Average Price of Cereals Remarkable In
View of Abundance.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE returns
of the statistical reporters of the de-
partment of agriculture for December,
duly consolidated, make the average
farm value of the current crops of the
year: Corn, 42,2c per bushel; wheat,
S5.3; rye, TIA; barley, 54; oats, 1872;
buckwheat, ga; potatoes, 81. L; tobacco,
cigar leaf. AL per pound, manufactur-
ing and export leaf, rs. Condition of
growing wheat reported at $50 per
cent. The price of corn is 2.9c per
bushel more than the average of ten
years from 1880, and only four-tenths of
a cent less than the average Of the de-
cade from 1870.
The Wheat Crop.
The value of the wheat crop is 2.5
cents per bushel higher than the aver
age of ten years from 1880, and has
been exceeded only once, Gin 1881 since
1883. In the states of the Atlantic
coast and those of the Gulf of Mexico.
except Texas, the value is from 81 to
$1.15; in the Ohio valley from So to 96c;
beyond the Mississippi from zoe in
North Dakota to Sic in Iowa.
Only once since 1883 has the price of
oats been as high as at present, 32.2
cents, which is 1.S cents higher than the
average of ten years from 1880. The
prices of all cereals have been remark
ably sustained in view of the abundance
of production.
Returns showing condition OF the
coming crops of winter grains are not
generally favorable.
