culture for August LIST show an improve
ment in the condition of Iowa, small de-
cline in Wisconsin and Nebraska, and
heavy reduction in Dakota causes deteri-
Grafton. Drought and cinch- bugs and heat
have been excessive in many districts that
have Produced fair yield Notwith-
standing, the harvest is two weeks earlier
than usual, and the quality is unusually
good, except in sections where heavy loss
from blight occurred. The general average
condition is reduced from S32 10 so. At
the time of harvest last year the average
was so. The present average is 81 for Iowa,
| instead of 80 last month. No less than
% counties, with 100000 bushels, report
the condition at 100 or over. In Minnesota
| there is an increase from rs TO so. The re-
duction in Wisconsin is from rs to 70; in
Nebraska, from SO to 80, and Dakota from
IS to 81. There has been heavy drain in
the condition of corn since the LIST of July.
The average, which was 90, is reduced TO
81. The heaviest decline is in Illinois,
Wisconsin and States west of the Missis
sippi river. In the Eastern and Middle
States the condition is well maintained.
1t indicates that the crop does not much
exceed % bushels per acre, though the fu-
ture condition may increase or decrease
the ultimate yield. Our agent in London
cables to-day that the European harvest
will be 10 per cent. less than last year
| France, below 100000 900 hectOliteFS Italy,
81; England, 10 per cent. reduction in the
rate yield ON the reduced area.
The Hop Market.
New York, August 10th.-Inquiry among
| the hop dealers to-day elicits the fact that
the market is dull and stagnant, and the
! full prices quoted some time ago are now
difficult TO obtain. Very few, if any, or
| ders were in from brewers, local dealers do
not appear as buyers, and offerings are
| moderate, with only fair and medium
qualities shown. for which full quoted
prices are asked. For the moment the sit
| uation is such that anything in the way OF
round lots could be placed only at con-
| cessions, while any spirit of demand would
be very apt to stiffen the market ma
terially. Quotations are as follows: New
York State crop Of 1885, prime to choice,
cash, 28@30c; medium grades, 23@ 26c
low grades, 15@ zoe; New York State crop
of 1884, fair to prime, 1S@ pc: Pacific coast
crop of 1885, common to choice, 20G9274c.

Important Land Decision.
WASHINGTON, August 10th-In the case
Of the desert land entry of Charles F. Will
kins, from the Los Angeles district of Cali
fornia, the Secretary of the Interior has
decided that the lands within the limits of
the Executive order of withdrawal of Au-
gust %, 1877, for the benefit of the Mission
| Indians, though then covered by prinla
facie valid entry, were on cancellation of
such entry reserved by said order of with
drawal from other appropriation. 1t is
said that this case virtually decides a large
number of others of a similar character.
In the case of George w. Macy ct al,
| involving ten pre-emptiGn entries made in
the Duluth Land District Of Minnesota,
the Secretary of the Interior has affirmed
the decision of the General Land Office,
| holding some of the entries for cancellation,
on the ground that they were fraudulently
ma lie in the interest of the John Martin
| Lumber Company.
National Convention of Colored People.
PHILADELPHIA, August 10lh.-A commit
tee of colored men from PENNSYLVANIA,
Maine and Boston has decided to call Ma
tional Convention of colored people, to be
| held in rnis city next October, to discuss
the project Of erecting monuments in Wash
ington TO the benefact0rs of their race.
| The matter has SO far taken root that d
committee went to Washington last week
and made a survey of available real estate
there. Three meetings of the committee
on arrangements have been held and it is
proposed to have the Convention immedi-
ately after the colored Odd Fellows from
all over the country meet here also, that
the Convention shall consist Of five repre-
| sentative colored men from each State in
the Union. The proposed monuments
will be raised to John Brown, William
Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, Wendell
| Phillips, Abraham Lincoln, Richard Allen
and others. tits estimated the monuments
and ground will cost about 81 100000. The
money is 10 be raised by popular sub
scription by the colored people of the
| United States. 1t is proposed also to lay
| the site of the monuments of in walks of
| flower beds and circles, and each walk will
be named after the State that took part in
the abolition movement.
The Puritan Wins Race.
New YORK, August 10th.-In the race of
the New York yacht squadron from New
port to this harbor, yesterday, the condi-
tons of the contest were favorable to the
| Priscilla. the wind not being especially
brisk and the sea smooth. The wind was
from the southwest, and the yachts made
| the race with SneetS started until I1e en-
trance of Buzzard's Bay was reached, and
then it was a clear run with splnnakers set
up to the anchorage off this city. Under
these conditions it is not at all remarkable
that the iron sloop beat the Mayfiower.
The Atlantic was nowhere in the race, and
this cruise has made it foregone conclu-
sion that she will not be the chosen antag
onist of the Galatea. The Priscilla was
sailed beautifully, and everything that ex
pert yachting seamanship could do to bring
her to the fore was done. The Sachem beat
all the schooner yachts, though only get
ting the better of the Montauk by few
seconds. The English schooner Miranda
did not whisk the red flag of Eng
land over the water as rapidly as was ex-
pected of her, the Fortuna being the only
schooner with any pretensions to speed, of
which she got i'll ahead. The Puritan won,
beating the Priscilla l minute % seconds
the Mayfiower minutes Is seconds, and
the Atlantic u minutes "a seconds aggre-
gate.
