KANSAS CROPS.
Promises Well and Everything Else
Makes n Healthy Showing.

Topeka, Kas., June 4-(Special) A sum-
married report from correspondents of the
Kansas board of agriculture in nearly ev-
cry township in the state was made pub
lie to-day by Secretary Coburn, giving con-
dition of growing crops on May 81.
Unusual and almost uninterrupted cool
weather, with abundant seasonable rainfall
over much of the state has been excellent
for wheat, and it's general condition of SO
is an advance of points over that at date
of the last report, April 20. From a very
few localities of least rainfall some old
crop chinchbugs are reported, but not yet
doing much damage or propagation. In
Kansas chinchbug circles the season thus
far has been one of discouraging depres-
sion, while the wheat has continued to
prosper. The same weather so congenial
to wheat has, however, held back the corn,
and while the stand end prospect are very
good indeed, and cultivation is well in
hand, the growth is not vigorous, nor can
il be until there is a succession of warm
days. The general condition of the state
is given at S.7, and the reporters note a
tenths of the counties. Only thirteen coun-
ties in the state show an average of less
than O. per cent in condition of wheat.

and Wallace. The counties of Sedgwick

and Clay are the only counties where the
average condition or corn is less than 40
per cent.
Oats-The average condition is a. Some
counties which raise most oats report the
lowest conditions. Highest conditions are
in Meade, Pratt and Sedgwick, the latter
reporting 102, and Morris but 81. Through
out the state conditions differ widely, even
in counties adjoining.
Potatoes-The acreage of potatoes Is rep
resented as 10 to 10 per cent less than one
year ago. Condition, 90.
Sorghum-As one year ago the reports
indicate an increasing in, and acreage, the

more prominent broom corn counties show

New York. June 4-Bradstreet's to-mor-

The only favorable features of trade are
encouragement at the outlook for fall busi-
ness and improvement in demand and

west, particularly Texas, have improved
with seasonable rains, and the prospect IA

coast. A fairly satisfactory jobbing trade
continues at leading cities in Northwestern

Stocks and RnndL

New York, Juae 4.-There were some
room traders on the Stock exchange to-
day who manifested occasional timidity as
TO the stability of values at the improve
ment which has been sustained now for
the greater part of two weeks This eie-
ment took their profits from time to time
during the day and their selling had a
slight temporary effect by causing sman
recessions in the more susceptible stocks
But the offers to realize were absorbed
without notable effect on the general mar
ket which remained strong and firm all
day and closed at practically the best
prices of the day, net gains being the rule
which extended to noteworthy proportion.
i'm some of the specialties. Chicago Gas
was the center of interest in the market
and displayed continuance of the
strength which 1t has enjoyed for quite a
Heightened period. A determined drive was
made against this stock along towards the
close of the market, apparently with the
purpose of effecting a decline in the gen
eral market by inducing sales to realize
as was done yesterday. The engagement
of 100000 in gold for shipment to Europe
was without appreciable effect on the mar
ket.
The strength of the bond market con-
tirIted unabated and a considerable degree
of confidence was noted in the dealings.
The following was the range of prices
yesterday. as furnished by the c. S. Lee
Commission Company, 200 New York Life

New York, June 4-The first summer
day had an immediate effect on business
in dry goods in jobbing circles. Buyers
from nearby points were in evidence this
morning and although their purchases in
individual cases were light in character,
the aggregate went a long way towards
improving the tone of the business pass
ing. There were many specialties in goods
to be had at low prices and these were
taken advantage of by buyers. In all
staple cotton lines the demand was small.
Manufacturers are still the heaviest buyers
of the cheaper grades of bleached goods
and brown goods are very quiet Coarse
coiored cottons are dull in all grades. Print
cloths are still quoted at 1-16. Woolen
goods show no change.
