cent, of wrappers, and the custom-house offi¬ 
cials decidefl to charge him only 35 per cent, 
duty, Connecticut growers fear that this will 
affect the price of 11 ei r crop. One New York 
dealer has notified a Hartford customer that 
he doesn't want his crop at any price at pres¬ 
ent, as Connecticut, tobacco is bound to come 
down under this ruling. 
South Carolina farmers have put in an uu- 
usually iarge quantity of Winter grain this 
Fall, and it is thought that next year's yield 
or coni, wheat and oats may reach 30,000,IHX) 
bushels. In the Census year the aggregate was 
15,440,000, in 1881 it was 12,000,000, and in 1882 
it was 2G,930,(MX) bushels. Droughts make the 
crops quite uncertain, and account for the 
great variations shown from one year to an¬ 
other. 
The speculators have succeeded in so re¬ 
tarding the exportation of produce that the 
visible stock of wheat alone is uow over 
35,000,000 bushels. This supply is constantly 
increasing, and is much larger than at this 
time last year, while the exports are much 
smaller. The cotton market has been steady 
for spots and futures, and the movement of 
the crop has been heavy. For the past week 
the receipts at the different ports were 
247,733 bales, and the total since September 1 
has been 8,215,604 bales, against 8,200,530 for 
the same period last year. The exports since 
September l have been 1,071,300 bales, against 
1,022,087 for the same time in 1882. 
The Indiana State Bureau offers the follow 
ing estimates of crops of 1883,aud comparisons 
for 1882: Wheat, 31,405,578 bushels; corn, 
89,099,237; oats, 10,507,780; barley, 300,183, 
rye, 358,513; buckwheat, 80,459; flax, 150,- 
181; Timothy hav, 1,831,137 tons; clover bay, 
1,020,510; Irish potatoes, 8,353,412 bushels: 
sweet potatoes, 108,870; tobacco, 7,700,110 
pounds. The yield of wheat in 1882 was 40,- 
928,0+8 bushels, aud of coru 115,090,707; oats, 
19,615,510; barley, 1,138,717; rye, 548,405; po¬ 
tatoes, 7,304,830. 
With regard to grain in Texas, the Fort 
Worth Gazette says: “By all odds the largest 
small grain crop, wheat and oats, ever sown 
in Texas is now in the ground. Farmers in 
the grain belt have thrown their whole soul 
into the work, aud with favorable seasons the 
grain yield of next year will astonish the old¬ 
est inhabitant. The open Winter has been 
favorable, aud witli a snow or two to mellow 
the ground we may safely indulge in visions 
of millions of acres that will be gokleu with 
the uoddiug grain uext year." 
The Mark Lane Express last Monday said 
that *■ the large aud growing visible supply in 
America is regarded with growing distrust,” 
Foreign flour in England was in small supply. 
Mixed American corn was fairly steady. The 
Miller iLondon) notes that Winter weather is 
bringing with it a healthier state of the mar¬ 
ket by diminishing “the influences of sup¬ 
ply.” There was less wheat afloat from In¬ 
dia December 3 by 200,(XM) quarters than there 
was a mouth previously. Chilian and other 
South American shipments, as well as Rus¬ 
sian, were getting much smaller. Farmers 
were making moderate wheat deliveries, and 
for the next two months British imports will 
probably be limited to manageable quantities, 
such as had already been recorded for a week 
and more.
