is estimated at 15,000 tons, against 30,000 tons 
last year, and 18,000 in 1835. This year Illi¬ 
nois grew 8,000 tons, Kansas 3,000, Nebraska 
2,000, Missouri 1 000, Ohio 300, Iowa 200, Ten¬ 
nessee 250 and New York 350. The acreage 
was very large, but drought and chimb bugs 
did their work. The annual consumption of 
broom corn is now estimated at 25.000 tons, 
and there is a present storage of 4.000 tons. 
Ohio, some thirty years ago, produced larger 
crops Of this staple than any other State, but 
now the growth is routined to a small portion 
of the Scioto Valley. Quotations for the arti¬ 
cle, in Chicago, the greatest broom corn mar¬ 
ket. in the world, are now as follows: Hurl, 
choice green, 4 to 4}^; Hurl, red or yellow 
tipped. 3 to 3.W; Self-working, green, 4 to 4!-.;; 
Self-working, red or jellow tipped, 3 to 8 %; 
Self-working, coarse, seedy, common. 2 }^ to 
3; Long, stalky, seedy and bad color, 2 >£ to 3, 
Crooked—Half price of straight. 
The Louisville Courier-Journal,in a state¬ 
ment concerning production of leaf tobacco, 
etc., gives the following estimates of the crop 
for 1887, with comparisons, and accompany¬

The Mark Lane Express iu its weekly re¬ 
view of the British guuu trade, says: The 
values of English wheat are steady, the ad¬ 
vantage is rather with sellers, owing to re¬ 
duced deliveries. The sales ut English wheat 
during the past week were 65,1U9 quarters at 
30s. SKi, against 49,9ti3quarters at 3la lid dur¬ 
ing the corresponding week Just year. The 
trade iu foreign wheat is dull aud dragging. 
Barley, oats, beutis aud peas were steady.
