COTTON AND GRAIN.
An Estimate of the Yield Based Upon the
Latest Returns.

An Estimate of the Yield Based Upon the
Latest Returns.
WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-THE season for cot
ton picking since the occurrence of frosts,
has been quite favorable, According to local
estimates the aggregate of the product is not
diminished, and the tone of general comment
is comparatively hopeful. The indications
for December returns favor a reduction of
about 13 per cent. from the crop of last year.
The percentage of that crop is now indicated
f0 'he harvest of 1888 as follows: Virginia,
-, North Corolina 81; South Carolina, IS;
Florida, 95; George go: Alabama, "a; Missis-
sippi. So; Louisiana 92 Texas, 90, Arkansas,
80; Tennessee, 102. This report points 10
crop of about 100000 ..'ce Its possible
the cotton movement of the year IL mass
that limit
Returns of the corn production are more
conservative than those of October and No
vember, from the fact of injury to soft corn
by warm, moist weather north of
the 40th parallel. Corn that has
been cribbed is in worse condition
than for many years, The proportion of un-
merchantable corn is, therefore, large. The
final estimate of the quantity produced will
fall few millions short of indications of
previous returns, or twenty-three bushels
per acre. This estimate relates onlyto guam
tity, ard makes no discount for inferior
quality, which seriously increases practical
shortage. Losses from packing in masses, or
injury to soft corn from mild and wet
weather, are treated as after-harvest consid-
erations An investigation will be made as
to the extent of such injury.
The wheat aggregate slightly exceeds 400,
000 900 bushels. The oats crop is about per
cent larger than last year. and exceeds $780,
000 900 bushels. The yield of rye and barley
is reduced more than onethrd. The De-
cember report will include record of aver
age prices; also indications of the quantity
grown.

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Corn was active and
large trading was carried on with rapid fuc-
tuations during the morning session. May
vibrated from 6211@625sc and finally closed
on the call at 62Ac. On the ''curb" there
was q frmer feeling and in the offices there
were sales at 63%c. At 1 o'clock sales
were reported at 63Hc. Mr. Schwartz
OF Schwartz & Dupee, started East
tonight The boys" say he goes to divide
up the three-quarters of million of dollars
the firm has made in the corn deal. Just be-
fore leaving he said that he thought corn
would go much higher. and he was as much
a friend of it at Csc as he was at SOC. About
two million bushels were sold on the call,
when the feeling was really frmer than at
/ O'clock
INV hcnt res more active and weaker than
yesterday. The fluctuations covered range
of l &c, and the lower prices were largely
owing to the break in corn. However,
there was firmer feeling on the curb, and
January was traded at 9SHc.
Lard appears to be the weakest of any,
thing in the list of pork products.
Mess pork was quite active, and the pack

There is a stronger feeling this evening on
corn and wheat, and many predict boom
in wheat before the week closes The mar
ket rested to-day, and gave the outside ele-
ment chance. The boys will be ready
to take hold on Thursday, and perhaps to-
morrow. -.

New York Herald.
DR.. A. r. Platt, the American consular
representative at Che Foo, China, who has
just arrived i'll this city, is spending few
days at the house of a friend, preparatory to
his departure for Washington For eighteen
years he has lived in China and his official
position has given him thorough knowl-
edge of men and things there. A reporter
had a conversation with DR. Platt in the par
lor Of his friends residence. The Doctor is a
middleaged gentleman and an interesting
conversationalist.
1.-The news that a Chinese mob has de-
strOyed Christian chapel in Canton has up-
set me very much" the Doctor said 'and L
fear that We shall have terrible news from
China yet. l left my wife in a very exposed
place when | came to America, and | am
racked with fears for her safety"
is the situation really as grave as that%'
asked the reporter
Yes sir" was the reply; "a mob is likely
to massacre the whole foreign population at
any moment, for the feeling is very bitter
The Chinese government, of course, does all
i'll its power to arrest such a movement, but
it could hardly protect foreigners in such an
event. The Chinese are terribly fanatical.
and the slightest excitement may precipitate
horrible atrocities | hope that war will not
be declared between China and France for
the almost certain result to the foreigners
living in Chinese ports is fearful to contem-
plate"
'Do you think that the foreigners in Sha-
meen are likely to be attacked at present?'
We'll, Shameen is in good location. II
is little island at the city of Canton, and
contains foreign population of about 250
persons. They represent vast amount of
wealth. If the mob attempts to molest them
they can easily hold the roads leading from
Canton, think and the gunboats are able
to protect the river front. 1t is the smaller
and more remote ports l am uneasy about"
