no visible cessation Of the downward move

the bear raiders scented danger and began
trimming their sails. The upward move

WASHINGTON, July 19-The foreign
crop report of the Department of Agricul-
ture, just out, based on advices received
by the foreign statistical agent of the de-
partment at London, late as July 1, is,
in brief, as follows:
In Russia meteorological conditions have
been favorable for cereal crops in most
parts of European Russia and harvest pros
poets are considerably improved even in
regions where conditions at the beginning
of spring werS, unfavorable. In Germany a
great improvement in all the winter cereals.
particularly in winter rye, has been shown
the past month. The condition of every
crop in the middle of June is officially re-
ported above medium, though winter wheat,
potatoes and lucerne were considerable
nearer to good than medium and all the
the two conditions Only approximately
good medium harvest of the spring crops
in Austria is to BE- counted on at best.
Maize promises we'll there. In Hungary I'M
less there is more Improvement before har-
vest this years outturn of the cereals
will fall considerably below that of 1902,
the deficiency in the case of wheat be-
ing about 15ls per cent. Most of the Bull
Carian crops are reported in very good
condition.
Storms and foods have caused extensive
damage to crops ana vineyards IN Italy.
In France tie estimated area of winter
wheat is LIZA acres less than in 1902 A
marked improvement in wheat and other
crops occurred there during June and the
crops now are, doing well. Generally favor
able reports come from Denmark.
In Great Britain the wheat crop is every

up to an average yield. Advices to the de-
pertment from the government of India

-Representative Sales

Sheep-Rece1pts light shipments none. The
receipts Of sheep and lambs this week have been
OF fair volume. the total showing increase of
nearly 300 last week, 600 the
week year ago and decrease of 1000 COM
pared with the corresponding week two years
ago. The receipts thus far this year 1900
smaller than the same time last year, and for
the month thus far there is only a slight change
compared with the period year The
early part of the week there very good
demand from local butchers and they took the
supplies early at strong prices compared with
those prevailing at the close of last week. There
only about enough to accommodate this
branch OF trade, and. therefore, shippers
not much in evidence Later in the week, how
ever. the receipts larger and all buyers
were in the field. Some of the closing sales OF
the week were probably not up to expectations,
but good kinds in nearly all cases sold as high
at the beginning OF the week, and occasional
ly, on account of superior quality higher prices
we're realized. Possibly the best that can be
said of the market this week is that IL was
healthy at strong prices compared with those
prevailing at the close of last week. While
lambs have been salable high 1915, most
of the supply has sold at $5G5.50. Yearlng
sheep have sold high 81 and old sheep
high $3.50, but most sales have been at S3le
$50, with common kinds at 81. 50Q2.15. The re-
ceipts to-day, as usual at the close Of the week,
were small and the range In prices was not
established for any class. 1t the opinion of
all dealers, however, that sales were at satisfac
tory prices compared with yesterday, and good
clearance made promptly on that basis.

The Young Woman's Christian Temper
snce Union OF San Francisco attacks Presi-
dent Benjamin Ide Wheeler. of the Univer-
sity of California, for smoking cigarettes
on trains in the presence of students and
drinking In public places. We cannot dis
euss now the propriety Of President Wheel
er's conduct but We wonder why so much
emphasis was laid on the publicity as an
aggravation of the o1ense. What effect
would II have on the morals of the students
to know that President Wheeler smoked
and drank in the privacy Of his own apart
ment, but avoided being seen at these
smusements for fear Of setting . bad ex-
ample?
