eminently to the agricultural interests.
The wheat situations show little change
III the week, butthis and next years de
livery appear to have parted

Of prices Of wheat for Immediate use,
pointing to unimpaired strength in the
nearby statistical position. while on the
other hand the large yield foreshadow-
ed tends to easiness i'll prices of next
years crop deliveries. The price of
corn reflects less anxiety about the crop
induced by the return of weather ia
vorable to planting and growth.
Weather conditions do not altogether
favor the cotton crop. dry weather be
ing complained Of throughout most Of
the south Atlantic and Gulf stations.
The possibility of our selling common
upon the realization Of Il large crop is
reflected in the interest manifested in
spot and August delivery cotton, the lat
ter selling at Il considerable premium
over next seasons delivery. Reports
from the iron and steel Industries are
of very large business being done by
the mills and furnaces.

Sighted Fourteen Miles OFF Key West
Chased by the Bancroft.

Key West. Fla. May PA Spanish
steamship thought to be an auxiliary
cruiser. was sighted by he United States
Warship Wilmington and Bancroft. four
teen miles off Key West last night. and
NJ last accounts she was being chased
by the Bancroft.
The ship was Il three-maStcr steamer
and apparently a merchantmen of large
tonnage. She had one smoke stack. M
doubt was entertained Of her being n
~Spaniard. because. when the Bancroft
put after her, She steamed away iii
full speed.
The Wilmington was coming in for
coal. when 1T about $50 last evening be
tween twelve and fourteen miles off
hey West. She saw the smoke Of Il
steamer and turned in the |latter's dircc-
ton.
At about the same time the Bancroft
came along and asked the Wilmington
If She had seen anything Of Il three
naSted steamer which had chased the
auxiliary gunboat Eagle. The Whining
ton then notified the Bancroft of tho
three maSted steamer. and while doing
80 Il stranger hove III sight. The Ban
croft was after her. The chase was Il
most exciting one when the Wilmington
last saw the two vessels.
1t is presumed that the Spanish shiu
observing the Wilmington took her for
Il hattleship and thought il safe To con
tlnue scouting. trusting to her superior
speed for escape. but when the Bancroft
appeared. the Spaniard wasted no time
III trying to get away.
Captain Todd, of the Wilmington, has
no doubt the Bancroft will catch the
Spaniard.
\ custom house official here. when he
heard the story. said he had seen Il
strange ship off Key West last night.
adding that she was gone in the morn
ing. Captain Todd is confident the YES
sci being chased by the Bancroft is a
Spanish auxiliary cruiser on scout duty.
The Wilmington. direct from the
blockade. reports all quiet there.

Three Unknown Men Make An Attack
on Il Sergeant.

Key West, May PA sergeant Of
artillery Oh duty at u mortar battery
near Fort Taylor was fired upon by
three unknown men. whom he says he
knows to be Spaniards. The fire WAS
promptly returned, but the men escaped.
The affair, which is involved in Il good
deal Of mystery, began yesterday after
noon. whcn three swarthy men made an
attempt to enter the gate of the reser-
yation. but were summary turned off
by the sentry. No further attention Was
given to the incident until last night.
when. between 10 and IL O'Clock, the
sergeant of the artillery guard. near the
mortar battery, discovered the figures of
three men Il few yards ahead of him.
Almost simultaneously they opened fire
upon him with pistols. Three bullets
whizzed harnlessly past the sergeant,
but the fourth lodged in the f1eshy part
of his left arm. just above the elbow.
The sergeant dropped his raised rifle
and as he did so and before he could
raise his rifle again the men turned and
fled out OF range. He sent several shots
after them and then went for the guard.
y sharp lookout was kept for the
strangers and soon after midnight Il
suspicious noise was heard outside the
gate near which the mortar battery is
located. An investigation resulted III the
discovery of Il carriage in the street iISt
outside the gate. The %Scrgeant ave
orders to fire and a volley was sen at
the vehicle. A moment later. it APP
pears. three men were seen running up
the street and the fire of soldiers was
directed upon them. but without effect.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
For the Week Ending Monday Ma,
%, 1898.

The week ending Monday, May 23rd
WAS. on the whole. the most favorable
OF the season. Warm. sunny weather
with occasional showers, caused much
Improvement nearly everywhere. witt
the exception Of portions of the western
section, where lack Of sufficient rain i
becoming serious. h temperature
was above the normal every day. rising
to over 90 degrees on several dates
Abundant sunshine and light showers
in the east caused vegetation to take on
4 fresh appearance and grow vigorously.
The drought in the west has chiefly in
jurcd small grains. Transplanting to-
bacco made much progress this week.
Wedding corn and c%hopping cotton are
progressing. Crops are now improving
rapidly.
Eastern District.-The period of fine,
warm weather from the 18th to the 22nd
was very favorable for farm work and
the growth of crops. Much Improvement
was noted almost everywhere. Though
the stands of cotton and corn are not
extra good, both crops have turned fresh
and green. and are growing rapidly.
Wedding corn and %chopping cotton have
made good Roadway. Tobacco has been
about all transplanted, and is growing
off nicely. In the southern counties the
lack of sufficient rain is beginning to be
seriously felt, as more moiusture is need
ed for maturing small grain. In general,
wheat and oats are very promising. Pea
nuts, rice, melons. potatoes and gardens
are now growing fast. The potato bee
tie is doing much damage.
Central District-In general, the week
was very favorabIe; it was warm. sun
ny, with occasional showers, causing
much Improvement in crop conditions.
In many of the southern and western
counties, however. rain is much needed.
Farm work has been vigorously pushed
since the 18th. Flowing and wedding
corn and chopping cotton are III full
sway. Cotton and corn are both small,
but have improved in appearance. and
are doing we'll now. \ large amount of
tobacco was transplanted and is doing
well. The reports concerning wheat and
oats are becoming more diversified; rust
is reported, chiefly on the blades of
wheat. Small grains are heading rapid
~. Cutting clover has commenced.
B~lackberries promise a large crop.
Western District.-The week was very
favorable for farm work. but. though 4
number Of correspondents report good
growing weather. with Improvement in
crops, it is plain from the majority of re-
ports that the deficiency in rainfall is be-
coming serious. Owing to the drought
the prospect for small grains has become
discouraging. and the growth Of all crops
is being retarded. Planting is about
finished. except late patches. The stand
of cotton and corn is not good; the
plants are small and weak. The best
thing under the circumstances is
thorough cultivation. though this work
is made difficult by the dry. hard condi-
ton of the soil. Rain is needed to permit
transplanting tobacco. Gardens, pas
lures. spring oats and all late planted
crops need rain. Insects are numerous
and destructive.
