AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.

Short Crops = Sure Cure for Low
Prices.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE statistical
returns of the department of agriculture
for Dece mber give the average farm
prices of agricultural products from esti-
mates made by both government and
state agents. The present corn crop is
worth more than the last and the farm
ers will receive more for it. Uniortu-
nately tine districts of failure do not rea-
lize their portion OF the advance in the
average value. The average price by
the present returns is SOL cents per
bushel, against 1873 for 1889, an increase
of II per cent. 1t is the highest price of
the decade, except 1851, when the aver
age rose to 63.6 cents, that being
the only year in the decade in which The
final average condition was worse than
that of the present season. The present
average shows small crops are sure
cure for low prices.
The prices in the seven corn surplus
states are: Ohio, 81 cents; Indiana, AZ !;
Illinois, 43; Iowa, Al; Missouri, A !;
Kansas, 81; Nebraska, 4S.
The average farm value of the wheat
crop is estimated at "a cents per bushel,
against 59.S for 1889. The value of
wheat is affected by the harvests of
other countries, and therefore prices are
not entirely governed by the size OF the
homegrown crops.
The price of oats responded sharply to
the pressure of the small crop and in
creased demand, because of the short
corn crop. The average is 42.2 cents,
against % cents last year. 1t is the
HIGHEST repOrtpd since 1881
Rye, like oats, at 62.9 cents, is higher
than since 1881, and the same is true Of
barley, at GAS.
The deficiency in the potato crop has
caused an advance in values in all sec
tions OF the country. The average is
TIT cents, an increase OF more than 80
per cent. over the prices OF the past two
years.
Returns show slightly higher prices
for tobacco than have prevailed since
1887. Hay alone, of all the farm pro-
ducts, records decline from last year.
The present price is $7.74 per ton, and
the falling off is due to increased pro-
duction.

CAN BE MADE TO TESTIFY.
Judge Gresham Makes the Interstate
Law of Some Account.

CHICAGO. Dec. u.-Judge Gresham
this morning decided the petitions for a
habeas corpus presented in behalf of
Charles Counselman, the board of trade
man, and James G. Peasley, treasurer OF
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad company, and held in both
cases that the orders of the district court
adjudging them in contempt, and that
they should be fined and imprisoned,
were authorized. Counselman and
Peasley were remanded to the marshal
The attorneys for the petitioners will
appeal to the United states supreme
court.
In his decision, Judge Gresham finds
that Counselman can be made to testify
before the grand jury, because he is
fully protected against punishment on
his own evidence, in that section $50 OF
the revised statutes prevents any evil
dence he may give under such proceed
ure, from ever being used to criminate
him.
In the Peasley case, the petitioner is
placed in the same attitude.
The force of Greshams ruling is very
great and is looked upon by the most
