Of the rliss0uri Weather Service
The Missouri Weather Service,
in its weather crop bulletin for the
week ending June Goth, says:
In the southeast section the
mean temperature Of the week was
slightly in excess of the normal ,
but in the southwest, central and
northern sections there was an av-
erage deficiency of from two to
four degrees per day, the last two
days being unusually cool.
The average precipitation was
considerably in excess of the nor
NAL in the northeast, central and
southwest sections, and about nor
NAL in the northwest, but over
most of the southeast section the
rainfall was very light. The av,
erage rainfall in inches in each sec
ton was as follows: Northwest,
1.29; northeast, 2.02; central, 1.91;
southeast, .43, and southwest LIT,
In several of the northern coun
ties very heavy rains occurred do
ing considerable damage by wash
ing, and overflowing small
streams. High winds also die
much damage by hail, reported
in Macon, Adair and Bates coun
ties.
On the whole the week was eX
ceedingly favorable for plant
growth but in many counties the
rains have seriously interfered
with h,ying and harvest and the
GROUND has been too wet for cult
vation
Wheat is about all cut, except
in some of the northern counties
and th,eshing and stacking are il
progress where not too wet. Con
siderable damage ny rain is re
ported in several of the centra
and southern counties.
Oats have continued to improve
rapid, and will be much better
than was expected few weeks
ago. They are ripening and har'
vest isin progress.
Corn has grown rapidly, is be-
ginning to silk and tassel, and
much Of it has been laid up. Ir
some districts where the wei
weather has prevented cultivation
it has become very weedy, but is
generally in good condition; chincf
bugs are still doing much damage
in places, though somewhat check
ed by rains.
'Tobaccois doing well, flax will
soon be ready to harvest, and cot
ton is in bloom.
Grasses have made good growth
and haying has commenced. Hay

1t is evident that Mr.. Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle, who are on
the shore of Buzzard's Bay, con
sented to modification of the
terms of the contract made with
that bond syndicate, allowing
them to pay domestic gold now,
instead of foreign gold at the ex-
piration of the time for their last
payment on those bonds-October
[, next. 1t is also evident that
they did not inform Mr.. Hamlin,
who is acting secretary of the treas
ury of the modification, as he at
first stated very positively that
there had been no modification.
Later Mr.. Hamlin hedged by re-
fusing to discuss the matter at all,
