eventually adding it to Yale College; lint a

Crops & iTlavkcts. 
Saturday, April 10, 1887. 
The crop report of the Department of Ag¬ 
riculture for April relates to condition of 
winter grain and comparative hoalthl ulucss 
of farm animals. The returns show that the 
condition of the soil at the tune of seeding 
wheat was somewhat unfavorable in the 
States of the Atlantic and Gull coasts, owing 
to drought during the late summer and au¬ 
tumn, most severe in port ions of Pennsylva¬ 
nia. in Mary land and Virginia and in parts 
of Texas. The §ame unfavorable conditions 
prevailed in Western Missouri and in Kansas. 
The continued dry weather made plowing 
difficult, seeding late, ami in localities where 
it was unbroken when winter set in germina¬ 
tion ami the fall growth were slow. In the 
great wheat States of the Central West from 
Tennessee to Missouri, the seed-bed, for the 
greater part of the area, was in favorable con¬ 
dition, and w ith local exceptions the plant 
made good growth before going into winter- 
quarters. (>u the Pacific slope the early seed¬ 
ing time was dry, but rains came later and 
the whole breadth was put in fair condition, 
though somew hat, after ttie usual date. Tilts 
covering of snow during the early portion of 
the winter was better than usual over a large 
part of the wheat urea, but there are from 
many sections complaints of slight protection 
during vary trying weather since Feb. 15. 
The mouth of March was the mast, severe for 
a series of years, the temperature being below 
the average over the w hole wheat area, east 
of the Mississippi river, and alternate freezing 
and thawing w rought serious damage to bare 
fields, especially in bottom and poorly drained 
lands. 
Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio suffered 
severely from this inclemency. The general 
average of rendition is 88, the same as m 1881, 
and higher than at the same date in tssil ami 
188a, when it w as mi and ii> respectively. The 
April condition ot last year was 0J.5, which 
was still further improved by favoruble wea¬ 
ther duriug the month. The averages tor the 
principal States are: New York, 07; Peiwi 
sylvania, 7V; Maryland, K\ 2 ; Virginia, 70; Tex¬ 
as, 70; Tennessee, til; Kentucky, MJ: Ohio. 71); 
Michigan. «0; Indiana, Wl; Illinois, ft); Miss 
ouri, 515; Kansas, 88 ; California, 02; Oregon, 
‘•• 8 . Damage from the Hessian fly is compar¬ 
atively unnoticed; Its presence is mentioned 
in from one to tour counties in New York, 
lexas, Tennessee, Ohio and Michigan. Rye 
has stood the meteorological conditions better 
than wheat, the average of condition being 1 ) 2 , 
against DO at the same date u year ugo. The 
returns of condition of farm animals show a 
loss of swine amounting 1 . 6 .4 per cent,, or over 
5,500,000, and indicates the widespread prev¬ 
alence of hog cholera. The losses of sheep 
amount to 7 per cent.; of cattle, 4 3 per cent.; 
losses of cattle are heaviest in the South and 
on the ranges of the fur West, from five to 
nine per cent, while in the sections where 
shelter is provided and better care is taken it 
amounts to only 2 ^ to three per cent. The 
losses among horses, as usual, is very small, 
amounting for the whole country to less than 
three-seventeenths of 1 percent. 
The maple sugar crop every where is suffer¬ 
ing severely from the lato severe weather. 
In New England very little gap bus been gath¬ 
ered except in Southern Massnchnsette. And 
it. is feared that when fair weather starts the 
sap, it will run up the trees' to nourish the buds 
rather than into the buckets to gladden the 
owner*. The .. compIaintH come from 
other maple suger sections also. 
The price of wheat during the week has 
been irregularly higher on reports of damage 
to the winter crop and heavy declines in the 
visible supply, and speculative action. Total 
domestic exports of wheat anil flour, July I to 
April 10, are I2I.SIJO.0IJO bushels, leaving, us per 
government crop reports and accepted esti¬ 
mates of consumption, about 2 ) 1 , 000,000 bush¬ 
els available for export to July 1, with 50,- 
000,iMKJ bushels to carry over on that. date. 
The increase in the visible corn and light 
exports caused n dull, irregular market. Oats, 
owing to the spring drought, have been held 
with more firmness. Had weather, clique 
action mid lack of storage room at Chicago, 
with favorable cables, advanced wheat one to 
1 cent on yesterday. Flour, too, was higher, 
on some grades 10 cents per barrel. 
Wool still Inactive ami depressed at the seu- 
bourd markets. Owners of many woolen 
mills assert positively that their works will be 
stopped as soon as their eonlraets are filled. 
With the new clip in sight, bettor and more 
abundant supplies are anticipated, and the 
prevailing inclination is to wait for develop¬ 
ments. ft should ho said, however, that the 
market is quite as firm as a week ago, on ac¬ 
count of diminished pressure to sell on the 
part of holders. There’s a great falling off in 
imports of all kinds of wool, o« ing to the rela¬ 
tively higher prices of the staple abroad. 
(tidy a little over u quarter of as much cloth- 
iug wool was entered in February ft-s in the 
siime month last year, while tic receipts of 
combing and carpet wools were also greatly 
diminished. The Loudon sales reopened 
Wednesday with a large attendance of < Ymti- 
uental bidders. No change either in demand 
or price Is apparent and values still range rel¬ 
atively higher than In the American markets. 
French buyers are the most active, as they 
have been for some months at London. 
The ” boom” in pickles has reached a bight 
never before kuowu. The last jump hero, 
over a week ago, was JO per cent... The 
‘•pickle” cucumber crop was very poor last 
year, so the price bus advanced UK) per cent, 
since last fall. Pickles that a few months ago 
sold for $.5.50 to *4 per barrel, are now bring¬ 
ing *8 to $;t. Medium-sized cucumber pickles 
are worth a cent a piece by the barrel, uud 
many packers are guaranteeing purchasers 
that they will stick at those figures till the 
next lot comes on,about the middle of Septem¬ 
ber. If t he pickles are taken out of the brine 
before then, dealers say they will spoil. For 
the last three years the price has been but 
little over the cost of production: and packers 
noware the chief gainers by the “boom.”
