CROP CONDITIONS. !.
IN. Y. journal of Commerce. J


Every report regarding foreign crop con-
ditIons Ia less favorable than the one pre-
ceding. A few weeks ago the reports ool-
lected and given out By the French MIL
iers' Association indicated that the
French crop would be likely to turn out
as we'll as that of last year. though IL was
admitted that this depended upon the
maintenance of very favorable conditions,
and some decrease from last year would
not be surprising. ALREADY commercial
authorities are estimating that the cror
will be 20. COZ. 600 bushels less than last
year, andsssome OF the estimates Of the
decreaEed yield are greater than this. Re
ports from Russia ara steadily growing
worse. AS to wheat they are particularly
bad from the provinces that supply ths
greater part OF the exports. The Russian
shortage is now variousiy estimated al
from 81, 600, 600 to 100, 000, 900 bushels com
pared with last year. The crops Of
now estimated to be In the aggregate 10,
600 600 bushels or more behind those O
last year. The Indian wheat crop har
vested last March was II, 900. 900 busheli
| less than the crop harvested In March

A DELUGE OF ADVICE.
Why Newspaper Correspondents DO
Not Travel ON the Presidents Train.


Surprise was exhibited on account of
dispatch stating that the President had
requested that newspaper correspondents
be excluded from his train on the trip to
Lake Champlain, says a Washington dis
patch. s
The surprise was greater ON account Of
the uniform pleasant relations that have
always existed between the President and
Newspaper men In Washington. The rea-
son for the change was an unpleasant
incident of the Presidents sojourn at
Hot Springs, Va. when q Jealous corrs-
spondent OF q New York morning news
paper sent series Of sensational dis
patches concerning the Presidents al.
ieged excessive smoking.
These dispatches declared the Presi-
dents health was impaired from the hab-
1t and gave details shat aroused wide pop
ular interest, Judging from the annoying
letters sent to the President and Mrs Mo-
kinley on the subject. Well-meaning but
Jealous reformers appealed to the Prest
dent fer the sake OF his country to give
up smoking and many patent-medicine
men volunteered to assist him with
special remediea
Mrs. Mckinley received many letters
from temperance and religious people AZ
pealing to her to use her influence with
the President to induce him 60 quit the
weed.
All OF this advice was entirely unnec-
| essary, for the President, who has smoked
all his iii; never smoked to excees he
felt deeply annoyed. Finally, Secretary
Gage, who was at Hot Springs with the
President. took the matter in hand and
warned the correspondent that II the dis
patches did not cease ne would be ex-
PEELED from the grounds and denied the
right to return TO Washington with the
Presidents party.
