Tho Actual Yi.ld viii Not Come Up to the
Estimate.
CHICAGO, LIS, June e0.-The follow
ing will appear in the Farmers ,Rerietv
to.morrowas as the result Of summary Of
their crop reports up TO the close OF the
.prssept month: A few reports have been
made that the wheat crop would prove to
be better than has been estimated, yet
what has developed to make any changes
in tie former estimates as made by the
Rsrie,p on June i, as to the yield OF wheat
sSO0Oo00o bushels-we confess we are at
a loss to know. all reports for the last
fourteen days have shown an increased
development Of cheat, a steady running
down ofthe general prospects and more or
less damage from the Hessian fly.
Tennessee and Kentucky were the first
States that early in the season gave us any
idea OF the damage to the crop. They are
now the States that are harvesting, and II
the reports from other winter wheat States
are. as bad as the reports which have been
received from these States, as to the yield
Of winter wheat, It would look to-day as if
the lowest estimate of the crop was
high one.
Wheat for fall seeding will absorb q
very large proportion OF what d now call
ed the visible supply. In fact it Is now a
serions question where clean and pure
wheat Is 10 be obtained for seed. Inqui-
ries are now being made for this article
fofl seeding purposes from Tennessee,
Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri and Southern
Illinois.
The spring wheat situation, as the sea
son advances, shows somewhat Of a spot
ted character, but the conditions are
fairly promising. The crop seems to be
more or less weedy, and particularly in
the rotthern areas. No more rain is need
ed 10 mature the crop,

Improves Grants General Conditlon-He
has Restful Day.
Mr.. McGREooR, n. Y, June 20.-Be-
tween l2 and / o'clock this morning DR..
Douglas attended Gen. Grant, eleansed
his throat, painted 1t with cocoatne, and
administered the last half Of the usual
nightly allowance Of anodyne. From that
time until 5 o'clock the General was quiet.
At this hour DR.. Douglas was called, after
which the patient required no attention
until 9 O'Clock, when he aroused. His
physician believes General Grant slept
fully nine hours last night He
says, too, that the glandular swelling out
side has subsidized to the minimum. The
infiltratioa shows some disposition 10 ex-
tend upward upon the right cheek, and
lsts tendency to spread downward and
forward upon the neck. About daylight
the atmosphere, which had been opptess-
i've through the night, became brighter,
the clouds broke away, and the weather
conditions, with the thermometer at 73' at
10 o'clock, are much more favorable than
yesterday.
At i so o'clock General Grant had not
been dressed. He had rested in his room
all the morning, and at noon he explained
to Dr.. Douglas that his throat caused him
no trouble, and he remained quiet in or.
der that his ease might continue. He
thought should he be about be would feel
like interesting himself in writing, which
might wear his strength, and he would
undoubtedly use bis voice more or less,
and so irritate the diseased parts. The
air Is fresh this afternoon and favorable to
the patient. Despite these favorable In
dicatiops. and even while they prevail 1t
must be understood that the physician is
not without apprehension or that he Is In
any degree relaxing his vigilance.
| 1t was 8 o'clock when the General was
dressed and left his rom to enter the
patlor, where cheerful log fire was blaz-
ing on the hearth. He possessed himself OF
materials and began writing in the
line Of his work. Soon alter DR..
Douglas entered, and Gen, Grant stopped
and wrote upon a slip OF paper, which he
handed TO the doctor: 81 have had q very
restiul day. hope, however, We will
have pleasant day outside tomorrow. |

ing his course. Nor does the anonymous
writer confine himself to the mails. He
frequently resorts to the telegraph, and
one Of the most provoking experiences Of
a public official is to receive atelegram
marked "CoIlect, and after paying for It
to discover that it elnanatcs from some
crank or thcorist who expresses his senti-

not many days since Assistant Secretary
Mnldrow received a telegraphie dispatch,
the bulk OF which induced him to believe
that It must contain matter Of official i'm
portance. Upon opening it he found a
tumble Of unintelligfble jlrgon, intended,
apparently, to warn him against the
breakers Of public lie in Washington.
About the same time Secretary Lamar

not infrequently letters without signatures |
