Illinois was thoroughly ruined by their
attac cks. In South Carolina school
library closed for the summer was found
in autumn to be completely eaten out
and valueless. Even in the Department
of Agriculture, at Washington, an accu-
mutation of records and documents, stor.
ed in a vault, on examination proved to
be thoroughly mined and ruined by these
destroyers.
Three frame buildings in Washington
were found recently to be so badly eaten
up by this insidious foe that it was nee
essary to tear them down. Damage of
the sort mentioned has occurred as far
north as Boston.

between the steamers City of Rome, bound

and a lot of other days. Some of the
States have State holiday day, but
strange as it may appear there is no ma
tional holiday day. l don't mean to be
understood as saying that the Fourth of
July is not recognized as holiday
throughout the United States, but l do
mean to say that except by common con-
sent there is nothing about it that makes
it national holiday. OF course it is a
legal holiday in the District. as it is in
several States. but it is not n legal holi-
day in all of the States. For all of that,
neither is Christmas nor Thanksgiving
day in many States. Washington's birth
day is a legal holiday in this District
but just over in Virginia it is not. though
if there is one State where it should be

PROGRESS MADE BY CROPS.
Weather Is Favorable for Corn Guilt
walton and Wheat Harvest.

Weather Is Favorable for Corn Culti-
walton and Wheat Harvest.
The following is the general summary
of crop conditions as shown by the
weekly bulletin of the weather bureau:
With the exception of the upper Mis-
souri, valley, where low temperatures pre-
vailed, all districts east of the Rocky
mountains received ample heat during
the week ended June 10. The rainfall
was very unevenly distributed, being am
pie in most northern districts, but INSULT
cient in portions of the central valleys
and of the middle Atlantic and Southern
States, although good rains fell in some
parts of these districts. The week was
favorable for the cultivation of crops,
and this work, which in previous weeks
was much hindered, is now in q very sat
isfactory state. AbnOrmally low temper
atures prevailed over most of the pla-
teau districts, with frosts in some places.
On the Pacific coast the weather cOndi-
tions were favorable.
Except in eastern Missouri and central
and southern Illinois, corn has made good
progress throughout the corn belt. Gull
tivation has been brought up to date, ex-
cepJ in portions of Michigan, Wisconsin
and South Dakota.
Winter wheat has progressed under
favorable conditions and harvesting is
now well advanced in Kansas, Missouri
and southern Illinois, and has begun in
Indiana and Maryland. The reports from
the southern portion of the wheat area
generally indicate yields lighter than
were anticipated. Fair yields of good
quality are reported from California. and
in Oregon and Washington the crop has
made good progress.
In portions of Wisconsin and Mime
sofa dry weather is needed for spring
wheat, but this crop haG generally made
very satisfactory progress throughout
the spring wheat region and is beginning
to head in the southern portion. Very
favorable reports continue from the north
Pacific coast.
The oat crop has suffered to some ex-
tent from excessive moisture in Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota, rust in southern
Iowa, rank growth in northern Illinois
and drought in southern Illinois, but in
these States and generally elsewhere tbe
condition of the crop is promising. Oat
harvest is in progress as far north as
Missouri.
In Illinois drought continues in the
southern and central parts, where vege-
tatiOn is suffering. Corn has made rapid
growth, is clean, has been cultivated a
second or third time, and some laid by.
The replanted is up TO good stand.
Oats, rye, barley and berries are prom
ising; there is a rank growth of oats in
the north: moisture is needed in the
south. Wheat harvest is well advanced
in the south and begun in the central
part; the outlook is favorable. Rye is
being cut in the south and is ripenng in
the north. Barley is heading in the
north. A large crop of clover is assured.
and the quality is fine. Timothy is not
so promising. Apples are dropping. and
the crop will be light. Potatoes have
been cut short in the south by drought,
but elsewhere are promising.

N6H IUlh. crop developments, while
still of an irregular char
acter, hold, and have perhaps added to
the improvement manifested last week,
for which warmer weather is RESPONSE
bic. Sales of summer goods are more
active and business for fall delivery
appears well from all sections save
Texas, where impaired wheat crop re-
turns have deterrent effect. Conf
dence in the future still continues.
Export trade is good, railway earn
ings large, building active; steel mills
engaged on the heavier forms of fin
ished material will not close down this
summer. The labor situation, though
disturbed here and there, is on the
whole pleasant one. Crop prospects
in general continue favorable, although
corn conditions are spotted and the
plant is very much behind.
Prices of all products still seem to
favor the agricultural interests. On
the other hand, new business in indus
trial lines is less active.
Firmness in cotton goods is feature
calling for note. Buyers are insistent
for quick deliveries. Recorder business
with jobbers has been fairly good, eS-
pecially at the West.
Wheat, including flour. exports for
the week ending June Is are 6SS,O17

DISQUALIFICATION Felt in Sweden.

A dispatch from Copenhagen, Denmark,
says: General dissatisfaction is felt in
Stockholm and throughout Sweden over
The speech delivered by King Oscar to the
council of ministers, in which he advocated
allowing Norway to dissolve the union
without resort to arms. The government,
which sent bill to the riksdag asking for
GuthOrity to enter into negotiations with
Norway looking to peaceful severing of
the ties which have bound the two nations
together, is also severely condemned for its
action. 1t is regarded as almost certain
that the government will resign and it is
rumored that King Oscar will abdicate in
favor of Crown Prince Gustavus.

ragged him that he threatened to kill her.
Keever then began beating the door down
and his wife, after warning him to desist,
fired shotgun, the load of nearly 100 shot
passing through the door and many enter

-" cry was made in making
deliveries and business generally
reached very high volume. Season,
able weather helped materially in the
distribution of commodities, the retail
lines being stimulated to largely in
creased activity, and there was we'll
sustained demand in wholesale mer-
chandise and in metal and wood prod
ucts.
Agricultural conditions made further
satisfactory progress. Harvesting has
extended and this prompted heavier
marketing of old crops, receipts here
being more than expected, but, on the
other hand, shipments from this port
almost doubled those of last week and
are 60 per cent over those of CORE
spending week last year.
Interior advices reflect widening de-
mand for necessaries and country
stores have good sales. Mercantile COL
lections are prompt, the banks are fair
ly well loaned up and money is in
steady request for commercial needs.
Primary foodstuffs continue in i'm
proved demand and Board of Trade
operations have reached enlarged vol
ume in both cash grain and provisions.

Stocks of wheat were decreased, but
the milling needs are light owing to
poor export trade in flour. Hog-pack-
