CROP REPORTS.

W 1ZCsOOOsOOO nv WV
York Produce Reporter says: Our
crop advices are not very favorable
for the winter crop, the yield and
quality are disappointing, the aver
age yield is less than many had
counted on. From the spring wheat
states reports are more satisfactory,
and with good weather they may be
able to harvest crop of 100000
900 bushels, but this is by no means
certain. At many points in the
winter wheat states farmers are stack
ing their wheat, when for years past
they have been in the habit of thresh-
ing it at once from the shock, hence
we have marked falling off in the
movement as compared with July last
year.
The advices from Great Britain are
not so favorable. Wet weather and
chilly nights have done more or less
damage. The official returns of the
crops of Hungary report an average
yield of wheat throughout the coun-
try. The harvest in Prussia prom
ses well, especially in the Northeast
ern provinces. Is will be less in
Pomerania and Brandenburg. Wheat
in the former is below the average.
In Schleswig- Holstein, Westphalia
and Rhenish Prussia drouth has done
much damage. Fruit, beet root and
potatoes are everywhere good.
Reports from the corn crop are, on
the whole, favorable. The cores
pondent of the New York Journal Of
Commerce says: "In Kansas corn,
in many counties, is six feet high.
In Nebraska, while the general aver
age is good, this crop is very uneven.
In Missouri corn is late, but is now
growing very fast, and is doing much
better than at this date in 1882.
Ohio and Indiana are also doing
well. In Tennessee and Kentucky I
also find improved prospects. With
all this present fine outlook the sea-
son must prove exceptional in order
that the crop may mature before
frost. Corn cultivation has now
closed for 1888. The crop is left in
reasonably good order. The haying
season and the late winter wheat har-
vest are NOW on The weather for
a week has been good foreutting and
curing grass. The state of Illinois
and Iowa are very fast seeding down
their lands into tame grass, and eth
er pasturing them with cattle and
hogs or grazing them for dairy pur-
poses. | think in our older western
states that we have reached the acme
of corn cultivation. Stock growers
prefer to buy their corn and use theil
lands for pasture"
81 have been in politics a great
many years, and | never saw the
conditions more favorable for repub
licans in Ohio. The democrats are
making the mistake of their lives il
opposing the Scott law, and they nov
begin to realize it. The leaders are
feeling pretty blue and privately ex
, press very little confidence in the re
suit. 1t is so absurd for them t.
) take such a stand. Why, in Yves
Virginia, a democratic stronghold
: the saloons are taxed $500, and Their
> is a penalty of $500 for sellin!
liquor to a minor. And they are liza
, BILE for the whole amount of thei
bond for such an offence. In Ten
: nessee, where local option prevails
+ there are actually some counties wher
/ it is impossible to get drink for low
f or money. And the other day PAL
e ty of four of us were riding throug
