 Washington, July 3O.-rhe weather bu- reau's weekly summary of crop conditions says:--
 Recent rains have improved late corn in portions of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Mussouri, but the early crop was prac- tically ruined before the rains came. In Iowa, the crop has sustained less injury than In the before mentioned states. and the rainfall has been copious and well distributed. In the great corn states east of the Mississippi river, except over north ern Illinois, drought md excessive heat have continued with disastrous effects upon corn, which is now in Il critical condition. In Michigan and generally throughout the middle Atlantic states, the corn crop Is in 1ue condition.
 Harvesting of spring wheat Is well ad- vanced over the southern portion of the wheat region. In North Dakota, aud northern Minnesota. the crop has sustained but little injury from heat.
 The crop of cotton over the greater part of the cotton belt Is improved, good growth and clean fields being generally reported.

 THE STOCK MARK Fl.
More Dull and Sluggish Than at Any
 Time Since Lnst Summer.

New York, July 30.--The stock mar
 ket this morning confirmed the impress
 sion created in yesterdays market,
 when the accumulation of favorable factors over Sunday signally failed to !, awaken any active interest in the spec
 ulation. Mindful of yesterdays expe-
 rience, the traders were even more dis inclined to attempt a movement of prices to-day. The dullness and slug gishness of the market exceeded any
 thing that has been seen since last sum-
 mer. The extreme fluctuations reached as high as point In only a limited
 number of stocks, and in them, as in
 the general market, the movement was
 wavering and uncertain. The largest part of the dealings was in the United | States Steel stock. But the reports in
 morning newspapers of the good pros poets of a settlement of the strike were intellectual to cause any strength in the | stocks.
 1 There was feeling of uncertainty as | to how far the strike settlement had already been discounted in the recent advance in the stocks. The few desul- tory advances in individual stocks, some of them in obscure industrials, were indifferently held. The whole market sunk more and more into waiting attitude.
 The present ease of money takes that factor out of immediate consideration. In spite of the operation of the amend ed revenue law the governments re- ceipts continue to run well over those of last year, while the expenditures thus far this month have fallen more than $SO0,o00 below those of July last year. As a consequence the govern- ment deficit for this month is only little over s200O,000, whereas it had amounted to s4665, ,639 by this time in July of last year. The sub-treasury at New York has taken over a million dollars from the market since Friday last. For the last week in July last year. preceding the government inter- est disbursements in August, the sub treasury yielded small sum to the New York money market. A continu- ance of these unlocked for conditions of the government revenues will mate rially affect money market conditions during the perior of interior crop de- mands upon New York.
 These doubtful factors in the outlook discouraged any buying demand and made the market yield even to the light pressure that was brought to bear upon it. The reactionary tendency gained force and the closing was dull and weak at about the lowest, many important railroad stocks showing net losses of a point or more.
 Ther ewas some early show of strength in the railroad bond market on well diversified demand but the best prices there were yielded in the late dealings. Total sales par value $1 ,125, ,000,
 United States bonds were unchanged in quotation on the last call

New Haven Department Will Find
 Sturdy Opponents in Bridgeport.
 Yesterdays Bridgeport Standard re- marks: within the course of a week or ten days the regular members of the police department who possess ability as baseball tossers will begin practice ing for their annual contests with the New Haven policemen. The latter started in yesterday at Savin Rock, when tWenty-three men put ill an ap- pearance. New Haven hopes to put forward a formidable team this year, and many are clamoring for places on the nine. Policeman Carey, of Captain Brewers precinct, was the unanimous choice for captain and Detective Frey was reelected manager. These off, cers will select the nine men for per manent positions on the New Haven team.
 Bridgeport will be represented by a strong team this season, and when the date arrives for the first game New Haven will find sturdy opponents. A number of changes are contemplated in the team, and those who have the say as to the complexion of the nine will recommend several. Just what mate rial can be chosen from the seven new members of the regular force is matter of conjecture. The men are already seeking a practice game and in order to make things interesting prac- tice game between the policemen on duty on each side of the river is being talked of"

 Bridgeport, July 30.--It required the combined strength of five policemen to remove Thomas Vim, of New Haven, from the 2:03 train at the railroad sta ton this afternoon.

that was a mighty big If" A few min
utes before Nelson came up to the river
on the opposite shore from Pittsburg Land
ing he met courier with a note from
Grant, saying Get here as quick as YOU
can. l am in need Of help: the rebel
army, 100000 strong. is in my frontp 1t
is plain TO be seen that he was not think
ing of consulting with his division COM
manders about taking the initiative that
next morning.
The limits of this sketch viii not allow
me to say all that would like to say about
the battle of Shiloh. The story is well
known. Perhaps no event of the war has
given rise TO so much discussion or to so
many one-sided accounts, to say nothing
Of the bitterness of feeling engendered be-
tween the principal actors. That there
was a surprise no one can deny. That
the Army Of the Tennessee was caught
mapping, all must agree. That Nelson
and Buell. saved the day has passed into
history. In those times our people were
over-cOnfident of the power Of the North
to crush the South. Our leaders We're
too sanguine, and looked for an early
peace. Right here there is something that
must never be forgotten: BuelPs line OF
battle on Monday extended over about
three-fourths of the front we exposed to
the enemy, with Nelson on the extreme
left, Crittenden on his right, and McCook
on Crittenden's right. These three divi-
sions numbered in all some 10000. On
the extreme right was Lew Nallace's Di-
vision, which had not been in the battle
on Sunday. Now. how many men did
Grant bring into the field that second day
that were in the fight on the first day?
Gen. Wallace In his official report ac-
knowledges the assistance he received from
Willich commanding regiment in Nc
Cooks Division. The inference is obvious
and irresistible. Between McCO0k and
Wallace Grant had no troops sufficiently
compact to prevent the necessity of Will
lich's regiment (the sd Ind coming to
Wallace's aid. Coming straight to the
point, it will be seen that Buelrs army
did the most Of the fighting on the second
day and reclaimed the field. which had
been lost on Sunday. Buell's loss was
