Crnn Report for juno.

The Michigan crop report for June
is of unusual Importance. III says that
the average condition of wheat June
/, was in the southern counties So, and
in the state rs One year ago the aver
ages were 90 and ~. Wheat is late,
aud has been injured more than usual
by the wet weather The plant is
quite generally reported yellow" near
the ground. The presence of insects
is not noted.
The number of bushels of wheat re-
ported marketed in May is 6l0,975, as
compared with 537, 749 reported in May,
1896, and the amount in the 10 months,
August May, is s,975,3 o4 bushels, as
compared with s,3l9,6l9 bushels in the
same months last year.
The acreage planted to corn is re-
ported at 90 per cent of average years.
The acreage sowed to oats is OF per
cent, and the average condition of this
crop is SO per cent. The average con-
dition of meadows and pastures, and
of clover sowed this year is 9s. Apples
promise about two-thirds, and peaches
one fourth of average crops. One year
ago the estimates were % per cent for
apples and SO per cent for peaches.
Farm wages are lower than one year
ago in each section of the state, and
one year ago they were lower than
in 1895
The number of sheep now on hand
in the state is nearly s per cent less
than sheared in 1896. 1t is probable
the complete returns will show less
than 1,2oO, 900 sheep 6 months old and

REVIEW OF TRADE.

The gain in business continues not with.
out fluctuations. and at the best moderate,
but yet distinct 1t is still in quantities
rather than prices, although in some lines
whole the number of hands employed, the
volume of new orders and amount of work
done are increasing. Prospect of good crops
of wheat and cotton helps growing demand
from dealers whose stocks gradually gain,
ing consumption depleted, and in the money
and exchange market large buying of Amer.
lean securities has an influence. Wheat
looks well and the best trade authority now
estimates the yield at 5l5,000,000 bushels,
with many state and railroad returns 10
supportit Among the encouraging features
noticed are the Improvement In May rail-
road earnings and the advance in the price

Turko-Greek peace negotiations grow
worse instead of better. The ambas-
sailors of the powers have declined to
accept either Assim Bey or Ria Bay as
a Turkish peace commissioner. This,
together with their refusal to discuss
the retention of Thessaly by Turkey,
threw the sultan into such rage that
he forthwith summoned meeting Of

He kept in telegraphic communication
with most of the European capitals,
and gave stringent orders TO the grand
vizier, who Immediately resigned. The
special commission accomplishing moth
ing but a split among its members, the
majority of whom expressed them
selves emphatically as opposed to
yielding to the powers. The Turks
are very angry at the alleged brusque
declaration of Sir Phillip Currie, the
British ambassador, that England will
never permit Christians to return to
Turkish rule. 1t is also stated that
the German ambassador is very much
disconnected to find Count Nelidoff,
the Russian ambassador, supporting
Sir Phillip in this respect, and though
it is still alleged that Germany is adj
vising Turkey to put every man under
arms, it is believed she has seen the
advisability of falling into line with
the other powers.
Advices from Athens show that the
gravity Of affairs is fully recognized
there. Nj. Scoulodis, the Greek foreign
minister, said: Il do not hesitate to say
that the present is most critical
