THE RURAL HEW WORKER, 
ripe stock and ruining prices.In 
regard to the supply of hogs for the remain¬ 
der of the summer season, says the Cincinnati 
Price Current, much will depend on the 
weather and its influence upon the corn crop 
and pasturage. The indications, from extend¬ 
ed inquiry throughout the West, appear to bo 
that the supply will equal last year’s, but not 
show any essential gain.. By a 
recent law the Commissioner of Agriculture 
is authorized to adopt such measures as he 
deems best, in co-operation with State authori¬ 
ties, to prevent the spread of contagious 
pleuro-pncumonia among cattle. Maryland 
has accepted the plans of the Commissioner, 
and the work of stamping out the disease com¬ 
menced Thursday. Three animals were con¬ 
demned and killed, and post-mortem exami¬ 
nations in each case showed unmistakable 
evidence of plcuro-pueumonia. Arrangements 
were made to kill all sick animals found in 
the State, the Maryland authorities having 
agreed to condemn all that are found infected. 
Other States are likely to consent to co-oper¬ 
ate with the Department.The other 
day E, L. Dwyer caused a startling sensation 
in Chicago by "purchasing” nearly 1,100,000 
bushels of wheat, raising quotations consider¬ 
ably. The lot was thrown on the market in a 
few days and helped to depress prices, Dwyer, 
it seems, couldn't put up a margin when 
asked to do so. It turns out that, he had only 
$50, most of which ho spent before asked to 
“show his hand.” He now owes a debt of 
435,500 for margins, etc., and has only $‘2.40 
assets to meet it!.

corresponding period of 1885.The imports 
of foreign wool at New York from January 1 
to July 1 this year show au aggregate of 30,-

Crops & liTorlids. 
Saturday, July 24, 1880. 
According to the July report of the Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture, the full text of which 
is just received, the area of potatoes is in¬ 
creased slightly; acreage 101 , 8 , as compared 
with lust, year. The increment is large in 
Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota, and much 
greater than the increase of population in 
Missouri and California, and some other States 
and Territories. Condition of potatoes is low, 
averaging 96.0. It is usually high on the first 
of July, as the effects of drought, rot or in¬ 
sects always occur later. The excess of rain 
fall iu many districts has interfered with 
planting, germination and growth. The des¬ 
tiny of the crop is iu the future. Should it 
escape measurably its calamities of the later 
season, the crop may yet be a good one. The 
Colorado Beetles are in force from the moun¬ 
tains to the sea. 
With regard, to pastures, it says in all the 
Atlantic States and in the Gulf States, as far 
west as the Mississippi River, the pastures 
have in general been favored by moist, cool 
weather, and are in exceptionally good con¬ 
dition. West of the Mississippi, and in the 
States between the Upper Mississippi and the 
Ohio, the conditions, as regards rainfall, have 
been more varied, In Ohio there has been 
considerable injury from drought in a num¬ 
ber of counties, auil in a somewhat less degree 
the same is true of Indiana and Illinois. In 
Michigan and Wisconsin, complaints of 
drought are quite numerous, and the damage 
iu a number of counties is serious. There is 
also considerable complaint on the same score 
in the States immediately west of the Missis¬ 
sippi, and in Kansas and Nebraska. In most 
of these States the condition seems to be fav¬ 
orable. 
The Agricultural Department issued a sup¬ 
plementary crop report Wednesday. It puts 
the winter wheat crop at 295,000,000 bushels— 
just the Rural’s figure. In the first July 
report it was said that the condition of spring 
wheat had declined 15 points since June 1. 
The Department explains that a loss of 15 
points in condition does not mean a loss of 15 
per cent, of the crop if last year’s crop of 145,- 
000,000 bushels is to be used as the basis for 
calculation. The fact is that there was last 
year a similar decline of 10 points, and that 
the yield of 145,000,000 bushels represented a 
crop whose condition was only 86. This year’s 
crop was, therefore, on July 1, less than three 
points lower in condition than the large crop 
of last year, ?o that its condition on July 1 in¬ 
dicated a loss of not more than 6,000,000 bush¬ 
els, as compared with the crop of 1885. But 
serious injury has been inflicted since July 1. 
The supplemental report says; "A judicious 
aud reasonable interpretation of the July re¬ 
port of winter anil spring wheat would show a 
prospect for an increase of about 80,000,000 
bushels above the official estimate for 1885 
(which was 357,000,000). Results of thrashing 
of winter wheat and the meteorogical condi¬ 
tions of the next two mouths may easily add 
10,000,060 to these figures or subtract quite as 
large an amount. 
Ihe Rural’s estimate of the increase, in the 
aggregate crop, was 78,000,000—within 2,000,- 
000 of the Agricultural Departments report 
throe weeks later. We now think, however, 
that the Department’s estimate of the injury 
doneby the Northwestern drought is consider¬ 
ably too low. 
A telegram from Danville, Va., Thursday 
says reports from the tobacco crop in that sec¬ 
tion are discouraging. Continuous rains have 
put. the crop iu bad condition, and no doubt it 
will be cut short.. The indications now point 
to a small crop and but little bright tobacco. 
The Tennessee wheat crop has yielded much 
better than was anticipated, the crop being 
better than for many years. Com is very 
promising. Much hay was lost ou account of 
wet weather, but the crop was still very large. 
The oat crop was above the average. Cotton 
looks well, aud the potato crop is good. 
It is likely that the cranberry crop also 
will be very bountiful this'year. The Massa¬ 
chusetts meadows are reported to be "in bet¬ 
ter condition than ever before.” The abund¬ 
ant. crop and low prices last year had a dis¬ 
couraging effect so that little new bog was 
prepared in comparison with former years. 
The weather has improved in the South 
Atlantic and Eastern Gulf cotton-grow¬ 
ing States. Louisville tobacco crop advices 
are favorable; the staple held there is firm, 
aud while stocks are large receipts are light. 
Wheat, after some steadiness, has declined ou 
increased supplies in sight on land and sea, 
and heavy receipts at primary markets. Corn 
and oats are relatively stronger. Improved 
crop prospects lor beet sugar and large stocks 
have caused a further shrinkage in prices of 
sugar. The total visible supply is 1,252,331 
tons, against 1,271,908 tons last week and 
1,204,606 tons last year. 
The Agricultural Department thus distri¬ 
butes the last crop of wheat: 
Estimated consumption: food, 271,000,000 
bushels; seed, 51,474,900 bushels; exports 
(from preliminary statement), 93,596,620 bush¬ 
els—total, 410,071,520 bushels. Crop of 1S-S5, 
357,112,000 bushels; drawn from crop of 1884, 
58,959.520 bushels. The "visible supply” bus 
been decreased during the year about 13,000,- 
000 bushels, leaving about 40,000.000 bushels 
to come from the surplus iu the hands of the 
farmers. 
Manufacturers are buying wool with more 
freedom at seaboard points and at Chicago. 
Prices are steady aud so near the importing 
point, that an advance may induce imports of 
foreign. Current quotations for leading sorts 
are as follows at Boston:
