morning publishes crop reports in the
Northwest, comprising the states OF
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa,
Northern Illinois, Kansas. .'and miscel-
laneous reports from other sections. In
WISCONSIN,, Minnesota and Nebraska
nearly all agree that this will be year
of plenty in wheat, which has been
nearly all cut and stacked. The quan-
tity is far above average, and the quail
ity never excelled. There will be at
least fourth more wheat exported from
those states than any previous year.
From Iowa reports are not SO encourag-
ing. From Kansas they never had
more bountisul harvest. Inl Illinois
but little spring wheat is grown, but
there lie no reason for complaining. In
all, the prospect is decidedly encourag

LONDON, Aug. 23.-In delivery Of the
| Judgment in tho Abbotsford investigs-
ton. the court Of inquiry said they
were perfectly satisfied that the vessel
was not in good order, that the general
character and conduct Of tho officers
were perfect. and all that could be de
sired by the owners or the most critical
public. The vessel made the journey
safely until near Hollyhead, and then
in few hours was lost. Every pre-
caution SEE med to have been taken, all
that prudence dictated, all that the
printed rules for the guidance Of OH
GERS required had been done; sound
ings were regular and - tho weather
thickened constants vigilant and ef8-
cient lookout had been kept. Still the
vessel was finally lost on Q summers
day in the fog. and it remained for the
court to ascertain the cause as far as
possible. They were unable to accept
the theory of the sudden disturbance of
the compass, but thought when the
observation was taken after leaving
Holyhead there was some gross error of
calculation. They were Of the opinion
that the loss of the vessel Was due IN
the first instance to the masters having
misjudged distance from Holyhead, and
they also thought sufficient allowance
was not made for the force of the tide,
and especially during several times
when the vessel was slowed or stopped
for soundings. They held that these
mistakes were deserving Of censure.
but could not say that, considering the
state of the weather after passing Holy
head, it was prudent to proceed at the
rate Of speed which the vessel did,
though the loss Of the vessel could not
be attributed to that cause. The cap
tain's certificate would be returned to
to him.
