Point. s..-.s
The tug Templar, one of the most for
midable of the local fleet, broke a channel

boats is expected to prove a grateful relief
to the condition of the oyster market.
The ice is seven fiiches thick about the
docks along the river front, and about five
inches thick in the channel. The Eastern
branch ts completely choked up, and 1t is
impossible to operate the draw Of either

Washington, July I0.-The July returns to
the Statistician of the department of agrt-
ditions: Corn. S29; winter wheat, S12; spring
wheat, 9l.2; combined spring and winter
wheat, $40; oats, SIS; winter rye. %; spring
rye, 80; barley. SIS; tobacco. IS.5; Irish po-
tatoes. SIS.
The report on the acreage of corn, which
Is preliminary. shows a decrease OF II per
cent as compared with that of last year.
This represents a decrease OF about 100000
acres. Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Texas and one or two less important
corn producing states show an increased
acreage. but this IS more than offset by the
shrinkage in Iowa. Indiana, Ohio, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and other states. The av-
erage condition Of corn Is only SIS. or 90
points lower than in July of last year. The
principal state averages are as follows:
MichiganrsO So; Indiana, SO; Illinois. 50; Iowa,
IS: Missouri, %: Kansas, 90; Nebraska, 81;
Texas, 10I; Tennessee. 20; Kentucky, 81.
The condition of winter wheat, So, is 81
points higher than last month and Sc points
higher than in July Of last year; that Of
spring wheat. 81, is 16 points higher than
last month, but 81 points lower than in
Of spring and winter wheat combined is
$40 and Is points higher than that of the
corresponding period last year.
The percentage Of the wheat crop OF 1896
reported as on hand on July l. 1897. is 5.46.
The average condition Of the oat crop, SIS,
compares very unfavorably with that of
July, 1886, but is only a small fraction of
l per cent less than the average July con-
dition for the last ten years. The aver
age condition OF winter rye. $50, Is ia
points higher than in July OF last year.,
but that Of spring rye. 800. is S6 points
lower than II was at that time. The con-
dition of barley Is improved. having ad-
varced IL points during the month and is
slightly better than at this time last year.
The tobacco acreage shows a falling on
OF over 20 per cent as compared with last
year and the condition, 7.5, Is less by -
points than that OF July last.
There is a decrease in the acreage Of
Irish potatoes OF S.4 as compared with that
OF last year. The shrinkage is general,
Nebraska being the only state with any
considerable acreage devoted to this crop
that shows an increase. In point OF con-
dition also the crop at this time compares
unfavorably with that Of last year, the
figures being S7.8 and 800 respectively.
The wool report indicates So pounds as
the average weight per fleece, as COM
pared with 81 last year and Sc in 1885,. The
EuI opean agent Of the department reports
that the weather during June was gen
orally favorable TO growing crops, except
In Russia and parts of Germany and Italy.
but the wheat crop will be below the aver
age In Great Britain. France and Austria
Hungary. A consular report from Winni-
peg. Manitoba, indicates good crops OF
wheat and oats.
