Washington, Nov. 10.—An analysis
oi the Congressional election returns i
shows that with the returns missing from i
twenty districts in which the result is
either unknown entirely or very close,
the Democrats have for the Fifty-third
Congress eighty-eight more Representa
tives than the Republicans. This majority |
does uot include nine members-elect who j
are classified as eilher Fusionista or
third party men, nearly everyone of
Whom will act with the Democrats in any I
proposed reduction of the tariff taxes.
Their support, with the additi.
strength the Democrats are certain to
derive from securing some of the twenty
districts pal in the unknown column,
makes it conservative to estimate that |
the Democrats will have a majority of j
one hundred members or more ou the
most important question likely to come
before the next House of Representatives,
v.z: a revision of the Mckinley tariff law.
A number of l-'tisionists are also thor
oughly in accord with the Democratic
policy as far as it goes ou all other ques
tions. It is said that with the exception
of Davis and liaker. five of the Fusion
ists from Kansas are inclined toward the
Democracy. The silver States of Idaho,
Montana, Wyoming, Nevada and Col
orado split even on the Congressional I
■lection, three Republicans coming from
tiie three States nrst •named, and three
Fusionista from the two Litter Suites.
Newlandsof Nevada is inclined toward
the Republicans.
The strong probability of au extra |
session of Congress immediately follow- j
ing the Inauguration of the President- I
elect, is the subject of general conversa- I
tion in Washington to-day. A special ]
session of the Senate is always called ;tt
the beginning of a new administration j
to confirm members of the Cabinet and
new diplomatic representatives of the j
United Stales abroad. Hut the recent
election having turned ou questions of
domestic policy, it is said to be obvious j
to experienced political leaders of all
parties ihat an extra session of both
Louses of Congress is an almost inev
itable result, secretary of tho Treasury
Foster, among others, admits this. The
country, he says, challenged the judg
ment of the Republicans on the McKin
ley bill, and the result must bo accepted
as the will of the people that a different
policy be put into effect. Ex-Secretary
iiayard writes to friends here in like
eliect, adding that the people will expect
this to be done without unnecessary de
lay.
CABINET GOSSIP.
Ni:w YORK, Nov. 10.—Cheerfulness
pervaded the home of President-elect
Cleveland to-day, though the weather '
vv.thout was cheerless in the extreme. I
Messenger boys bearing telegrams of con- I
gratulation kept the door bell ringing j
almost continuously. Secretary O'Brien
nai.l this alternoon that Mr. Cleveland
hid at lirst inteuded to address a letter to
tho voters of the country giving his views
on the political situation, Out this project
was abandoned. Cleveland also decided
not to allow any telegrams or letters of
congratulation to be published. O'Brien
amid the number of these messages
already exceeded 2,000, and the stream
showed no sign of diminution.
The result of the election being posi- i
tively Settled, politicians are turning
their attention to the possible make-up !
oi Cleveland's next Cabinet. Many are I
also greatly iuierc-ted now in the New
York Slate Legislature, known to be
Democratic on joint ballot, in the proba
ble successor to l uited states Senator
Hiscock, whose term expires March 4th
next. Ii is said that Governor Flower is
ambitious to be the Senator's successor,
and Lieutenant-Governor Sheehan wants
to succeed to tiie Governor's office.
Democratic politicians generally agree
ti at Governor Flower will be sent to the
S< Date is he so desires, and Lieutenant-
Go ye: uor sheehati thus become Governor
for the unexpired term. Lieutenant- |
Governor She., ban's friends declare that
Ins splendid achievements during the
present campaign in the interest of the
Democratic party entitle him to the next
n .niination for the full term. There has
been some talk of Bourke Cochran tor
S nator, but his friends allege that he
does uot waut the place.
The Cabinet slate generally figured out
by politicians was: Secretary of state.
Thomas F. Bayard: Secretary of the
Treasury, John L. Mitchell or ex-Post-
Boaster-General Vilas; Secretary of the 1
Navy, William C. Whitney; Secretary of
"War, W. P. Frauklin of New Hamp
shire; Secretary oi the Interior. Isaac r.
Gray of Indiana; Attorney-General, ;
Congressman William L. Wilson of West I
Virginia or Congressman Culbertson of
Texas; Postmaster-General, Don. M.
Dickinson, it has been generally ac
cepted as the belief in political circles
that ex-secretary \\ hitmy would be
obered the place of Secretary of State by
the President-elect, but those who ap
pear to know something about it say
\\ hitney prefers the Secretary of the i
Navy.

Dks Moines, Nov. 10. The latest fig
ures place the total Republi an i
223,000; Democratic, 203,000; Populist, 18,
--000: Prohibition, 8,003. This includes the
estimates for several counties, but cannot
be far lrom correct. (if eleven couuties
ten are surely Republican, though the
Eleventh District is still claimed by the
Democrats, but merely as a possibility.
Indiana.
Indianapolis, Xov. It).—The reiurns
from all except thirteen counties at the
Democratic headquarters show a Demo
j cratic plurality of S.osti. The counties
j not yet reported are expected to swell Luis
jto 10,50.., possibly ll.uoo. The People's
| parly vote is expected to reach 25,u 0 and
j the Prohibition 12,u00. The Democrats
i elect ten members of Congress, the Re
| publicans two aud one is in doubt. Tiie
| Legislature is largely Democratic.
Indianapolis, Nov. 10.—Official re
j turns have scarcely beguu to come iv yet.
I Lnolii. ial reiurns from 88 of the 92 conn
! ties, with the other four estimated give
i Cleveland 11,185 plurality. No figures
can yet be given as to the total votal vote
or the vote of the People's or Prohibition
candidates.
Illinois.
Chicago, Nov. 10.—Owen Scott, Demo
cratic candidate for Congress in the Four
teenth District, admits his defeat. ibis
makes the Illinois Congressional delega
tion twelve Democrats and ten Republic
ans. Complete returns from Chicago and
Cook County show Cleveland has carried
the county by 32,000; Altgeld, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, by 31,000.
The returns from 655 county precincts
outside of Cook County, out of a total of
' 710, give Harrison a plurality of 10,013.
I Tins would indicate the otli.-ial returns
I from the whole State will show a Demo
-1 cratic plurality of about 20.0110 for the na
tional ticket. The plurality of the State
ticket will not be materially different.
Chicago, Nov. 10.—Six hundred and
I ninety-three precincts of the 710 outside
of Cook County give Harrison 13.9,30;:,
Cleveland 127,507. The vote on Governor
is very close to these ligures, Altgeld
running a little behind Cleveland, and
Fifer ahead of Harrison. Cook County
has given Cleveland a plurality of 32,000
: and Altgeld 30,000. The remaining pre
j cincts cannot alter the result, and it is safe
] to say Cleveland has the State by 20,0 0
j and Altgeld l/,000. The Republicans iv
the county plucked one brand from the
flames by the defeat of Van Pxaag for
State legislator. That aud the victory of
Aldrich in the First Congressional Dis
trict aro all they have.
Ohio.
PITTSBURG, Nov. 10.—Governor Mc-
Kinley of Ohio was in this city to-night,
and in an interview said he could not
account for the result of the election. He
was not prepared to give up Ohio, having
received a telegram from Columbus say-
I big that the State was safe for the Repub
licans by 3,000.
Cincinnati, Nov. 10.—It will take the
official return', to decide tho result of the
national and State tickets, though the
Chances are largely iv favor of the Demo
cratic state ticket. Unofficial retnrns re
ceived by both committees at Columbus
vary littlo.
Columbus (O.), Nov. 10.—At Republi
can headquarters at midnight returns re
ceived snowed a plurality of l,4iK) for
lay lor iP.ep.l Secretary of State. The
gains on official returns have beeu
j gradual and steady for the Republicans.
lAt Democratic headquarters, while ad
i mitting the tide is against them, a small
I Democratic plurality is stiii claimed, and
the committee sa.\ s it will be necessary to
get the official \ ote.
Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, Nov. lO.—Revised re
turns from the State give Harrison a
I plurality of 65,475, a Democratic gain of
; 15,253, Tho Pennsylvania delegation in
the next Congress, which is increased
; lr mi twenty-eight to thirty by two Con
gressmen-at-large, will consist ol twen7y
j Republicans and ten Democrats.
Tennessee.
N \mivn,i.r, Nov. 10.—The State gives
Cleveland about 46,000 plurality. electa
the State Democratic iickct by 32,000, and
sends eight Democrats to Congress, a
gam of one.
North Dakota.
Bismarck >N. D.), Nov. lO.—Returns
from twenty leading counties almost
' completely knock out the previous Re
publican estimates, and it is now certain
: the entire Republican State ticket is de-
I feated by majorities of 300 to 1,000. It is
I believed the Harrison Electors are also
defeated, but Johnson (Rep.), tor Con
gress, may pull through, Tho Legisla
ture is iv doubt, but is probably Repub
; lican by four or five majority.
Kansas.
Topeka, Nov. 10.—Returns from all
the counties show that the third party
have a majority of 24,327 for President.
The Republicans saved three Congress
men of the eight, and the Legislature by
a small plurality, insuring the election of
a Republican Senator. The Populist ma
jority ou Stale officers is slightly below
that ol Weaver. The Republicans con
cede their defeat.

Van Wyck, Populist. The result in the
First Congressional District Is very close.
Field (Rep. claims his election by 1!» plu
rality. Bryant (Dem.) claims a victory
by 110 plurality. The Republicans elect
Merrier, Hainerand Meiklejohn to Con
gress and the Independents re-elect Mc-
Keghan. The result in tho Sixth Dis
trict is in doubt, with the probabilities
that Whitehead (Rep.) is elected. Sixty
counties of the ninety give Harrison ob,-!

change the result, smith will be elected
by a majority of upward of .00. This is

Minnesota.
St. Paul, Nov. 10.—From returns re
ceived up to II o'clock to-night the Globe
tig-ares the Minnesota Congressional del
egation will consist of four Republicans,
two Democrats and one Populist. From
present indications the Legislature will
be anti-Republican by a sanall majority,
but no figures are given. The Repub
licans claim Nelson's (Rep. majority for
Governor will be beaten 10,000 and 12,000.
Vermont.
White River Jcwction (Vt), Nov.
10.—Returns received from 218 towns in
the state give Harrison a majority of l!l,-
I 674. The same towns in 1888 gave Ha -
son a majority ot 28,012. Tliis indicated
a decrease of 6,338 in the Republican vote,
542 in the Democratic vote and seventy-
I tive in the Prohibition vote. The twenty
| five remaining towns in 1888 gave Harri
son a majority of 1,440. Providing the
! ratio of decrease in the remaining twenty
five towns bonis up, Harrison's majority
this year will be 20,380.

ceived about :;,000 more votes than his
party.
CALIFORNIA.
The Vote in the State Very Close-
Claimed by Both Parties.
San Fbakcisco, Nov. io.—The latest
returns from California to-night seem to
place the result of the Presidential elec
i Hon in this State very much in doubt.
' omputatious made on the .State vote
this afternoon indicated that Cleveland
would have a plurality of about 3,000.
The returns had been received then from
1,(39 precincts out of a total of 1,924 out
side of San Francisco, and these gave
Harrison a plurality of 5,448. The returns
from San Francisco are incomplete and
conflicting, but the latest bulletin pub
lished this alternoon gave Cleveland a
plurality in this city of 7,922, making
Cleveland's net plurality in the State at
large 2,474.
The Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee claimed that Cleve
land's plurality would be 4,200, and the
Republican committee conceded tho State
to Cleveland by a small plurality, but
returns from the interior of the State
came in rapidly during the afternoon, j
Hue hundred and thirty precincts re-
Eorted between noon and the time the
.st. computation was ma;io to-night, and
these precincts wore principally in sev
eral large counties. I.os Angeles, San
Bernardino, Kern and Fresno were
among the number. These later returns
uot only increased the total vote over
10,ii(J0, but they also increased Harrison's
plurality by nearly 2,000.
The computation made to-night was
upon the returns from 1,439 out of 1,924
precincts outside of San Francisco, and
the result was, Harrison 81,980, Cleveland
74,535, Weaver 19,211. Harrison's plural
ity, 7,445. Taking Cleveland's plurality
in San Francisco as 7,922, it gives Cleve
land a net plurality of IST. There are
still eighteen counties in tho State from
which less than two-thirds of the pre
cincts have reported, 'l'hese counties arc
Alpine, Calaveras, Del Norte, Humboldt,
Inyo, Lake, Mendocino, Merced, .Modoc,
Mono, Napa, shasta, Siskiyou. Sonoma,
Suiter, Trinity, Tuolumne and Ventura.
These counties complete gave Harrison
in 1888 a plurality of 542. According to
these ligures it seems that the ultimate
result will depend upon Cleveland's ac
tual plurality in an Francisco and final
returns from the 455 precincts in the in
terior which have not yet reported.
The Republican State Committee con
cedes that Cleveland will have 6,000 plu
rality in this city. The Democratic State
Committee claims 8,000 plurality in the
city uuu the Democratic County Commit
tee claims 8,000. The Republican Com
mittee t-oih-i dcs that the Democrats will
have a majority of one or two on joint
ba;ioi in tiie Legislature. The Democrats
claim a majority of six to eight.
At 4 p. M. returns lrom 223 precincts
give Ellert (Non-Part.) for Mayor 15,351,
11' Donnel! ilnd. 14.1.32.
UThe latest returns to-night on the
Mayorality contest in this city seem to
indicate the probable election of Ellert,
! Non-Partisan candidate. These returns
I show 55,883 votes counted, about 6,(100
I short of the entire vote cast. Ellert is
i leading O'Donneil, Independent candi
! date, by l.lso votes. The result is as fol
! lows: Ellert Non-Part. , 17.154; O'Don
•3 ;. [nd. , 15,967; Baldwin (Dem.), 12,0u9;
i Laston (Rep.), 8,796. Ihe Prohibition,
' People's and t >Id Democratic candidates
i polled 1,358 vote. The returns are very
| incomplete as to the remainder of tiie
| municipal ticket. One or two Republi
cans and one or two Non-Partisans are
probably elected, but in the main the
Democratic ticket has triumphed.
The Vail (Rep) makes the following
calculations on the political complexion
of the Legislature: All the districts have
: been beard from and tho returns are iv
except from the Sixtieth Assembly Dis- j
! trict. In the Senate v.th ll holdover
. Senators, the Republicans, will have if, j
, and the Democrats, with 6 holdovers!
! will have 17. In the Assembly the Demo
. crats wiil.liave i 2; Republicans, -714; Nou
: Partisans, 2, and Populists, 1. on joint ,
i ballot the Democrats will have 59 and the !
KepnbUcanas7. As 01 votes are neces- |
aary for a majority this leaves the bal- I
anco of power in the hands of the two
Non-Partisans and one Populist Assem
blyman. These threo men were formerly
Republicans, and it is thought on the
dection of a I'uited States Senator they
will vote with the Republicans.

CAUSE OF DKFEAT.
Why the Democrats Won Suoli a
Victory.
I'll ti aiiu, Nov. 10. Secretary Rusk
was in this city to-day on his way back
to Washington. "We were cleaned out,
that's all there is about it," said he. "In
my opinion the tariff was the whole and
sole cause. There has beeu a howl every
where about it, and the Homestead affair
made the laboring class discontented.
1 Ddonbtedly there has been a change of
public sentiment as to the tariff."
FOSTER'S VERSION.
Washington, Nov. 10. — Secretary
Charles Foster said this al'ternaou there
were three classesfof people who Voted
the Democratic ticket—one a set of manu
facturers who were tired of labor troubles
and -ame to the conclusion that free traue
was bettor for them because it would re
duce wages aud I bus compensate for tho
reduction of the tariff.
"Another class concluded that tho Mc-
Kinley bill was too high. I don't know
what effect those peotle had, but it wan an
excuse for such people as Mac Veagb. and
i iresham to turu front,
"The third class was cheap labor. That
class thought the prohts made by man i
la.-Hirers not fairly distributed. I be
school questions affected Illinois and
Wisconsin. In fact the Lutheran church
made itself felt in the West. When I got
to Ohio I discovered trouble among the
laboring men. They were talking about
tho Homestead affair, and about Carne
gie being too rich, while they were poor.
1 his is a strange result in view of a pros
perous condition of the country. Every
interest is in perhaps the most prosper
ous condition ever known. Labor was
never so much in demand; tho cost of
living never so cheap; failures never so
few. Vet iv view of this prosperity tho
people voted for a change, apparently not
knowing when they were well off."
A PEOPLE'S VAitTY OPINION.
St. Lofis, Nov. 10.—Chairman Taube
neck of the National Campaign Com
mittee of the People's patty, asked re
garding the election said: "The result was
produced, above all, by a spirit of unrest,
discontent and dissatisfaction among the
people of the nation. Then the old party
ties were loosened, if not broken, ft has
taken the American people long years to
discover that the tariff is a tax, and ihe
foreign manufacturer does not pay it. and
it will take them years to learn that a
tariff for revenue will not remove the bur
dens of which they complain. The peo-
I pie have simply jumped from oue tire
I into another. The People's party will
not, under any consideration, give up
the light on the lines mapped out, but
will Immediately reorganize and prepare
for the next contest."
CALCULATIONS KNOCKBD OUT.
New York, Nov. 10.—Republican Com
mitteeman Joseph H. Mauley, in an
interview to-day, said the returns showed
that the workingmen in the manufactur
ing centers of the whole country had
gone against the Republicau party, while
the agricultural interests, as represented
by the farmer vote, stood by it.
J. S. Clarkson of lowa said all the best
calculations in respect to every State ex
cept his own had beeu set at naught by
the results of the election. He was es
pecially sorry for the defeat of Senator
Spooner as Republican candidate for
Governor of Wisconsin.

New Yokk.JNov. 11. —Chauncey M.
Depew expressed his views on the result
of the election in a speech at the Union
League Club to-night. In the coarse oi
his remarks he said he talked to-day
with a pearl-button manufacturer, who
paid $6 a week to his hands before the
passage of the McKinley bill, but was
paying 820 to $26 now. Yet he said they
all voted the Democratic ticket, because
they were led to believe they were not
getting a share of the profits. Thus tiie
Democrats got a laboring vote. This ver
diot demands a repeal of the McKinley
bill, and the cutting oil' of the tariff
where it protects either mill-owners or
mill-hands.
Said Mr. Depew: "When I asked a
Democratic Congressman to-day if the
Democrats would repeal the tariff law
aud 10 per cent, tax ou State bauks he re
plied: 'Brother Depew, the platform is
made to get in on, uot to stand on.'
"I hope," saiil Mr. Depew, "tho Demo
crats will have control of the Senate.
Then they cannot say we have prevented
their fultilling their Chicago promises,
aud we can say to them, "You are phe
nomenal frauds and got control by lying.'
We will make them confess they did not
dare fulfill their promises."

Panama, Nov. 10.— According to ad
vices from Chile, war is imminent be
tween the Argentine Republic and Peru
on one side and Chile on the other. Peru
I is perfectly weU armed, aud its forces
have recently received 100,000Mannlicher
rifles of the latest system, together with
j many other formidable war machines. A
i Chilean gentleman a:rived from Peru
states in that republic approaching war
with Chile affords tbe staple of conversa
tion, and its frequent pret6uses of friend
ship aro not only put forth as a means of
gaining time. In the Argentine Republic
there is vig irons recruiting, both natives
and foreigners being prescripted, and the
Government, with feverish haste, is arm
ing troops. There is no longer any donbt
that a secret compact against Chile,
offensive and defensive, exists between
the two republics named, and they ar..
only awaiting anything that will serve
as a casus belli in order to throw one
army into Tarapaca and then another
upon the southern frontier, while
strong skirmishing parties will harass
the country from tho Cordilleras.
Tbe Chilean Government has tardily
opened its eyes to thethreatened invasion
and ordored the steamers of the C. S. A.
V. to be prepared lor immediate incor
poration into the navy, cabling for the
' 3i tain Prat. *.o proceed to Valparaiso

N'PW CARDINALS.
Vacancies to be Filled liy the Pope In
December Next.
Coin right by Associate 3 Press.
Rome, Nov. 10.—It is now probable
that at the great Cardinal Consistory to
take place on the 10th of December, it is
expected the Pope will create thirteen
Cardinals out of the seventeen vacancies.
Five are certain, viz.: 'lours, Reue, Uran
di Pentre, Persico. Archbishop of Se
ville appears equally certain. For Eng
land there is as yet no question. Aus
tria demands three, bat the i'ope will
accord only Grau. In the last audience
the Prussian Minister renewed the Kai
ser's demand that Monsignor Koop,
Bishop of Breslau, be included among the
Cardinals, but the Pope would prefer the
Archbishop ot" Cologne. As the Prussian
Government opposes this selection, the
Archbishop of Posen may be his final
choice.
His holiness restricts the number and
duratiou of his audiences and secludes
himself in his apartments, working over
two encyclicals, one for the jubilee and the
otheron the church in the east. Itis stated
that ho occupies himself also with Amer
ica, but has not yet decided whether he
will speak thereou at the consistory or
in a special document.
It is denied in Vatican circles that
Monsign rSatoUi has any missive regard
ing scholastic questions in the United
States. It is considered that those have
been regulated through tho Ireland iuci
dent.
[serious pour parlers have occurred be
tween the Holy See, the Spanish Gov
ernment and the Spanish parties. On the
death of Nocedal, representative of Don
Carlos, his son, Director sigie Fntnro,
was selected as succession to ihe post, but
Don Carlos preferred a Spanish grandee.
.Nocedal then separated himself from the
King as being too liberal. Schiem
obliged Dou Carlos to reorganize his
party, and it is now a circle in every
village. Nocedal, with his set, has con
ceived the idea of forming a Catholic
union, a programme which will be to
rally to the existing monarchy for a
better defense of the interests of religion.
Nocedal required tho Pope to write a
new encyclical in order that the power to
rally from one side to the other might be
confirmed. Tiie present .spauish Gov
ernment, enchanted with the recruit,
supported Nocedal's request through its
Embassador at 'Koine, while Don Carlos
exerted himself vigorously to nullify the
scheme. Things being as they ;,ro, the
state of the parties is so precarious that
the Holy See will not compromise itself.
The present truce will last, however,
only till the death of the Queen Regent]
against whom no one desires to hasten a
revolution, but at her death the Carlista
will actively interfere.
The Holy Father is greatly pleased with
the sympathetic receptions "accorded to
Monsignor Hatolli, papal delegate at the
World's Fair dedication ceremonies, and
also with the speech of Chauncey Depew,
the prayer of Archbishop Ireland, and
the medal struck by order of the commit
tee on this occasion. Referring to the
event he said : "The United States form a
great people to whom the future be
longs."
ANARCHISTS, '
They Will Henceforth Operate on tho
Public liulldlugs.
London, Nov. in.—The Standard's
Paris correspondent sends an interview
iiad with an Italian Anarchist, who de
clared the Anarchists would make no
more attempts to blow up inhabited
houses, because they always killed the
wrong persona. Henceforth they would
confine operations to the banks and towu
halls. He added that two of his friends
has just left Carmaux and would be heard
of before long.
an explosion.
Paris, Nov. 10.—Anarchists continue
to send threatening letters to Baron
Roille, President of the Carmaux Com
pany, and Reitz, special commissary.
Another explosion of Anarchistic origin
was reported late last night from Coloin
bos, a suburb of Paris. Anarchists Con
stant and Martin say they are delighted
with the result of the explosion, which
was a "perfectly splendid" success. They
further say: "We shall blow up all our
enemies. None shall be spared. Plenty
more surprises are in store."

Prospect of a Fltrbt Between Corbott
and Mitchell.
New York, Nov. 10.—Jim Hall has
accepted the offer of the Crescent City
Athletic Club to fight for the middle
weight championship of the world with
Fitzsirnmons.
Mitchell has accepted the Crescent City
Club's offer of a $50,000 purse to fight
Corbett for the heavy-weight champion
ship. The Californian is as happy as a
schoolboy at Mitchell's willingness to
fight him, and said he was now satisfied
that the Britisher meant business. He
says: "As regards bis acceptance of the
Crescent City Club's offer, I must confess
that I cannot say that I will do likewise.
I promised Judge Newton ot the Coney
Island Athletic Club that I would give
his organization a chance to bid on the
match and I intend to keep my word. I
would prefer to fight at the Coney Island
Club because I have more friends in New
ban it; tho South and because my

CROP BULLETIN.
Monthly Report from tho Agricultural
I)i partment.
Washington, Nov. 10.—Monthly crop
report: Average yield for corn in seven
States—Ohio, 29 bushels; Indiana, 28;
' Illinois, 25.8; lowa, tls; Missouri, 28; Kan
; sas, 23.3; Nebraska, 28.7; average yield of
buckwheat, 11.1 bushels per acre. In
j Nov.- York, 14.7; Pennsylvania, 14.5;
1 Wisconsin, 18.5; lowa, 10.7. The yield of
corn averages in November were 22.4
bushebi per acre, and promises an aggro- j
gale production of little more than 600,
--bushels, while the other great j
iueud grain, wheat, by returns of last '
month, pointed to a product based on the '■
acreage investigation, will not exceed !
500,000,000 bushels, with a possibility of I
shrinkage in the soring, and certainly of j
lifcht weight.
In the Northern States on the Atlantic
Coast tbe crop has ripened well. In the
cotton States it was inji red somewhat ■■ y
excessive i loisture, causing rot and
mould in some districts shortened by j
drought, in Ohio the crop is well cured,
but chaffy from drying too rapidly. The
' yield is very uneven, ranging from ten
to sixty bushels per acre. The Indiana
product is iv good condition on early
planted anas, and better thau expected on
late planting, and in view of the long
continued drought the local yields are
extremely variable.
There is mv.-li complaint of lightness
of ears and looseness in cob of corn in
Illinois, and some variability iv yield
and quality elsewhere. It is well dried
j out and undamaged bydn Some
was damaged by being cut and shocked
j too early. There is much chaffy corn,
and the average weight will be light.
lowa corn has ripened well, the heavy
frosts being delayed till the last week of
(ictober. Out late planted is shriveled
from the rapid drying of immature ears.
Part of the crop is sound and good, and a
portion very light. Low-lying areas
were damaged by excessive moisture in
the early summer. Wet weather in the
; soring and drought iv summer reduced I
the quantity unit quality in Missouri.
'i'hv average in Kansas was reduced by
the low yield of seed coru, which of
course ia included in the aggregate. Ne
braska corn early planted ripened thor
oughly. Some of the latest planting was
plowed up ami sowu to wheat. Variabil
ity of yield makes it difficult to fix a fair
average. In low places there was some
injury from frost.
The estimated yield of potatoes is sixty
two bushels per acre. It is eighty-two in
Maine, sixty-three in New \ ork, sixty
in Pennsylvania, sixty-two in Michigan,
seventy in Minnesota, fifty-one in lowa,
and forty-seven in Kansas. The crop
almost every where is light. Tubersare
small as a rule and rotting considerably
in New York and throughout the west.
The yield of tobacco is less than last
year, the average being reported 082
pounds per acre of all kinds, against 74*
last year.
The average yield of hay is 117 tons per
acre, nearly the same as in 1891.
