CROPS AND TRADE,

Situation and Outlook in the United States.

Henty Clews writes (Aug. 4.):

‘““Th@ crop eituation shows improve-~ ment OWing to more favorable weather during “the last week or ten days. The serious damage to wheat has been con- fined to the Spring wheat sections of Minnesota and the Dakotas, where only about half a crop is expected. Business in those sections and the railroads also will be unfavorably affected by thie lose; but elsewhere the outlook is promising.

Io Spite of the damage and the shortage on the Pacifle coast the indications favor a

yield of about 550,000,000 buehels of wheat compared with 547,000,000 bushels last year. Higher prices, be it noted, assure a money value considerably in excess of last year. Corn is in excellent conditioo; and if the next few weeks pase without rojury from frost, the yield may reach over 2, 000,000,000 bushels aud prove one of the biggest on record: a fact of much conse- quence to the businees interests and railroads of the West and Southwest. The South is now more prosper- ous than for many years; in fact it is doubtful if the South was ever in better condition than today. Cotton coste less to produce tban formerly,but it is bringing very profitable prices to both grower and distributor. The South is also ‘benefiting greatly by the diversification of industry, the wonderful development of cotton manufacturing and the iron industry Creating anera of prosperity to which that section has long been a stranger. Railroad earnings are generally showing wonderfully good results, when

two phenomenal yeare. Such gains can- not always be expected. At the same time expenses are often increasing very heavily;

pointment. A number of roads have lately -increaeed or paid their first divid-

encs, and this fact has proved the strongest support which the market has had. ~ There

ares ouméer of 4 per cent dividend payers with permanént prospects, which are likely to sell at considerably higher fi.ures when the investment demand again sets in. A good many buyers are holdiug off for lower prices, who may at any time be obliged to shift their position. If the various conditions be balanced one against the other the outlook ie cer- tainly favorable. The foreign situation is improving ; money is easy; the political

campaign promises to re-elect Mr. McKinley: the crop outlook is satisfactory and trade has under-

gone @ readjustment which should pave the way for a good autumn business. On the other hand, the foreiyn outlook is not free fcom danger; & good many timid souls are waiting for anelection scare which may never come, and the unsettled condition of the iron trade throws asha- dow over the market for all the indus- trials. As the vacation period passes away, a better and more active market may be looked for.

The Queen Threat:ned.

Buenos Ayres, August 4.—Glues seppi Castagn:, a brother iv-law of Bresci, has secured passage for Montevideo, after failing to secure the recurn of passage money to New York, which he paid taree weeksago. He boasts that Bresci com- mitted a highly commendable deed, and ascerts that Queen Victoria will be the next victim. Some clerks in a British shipping office here gave him a horse~ whipping for his remarks regarding the Queen. It is not known whether he will sail for Montevideo or New York.

Lonpox, Auguet 6.—It is said that a resident of Westonsuper Mare has received a telegram from a nephew in Pekin, dated August Ist, saying ;: “ Safe in the British legation.”

New Yor, Aug. 6.— Preparations being made by the Warand Navy De_ partments to facilitate the operations of the American forces in China, not only io the advance against Pekin, but also for winter campaign, indicate that the ads

UNLIKELY STORY. — FROM PRETORIA

States That Canadian Soldiers

HAVE BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF FORGERY

_—_-—_——

And Have Been Sentenced to Ten

Years’ Imprisonment.

(SpecraLto Tue Examiner, }

Orrawa, Aug. 7.—A terrible ato y f- fectiug the bonor cf the wen of the First. Battalion C. M. R., is told in a letter re- eeived by an Ottawa gentleman from his son whois a trooper in the regiment. The letter is dated at Pretoria, July 6th. It staies that twenty men of theC M R., originally drafted from the Royal Can adian Dragoons, have each been sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment for one of the worst cffences known in war.

It is said that they forged Lord Roberts name toa commanding order which they executed upon a number of Boer farmers.

As aresult they secured arms anda large quantity of supplies—and the story goes that they them ‘sold them to Boers in the field.

The report or its face seems incredible. But itis tola by the writer with great circumstantiality.

The Government hat no information on the subject; and it is to be hoped, for che sake of the fair fame of the Canadian

coming.
