THE GRAIN OUTLOOK.
December Report Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
WHEAT CONDITION PUT At 9S.4.
Better Than For Two Years Past-Estf-
mated Yields the Past Year of Wheat
and Corn-The Low Average of
the Latter Cereal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The estimate
of the products of corn, wheat and oats
of 1890, as complied by the statistician
of the Department of Agriculture makes
corn aggregate LASS, $40, 600 bushels;
wheat 399, 62e, 900 bushels; oats 75,6a1,-
600 bushels.
The area of corn, which was slightly
increased in planting was reduced by
utter failure and abandonment by more
than 6, 900, 600 acres. The area harvest
ed. II ,979, 763 acres The average yield
per acre was 2O7 bushels and the sup
ply for consumption per head of popula-
ton is So bushels, or IL bushels less
than last yer. The rate of yield was
lower in 1857 and 1881, years of very
severe drought.
The aggregate wheat acreage is sc,
OS7, 154 acres, nearly the same as in
1889. and the yield per acre Ill bush
els. These are measured bushels of a
quality grading somewhat lower than
usual, the weight of which will be
given in the March report Past rec
ords have shown that the annual differ
ences in weight of the crop are'not often
more than pound above or below the
average weight for a series of years, the
lowest for seven years being sos in 1855
and the highest 5S.5 in 1887. The yield
per acre is the same as 1850, when the
product was nearly 416, 900, 600 bushels,
and with two exceptions is the lowest
rate during the past decade. The area
in oats was &c, 431. 1863 acres and the
yield per acre was 1913 bushels. This
is only "a per cent. of the average Oh
ten years past, which was 1855 bushels
and the smallest rate of yield ever re-
ported by this office.
The December condition of the grow
ing wheat crop is returned at 9S.4. This
is better than December returns for two
years past. Along the Atlantic coast q
slight depreciation is noted as the re
suit of the excess of moisture in some
localities, making planting late and
giving rather small growth before the
advent of freezing weather. In
the Ohio valley the season was
generally favorable for seeding and
early growth and the plant entered
the winter quarter in promising con-
dition. Some damage was done by the
Hessian fly, especially in early sown
fields. Condition in Missouri and Kan
sas was variable, local injury from
drought and fly combining to somewhat
reduce State averages.

The Council at Rome has pronounced
in favor of the validity of the marriage
of Count d Ursel, of France, and Marie
d'Ursel, nee LAWS, of New York. The
marriage took place in 1868, and in 1878
she eloped with Frenchman named
Say and subsequently contracted civil
marriage in Switzerland. In 1884 she
endeavored ip France to secure an an
nulment of her first marriage, without
success. Then she went to Rome and
enlisted the influence of her sisters, the
Marchioness Cavotte, the Duchess
a. Ente and the Countess Sella in her be-
half. In spite of the efforts of these
ladies an adverse decision has beer
rendered on the appeal.
