the reported condition Of the crop al
ready harvested and shrashed, that the
aggregate will vary little from 500. Co.,
900 bushels. Reports OF much higher
figures are sensational and misleading
and utterly unworthy of credence.
The general average condition when
harvested is 9S, against 50 last year.
The condition is almost Identical with
that reported in September. 1879 (the
census crop), which yielded thirteen
bushels per acre. The wheat states in
highest condition are California, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ken
tucly, Tennessee, and Oregon. These
with some ofmrnot production, show
figures higher than the general average,
Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas standing
at oS, Ohio and Michigan at e6, In.
diana at "a, and Illinois at So. The
eastern and southern states range from
81 in Mississippi to 1903 In Maine.

than in airy September since 1880.
The general average IS ga. 1t was 81
last September, So in 1852, and 60 in
1881. l. promises to produce an
average yield of 26 bushels for the en-.

The oats crop averages 4 yield pei

countries need 100000 900 bushels
above their production. European
countries exporting can supply 10000

obtained from other continents. Stocks
are not excessive. There is increased
consumption of wheat, and it is the
general opinion that lowest prices have
been reached. Potatoes and rye are
less abundant than last year.
