THE CROP RETURNS FOR JUNE.

A Favorable Showing For Cotton,
 Hut A Falling Oh In The Yield Of
 Wheat.
 WASHINGTON, June 1O.-The June crop report of the department of agriculture will show an increase in cotton area of to 6 per cent. Virginia 1.06 per cent; North Caro- lima 1.02; South Carolina 1.0S; Georgia l. O4; Florida 1.02; Alabama 1.03; Mississippi 1.06; Louisiana LOT; Texas 1.10; Arkansas 1.09; Tennessee 1. 01. The total area exceeds 5000, 900 acres. The plant is of healthy growth, near the average and the stand good. Where recent rains have been ex- cessive the crop is in the grass. The general average is 92, which is higher than in the three preceding years in June. There is .an unusual uniformity in condition, only Ten nessee showing less than 30. The State av- erages were: Virginia 98; North Carolina 93; South Carolina 96; Georgia 95; F1ori- da 93; Alabama 92; Mississippi 92; Louisiana .95; Texas .92; Arkansas .91 Tennessee .S5.
 The condition of winter wheat is reported lower than ever before in June. The gener- al percentage has declined from 70 in May to .62. The averages in the principal States are: New York .91, Pennsylvania .67, Ohio 56, Michigan .94 Indiana .63, Illinois 40, Missouri .52. Kansas .56, California 5S In some States there has been greater loss of area than was anticipated in previous re ports. The average yield will evidently be less than ten bushels per acre. The proba- ble product of the winter wheat States ac- cording to these returns is reduced to about two hundred and seven million bushels. But none of the territories are included in the winter wheat area.
 The report of spring wheat is more favor able. The disposition last autumn to reduce it's breadth on account of the low price was checked by the loss of winter wheat area and later by the British-Russian war rumors Substantially the same area has been seeded as last year; about eleven million acres in northern New England, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska and all the territories. The per centage of last years area is .95 inWisconsin, .99 inMinnesota, 1 .02 in Iowa, .93 inNebraska and 1. .03 in Dakota. The condition of spring wheat is 97 and indicates a crop of one hun, dred and ffty-three million bushels. The average for Wisconsin is .99; Minnesota .94 Iowa 100; Nebraska 1.02; Dakota 1.01. The present report, therefore, indicates wheat crop of thirty-six million bushels, twenty three million bushels smaller than that ot 1884.
 The average condition of rye is .S4. The area of barley is nearly the same as in 1884 and the average of condition is .S9. The acre age of oats has increased per cent. and the average of condition is .94. Corn will be returned in July, but voluntary returns in dicate an increase of area

 CONCORD, N. H., June 1O.-The Republi can legislative caucus tonight nominated A. B. Thompson of Concord for Secretary of State, Solon A. Carter of Keene for treasur- CT, John B. Clarke for State printer, and Frank P. Brown for commissary general. It was voted to hold the senatorial caucus to- night, victory for the Blair men. Late this afternoon movement was started to lead off Senator Blair's probable nomination, and bring forward the name of ex-Senator Patterson. A circular was issued and has been extensively circulated endeavoring to clear up the Credit Mobilier charges against the ex-Senator. The circular was prepared by Walter Gibson, one of Patterson's most venomous accusers, who now retracts and calls upon all just men to help retrieve the wrong done him. If Blail fails of nomination on the frs ballot, Patterson will become promising dark horse. It ha been generally thought to-day that Blair ha been losing strength and the announcement that Chief Justice Doe would consent to re ceive the nomination has tended further; t. lower the Blair stock. It is still probable however, that Blair will receive the nomina tion

 SYRACUSE, N. Y., June 10-At the morn- ing's session of the general synod of the Re- formed church of America there was an ex- citing debate in relation to the West Troy congregation who recently transferred their denominational allegiance to Presbyterian ism. One prominent delegate characterized the alleged transfer of the church property as out and out robbery and another after allud- ing to similar occurrences in other parts, of the country declared that Etsteals of this kind were in conformity with the settled policy of the Presbyterian denomination. . Some of the delegates argued that the gener- al assembly of the Presbyterian church was in no wise to blame and should not be held responsible for the action taken by the local
 presbytery. The synod appointed commit tee of three to investigate the matter and empowered them to take legal steps for the recovery of the property

 LONDON June 10-The Cabinet situation is still uncertain. The Standard declares that the Tories ready to assume the reins of government at the bidding of the Queen. The Daily News urges MT. Gladstone to per sist in his determination to resign. A few months of hateful Tory rule it says will re- turn him to power stronger than ever be- fore.
 The Times urges the ministry to reconsid- CT the purpose of resigning, the result of the vote on the budget being entirely due to ov- erconfdence on the part of the Liberals themselves. The paper plainly intimates that Mir. Gladstone will find in the Queen an obstinate customer who will only be con- vinced by cogent reasons and then will probably refuse to accept the resignations of the ministers.
