A Shortage OF 1900, 600 Bushels In
the Estimated Wheat Crop.
wAsnINcroN. May II

May IL.
Following is brief synopsis of the Agri-
cultural Department crop report as to spring
and winter wheat:
The May returns for spring wheat are low
CT as compared with those of April This is
owing TO frOsts and a backward season. The
average as compared with April is n for
New York; Michigan, IS; Ohio, 62, and Hi
nOis, &c. There is further loss from
the plowing-up of large areas.
The reduction in Missouri is, from SO
to S0i Indiana, rs; New Jersey, 101-about
the same as April. <. All the remaining
Northern States show an Improvement since
April. This is true of the Pacific Coast and
Of nearly all the Southern States-Connecti-
cut, 90; Pennsylvania, 95; Delaware, So;
:. Maryland, 90; Virginia, 81: North Caro-
lima, 90; South Carolina, 90; Georgia. OF;
Alabama, IS; Mississippi, 90; Texas, 81;
Arkansas, SO - Tennessee, S. West sVir-
gina, 90; Kentucky, 81; Kansas, 81; Cali
lOrnia, ~; Oregon, ~. This is an. im-
provement of fifteen points for California
and of seventeen for Oregon.
The average condition of winter wheat Is
S313. against so. The breadth of the pres
ent acreage is 20 per cent. less, representing
loss of II, 900, 900 bushels. Reports from
London agents show some improvement in
last month. A smaller acreage was sown in
England. In France and Germany rain and
higher temperature are wanted. There are
prospects OF reduced crop on the Continent
owing to frost and a reduced acreage. In
Austria Hungary there is prospect of a
medium crop.
There was intense interest here to obtain
the crop report from the Agricultural De-
patment early in the day, but all attempts
to do this proved unsuccessful. The Com
missioner of Agriculture was able to prevent
any premature publication of the results,
and It certainly can not be charged
against the Department that it had any
complIcity In stock-jobbing. The ex.
uaordinarily backward season, the heavy
frosts, and the long-continued SHOWS. had
created an impression that the acreage and
yield of spring and winter wheat would be
much less than it was last year. Some OF
the leading experts had placed the loss of
wheat at oo,0oo, 900 bushels. While
the result is not so unfayorable as
these more discouraging estimates, still
the crop report shows loss In win
ter wheat Of ~ ,0o0, 900 bushels. and a cor
responding reduction in spring wheat 1t IS
to be noted, however, that the decrease Is
not uniform; that on the Pacific Coast, for
Instance, there is gain Of fifteen points In
California and seventeen points IN Oregon,
but on the whole the Agricultural De
partment report seems to confirm he gloomy
views which have been entertained by
many.

The Bishop Of Copenhagen.

Munster Bishop of Copenhagen, was
noted for his absense of mind, an in
trinity which increased as he advanced
IN years. He was accustomed whenever
his duties summoned him from home,
to hang placard on his door announce
ing. for the benefit of any chance visitor,
that he would return at a certain hour.
One day, being obliged to attend to
some important business in the town,
ne affixed the usual notice, and, his
GRAND accomplished, came home and
assembled the stairs leading to his modest
apartment. On arriving opposite his
door he glanced mechanically at the
placard, and, entirely unconscious of his
own identity, concluded that he was
too early, and waited outside until the
clock struck, when he suddenly recol-
lected who and where he was and let
himself in.--AU the Year Row,ld-
