that unless there is some draw
back hereafter the crop will be heavy.
The frost has not affected the work Of
planting, Corn is in agood state Of for
wardncss. Fruits are pretty badly injured
by frost in some sections, but upon the
whole the outlook is fiue,

WAsHtSdroX, April 1.-THE proposed
Peace Congress Of the American Nations
is not expected to assemble in November
next, in accordance with Blaine's invita-,
ton; and yet,as the einvitation has not been
Withdrawn, correspondence continues on
the subject. The only States which have
iavorably considered the proposition are
Mexico, Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras
Venezuela and Hayti.
Mexico at first hesitated, but she has re.
Gently reconsidered the subject, and her
Minister isnow authorized to conditionally
accept the invitation OF the United States.
Her difficulties with Honduras, and her in
tercst in the Panama and Nicaragua Canal
and other Isthmian transit schemes
make her unwilling to leave the Central
American States to cultivate sympathy in
Washington at her own expense, which
might be the case il, by her absance she
antagonized Congress. None Of the States
OF South America accepted the invitation,
and the State Department does not expect
them to without renewal Of the invitation.
Trescott's return is now matter OF in.
terest Mt the State Department. There is
no feeling OF aniagonism in him. He felt
that he had been placed in very trying
circumstances, and the fact that he received
his first notification OF the change in his
instructions from the Chilian Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, is to be notifying 10 the
DEPARTMENT.
