Although the charters Of 721 national
banks, with an aggregate capital of
more than $3.50, 100000, expire during
1885, the year is likely to end, as did
1884, with more national banks in exist
cnce than there ever was before. The
increase of national bank capital was
about SIS, OoO,O0O during 1884, and the
renewal Of charters and the issue Of
new ones will probably increase not only
the number of banks. but also the ag.
gregate Of their capital, during 1885.

Concerning til. .shl1ttases OF Wheat
Crops.


The growing wheat crop having reached a
critical stage, and winter wheat having ap-
preached condition sufficiently near maturi-
ty to approximate the acreage and probable
yield, the Farmers Review Of Chicago Hises
complete survey Of all the Western and south
ern wheat growing states, reports having been
received from over three thousand CORES
psndsnss. In summing up its detailed reports
the Review says:
The ,eloomiest views which have been ad-
vancod concerning the winter wheat outlook
for 1885 ntast now be accepted as the most &C
Sursta The promising conditions of 1854 have
this season been completely reversed The ab-
solute uniformity of the returns indicate that
the outlook for the winter sown wheat th1t
year, is the worst in ten years, and II may now
be set down as positive that under the most
and spring wheat yield is to fall con-
siderNbly under the short crop of 1881
WREN the total product was $50, 00O, 600
Bushels. With the exception Of Michigan and
Oregon and Washington Territories, on the
western slope the causes leading to de-
creased output of winter wheat are >almcss
identical. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas
and Missouri, the ground was Sire of snow
during the severe cold weather at the close of
the winter which, was followed by cold, dry
d.
age, owing to the low prices which prevailed
fef the crop Of 1884. In California the do
creased acreage was accompanied by severe
drowth. which has tended to almost ruin the
growing crop. Oregon and Washington Terri
tory were saved by bountiful showers which
came il time to save the pfain
Turning to the spring wheat belt, the DIT
look 10 altogether more PROMISING eShl re-
turns from Nebraska show eighty enlarged
acreage az compared to last year, while in
Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota the decrease
III acreage will be about 10 per cent, while the
condition is about IS per cent The acreage of
Dakota is about per cent less than last year,
aud the condition fully equal, although the
season is from ten to twelve days later. The
probable spring wheat yield, based upon con-
Timing favorable we ather will be 80, GOO 600
bushels. The total wheat crop of the country,
therefore, from the present outlook will be
from 10000 GOO to $50: O0o 900 bushels, against
IN average yield for the past five years of
