WASHINGTON, Oct. l2.-The October corn
report of the department Of agriculture
fully sustains the telegraphic summary of
the 10th of Sc ptember, as to injuries by
frosts of the 9Th, 9th and 10th of Septem-
Der. There were light frosts later, the
most noticeable being on the 18th in the
northwestern states. The average conli-
ton shows the extent of the injury, which
was greatest.in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio
and New York. There was
also severe loss in Minnesota and
Dakota, and some damage in
elevated portions of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia, in the northern counties of
Indiana and Illinois, and in the least ad-
vanced fields of Iowa, but scarcely any in
Nebraska and none in Kansas is reported.
Except few places in Northern Kentucky
and Missouri, there is no mention of frosts
in any states south of Pennsylvania. The
reduction in state averages is: Michigan.
from 60 to 55; Wisconsin, from 56 to Sc;
Ohio, from 80 to 63; New York, from II to
81. The reduction is seven per cent. in Il
linois and five in Indiana. The high Sep
! TENDER figures have been materially re-
| duced by frosts. The condition from
| drought has become more apparent,
causing slight re iuction on September
| in many southern states. The average
| condition for the entire field is rs, six
per cent less than on the first Of Septem-
| Der, four from fro It in the north sec.
tion and two from drought on tho Atlantic

of 1882, and while there is four per cent
increase in area, it IS twenty-one points
lower than the Octob average of She cen.
