WHEAT.
The history Of the last wheat crop repre-
sents II as unfortunate, from seeding to
harvest. The soil was IN bad condition on
the Atlantic coast from New Jersey to
Georgia, and in West Virginia and Tennes-
see. 1t was better in the southwest and in
Michigan. In the Ohio valley II was scarcely
in medium condition. Southern New
England was rather dry for seeding, but
the soil was prepared In fine condition, and
the fall growth moderately good. Condi-
tiOns OF seeding were generally favorable
In New York. In New Jersey the soil was
hard, termination slow, and growth small.
The effect Of drought was similar along the
Atlantic coast and on the gulf coast the
soil was also dry, but autumn growth was
better than In the states farther east Texas
reported better cOOditiOn than any other
southern state. In the Ohio valley the sur
face was impacted by drought at many
points, vet there were many reports of fine
growth. In Illinois and Missouri these
were more general, and superior condition
of soil aud rapid development were re-
ported of large districts. In parts Of Kan
tas the soil was too dry for germination Z;
I'm others, as in Dickinson, Nemaha, Ottawa,
Cherokee, Pottawatomie, and many other
counties, termination was prompt and fall
growth good.
Had the winter been propitious there
might still have been good crop. South
Of the latitude OF 400 there was little pro-
lection by snow, temperature was variable,
occasional SHOWS disappeared and sheets OF
ice covered the level or low surfaces, and
freezes succeeded thaws I'm later winter, re-
sulting IN the destruction Of the plants to
degree almost unprecedented. A reduction
Of lipOOO,OOO bushels was reported as
early as the lst Of June, and probable
yield Of 20T,000,O00 bushels, which is less
by four or five millions than the final esti-
mates.
The first report Of spring wheat June l.
was more favorable, indicating product
Of l53, 100000 bushels. The occurrence of
extreme heat in midsummer reduced this
expectation to the extent of S,000,00O
bushels, notwithstanding a considerable in-
crease In Dakota due to the revelation of
an increase of acreage beyond previous cal
culation in 1884
The California CROP so uniformly over
estimated in local reports year after year,
makes this year q product OF little more
than 2G,O00,OO bushels, or two.thirds of the
quantity reported In local estimates.
The result as given below shows de-
cline of 30 per cent from the aggregate of
last year, reduction in harvested acres of
more than 5,GU,000 and value increased
from G5 cents per bushel TO II cents.
The following statement gives the details

Local urOughts were very rare up to this

and in low grounds somewhat excessive.
Condition was high, averaging 90, promis-
ing, the later season being favorable, large

August, when shedding Of forms began to
Indicate q loss OF vitality, In some places
from drought, In others from dclugng
rains, and at many points from attacks OF
the caterpillar or bOll-worm. A marked
decline was manifest in September,
when the average was reduced TO
81 Drought in Texas, Arkansas,
western Tennessee, and In Alabama,
Georgia, and the Carolinas had proved in

lana had better "seasons.j In October
condition was still further reduced to IS.
The returns Of October also included local
estimates of yield per acre In hundredths OF
bale. These were Virginia, 32; North
Carolina, 0S; South Carolina, 3j; Georgia,
35; Florida, 49, Alabama, 30; Mississippi,
a; Louisiana, 80; Texas, 3S; Arkansas, 42;
Tennessee, 80. The average was about 352
hundredths Of bale per acre, or nearly
81 million bales The November returns
were local estimates Of yield per acre, in
pounds, which were somewhat lower, look.
ing to a yield OF about Gl million bales.
The top crop had proved light and at some
places scarcely apprecioble, and n tone of
disaprolniment IN The result was apparent.
The weather had been favorable for picking,
though rains had obstructed the harvest
somewhat In Georgia aud Alabama. The
December returns, those of final product
always conservative In their unrevised con-
dition, showing 9 to 10, and In years OF
sudden or severe depression, 10 to IL per
cent. less than the real yield, were notiudic-
ativo OF crop as large rs that promised
IN October. The final returns are made on
the LIST Of February.
The returns Of February last, for the crop
Of last year, were interpreted to Indicate
crop Of 5,C6T eco bales. The Financial
Chronicle record Of the movement, up to
September following, aggregated 5,869,02O
bales, and that Of the National Cotton ES-
change 800, lG5 bales. AS 10000 to 3d.
OCO bales OF the present crop were appa-
rcntly included In this movement, the fig
ures OF last February may as well stand as

FLAX.
The area in flax has declined, In recent
years, in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, and
increased largely in Minnesota, Iowa, Kan
sas, Nebraska, and Dakota. The crop of
the present year Is about 50 per cent. larger
than that of the census year, or nearly H.
CC0,0G0 bushels OF seed apparently. There
is little now produced in any eastern state

The December returns give local esti-
mates OF the farm prices of the principal
crops. The increase in the product of corn
has reduced the average value of the crop
of the previous crop In December was 80
cents. The reduction is largest in the
Ohio valley and in the southern states.
West of the Mississippi the increase of
stock/feeding has corrected the tendency to
extremely low prices. The average in Mis-
souri, is % cents, cent lower than last year.
In Kansas II is "a, instead of 22 last year;
in Iowa "a, instead of 23; in Nebraska 10,
instead Of 49, 1t Is 2S cents in Dakota, .
cents lower than last year; 80 in Minnesota,
cent lower; Illinois, 2S; Indiana, 30; Ohio,
49, Michigan, 81; Kentucky, 80; Pennsylva-
mia, 40; New York, SO.
Compared with former prices, corn values
are very low. For the preceding five years,
nearly all under average in production, the
average farm value was Az cents per
bushel, and for the preceding ten years 1915
cents.
The price of wheat, though still low, is
considerably above last December's aver
age, which was G5 cents. That of 1888 was
81 cents. The present is III cents, gain
equal to half the unprecedented decline In
dicated last December. For the five years
past the average farm value has been 90
cents per bushel, and for the preceding ten
gl'uo' IupI ycuI . iuInl Ndluc was 90 per
cent. lower than for the ten years ended IN
1879, due mainly to fuller European pro-
duction and a smaller foreign demand for a
surplus nearly equal to third of the entire
crop.
The range OF state prices is from 81 cents
In Nebraska to 81 .25 In Massachusetts,. 1t
is above 81 In several eastern and southern
states for homegrown wheat. The price
In Texas, so cents, is cents lower than
last December, from the increase IN the
home crop. The value In New York is SO,
an increase OF IL cents; Pennsylvania, 95,
an increase Of IL cents; Ohio, 81, an in
crease Of 10 cents; Kentucky, 95, an

OATS.

The area of oats, like that OF corn, was
enlarged by substitution for the wheat de-
stroy ed, and the entire increase is estimated
at Z per cent, the acreage being %, u.s., $50
acres instead Of 81 ,300,9l1 last year.
The estimated yield is 27.2 bushels per
acre, while the less prolific crop of the
census year was 25.3. The average Of the
estimates of eleven years, 1871 to 1881 in
elusive, is 27,6 bushels. The farm price is
lower, In sympathy with the decline in
corn, averaging 2S,5 cents per bushel, and
aggregating $l79,63l $50. As the decline in
value of corn, from the average of the
period above to the present year, is 23.s per
cent, SO the value of oats suffers decline
of 81 per cent. from 36.l TO 2S.5 cents.

The Presidents Peculiar Duty.

Livery citizen owes to the county IA
vigilant watch and close scrutiny of It's
public servants, and iair and reasona-
BILE estimate of their fidelity and useful
ness.'
This was the opinion expressed by Mr..
Cleveland in his inaugural address. Is
it bis opinion still, and if it is, why does
he not act in accordance with it?
This duty Of every citizen in regard to
public servants is peculiarly and indis-
pensably the duty of the president of the
United States. The people can watch
all the officers of the government, but
with regard to very many of them it is
only Indirectly und remotely that 1hea
can punish the untathfni. All can
s ntinize; the president can dismiss.
ilas MIR. Cleveland kept o vigilant
watch and close scrutiny of the conduct
of the attorney general? Does he think
that in any REASONABLE estimate that
officer would be considered as faithful
and useful.
Was the inaugural address for effect
only Ii it was not, why does not Mr..
Cleveland illustrate the high conception
Of public duty which it contains, by dis
missing from his cabinent an unfaithful
