CROP PROSPECTS.
Present Condition of Crops aud Pasturage in
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15.-The Republican this
morning prints replies from its correspondents
in 1875 counties in Illinois, Missouri and Kansas
in answer to inquiries concerning the crop pros
poets, and comments upon them as follows
Viewing the returns as a whole, the fact
most striking is the decidedly unfavorable con-
dition of the fall pasturage Only forty-two cor
respondents pronounce the pasturage good
twenty three say fair, and 107 declare it posi-
lively bad. A perusai of the reports will show
how emphatic their language is this point.
Pasturage appears to be worse in Missouri, best
in Kansas, and only fair in Illinois. Fall plow
ing is late, and has been generally retarded by
extensive droughts. Some reports say there
Will be no winter wheat sowing if speedy rains
are not had. Missouri seems to suffer partcu
larly in this respect, fall blowing not being gen
eral IN fifty five wheat-growing counties The
conditions under which wheat sowing is to be
done appear to be fairly favorable except in
N Missouri A plurality of the writer's, about
30 per cent, say the winter wheat
acreage will be the same as last year.
% per cent. figure out an increase of
10 to 20 per cent; that is, 81 make the acreage
the same, AZ say it will be greater, and SO pre-
dict decreased sowing. Illinois and Kansas APP
pear to have sold their wheat sooner than Mis-
souri,, the latter State having fully half the en-
tira crop still in hand. Illinois shipped its wheat
largely to st. Louis and Chicago and Kansas
was drained by the urgent demand from Texas.
The corn crop shows up better than was expect
ed Forty nine counties report probable yield
of 10 to 20 bushels TO the acre; thirty-one report
20 to % bushels; thirty four estimate % to 80
bushels, and twenty eight say about 30 bushels
some Of the latter ranging as high as CO. Mis-
souri, and Kansas have proportionately better
corn crops than Illinois It may be stated of
these three great States that the pasturage has
certainly been damaged to an extent that pre-
cludes possible improvement; that the corn yield
will be better than expected. an average of about

area; that fall blowing has not been general, the
farmers being retarded by drought; that the
conditions are fairly favorable for winter wheat
sowing; that the winter wheat acreage will be
the same as last years. or slightly greater, per-
haps: that more than half the wheat crop has
been sold or consumed.

A Missouri Bank suspends Business.

ST LOUIS Sept Is. Late yesterday after
noon the Howard County Bank, at Glasgow, Mo. ;,
closed its doors and placed its business in the
hands of trustee for the benefit of its creditors
James 7. S. johnson, the president of the bank,
makes the following statement of the banks af-
fairs: ''The assets of the bank are ample to pay
all depositors and stockholders in full Hard
times and the extreme difficulty of collecting in
duced the directors to turn over the business to
trustee, who will collect and pay off, first, the
depositors, and then the stock holders. The as
sets amount to about 100000. The liabilities do
not amount to quite that sum-" One of the
largest creditors of the bank is the Laclede
Bank of St Louis. It, however, will not be
seriously affected by the failure.

Postmaster Dalton Thinks He Is Certain To
De Renominated.
Washington Special
Mr. Dalton, the postmaster of the House, who
is in almost constant communication with most
of the members of Congress, and is well posted
on political affairs, said to-day: There is but
one opinion about Mr. Cleveland's administra-
ton. It is honest and clean. I do not believe
there will be the least opposition to him at the
convention in 49, There certainly will not be if
things keep on as they now are. There is no OPP
position to MIN too day. Even those who do not
agree with him on the civil service and the silver
questions are ready to accept him on the whole
without question. Members who at first op
posed him have all come around since they
have gone home venture to say there

were watching things thought, when the opposi-
ton broke out in the House, when he wrote his
silver letter, that the party would surely be di-
vided and would go to pieces when Reagan, and
Bland, and Mills, and all the rest of the silver
men came out boldly and fought Mr.. Cleveland
Everybody thought the party would be dis

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-There have been in
the city for more than two weeks number of
representative citizens from different parts of
the West and Northwest working for increased
mail facilities. Some of them have been unable
TO have a conference with Postmaster general
Villas, while others have had unsatisfactory con
ferences with him. / am told that Mr.. Villas
established a rule unto himself some time ago
which provides that where there is a tri-weekly
service, and daily service is desired, he will
threaten to reduce the service to semi-weekly,
aud make the applicants for increased service
satisfied to have it remain as it is; that where a
weekly service exists, he grants a semi-weekly
gives the slightest increase possible
If he does not threaten to reduce the service to
prevent an increase of cost The object of the
Postmaster general is to force the people to be
satisfied with the service they already receiv-
Ing. and to bring expenses down to the mini
mum. At no time during the past ten years
have the new countries had such meager encour-
agement in the way of proper mail facilities. 1t
Is the ambition of the Postmaster general, am
told, to make statement just before the next
presidential campaign, in which he will show
largely-increased savings in his department. It
Is not his purpose to show that the people are
Satisfied with the service he has given them, nor
that he has been instrumental in developing any
portion of the country. He only desires to prove
that he has saved money
