NATIONAL CROP REPORT.
Higher Average Prices for All the
Cereals.

WASHINGTON. Dec IO.-The statistical re.
turns of the department of agriculture for
December give the average farm prices of
agricultural products by counties, which are
consolidated i'll this Office to obtain accurate
averages for the several states. The present
corn crop is worth more than the last, and
farmers will receive more for it. The prices
III the seven corn surplus states are: Ohio,
5l cents; Indiana, AZ cents; Illinois, 43
cents; Kansas, 81 cents: Nebraska, 4S
cents. The average farm value of
"a cents per bushel, against 69.S for 1881,
an increase OF 20 per cent on the price of
last year. he value of wheat is affected by
the harvests of other countries. as corn is not
perceptibly, and, therefore. prices are not ell
trely governed by the size of the homegrown
crop: For example, The crop of 1885, though
smaller than the present one, brought but ~
cents III December. while the crop of 1882,
aggregating over 5U.',OOO,OOO bushels, the
second largest ever grown, sold at 8 cents at
the same date. The price of oats has re-
sponded sharply to The pressure of small
crop and increased demand because of
short corn crop. The average is 422 cents.
against 23 cents last year. 1t is the highest
reported since 1881. An examination of the
records shows that abundance or scarcity
of corn materially affects the value of this
crop, the two grains being largely inter-
changeable in use. Rye like oats, at 62.9
cents. is higher than since 1881, and the
same is true of barley at 64.S. Buckwheat
at o7.1 marks an advance over last year. but
is lower than IN 1888. The deficiency in the
potato crop has caused al advance in values
in all sections of the country. The average
is ~ cents, an increase of more than 8
per cent over the prices of the past two
years. The returns show slightly higher

DEMOCRATS SATISFIED.
The Apportionment Bill of Mr..
Frank Generally Indorsed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-In the house the
declaration that there should be speedy ac-
ton of the reapportionment bill received the
support of all the members of the committee
except two-Messrs. Blount and Holman
who expressed the opinion that a determina-
ton of the accuracy of the count in New
York and Brooklyn was essential to proper
consideration of the reapportioument ques-
tQn The discussion then turned upon the
Number of members that should compose the
house, and showed a sentiment favorable
to 356, the number originally suggested
bv Mr.. Frank The talk in committee
did not turn upon party lines as had been
expected. and, as a whole, the Democratic
members are satisfied that $50 is perhaps as
far number as any which could be pro-
posed. provided that New York is accorded
proper consideration. MIR. Holman's idea was
that the house was large enough at present.
but he recognized the fact that there was
strong opposition to lowering the prestige of
any state by reducing its representation; and.
on the other hand, Mr.. Tillman, of South
Carolina thought the house not at all large
enough. and announced his intention to vote
for the largest number any one proposed.

ARRIVAL In DUBLIN,
indications That ParneH Will
Sweep the Country.

LONDON. Dec. 1O.-Parnell made his entry
into Dublin to-day like conqueror of dis
affected province. His forcible seizure of
United Ireland was as bold stroke as his
tearing up the resolution for his deuOsition
at Saturdays Nationalist meeting and it has
produced remarkable impression. Parnell
is developing qualities that few knew him TO
possess. From the moment of his setting
foot OH Irish soil the situation began to turn
still more in his favor than it had seemed To
be before. 1t was announced to-day that the
total number of declarations made by public
bodies of all sorts in Ireland thus far in
favor of Parnell was 2 q. while the declara-
lions against him were only lib. The anti
Parnelhts at once questioned the correctness
OF these figures, and asserted that they had
been doctored i'll the interest of Parnell.
Present appearances all indicate that Par
nell will sweep the country in his first ap-
peal. Whether there will be reaction on
second thought or not it is too early to pre-
dict with certainty
