October Crop Rsturns-The Corn Yield
 Damaged by FrOst-A Falling off In
 Wheat-The Other Products.
 WASHINGTON, Oct 12.-The October corn report of the department of agriculture fully sustains the telegraphic summary of the 10th of September relative to the injuries by frosts of the Sth, 9th and 10th. There were light frosts later, the most noticeable being on the 18th in the Northwest. The State averages of condition show the extent of the injury which was greatest in Michigan, Wis consin, Ohio and New York. There was also severe loss in Minnesota, Dakota and some damage in the elevated parts of Penn sylvania and West Virginia, in the northern counties of Indiana and Illinois and in the least advanced fields of Iowa, but scarcely any in Nebraska and none in Kansas ia re- ported. Except feV places in Northern Kentucky and Missouri, there is no mention of frost in any States south of Pennsylvania. The reduction of State averages is: In Michi- gan from 60 to 45, Wisconsin 56 to 50, Ohie S2 to G3, New York v to 57. The reduction is seven points in Illinois and five in Indiana. The high September figures have been ma terially reduced by frost. The loss of con- dition from drought has become more appar- ent, causing slight reductions of the Septem- ber estimate of many of the southern States. The general average of condition for the en- tire field is 78.
 The wheat crop yield-Reports indicate a production of 1-4 bushels per acre less than the crop of last year. It is but 1-2 bushels per acre in Ohio, 10 in Illinois and but frac- tion above 10 in Indiana. It is above 12 in Michigan and 13 in Minnesota, Iowa and Colorado. The Missouri average is about seventeen. These averages are in several States based on systematically recorded re- suits of threshing. While revision of the record of the season may cause slight local changes, it is certain that the final average of the yield will not differ much from 11-3 bush els per acre. The aggregate will exceed 400,- GOO, GOO bushels and may reach APO, GOO, ,O00. The quality is not up to the average. The yield of oats is 8 full average of 8 series of years, or about twenty-eight bushels for the whole country. The range of State averages in the West is from 30 in Missouri to fl in Kansas, about B in the Ohio valley and 36 in tho Northwest. Nebraska and Kansas have the largest yields. The crop will aggregate about 500, 1000, GOO bushels. The quality is high, averaging 99-1O0 being the standard. The barley crop will average between one and two bushels per acre more than last year, approximRting 5O,000,000 bushels. Callfor- mia, New York, Minnesota Wisconsin and Iowa contribute three-fourths of the whole product
 The potato crop is In better condition than any year since 1875. The average is 93, while the October average of 1882 and 1879 were each 90. The prospect is favorable for a crop above medium.
 The tobacco crop will be below an average I in yield. The average of condition in Ken | lucky is 77, in Virginia 64. The Maryland ! crop will be good. The average of the seed
 leaf States are low. The general average of condition is S2
