The Jima crop returns of the Department of Agriculture make M iuereae in the area pluutd lu maiae of about on and a third million acre, and a total of hevcuty-MJveii million nere.

There is a Mnall enlargement iu breadth In some of the Southern States, but In the Haste rn and Middle States, taken together, there is no Increase. The condition of the crop U ouly medium lower than usual at this jterled of its development. Kxcesslve moktnro bau delay! planting, aud jaw temperature and a saturated ol have retarded growth on the Atlautiu coast north of South Carolina.

On the kt of July it was iu Kome danger of injury from excess of mokture,even in Texas, though tho earlyplauted was iu the roastlug-ear stage, and in soiue places harvested and a second crop planted.

In the Ohio Valley condition is lower than elsewhere. Kxremely cold weather of the latter mirt of May and tho nrst week in June was vey unfavorable to germination, mid the frosts of that jeriod iujured or destroyed that which was above ground. Tjie replauting was nlow, and the plants are therefore small, though tunny anu growing. In Mlchlgatt there has bveu some loss of area by plowing up aud soediug to milkt ou failing to obtain a Mund. Cut worms have been very destructive iu the We-t. The more advanced nelds in this region which should have beeu cultivated lour times at this date, have only been plowed twice. The crop is therefore late, aud dependent on July weather for improvement, while exposed more than usual to possible adverse couditioii". The maize of the Northern border front Wisconsin to Dakota, suffered from the abnormal cold of May aud early Jitue, but looks quite as well now as iu the Ohio Valley. West of the Mkk-ippi, in the Mile humid belt and border of the arid region the crop is generally in nuo eond tlon, though injured at points by overflow and excess of moisture. Tho Great American Desert is greeu with the cereal iu hteh development.

The former complaints of threatened injury by drought are displaced by statements of some actual damagu from abundant rains. Occasional reports of iujury from the hestau tly, the chinch bug, the midge and rust are received, but the local estimates of condition do not indicate much dumig1. Probably the resulting damage may Iw more fully disclosed by the books of the threshers. In the heart of the West the harvest was well-advanced, ami Is generally Jinished by this date.

' The straw is generally short and usua.ly well-bearded and plump In grain, though In some places it is somewhat shriveled. Fears were entertained of injury lu the shock after harvest, which the change of weather may prevent. The returns concerning spring wheat in Dakota are very unfavorable from results of long'Coutiuued drought, llaius late In June had improved the situation, but the general average, as consolidated, Is 02. ltesults are extremely variable, from a good yield down to a bushel er acre. In some sections, as reported, tho grain is already heading out with straw six Inches high. The averatres of Wisconsin aud Nebraska are each l'5; Iowa it", Minnesota s" and the average of Montana, Idaho and Wiediiugton are low. The general average Is about s:t, which Is very low at this stage of growth. Hve maintains Its condition, aud barley declines to about tfcl. A large falling off of the area of tobacco is reported, amounting to about rJfl per cent, on both cigar aud manufacturing leaf, the latter sustaining most of the loss. The preliminary estimates makes a reductiou ot.'D per cent, lu Tennessee, 3f iu Kentucky, 41 in Indiana, .1) In Illinois, with a smaller reductiou in Ohio ntid Missouri.
