The state department has received
long report by cable from President
Schurman Of the Philippine commits
sion of the conference that was held al
Manila Saturday between the members
Of the commission ana the representa-
tiyes Of Aguinaldo. The text of the
dispatch was not made public, but it
was stated that Mr.. Schurmans report
agreed precisely with the Associated
Press statement OF the proceedings in
the conference as cabled from Manila.
II realized now more strongly that
the capacity of the Fiipinos for self
government is an undetermined ques-
ton. The United States government
is willing TO accord the natives an OPP
portunity to test their abilities, for the
Philippine commission proposes to al
low them almost complete control of
their local affairs, exercising only such
supervision through the United States
military as may be necessary to guard
against the consequences of mistakes
on the part of native municipal and
provincial officials in their first expert
ment in self government, The expert
ment is already in progress at some
points. The Philippines outside of the
island of LuZon, where the United
States authorities have hoisted the flag
and assumed sovereignty, nave con-
tinued their local governments under
military direction. As far as the re-
ports indicate, the experiment is work
ing well and promises to have a good
influence in shaping the attitude to-
wards the United States of a consider
able element among the Filipinos who
have been suspicious of our intentions.

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, July Emancipation of a
bearish movement crop report was the
chief factor in a decline in wheat to-
day of A@$c. 1t also had a bad eff
feet of greatly restricting trade. Corn
showed sympathy to the extent of nc
decline. Oats declined %@kc Provis-
ions were firm and closed unchanged to
sc higher.
September wheat opened easy &c I'M
der Saturdays closing price at 72E@
73c; ranged from 72%@72Bc, to 1880
and closed at 73c. The usual anxiety
over the approaching government crop
report was evident at the beginning and
put a damDer on the trade. Primary
receipts were S60,2T6 bushels, as COM
pared with 1913, 304 last year. Duluth
and Minneapolis received 500 cars; Chi
cago 13 cars eight Of which were con-
tract grade. The market showed con-
siderable weakness during the early
trading and lowest prices of the day
were recorded in the first hour. Be
sides the apprehension Of a bearish
government report, the market depress-
ed by lower nglish and continental ca
bles, and by favorable weather through
out the wheat belt. The constantly in
creased worlds visible supply was not
at all encouraging to prospective buy
ers. The increase last week was A.
600 bushels. Worries shipments
amounted to 1859, 900 bushels. After
the market touched 72B@73c, a better
feeling manifested itself. Shorts bought
moderately and a slow advance took
place, the price getting to 1880, before
the demand ceased.
Shorts apparently had a good deal OF
confidence in their position and support
from that source was o or less prom
irent on every decline. The market
ruled very dull during the afternoon,
and gradually declined to 73c. 1t was
bringing that price at the close.
Corn was dull and weak all day,
sympathy with wheat being a factor.
The approaching government crop re-
port also had its effect upon specula-
ton, as it is expected to show a crop
of at least two billion bushels. Ship
ping houses were the best buyers. Re
ceipts were 721 cars. September rang
ed from $685. @335Bc, and closed about
&c lower at 33%c.
Oats were influenced almost entirely
by wheat and corn and a substantial
decline was chronicled. September was
sold by both longs and elevator people.
There was a good demand for cash, but
the speculative article was hard to dis
pose of. Receipts were 302 cars. Sep
TENDER ranged from 20&c to 20Bc and
closed as@Ac lower at 20$sc.
Provisions were slow, but firm. Hog
receipts were heavy, but outside support
was good and selling by shorts restrict
ed. Prices kept within a narrow ran
gle, slightly higher than Saturday. At
the close September pork was sc higher
at $3.50. September lard unchanged at
$5.35, and September ribs 2R@5c high
err at $5.07h@o.10.
Estimated receipts tomorrow:
Wheat, 155 cars; corn, l,025 cars;
oats, 335 cars; hogs, 2 1000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

ages for the last ten years. The con-
dition in New York and California is
SO, in Wisconsin SO, in Minnesota SO,
Iowa 100, South Dakota So and North
Dakota SO.
There is an increase of ] per cent in
the acreage in potatoes, and the crop
promises well. The wool report indi-
Gates the average weight per fleece as
being 5.95 pounds, an increse Of 1.5
pounds over last year.
The proportion of the wheat crop of
1898, still on farms, is reported at 9.5
per cent, or about 81, 900, 900 bushels.
The condition of the forage crops and
principal fruits will appear in the print
ed report, the unprecedented large num-
Der of correspondents reporting this
months having rendered it impossible
to tabulate all the products reported
upon in time for telegraph synopsis
even by working overtime.

U. S. CROP REPORT.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Following
is the monthly grain crop report issued
to-day by the Department of Agricul-
ture:
Preliminary returns TO the statistic
ian OF the department of agriculture on
acreage of corn planted indicate an in
crease of about 5 per cent over the
acreage harvested last year. OF the
twenty-one States having one million
acres or upwards in corn last year, all
but Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio show
an increase, and the decrease in three
States named is very small. A much
larger increase than has usually taken
place is reported as having been con-
templated, but a late or otherwise I'M
favorable planting season has restricted
operations in Illinois, Indiana, and sew
eral other important States. The aver
age condition is S6.5. as compared with
90.5 on July /, 1898, 82.9 at the cores
pending date in 1897, and GIL. the mean
OF the July averages for the last ten
years. The condition in the principal
States is as follows:
Ohio and Missouri. IS: Indiana, so:
Illinois, Sc; Iowa, 81, Kansas. 80, and
Nebraska, &c.
The condition of winter wheat has
further declined during the month OF
June, being 65.5 on July /, 1898. 91.2 at
the corresponding date in 1897 and 1851,
