The Consumption and Distribution Of Wheat
and Corn.
lBy telegraph TO the Dispatch

(By telegraph to the Dispatch
WASHINGTON, d. c., March To-
The report Of the consumption and diS-
tribution Of corn and wheat from the
statistical returns of the Department OF
Agriculture shows that 81 per cent. OF
the last crop Of corn remains in the
farmers hands against 80 per cent. on
the LIST of March, 1884. The supply
in the farmers hands last March was
$4,000, 900 bushels. The remainder
now is about G75 100000 The stock
in the Middle States is 10000 600
against $4,000, 900 last March. In the
South the proportion is the same as last
year, Al 6 per cent, but the quantity
is AS. 100000 bushels against l3S,-
O00. 600. The proportion in the West Is
36.7 instead OF 30.7 per cent, and
the quantity amounts to 49O,OOo'ooo
bushels. or 144,000,000 bushels more
than the stock of last March two years
ago. Stock remaining at the same date
was 5s7 900. 600 bushels, or 1868 per
cent. of a crop Of l,Gl7 900, 900. The
amount shipped is few millions less
than last year. The exports equal
5000, 900 bushels, against 32,OOO,OOO
at the same date in 1884, and the com
mercial receipts at western markets are
also less, the full eastern crop reducing
slightly the demand. Notwithstanding
the reduction in the price, the proper
ton Of understandable corn is very large,
s. per cent, against an average OF 81
for period of years and 90 for last
| year.
The wheat reported i'll farmers hands
is about SO per cent. Of the crop-IG9'-
| OOe, 900 bushels-or $4,000, 900 bush
els more than the stock last March, when
the crop was less by 92,000,00O bush
els. There has been a slightly ireer use
of wheat for bread, and little Of the
poorer quality has been fed to stock. The
stock of March |, 1883, was 2S.5 pei
cent. ofthepreyious crop, or l43, 0OO,OO
bushels, and that Of March !, 1882, wa

The Afghan Boundary Question.

LONDON, March l0.-The PaH-NoH
Gazette says it believes in the correct
ness OF the news received last evening
to the effect that the Russians have adj
vanced their outpOstS in the IIlliikar
pass further south instead of withdraw
ing them north, as requested to do by
England. The Gazette states that there
can be no doubt that grave fears are
entertained of a collision between Rus
sian and Afghan troops, az this last adj
vance has placed the opposing outpostS
face to face. and has taken the Russians
much nearer to the Afghan territory.
There is no indication, however. says
the Gazefie, that the Russians have gone
beyond what they consider the Aishan
boundsry-line.

Oyer.Ieaioos Germ


LONDON, March l0.-The newSpa-
pcrs here regard the hauling down OF
the British flag by the Germans at Vic
toria, the English mission town on
Ambas bay. on the west coast OF Al
rica, and the substitution of the Ger
man flag therefor as due to excess ol
zeal on the part of German officers.
Ii is thought that Germany would be
unlikely to recognize such breach of
public law.
LONDON, March l0.-ln the House
OF Lords this afternoon Earl Granville,
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
in answering questions respecting the
reported hauling down of the British
flag at Victoria station, in West Africa,
by Germans. said that in the face OF
Bismarck's assurances of Germany 5
friendship for England he did not be-
lieye that the hauling down of the Bri-
fish colors and hosting Of the German
flag, as reported, were intended as an
insult to England. but were probably
due to ignorance on the part
of the German commander, who
might have believed that Victoria wa,
included in the recent English ccssion
to Germany of certain slices of territory
in the Cameroons on the representations
Of Count Herbert Bismarck that they
were necessary to Germany in order ia
make the German colony in the Came
rooms more compact.
In the House Of Commons this after.
noon Mr.. Gladstone, speaking on the
same subject, said if the report was
true complication. were not likely Il
arise, as the matter could be amicably
adjusted by the Governments con
| cerned.

Riggin, an old and greatly-rcspectcd

dead last night i'll bed beside his wife,

Mr.. Riggin first shooting his wife
and then himself. Mrs. Rigein
was lying on her back. the ball hay-
ing entered the head at the right tent
pie. there being no indication that she
moved after being shot. The ball en-
tered the head of Mr.. Riggin on the
right side. A revolver was found ly-
ing between them. Both were in their
night clothes, which leads to the belief
that the act was done after retiring
1t is supposed that a recent loss by the
failure Of the Merchants and Farmers
Bank here, by which he lost about
