Condition and Prospects of the Com.

Condition and Prospects of the Com.
ing Crop.
TOLEDO, April &c. A. King y Co., OF
this city have received over thirteen hum
dred reports covering every important
wheat growing county in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Kansas, and Missouri.
One quarter of them report the present
condition very favorable; one-quarter fair,
one-third poor, one one-sixth very poor;
one quarter report the present condition
as much better than two weeks ago, one
half report it olishtly better. one-sirth
about the same, one.twelfth worse, one
sixth say better than year ago, and one
quarter say as good. Nearly half report II
worse than year ago. The season is
backward, with the acreage and reserves
about the same as at a corresponding time
last year.
The six States above named produce al
most one half Of the wheat crop OF the
United States. These reports are almost
entirely from Grain dealers and millers
who are better informed about crop pros
poets and reserves in their respective sec.
lions than any other class OF correspond
ents. They indicate hardly an average crop
OF winter wheat, even with the most favor
able season hsnceforth. There has been
An Important Improvement
in the condition OF the crop during the
past fortnight since the Agricultural Bar
eau gathered up the turns. Most of the
counties which report the condition better
than last year are those which had poor
crop last season. The backward season ac-
counts partly for the apparently less favor
able condition as compared with year
ago. The slight increase in acreage sown
will probably be absorbed by the amount
plowea up. There appears to be an aver
age amount remaining in producers hands
fully as much as year ago. Wet
weather reduced the acreage
in the United Kingdom, France, Holland
and Belgium TO the extent OF fully fifty
million bushels, and our crop promises TO
be that much short of last year, as the
spring wheat acreage will PROBABLY show
no material increase. The crops last year,
however, were exceptionally favorable,
and the stocks at home and abroad are
large, so that the shortage will not be felt
much'tLis crop year. The season is back.
ward, and the receipts Of new wheat in
July promises to be light. The receipts OF
old for the next few weeks will also be
light, as farmers are busy and generally
show no anxiety to sell while reports from
the on.coming crops are unfavorable.

4 CoHPSE FOUND,
In an LJan aOrCG Cellar Where IL had
Bccn for Months.

DAYTON, O., April lS.-iesterday the
badly decomposed body Of woman was
found in the cellar OF large dwelling
house situated in the heart OF the city. The
corpse gave evideace OF having lain on the
damp ground OF the dark cellar for
months. il was covered from head to foot
with about an inch and half Of green
mildew. There was no clothing on the
corpse, except shoe and stocking on the
left foot. 1t was 30 badly decayed that it
had to be shoveled into cotiin and buried
at once. The cellar in which it was found
is divided into three apartments. Some
female attire, a mans hat, and an empty
bottle labeled laudanum were found in one,
the body in another, and bottle that had
contained whisky in the other. The house
is part Of the extensive Stout estate, and
has not been occupied for more than q
year. The presumption is that the woman,
whom the physicians on examination pro-
nounced a young woman, was murdered.
An effort is being made 10 establish her
identity. The druggist whose label was on
the empty bottle does not remember her.
The authorities are working the houses OF
ill.fame in the hope Of striking a clue. but
the probabilities are that the mystery Will
never be solved.
