CROP RETURNS
Made Up According to Adslces to Department
 of Agriculture.

Washington, March 10.-The consolidated returns of the different crops, according to advices to the department of agriculture, made up to March 1, show the wheat re- serves in farmers hands on that date to have been the equivalent of 22.9 per cent. of last years crop, or about 121. 900 bushels. This Is 33,0 ,000 bushels in excess of the farm reserve reported one year ago, but the result of the special wheat investiga- tion made by the department last fall would indicate that the crop of 1896 was larger than the department had reason to believe at the time.
 The proportion of the crop of 1897 shipped beyond county lines is 5.7 per cent. The corn in farmers hands, it is estimated, aggregates 7sS O0O, 900 buhels, or -41.1 per cent of lats years crop, against 1,164,0OO GOO bushels, or 516 per cent. on hand March |, 1897 and 072 ,Oo0 900 bushels, or 49S per cent, on March l, 1S96
 The proportion of the total crop shipped out of county where grown is estimated at 2,.6 per cent. or about 412,0O0,O00 buhels.
