will be taken, and the President will accept
his resignation with great regret, as MIR.

DEMOCRATIC members Of the Ways and
Means Committee express the opinion,
based upon the department estimates, that
the new tariff bill will effect a reduction be-
tween S22, 2,OOO,OOO and $2l.OoO,O00 in the
revenue of the Government. A loss Of
S3,Go0,0 900 is expected as a result Of placing
wool on the free list, of Sll 100000 on
WOODEN products, and Of S5,000,000 on
sugar. In cotton and wooden cloths the
principal reduction of duty has been made
on the coarse, and very little or no change
has been made in the finer qualities, such
as lace, etc. Before the measure is reported
TO the House the clause placing fish on the
free list will probably be qualified with a
proviso excepting Canadian fish, SO long as
Canada refuses to accord the fishermen Of

THE CROP REPORT.
The Yield Comes Up to tho Average
The Prospects for Corn Improved.

The Prospects Tor Corn improved
The report Of the department OF agricul-
ture for October gives local estimates Of
yield per acre Of small grains, with condi-
ton Of corn, potatoes, and other late crops.
The results corroborate the previous re-
turns Of wheat, confirming expectations of
slight increase from the first records of
threshing, without making any very ma
terial addition to the crop aggregate. The
average yield upon an area of fully 81
OOO,OOO acres appears to be close to 12i
bushels per acre, making the crop an aver
age OF q series OF years. The area actually
harvested Is now the principal object Of
exact determination. The result will vary
little from an increase Of 100000 900 bush
els over the crop OF last year. The state
averages OF principal states are New York,
II bushels Pennsylvania, 10; Kentucky,
ll.5; Ohio, 1871 Michigan, 1913; Indiana,
l5.1 Illinois, 1871 Wisconsin, 1913; Min
nesota, 1876; Iowa, 12 o.; Missouri, 1915 (;
Kansas, IL Nebraska, 90 Dakota, 1915
California, l1.5 Oregon, 1876.
The average yield per acre OF oats Is ESQ
bushels, making a crop Of over 600, 100000
bushels. The Ohio valley averages over 30
bushels per acre, Iowa over 81 bushels, with
lower yields in Missouri Kansas, aud the
southern states. The eastern states nave
high yields.
The barley crop averages 22.4 bushels per
acre, and the product will come nearly up
to 60,OO0,O0O bushels,
The average yield Of the rye crop Is 11.S
bushels per acre, and the product over
10000, 600 bushels.
The high temperature OF September and
absence Of frost have improved corn crop
prospects, and make the expectation % bush
els per acre, and render certain crop Of at
least CSC, 100000 bushels. The final aver
ages OF condition of the seven states which
produce seven.tenths OF the crop are Ohio,
so; Indiana, 90; Illinois, "A; Iowa, 7S; Mis-
souri,, IS; Kansas, 60; Nebraska, ~. Aver
ages OF the eastern states are above 30 and
those Of the southern states mostly between
SO and 80, The general average is nearly
50, against 90 last year, when the yield was
2G.5 bushels.
The general average Of October condl-
ton Of potatoes is 81, against 80 last year,
So in 1884, and 80 in 1888. The average Of
New York is 90; Pennsylvania, 81; VlrSi-
MIA, 93; Ohio, 80; Michigan, n; Indiana, 81;
Illinois, 20; Iowa. 50; Missouri, ~; Kansas,

The tobacco average Of condition is
nearly 81 Kentucky, %; Tennessee, 90;
North Carolina, So Virginia, "a; Maryland,

Wisconsin.
The promise OF buckwheat Is for n crop
slightly under average. Condition In New
