the department Of state certain data gathered
from the reports Of the international seed aud

cereal crops. In Austria-Hungary the yield
OF wheat for 1857 is estimated at ISL, CO.., 900
bushels, an increase Of nearly ~ per cent.
over the average yield OF that country; while
lbs, 100000 bushels is the estimated yield OF
rye, also a considerable increase. The crop
II oats, however, is hardly 81 iii cient TO cover
the bome ndemand. In Russia, rye has
yielded an average crop and barley Is CT
excellent quality, but the crop Of oats is poor
and the prospect for potatoes Is not very
promising. In the &c lndinavisn coun.
tries the average amount Of wheat is
produced, but rye and oats fall far below the
average. The wheat crop OF Italy Is poo-, ard
The Import demand OF the country for cereals
will amount to about 80, 000,0 900 bushels. The
corn crop is alb I'VE the average, and the coun-
try will have a surplus for export. The wAeat
crops OF SWITZERLAND aad Holland are above
the average, while that Of northern Russia is
below. The wheat crop OF France Is large,
but a considerable quantity OF wheat must be
i'm POI ted TO meet the home demand, as the
quantity in store is vey limited. In Great
Britain and Ireland the average wheat crop Is
tx, ected. The total yield 10 es,im ,ted At from
$500, 0C0O to 10000 C0 quarters, 80 that after

foreign wheat IN store In England is quite
limited. Barley will yield 10 per cent. less
than the usual average; oats ID per cent. less,
ard beans and peas from 40 TO 30 per cent.

The Mineral Product.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The United States
production Of minerals during 1856 II Ap-
PEARS that the total Value OF mineral products,
taken as nearly as possible at the points ofpro
ductior, was more than S465, 0O00C0, the larg-
eat mineral production yet recorded n any
country. In 1885 the value Wac about $685.
900, 600. Many substances shared in tins In
crease, but particularly iron and steel, which
alon showed an increase OF s3e, DOC, 0C0. In
1885, b!tuminous coal was the mos: valuable
mineral product, but In 1886 II was patsed by
pig iron, which had a higher total value than
silver and gold combined. Wonderful pro-
grese is shown In the use OF patUral gas, the
consumption being more than double that Of
1885, and twenty times that OF 1888. 1t is es-
timated that the value OF coal displscad by
natural gas In 1856 was more than &, 800, 900.
This is slightly less than half the value of pc.
