Smaller Area, Smaller Product, Thar
Last Year

WASHINGTON, June 10-Statistician
Robinson of the agricultural department
today issued the following cereal crop re-
port, Mr.. Hyde, the new statistcian, not
taking charge until after this report:
The report of June /. consolidated from
the returns of township, county and state
correspondents Of the department of agri-
culture, makes the acreage of winter wheat
at present growing, after allowing for
abandonments 946 per cent of the area har-
vested last year, 800 per cent of the area
sown in the fall of 1896 This, in round num-
bers, is 21, 562, 900 acres. The percentage of
winter wheat acreages upon the basis in
dicated of the principal winter wheat
states are as follows Ohio, 81; Michigan
80; Indiana, "a; Illinois, 81; Missouri, 80;
Kansas, 81; Californ a, 1O5.
The condition of winter wheat has fallen
since the report of May 1st being 1876 pei
cent against S0.2 on that date, decline OF
IL points. The condition of June 1st last
year was 779. The percentages of the
principal states are Ohio, SS; Mich gan
10; Indiana, co; Illinois, S8; Missouri 40
Kansas, SS; California, 73.
The percentage of spring wheat area fol
the entire country as compared with thai
of 1886 has been increased, being 10 per cent
of last years acreage.
The total area of spring wheat sown is
therefore, in round numbers, 1900, ,00t
acres. and the combined winter and spring
is "a $4,000 acres, or 1913 per cent of that
harvested in 1896.
The condition of spring wheat shows an
average for the whole country of S9.6 per
cent. against 999 per cent on June l, 1896
The condition of all wheat IS S2.7, against
SIG per cent the same date last year. The
conditions of spring wheat for the prin-
cipal spring wheat states are as follows
Minnesota. "a: Wisconsin, 30; Iowa. so: Ne
braska. So; South Dakota, IS: North Da-
kota, 81; Wash ngton 100: Oregon. 9S.
Inquiries made by the United States min
lister to Argentina tends to show that this
years wheat acreage will not exceed last
years, and may be much less.

Europe has been injured by frost

the backward season. and in Spain Italy
and Hungary its quality S deteriorated
by persistent rains. Condition report ed

neglected at the board, but advanced
slightly on bid quotations.

Sermons without number have been
preached in the newspapers and in f1nan-
cial journals on the duties of bank direct

of bank that has been wrecked by the
officers OF the institution when the direct
ors OF the bank have been in Ignorance as
to the way the institution has been man
aged. The first knowledge the directors
have OF the rottenness of the institution
would be the order Of the bank examiner
to close the institution because an exam
ination disclosed the fact that the institu-
tion was insovent. All of the sermons that
have been preached have apparently been
wasted. As one of the directors of the Ma
tional bank Of Illinois said, in extenua-
tion of the failure of the directors to d.
rect: "If we had insisted upon making an
examination Of the bank 1t would have
looked as though we lacked confidence in
the officers" That is the view too many d.
rectors take In regard to the bank they
are supposed to help manage. Directors
are chosen, almost without exception be-
cause of their large holdings of stock or be-
cause their names would give the public
confidence In the institution. Nine banks
out of ten, according to good authority
are managed absolutely by the officers,
and while the directors hold the stated
meetings they are merely for the purpose
OF approving the acts of the officials of the
bank. Once or twice a year, perhaps, they

The foregoing is perhaps the most re-

times of the extent to which the legislators
elected by the people have dared to go
In the imposition Of new burdens. 1t will
be observed that of the charges for New
York, alone amounting to over s21, 900, ,0OO
more than one-half is for school purposes
as alleged. namely $780, 900 for four new
high schools and s1O,OOO,OOO for new COM
mon schools. This large proportion is
eloquent Of the ideas of the powers that
be of the direction in which the most
money may be made for no one anticipates
anything else than that the money thus
voted is to be subject to the usual draw
backs Tor political ends. Such an object
lesson has not been offered for q long
while, and 1t is worth studying.

mans crop estimate, showing small in
dicated aggregate of growing spring and
winter wheat than made by private statis-
ticians, helped in maintaining the strength
of the market. The seaboard clearances of
wheat and flour were much more liberal
than the day before. The market became
settled after II o'clock. but averaged strong.
July advanced to 69Ac and fell back to
6S5sc, but by 12:15 o'clock had again ad-
vanced to 69Ac. In the last half hour July
touched 69asc and was bringing 69d69Ac
at the close. Corn acted strong after few
