THE CROPS.
A Good Showing in the September Re-

port.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The Department of Agriculture's September crop report shows the average condition of cotton for the whole field to be considerably lower than in Au- gust, when it was ST as against S21s on Sep tember 1. The product of winter wheat IS above the average and the report predicts will vary little from 800, 900, 900 bushels. The reports of higher figures are characterized as sensational and misleading and unworthy of credence. The corn crop is in better condi- dition than in September, 1S83 The gen. eral average is 94 this year, against 84 last year. The oat crop will yield 300, 1000, ,OOO bushels. It's general condition when har- vested was 95, which is lower than for the two previous years; but higher than for prior years since 1878. The general average for rye is 96 and for buckwheat 92, which indi- cates medium crop. Barley averages 97 against 100 last year. Potatoes average 91, against 95 last year. The condition of to- bacco is higher than in September of any year since 1977 It averages 94, instead of 80 last September.
 The London agent of the department of agriculture cables to-day as a result of sta tistical investigations of crop prospects that the year will not be one of superabundance, that European wheat, though above an aver age in product, will be less than the aggre- gate of 1882 European importing coun- tries need two hundred and sixty million bushels above production. European coun- tries exporting can supply eighty million, leaving 1S0, 900, 900 bushels to be obtained from other continents. Stocks are not ex- cessive. There is an increased consumption of wheat and it is the general opinion that the lowest prices have been reached. Pota- toes and rye are less abundant than last

THE EPETROLEUM TRADE.
American Operators not Scared Rmsnfass Hid for the German Trade.

American Operators not Scared by
 Russfass Bid for the German Trade.
 P1TrsBURG, Pa., Sept. 10.-The United
 Press cable announcing that Russia's petro-
 Ieum has been laid down in Germany at
 seventy centimes cheaper per barrel than the
 American article has caused considerable
 comment throughout the oil regions. Fred
 Fisher, a ''bear'' of long standing and
 heavy producer, said to-day: Russian oil yields only twenty-five per cent. of Illuminating oil while Ameri- can crude yields seventy five per cent. The time has not yet come for Russia to bear our market, but it will come some day." A prominent Etbull' said: ''It is only necessary to look back at the statistics of our export trade to see at once that there is no fear of
 being damaged by competition with Russian petroleum. The exportations from the old ports on tEe continent for the week ending Sunday last were some eighty-one thousand barrels as against eightysix thousand for the same week last year. In fact we are shipping to Europe about seventeen per cent. more refined than we were last year, and judging from the present increase in business the shipments for 1884 will probably be over twenty per cent in excess of those in1SS3. Our trade with Asia, Africa and Australia is also worthy of attention, showing as it does a steady increase during the past eight or nine years In 1875 the shipments to those countries were 1, ,454, ,553 ten gallon cases and in 1883 they amounted to g 9,0O8, TAO ten gallon cases. The Australian business is increasing very rapidly and shippers also expect to work I up a large trade with China With these facts in view we do not anticipate any seri- ous results from competition with Russian petroleum We lost the Russian trade some | six or seven years ago when it did not amount \ to much It has, of course, largely increased | since; but as long as we are increasing ou1 exports some twenty per cent. per annum we ! are all right
