WHEAT AND CORN IN BINS.

Tho Governments Estimate Of Rroduc.
tiOn and Exciting Stocks.
WASHINGTON CRY, March lO-The esti-
mated proportion of wheat on hand is Is 2
per cent. of the last crop. the smallest in
ten years. The quantity on hand aggre.
gates l35. OOO. 900 bushels. 81. OOO. 900 bushels
less than fast March. and q, OOO, 600 more
than the remnant of the small crop of 1890.
A large proportion was found in states
that do not spare q bushel for CONNER
cial distribution. There are only 81, OOO, 900
bushels in the principal spring wheat
states, more than half of which is required
for seed in the spring. OF the winter
wheat states only Kansas and California
have any considerable surplus available
for commercial distribution.
The corn on hand, as estimated, aggre-
gates 62A, 81, $40 bushels. or 3S.5 per cent.
of the last product. This proportion has
been exceeded in March four times in the
last ten years, and the quantity has been
exceeded five times. The consumption Of
eight months, 900 GIG. $50 bushels, only ex-
ceeds that following the smaller crops of
1887 and 1890. The aggregate sold from
farms to 60 beyond county lines is 277,-
$50 900 bushels. or II per cent. of the crop
The proportion merchantable is !, 345, AS
OOO, or 1915 per cent The values returned
for merchantable corn averages 42.S cents,
and for understandable, 27.7 cents, max
ing an aggregate Of 1856. OOO, 900. which ex-
ceeds the December valuation by $13, co.,
600. and averaging 40 cents per bushel
The total corn crop is estimated thus:

There is therefore an apparent excess of
distribution from the last two crops
of 81, 100000 bushels compared with pre-
vious estimates. showing if the present es-
Inmates are correct. which cannot be posi-
lively assured, the crops of 1891 and 1892
were underestimate by or per cent.
which would be close margin on the safe
side.
Little old wheat is reported on hand.
The average weight of the crop per meas
ured bushels, calculated from returns of
millers. state agents and correspondents,
is SIS pounds. reducing the estimated
product to 100000 commercial
bushels. The crop report for March of the
department OF agriculture relates TO the
distribution Of corn and wheat and stocks
remaining on the farms. 1t is not CEN
sus Of individual holdings of growers. but
is based on the county estimates of the
percentage Of last years product remain
ing. made by board of correspondents in
each county and also by an independent
board reporting to the state agent. All
grain. including any surplus of previous
years, is included. These separate results
are scrutinized. obvious errors and incon-
sistencies eliminated. differences har-
monized and ultimate statements tabu-
lated by states to show both percentage
and aggregate quantities.

THE LAST CONGRESS.

and Its Extravagances.
re PENSION QUESTION.
keh q Dsnencfarlss Steadily Deereas-
Country's 0ranaPies.

WAsHINerox CRY, March lO.-Hender-
son Of Iowa, eight years . member of the
house committee on appropriations. pre-
sents an analysis of the work of the
Fifty-second congress. He gives the
total appropriations, including per-
manent appropriations, at 81, O26 s22,-
O49. exceeding that of the Fifty
first congress by $3s. 4O4. s66, an increase of
Sis. 707 for each congressional district in
the United States. He notices the charge
that the senate makes large appropria-
tons. and calls attention to the fact that
the house at the session just closed sent
bills to the senate for $5l3. 6s7. 242. or at the
rate OF over 81 OF 900 900 per annum. The
house, he says, is q ''billion-dollar house. {"
for it, bills for the Fifty-second congress
aggregated $1,000. 1854 before they
reached the senate. He asserts that in ad-
dition to the appropriations actually made
BY the Fifty-second congress-, It authorized
contracts mortgaging the future revenues
inthe sum of 81, so. 62l. He says that if
the Fifty-second congress seeks to excuse
itself Dy charging its extravaganza to the
legislation of the Fifty-frst congress, then
the latter congress can make similar claims
against its Democratic predecessor and the
Fifty-second congress, aggregating oyer
$9l, 600. 900.
To guard against . deficit, Henderson
warns this administration to give closer
attention to the ''moonshiners" and the
whisky ring" in collecting internal rev.
enues, than it did from 1885 to 1889, when
it collected 81 ,o99. 62S less than President
Arthur, and $lI5.35S, 542 less than Presi-
dent Harrison. He says tho retiring adj
ministratton paid $296, BIG. 931 on the pub
lie debt, saving in interest $56, 352, 1873
annually. He touched on pensions, show
ing from tho pension bureau rolls. that
they will reach the highest point on De-
cember 81, 1894. with 1.l7l9lS names on
the rolls, including widows, orphans. in
valids and dependent parents, the annual
value of the rolls at that date being $685.
S65. 094; that in 1895 there will be dropped
from the rolls A. 1872 pensioners, and that
those dropped thereafter will keep increas-
ing. Referring to the complaint against
widows pensions, he shows that if all tho
widows claims yet undisposed of were al
lowed, there would still be 7099 1874 dead
soldiers unreprese nted on the rolls by
widows, orphans or dependent parents.
He also points out the danger 20 the
treasury from war claims and says con-
greSs now has data to show that about
$500, 00O. 900 may yet be drawn from it to
satisfy the demands. Henderson refers to
the defeat of the bankrupt DILL in the
house, the burial of the pure food bill. the
slaughter Of the anti-option bill; the in
ability of the house to grapple with the
money question, and its silent admiration
of the Mckinley bill, and he predicts that
tho Fifty-second congress will 60 down in
history as the ''know nothing" and do
nothing" congress.
