WASINGTON, January 18.-The do partment of agri,ulture s estimate of the area, product and value of corn, whett and oats for permanent record are corn ploted. The official work of the year has been thoroughly reviewed with State co-operation. All the available data of crop production and the aggregatee axe substantially those recently reported. The corn crop in round numbers aggre gates 1,665,000,000 bushels, grown on 75,000,000 acres, and has a farm value of $610,000,000. The yield is 22 bushels per acre, 45 bushels less than last year. There is an increase of area of over 3 per cent. and a decrease of product of 10 per cent., while tho average price has in creased 12 per cent., or from 32.18 cents to :p; cents per bushel. 'Tho aggregate product of wheat is 157,000,000 bushels from an area of nearly 37,000,000 acres, having a farm value of $314,000,000. The average value is 68.7 cents per bushel, against 77.1 cents for the previous crop and 64.5 cents for the great crop of 1881. This is 35 per cent. reduction from the aver ao value between 1870 and 1880. The yield of spring wheat centres is better than was expeeted early in'tho season, buu on the Pacilic coast much worse. The general average for winter and spring wheat is nearly 12.4-10 bushels per acre. The product of oats is 621,000,000 bushels, 5,000,000 less than last year, from an area of over 23,000,00) acres, producing a value of $186,000,000. The average yield is 26.4-10 bushels against 27.6- 16 last year. The average value is 28.8-1() cents per bushel, last year 28.5-10 per bushel. The IightiL. to IhIleklIlt. In the city court at New haven, Conn., Saturday, J udgo Pickett rendered a do cisioii in the cases of William H. Wal lace, assistait superintendent in the New York, Now lavev and Hartford lRailroad, and Stacy 1'. Opdyke, super intentdent of the New Haven and Northampton Road. accused of conspira cy by Thomas F. Mean,y, who charged them with ''blacklisting' him. The ac. eused were fined $50 each. They will undoubtedly a>peal from the decision. The Judge, in his decision, said that he was clearly of the opinion that a con spiracy designed to hinder any man (roni putting his labor on the market when, where and for such compensation a lie may agree for is equally criminal wit-h any conspiracy designed to hinder the sale of iuerchaudi:se of any producer Or dealdr, and is more disastrous in eiet thain any other form of conspiracy except tlhat to take life. To convict of such conspiracy circumstantial evidence is competent and may be conclusive. It is suflicient if it is shown that the parties had a mutual understanding to the com nioli design and the part each was to lerforni in the attainment thereof. The court was satisfied that Wallaco and Opdyke had a mutual understanding t lmt a man not approved by one should not be employed by the other.
