NO DANGER OF FAMINE.
Report of the Department of Agriculture
Showing Amount of Grain in Stock.

WASHINGTON, March i0-The statistical re-
port OF the Department of Agriculture for
March relates To the distribution and con-
sumption OF corn and wheat. IL makes the
proportion OF corn crop In the hands Of
growers $50 per cent. OF g7O,OOO,O0O bushels,
and Of wheat crop $40 per cent, or 75GOO. 900
bushels. The stock OF corn on hand is the
largest ever reported In March The aver
age Of eight annual returns is 617OO0OOOo
bushels, that OF last year. 7s7 100000 bushels.
The estimated consumption TO March list is
ili30oo, 900 bushels. IA figure exceeded only by
last year and In 1886. The proportion of
merchantable corn of the crop OF 1850 is ST.
per cent, exceeded in recent years only by
those of 1884 and 1886 The average value OF
all corn ON the first Of December was 2s.s
cents Der bushel The average ON the first OF
March was 27.9 cents for merchantable and
lo.2 for unmerohantable, making an aggre-
gate value Of si5,OO0,O0O less than the Decem-
Der estimate. The wheat crop OF 1880 was
exceeded by the crops Of 1885, 1sss and 1884
The average remainder in the hands OF
growers ON the first OF March for ten years
past has been 130O0OCO ,shels. The pres
ent returns are very full and satisfactory
The State agents estimates agreeing closely
with those Of the department, the consoli-
dated result may be accepted with absolute
confidence as an approximate as close AZ can
be made by local estimates. Most of the
wheat in farmers hands is In States which
have no surplus over consumption. or In
those In which much the larger portion Is
consumed at home. II Is seen. therefore.
that the available supply for for cxporta-
tion aud for home distribution 10 July is
small. The dllated farm reserves have
been measurably fled except In "a few
states but IL will require the pressure Of
high prices 10 squeeze any considerable pro-
portion Of them Into commercial dlstrlbu- |

DECISION SUSTAINED.
The New York Guaranty and Indemnity
Company Lose an Important Case.

The New York Guaranty and Indemnity
Company Lose an Important Case.
WASHINGTON, March l0.-The supreme
court Of the United States today rendered
u decision in the ease of the New York
Guaranty and Indemnity company against
the auditor Of the State Of Louisiana to
compel that official to levy and collect
taxes throughout the state according To a
law passed In 1865. with which Ia pay
state bonds issued under authority Of that
law. The ease come up ON appeal from
the decision In the supreme court In
Louisiana, which held that that state
was not party to the ease aud that the
auditor had no authority to represent the
state. aud therefore that the court had
no jurisdiction to hear the case The
supreme court in its decision aiii' ns the
decision OF the Louisiana supreme court
Court holds that the state law of 1869 au-
thorizing the payment Of interest on those
bonds was repealed by subsequent state
laws. and that conceding il to BE- true, as
claimed, that these laws are unconsttu-
tional, it is virtually against the state,
and the state cannot be sued. The case.
the court holds, is clearly within the
OF the case of the State Of North
Carolina against Temple, announced last
Wednesday.
