The condition of the wheat crop, accord
ing 10 the April returns to the department
of agriculture. indicates a considerably
smaller crop If this cereal than has been
harvested for several wears past The
area in winter wheat is 10 per cent less
than last year, and the state of tie crop is
more discouraging even than the dimn.
shed area. This is II per cent only. a.
against 90 last wear, so in 1888, and 50 in
1881, the Latter being the year of the low
est yield of recent date From these data
crop of 400 900, 900 bushels is estimated.
subject. of course. to future contingencies.
This would indicate great advance in the
price OF wheat. were it not known that
there still remains nnsold large surplus
of last years crop. If war comes, howev-
er. in Europe, there will be demand for
wheat ut such rates as will rejoice the
hearts of wheat rasers in all the country
beyond the Mississippi.
II case OF war between England aud
Russia /, will be the duty of the govern
ment of the United States to use all dill
geuce to prevent the fitting out of priva-
teers in this country to prey upon the com.
merce of either belligerent. But there
will be many advantages to the vessels of
neutrals without going outside of the
laws Vessels may be built and sold to
belligereuts. and the carrying trade of the
world will seek the vessels of ueu;rals
naturally, because in them will be found
greater safety and lower rates tor freight
than can be had in the vessels OF belliger-
ents exposed to destruction on every sea
and obliged to pay war risks to insurance
companies. If war comes the shipping
business of this country will take very
lively start, and should the war continue
as long As the Rebellion lasted America
and England may change places 10 regard

ANu vet the $4,000 Democratic ma

no ,ardine; he is going to put his offices
where they will do the most good. No
possible combination can wipe out that
big majority In four years.
MAYOR CAnAGuAN will have much to
answer for in the two years Of admins
tration that he is not really responsible
for. particularly In the way Of the debt
which has been accommodating fora num-
Der OF years. This will have to be taken
care of, besides great amount of new
improvements, which are demanded by
the citizens generally, who Insist that 1t
be inaugurated, but who insist also In
finding fault with the acts OF the Mayor
and Council upon all occasions and upon
all pretexts. This administration has
expressed desire to place the city In n
good sanitary condition. but the chances
are that If an extra dollar Is appro-
priated some patriot will shout n shout
that will be heard from one end Of the
city TO the other.

were several matters of importance dis
oussed, and no conclusion, pro or con,
arrived at. A few noisy members con-
sumcd tho time with frothy speeches
