GENERAL CROP OUTLOOK.
Conditions in the Various Agriculture
States,

Washington, June 27.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows:
The region from the upper lakes
westward to the north Pacific coast
where the temperature conditions We're
favorable. Excessive heavy rains oc-
cured In the central and west gulf
districts and in portions of the central
Missouri and Ohio valleys, while at
the lower lake region and New Eng
land and whole portions of the South
Atlantic states central and eastern
Missouri, continue to suffer from
drouth. Sunshine is generally needed
in the central gulf states, Tennessee.
Ohio valley and lower lake region.
Except in upper Missouri and Red
River of the North valleys, where, as
a result of low temperatures the growth
of corn has been slow, this crop has
made good progress, altho suffering
somewhat from lack of cultivation in
portions of the OHIO valley and middle
Atlantic states and in central and
western Nebraska. In Iowa, corn has
made vigorous growth and is we'll Gull
tivated, with better stands than pre-
vious reports indicated, and the out
look in Illinois, Missouri and Kansas,
where early corn has reached the silk
and tassel stage, is very favorable.
Heavy rains have interrupted har-
vesting of winter wheat in the Ohio
valley, Tennessee and portions of the
middle Atlantic states, but elsewhere
this work Is progressing favorably.
Spring wheat on the lowlands in the
Dakotas and Minnesota is suffering
somewhat from rust, but as a whole
crop conditions are promising.
Except in the lowlands in southern
Iowa and portions of Dakota and Min
nesota, the oat crop has advanced fa
vorably and continues in a promising
condition.

Des Moines, June 27.-The regular

The week was alternately warm ana

slightly below normal. The rainfall
was variable, as usual, at this time of
the year, but the area in which there
is now much excess of moisture is rel

warmth during the week to promote
the healthy growth of corn, and in the
larger part of the state good progress
has been made in the cultivation of
this crop. The early planted fields are
being plowed the third time. The
stand is generally better than was in

will be laid by about as early as in the

light and short on poor soil to excess

New York, June 27.-As chairman of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society's
board Of directors, Paul Morton has
begun legal proceedings to recover
| money alleged to have been wrongfullv
taken from the society, and he also
has cut off certain perquisites in the
society. Mr.. Morton last night mad :
the following statement:
II have retained Messrs Austin s
Fox and Wallace Mcfarland as special
counsels for the Equitable society in
connection with the investigation of
the past financial transactions of the
society by Price, WAREHOUSES & Co..
and Haskins & Sells, chartered ac-
countants, which is now in progress
and to institute such legal proceedings
as they may consider to be appro.
pirate for the recovery of any money
and property to which the Equitable
is bound to be entitled as the result OF
their examination. Messrs. Fox and
Mcfarland have been instructed to put
themselves in communication with the
attorney general and the insurance de-
partment and to act in harmony with
them.
1T has been the rule heretofore to
allow directors $25 for attending ex-
ecutive committee meetings of the
Equitable society, and these allow
ances were made whether the directors
were present or not.
"This has been changed. No director
will in future get fees unless he is
present at the meeting, and no officer
or employee who happens to be a di-'
rector will hereafter receive any fee
for attending board meetings of any
kind"

John B. Egger, of Appleton City, a

The prices have advanced rapidly
under the influence Of active local and
shipping demand, and today were SO
tx higher than yesterday.
A fresh supply of at least 10000 had
been looked for yesterday. but only 3d.
600 were bulletined and of these 1000
were direct from Kansas City to the
Anglo. Early bids were but 5 cents
higher, but very little time was need
ed to make it Decent higher mar
ket, and the bulk of the business was
done on that basis. Receipts We're
light at all western markets, only
about $4,000 being reported, against
10000 a week ago. Eastern orders
were liberal and it became a very spir-
tied market to the finish, bulk of all
hogs selling at $5.47k @5.521s, with
prime of shipping quality at $4,000
5.55 mostly, and top sale of extra
choice heavy at s5.571s. AS a matter
of fact, more hogs sold at $3.50 than
any other price.
The strength of shipping trade was
indicated by the fact that 32,517 found
outlet last week, against 21,56S during
the corresponding week of last year.
The average weight Of hogs received
at Chicago last week was 223 pounds,
agafnts 220 pounds the previous week
and 221 pounds a year ago.
Sheep.
A light supply and active local and
shipping demand have caused con-
slant upward movement for both sheep
and lambs. Spring lambs were as ac-
tive today as moderate supply would
allow, sales being made at 25 higher
than yesterday, and .35 better than last
week. There was a large inquiry for
feeding sheep, with not nearly enough.
