The Crop Report.

The crop report of the Department ofAgri--
culture at Washington, makes the area OF
spring wheat nearly the same as last year,
about twelve million acres. There is an in
crease OF one-siXth of last years breadth IN
Dakota and decrease in Nebraska and a
small region in Minnesota and Wisconsin,
Minor spring wheat districts show small
advance. The extension of the area in Da-
kota is due mainly to settlement and the ne
cessity of ready money for improvements,
and also somewhat to last years unsatisfac-
tory flax product in Southern Dakota, The
effect Of low prices Of wheat has been coun-
terasted by the superior rate OF yield OF re-
cent years.. The condition of spring wheat
averages 9S1 against 81 in June of last year;
Wisconsin 81, Minnesota SO, Washington
100. Winter wheat is not quite so promising
as in the first of May. A slight decline In
the condition is reported in the West and
low condition of the Southern crop is more
reduced. Yet the average is only reduced
two points, from 94,9 to 92,7 In New York
it is not tiilering as in years OF strong ROOT
growth. 1t is very promising IN Maryland
and Virginia except in wet lands. In the
South it has been affected with rust shrivel-
an injury from drought in Texas, rain and
floods in Ohio and hail storms in Missouri
The prospect is good for a small fraction
above twelve bushels per acre. Rye has al
so declined from the general average of 95.7
to 94.4 during last month. The barley acre
age has been increased three per cent and the
condition averages 100. Last year IN june
it was 50. The large acreage of oats in 'S5,
has not been extensively increased. 1t has
been slightly reduced in Kentucky and Ohio
where the area was abnormal last year. The
increase will approach half million acres.
The condition averages nearly 96 against 81
in 1885.

Chicago Carpenters
Strike.

CHICAGO, June 10.-The Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of Chicago held a
meeting last night to take action in regard to
the impending strike in the ten hour shops,
which is expected to occur next Monday
morning. Unless the shops conform to the
time standard, adopted by the rest of the
trade 1000 men will lay down their tools
next Monday. About five thousand earpen-
ters are working on the eight-hour work and
eight-hour pay rule. The men claim that
this is the State law as to the number of
hours constituting legal days work, and
that it is the law of the nation under the
labor laws enacted by Congress and State
legislatures. They claim that employers are
violating these statutes in contempt of the
law, and they are therefore hopeful of the
success of their cause. They base the entire
Justice of their demand upon the fact that
they only ask for eight hours pay for eight
hours work, although the national and State
laws make eight hours full days work. Ii
the comparatively few master carpenters
who are seeking to compel their men to work
ten hours, adopt the tactics of the master
painters and try to induce the 300 other mas
ter carpenters who are in favor of eight
hours to join them, there is a probability, it
was said at last night nights. meeting, of a
general strike of seven or eight thousand
carpenters employed throughout Chicago.
