CROPS IN THIS COUNTRY PROMISE TO BE GOOD, WHILE THEY ARE SHORT IX EUROPE—FARMERS ADVISED TO HOLD THEIR CROPS AND BEAP ‘THE BENEFIT OF THE INCREASED PRICE. The Farmers’ Alliance folks are greatly in- terested in the reports of small shipments of wheat and increasing prices. The alliance Prophets have been predicting « riso in the price of wheat and have been advising farmers to hold their crops as long as possible in order to get the advantage of the increase. ‘It has been said that the alliance was going to try to make a corner in wheat. This the al- liance leaders deny, but they say they have done their best to inform the farmers of the condition of the wheat crops of the world, so that they may know what tocalculate on in making their sales. Through the “reform press bureau,” which is located in this city, the alliance leaders are sending out a circular, prepared some time ago and recently adopted for circulation among the farmers. which enters into a full discussion of the-condition of the crops, predicting an ex- cellent crop in this country and quoting the indications in crop reports that the foreign crop will beshort and prices high. The recom- Toudation to the farmer it thei he hold his wheat for the rise in price whenever it is possi- ble for him to do so. Since the 12th of this month 400,000 of these circulars have been sent outto the farmers. Two hundred thousand will be sent out between now and Monday, and it is contemplated circulating a million I is expected that the result will be slow ip ment of wheat to the markets and that farmer will himself claim the increased value of his product, instead of giving the specula- tors the bonefit of the profits. In other words, the farmers will do little speculating in their own way. WHAT THE CIRCULAR 64s. ‘The circular says in part: Our Agricultural Department issues overy month a government report about the crops. ‘These reports estimate the number of acres sown and give the percentage of condition. A percentage of 100 is a somewhat ideal crop and would indicate a yield of thirtecn bushels anda fraction to the acre. It has been surpassed only once, namely, in the year 1882, when the condi- tion at harvest was 104. and the yield thirteen and one-half peracre. Our present crop is some- what similar to the crope of 1884, the govern: ment ort maki acreage the same anc the condition someshat laos Ts 1884 at harvest time the condition of winter wheat was re- ported as 98 and of spring wheat as 99. This Year the condition of winter wheat is 96.6 and that of spring wheat 92.6, or about $}¢ per cent less than the final report of 1884. As the harvest of 1884, the largest wo ever had, was 512,000,000 bushels the last govern- ment report would indicate a crop of 494,000,000 bushels, say 500,000,000 in round numbers. The home consumption has increased with the population and is certainly over 350,000,000 bushels, probably 360,000,000, which leaves us 140,000,000 for export. During the last ten years we ex 127,000,000 yearly in average, of which Europe received 107,000,000 and the West Indies and South America 20,000,000. This year we may have 13,000,000 more to spare, which, however, will go to South America on account of the reciprocity treaties, and Europe will receive the average quantity of about 107,000,000 bushels and no more, as we have no reserves to draw upon. . TBs make both ends mest there if uO) ‘good average crop, but Eur. ines cota good wrecagh coop) ta thon dh bas worst crop failure of the century. Last winter was phenomenal ali over Euro in ite severityand duration. Snow and ice covered even Italy and Spain and were actual carried far into Africa. Vessels on the Medi- terranean came into port thickly covered with ice and this abnormal weather worked incalcu- lable damage to the winter wheat in all the countries of that continent. The spring has been late and very unfavorable and even in June snow and frost destroyed most of what was left in half of Germany and a great part of Austria. That the crop disaster is not locsl or moder- ate or exaggerated can be clearly seen by the action of the different governments. Russia appointed a commission to investi- te thecrop damages, which reported wheat fi'per cent below average andrye much worse. tis the custom of that government to quiet the alarm of the people, and the damage,there- fore, is surely not less than reported, but prob- ably much more, 0 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE AITUATION. It dischsses generally the condition of the foreign crop and tells the farmers how to take advantage of the situation to get the full value of their product. “There will be very few, indeed,” the circular suggests, “unwilling to hold off to eee what will become of this move, as in view of the situation rices could never be lower, but even if one- Palr'or more of the farmers should be per- sunded by the arguments of railroad and elevator men to rush their wheat into the market, the result would be the same, for if aco! lerable number of those who are in the babit of marketing early hold back a lit~ tle while the farmers’ deliveries would fall short of the requirements and the effect would be the same as if no wheat had been brought inatall. “There is, however, little danger that any considerable number of farmers could be in- duced to market their eS resent prices, as resolutions tease olilsacas leak age anos Mak Ay hoa their enemies. ‘They also know that the remnanta of last year'scrop are smaller than ever, and that Present prices are entirely out of proportion PEESIDENT POLK TALES.

Sr. Pact, Mrxx., July 23.—All effort to bring off the Fitzsimmons-Hall fight across the border in Wisconsin has been abandoned, and every departing train this morning carried away ite contingent of sleepy-cyed, disgusted, red-hot sporta, Most of them had stayed up all night in the expectation of = sudden summons, ® ride on a» special train and a ring in some secluded dell, but they were disappointed. Every half hour or so the word would go around the hotels that the prin- cipals of the two men had agroed upon a lo- ity, and that a special train was in waiting at the depot. Then s small army of sports would troop down to the siding, stub their toes in the switches, dodge in aud out between the moving freights for the train that was not nese end then tramp back to the hotels breathing maledictions on the author of the canards. This program ted three or was repea’ four times between midnight and daybreak, and did not tend very much toward reconciling the visitors to the situation. The farce of guarding the amphitheater with the National Guard is being continued, but the callow young men in fatigue uniforms will probably be relieved before night and per- mitted to go home to their mammas. Fitzsimmons is just as sore as he was yester- day, while Parson Davies, who could have got- ten the men together and bad the fight over by midnight had he been so inclined, makes # bluff of saying that he will keep Hall in condition for a few days in the hope that there may yet bea meeting. As the facts become generally known and it's realized that aiter Fitzsimmons’ defi of yesterday afternoon there was no good reason why the two men should not have been brought together, either in Minneapolis or across the border line, the feeling uguinst Hali increases in intensity, and the epithets applied to him by many of his former adherents have been the reverse of com- plimentary. The money received from the sale of tickets was refunded this morning and during the day Fitssimmons and Hall will each receive a check for $1,500 from the Minnesota Club as an hon- orarium in part recompense of their outlay in training. The total loss to the club will not be ‘than $10,000. It is given out that all the officers will in short order and that the organization in ail probability be dis- sn Myersand Jimmy Carroll have to meet before the Olympic Club of New.

A pretty sore crowd of Chicago aldermen and sports started for home today, leaving anything but blessings behind for Sheriff Bean. They will be accom; as far as Milwaukee by # dele- representative sports of the cream city. ‘The four companies of the first regiment, state national guard, who were ordered out b; the governor yesterday to prevent the amphi- ; used for the fight, were withdrawn at $ o'clock this morning.

After o Year's Work Flames tp the HUM Farm Mine Extinguished, Prerencao, July 23.—A special from Dunbar, Pa., says: Tho workmen who have been labor ing slmost incessantly for « year since the dreadful Hill Farm mine disaster have at last put out the last flickering dame,and bave pushed themselves to the great dam of water that stands in the lower beading of the mine. The struggle has been «to and laborious. oue for the covipany those who have lind charge of the work of reciaiming the mine anu possibly the dead bodies of the unfortunate miners whe gave up their lives on that durk day of June 26, 1890. Whether anything we concealed in the water that as yet fills the depth of the miue can only be deternined when it is all pumped out, Af the meu perished in this part of the mine it 48 considered possible that at least some of their bones may be found, but nothing more, unless it may be the dinner pails of the antortanate Victims or possibly their lamps or tools. Af they met their death in auother part of the mine where the tierce fires have beea ragi for months little hope ix to be entertained securing, at this Inte day, any relic of them. It will doubtless cousume @ great deal of time to pump the water from the mine, as is reaches back from the heading » distance of 100 feet aud by the dip of the mine becomes very deep at the lower end. Tbe work, however, will be done as svon as possible and the mysteries that have lain hidden for the past year as to the place and condition of the thirty-one ill- fated miners will, in the quickest time possi- ble, be given to the relatives and the world ot jarge. —_— THE SHAU’S 5! 8 ILLNESS.

Russia has thousands of troops om the frontier of Persia within eusy march- ing distance of Teheran, while it would take England three mouths to get troops there their presence should be necessury.
