The Agricultural Bureau's Weekly Crop Bulletin. The weekly weather crop bulletin Issued by the Signal Office says: ■ The weather has been favorable for all growing crops throughout the central valleys and Northwest, except in Dakota, where drought has caused some injury to wheat, oats, and barley, but corn is reported fine and growing rapidly in this Slate and generally throughout the coni belt. From Minnesota reports show that the crops are improved, but more rain is needed in the Red River Valley country. Reports from Nebraska, lowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, and Arkansas show the conditions for the week especially favorable for corn, which has made rapid growth. Harvesting is in progress as far north as the fortieth parallel in the central valleys. Thrashing is in progress in Tennessee, and the damage to wheat from excessive rains lias been overestimated. Reports from ihe tobacco .regions of Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina show that the crop is doing well. Favorable rains occurred over the cotton region. In Alabama, Northern Louisiana, Arkansas and South Carolina the cotton crop is improved by seasonable weather and well distributed rains. In Mississippi the crop was not injuriously affected. In Southern Louisia-.a the rice and sugar crops are improved by abundant rains, but a week's dry weather would still further improve the crops. In the Middle Atlantic States, Now England and Ohio some injury resulted from continuous rains and the absence of sunshine, although the crop prospects continue good in these sections. Reportß from Southern New England show all crops, including tobacco, unproved and in fine condition. NORTHERN PACIFIC PLANS. A Combination with the Grand Trunk to Be Undertaken. T, F.

ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS. The Crop Outlook Favorable and Trade Active. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: It bag been a week of considerable excitement in speculative circles and of heavy general trade without material change in condition*. As all depends jj, r „ large meamre at this season upon crop prospects, it is most encouraging to find the reports iu this particular unu-tially Incurable, the only noteworthy exception being that some vnuage to cotton and grain from frequent rains is reported at Galveston. Iu the Northwest the groin outlook is particularly fine, great improvement being reported in quarters where there had Uen some apprehension. With crops of unusual magnitude highly probable, and with the general volume of business so maintained that an increase of 90 per cent, over last year appears in the clearing-house returns, the’ prospect is not gloomy Detroit notes quiet business and Kansas City and Omaha report fair activity. At Milwaukee improvement is seen, with greater activity, and at Cleveland and Pittsburg the ’iron and other trades continue to mend. Collections are still slow at Milwaukee, but at Detroit there is a visible improvement. The money markets continue amply supplied. In the iron business there is a s.ronger feeling at all points, with quotable improvement in mill iron.

ITS RECORDS GONE. Camp 20 of the Clan-na-Gael SuiUlenly Disbands. Camp 20 of the Clan-na-Gael, at Chicago, has been disbanded. This camp is the one to which Dr. Cronin belonged, and which, it is thought, contained many—if not all—of his brutal murderers. The story is that it was Edward Spellman, acting in his capacity of District Officer of Illinois and Michigan, who disbanded it. When this information came upon the State’s Attorney and the investigating committee it was a complete surprise. Thoy were interested in preserving the camp intact for the present, their purpose being to obtain possession of all its records. The disbanding of the camp means the destruction of the records and the further thwarting of the authorities in their endeavor to investigate the secret doings of the notorious club. Tho State’s Attorney has now a strong suspicion that Spellman disbanded tho camp for the sole purpose of having its records destroyed. PROTEST FROM THE CLAN-NA-GAEL. A Manifesto Issued Relating to Dr. Cronin’s Death. Tho Executive Committee of the Clan-na-Gael have issued a manifesto to the public in which they say that the organization should not be held responsible for Dr. Cronin’s death.
