A Fine Showing.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 1.-The farmers Re-
view reports: In Illinois all of the spring
wheat is in fair to good condition, moetly
good. The same is true of Michigan, Kan
sas, Iowa, Wisconsin and Dakota. In Ne
braska only nine per cent. of the CORES
pondens reported good, one-half reporting
fair, and the rest poor.
e Oats are reported in fair to good condition
in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and
Kentucky while in Missouri the stand is good
but not 80 favorable as in the H5f1 men-
toned. The outlook In Kansas is slightly
below that of Missouri and Nebraska falls
below Kansas while In Iowa little less than
one-thlrd report the crop in good condition,
the rest reporting fair.
Winter wheat in Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio is generally in fine shape, only II per
cent. of correspondents in the last two states
reporting it as poor. In Michigan, Ken
lucky, Wisconsin, Kansas and Missouri the
crop is reported at from fair to above an av-
er8Qe.

Labor Troubles,

PITTsBURG, Pa, June 3O.-The Homestead
workmen are awaiting the word to strike,
and the Carnegie officials are prepared for
matum is talked of on every corner. Some
believe that the firm may ask for another
conference, but the majority think the de-
claration will be only in the shape of def
mite statement that on and after June 80,
1892, any person desiring work must accept
the company's scale. When the discharge of
100 men engaged in the open hearth depart
ment was noised about not a little sensation
was created, the concensus of opinion being
that the move was only the first of a hostile
kind on the part of the firm. These views
were soon dispelled when the leading men,
bers o. the Amalgamated association stated
that the discharges were due to the closing
down of six furnaces which require repairing.
There Is not q man, woman or child in
Homestead who believes there will not be q
strike, in fact, murmurings of strike are
heard on every side, and it is not stretching
the truth to say that the 4, 600 union workmen
are ready to lay down their tools at a mo-
ment's notice. ALI hopes of a settlement
have failed, and only the stearn reality of a
lengthy strike confronts every person in the
usually busy little town. The feeling
present between the employees and the firm
is not a pleasant one, and some of the re-
but complimentary to some of the officials of
the firm.
Ample preparations On the part of the
company for any emergencies that might
arise have been made, and a glance at the
company's big plant, fortified as it is with
high fences, and strong ones, too, gives one
the impression that quite an attack must be
made ere an entrance is gained. The en-
ployes have given new name to the plant,
and in their opinion it is perfectly suitable
for the surrounding. '.Fort Prick" is the IT,
tie selected by the men,
The point in dispute has changed from the
question Of a minimum basis on steel billets
to that of the time of signing the scale. The
firm is steadfast in insisting that all scales
shall last only until Jshusfy /, while the
are opposed to any expiration of
agreements entered into before June 30.
Both sides are determined on this point, and
a hitch will certainly occur. Every move
made by either side this week will be care
