The Crops.

The crop prospects during the past
week for an excellent yield have been
on the decrease. The rank and rapid
growth, hot and wet weather caused
wheat to rust some while in other
cases the stalk appeared to lack
strength enough to support the large
heads and commenced to crinkle
down before fully matured. NAM
farmers commenced to cut their
wheat before it was ripe enough
which will cause it to shrink badly.
Reports of this kind come from every
direction in this vicinity and the yield
and quality will not be near as large
and good as anticipated week ago.
Barley and oat harvest is about
over with and it is expected that
there will be big yield. From some
farms, oats are reported being light.
but generally they are good. Thresh-
ing will commence next week.

BERLIN, June 1o.-The cession of the
South sea islands to Germany focused at
tention during the week. A curious feature
was that while on receipt of the news the
press, as well as everybody else. at first
expressed satisfaction, this changed rad
ically as the week advanced and the terms
of the bargain became known. Not only
did the Radical and Socialist press severe
ly criticlse the terms as exorbitant and
far beyond the value of the islands, but a
large portion of the press reiecting the
views OF other parties did the same. Prince
Bismarck's saying in 1855, characterizing
the Carolines as Lumperei, is quoted. Ac-
cording to the latest official statistics, Ger
