From tUo Country nt
CHICAOO , Juno 13. The following crop
summary will appear in this week's ! armors'
lievlow : ' 'Oicat fear of drouth , which lias
been threatening Spring wheat sections , still
continues and is bccqmlng a serious menace
to growing grain. Dry. hot winds have prevailed -
vailed In Dakota and Minnesota , adding
10 the already serious outlook in many portions
tions ot that state untj 'territory. The edicts
of the drouth have bejrtm to bo seriously felt
in Wisconsin , Iowa and Nebraska , and very
few of the reports received down to Saturday
nlglitimt dwell uton this fact. .Many fields
of outs am reported turning yellow.iiiul . injury
to that cereal threatens now to be more severe
than even to wheat lUelf , Itains , which have
prevailed In the sections named , have all
Leon of a locaj character , and while saving
many Holds irorn ruin have not given the re-
lie ! which , according to nine-tenths of the re
ports from correspondents , would appear to
be imminently needed , Reports from Falr-
banlt , Good Hue , ileeker and Slower couiv-
ticin Minnesota all indicate serious need of
rain. The present prospect in Meeker coun
ty is tor not to exceed one-halt an uverago
crop. In Darin , Barrow. Monroe and Saul :
counties In Wisconsin , the fields are dry and
parched , and all grains are looking badly ,
Iteports from Iowa , partlcuhuly from Adafr ,
Cherokee , Malmskii , Pottawattauile , Winno-
shlek and Norman , Indicate many of the ad
vanced liclds ot grain already have signs of
turning jcllowund are badly in need of
molstuie. In Otoc aud Platte counties In
Nebraska , the wheat crop will i > a'"t percent
below an average , while reports of teilous
drouth come from Douglas Hamilton and
Webster counties. Good rains would insure
a full average yield In the larger portion of
the entire spring wheat belt , but without
them and a continuance of the nrescnt hot.
and Urj weather-would undoubtedly pi.ovu
fatal to the outlook for the entire crop , ns the
situation has already become critical.
Heports of damage como from
portions of lowa , Illinois , Indiana , Ohio.
Kansas and Michigan , but none Indicate any
gcncial injury is to result to either the win
ter or SIM Ing wheat ci ops , and that it Is to bo
confined , In the main , to isolated localities.
The section most seriously threatened Is
southern Illinois , where the early prospects
of largo crop yields have been lessened very
considerably from the r.ivnees of chinch lines.
Grasshoppers arc reported In laigo numbers
in Hamilton county , Indiana , Faycttu
and I < o an counties , Ohio , and in Wabcllo
county , Iowa. Iteports frorti Indiana Indi
cate that the > leld of winter wheat will fall
slightly below the average. In some of the
counties wheat l-as gone back during the past
three or four weeks. In Gibson county tlio
fields do not promise as much bv rtvo
bushels as ono month ago , owing to dry
weather and rust. In i.a Grange wheat
which promised twenty bushels to tli' ) aeio
will not piodnce to exceed live. The general
mwpects In Ohio continue good , and the
state has piomtso ot a full a\ erase jleld. In
Kansas and Michigan the prospect has not
changed. Ollleial reports Indicating that
Kansas will not produce to exceed un eleven
million bushel \ield , only con ( it m thu renorla
ot widespread Injury inflicted on the ciops
eaily In the season. Harvesting Is progressIng -
Ing in Missouri , Kentucky and Tennessee ,
and thegeneial tenor of the reports continues
very favorable.

An Knuouriiirlii ; ; Outlook In Spite of
Mntiiiulntors.
Niw : Yoinc , June 13. [ Special Telegram
to the BKI.J : The stock market for tlio past
week has been irregular , but prices ruled
strong. Tim most Important feature In rela
tion to Uio present market was the piob-
abillty that S. V. White had unloaded largo
( rjiantltlcsot stock upon the famous Chicago
pool. Mr. Whlto was then credited with
having organised a pool when ho went to
Chicago several weeks ago. Thopooltook
hold of the dead market nml piiccs have
steadily advanced under its influence. Four
paitlcs who were credited with the leader
ship of it , namely , Armour , Itearn and Jones ,
of Chicago , and Mr. While ot New York , un
doubtedly pulled together , and the grangers
with hnckawanna weio the favorites. K\ery
argument known to have weight with the
imbllc was used with the hope that it would
eouiu in and get ilch. Tlio deal was so ap
parent that very few outsiders invested
their money in stocks because of
this movement. I'egnlar trailers saw
through the business and were very cautious ,
They tikd to add to the boom , itis true , but
they were very wide awake and kept their
lingers out of tlio tiap. The supposition
now is that the N w York members of tlio
pool read the wilting on the wall much
( iidcker than the Chicago people did , and he
tneiofoie ( piUitlv sold out and went oil on a
tiip to Florida "for his health. " Chicago has
evidently ' 'caught onto" that little game ,
however , hackawanna stands like a rock ,
so it begins to look as It thu deacon would
have to settle his sales by paying more for
the stock than he will get , and as neatly
even body agrees that tlio piesont bull move
ment is owing to this pool deal one can
pretty clearly make up Ids mind as to the
conditions of the piesent stock market. The
whole matter amounts to this : The
market is wholly in the hands of
manipulators. Itisery doubtful whether
the pool could v"kc prices go down
very much becaVAj the majoiitv of the
brokers aie unquestionably bulls. They want
hlgherjn ices. They want people to have
confidence rn the marker , and they arc mak
ing every clloit to give the market an at-
tiactlvo character. It would seem that they
Ji3d many things to assist them In the effort
to restore confidence. The ciop outlook Is
very good , and the report of the agiicnltnral
dcpaitment lor May was , on the whole , very
favorable. Whatever changes have taken
place in the business outlook have been
advantageous. The failure ot the clfoit to
eilect u tie-up of the stiect cais had a good
effect , Indicating , as it did , that the force of
tills strike mania has at last spent itselt. It
is not likely we shall have a repetition
of those methods speedily. The most
encouraging sign is the tact that
the better part of tlio working
classes ( the sober , industrious. Intelligent
people ) have opened their eyes lo the silli
ness of the recent movement. The railroad
earnings toi last nionthgivotuilher evidence
of tire improved commercial aspect. Trunk
line stocks have been\ery stiong , and as
reason tor this strength if lias been stated
that a settlement of the Nickel Plato-Lako
Shore dillicnlty was impending. The proba
ble Introduction ot the Chicago t Atlantic
Into the pool doubtless assisted In the good
feeling.

ho usual and necessary delays and foi mall-

: ho purpose of making short speeches befoie
: ho liberal clubs at these places , thus forestall
ing the possible effects of Chamber tain's vig-
oious and early campaign addrcsi. The pre-
micrfeais , however , that thn campaign fii his
own ( Midlothian ) district will absorb all ids
strength , and ho hesitates to take the risk of
vpieliminaiy exertion , though he has prom-
scd to consider the request.
Two blanches ot the London liberal union
lavebcen formed In Scotland. One , with
leadiniarlrrs at Glasgow , will conduct the
opposition to Gladstone in thu wust of Scot-
arid ; the other , located at Kdinburg , will
icitonn similar labors in the cast Scotch
counties.
At the meeting of the Midlothian conserv-
athoVIcommitteo It was resolved notfo take
any action at pie.sent in reg.ud to nominat
ing n candidate to oppose Gladstone in that
district , but if the unionists following Lord
Ilaitington's advice , do not select a unionist
andldate theie , the conservatives will at a
later stage ot tire campaign put a stiong out
and out conservative in the lield ngainst the
"Grand old man. " All the present conserva
tive rncinbeis ol paillament liom London
Boroughs alid homu countries have decided
to seek .a reelection. Tire London conseiva-

tor tlio campaign , and sir Chailes Dill ; and
othei metropolitan mcnibeis who lavoi home
inle vvlll liavu : i haul tlmo to retain tholr

suppoit the picscnt unionist membeis ,
namely , Sir John Lubbock lor London Unl-
veisity , and Ulcliaid Chamberlain for west
Islington distiict. The latter gentle
man is a son ot Joseph Chain-
beilaln. Gladstone's bitterest ndvcsaty. Sir
Wilfred Blunt intends , it is said , to contest

ho a doubt as to the icsiilt of this foolish ex-
peiiment. Hut Sir Wilfred is fond of doing

Tlio Pmnclllto representation will be some

Several mourners have made known their in

no indication , however , of any weakening In

LONDON , Juno 13. Gladstone has Issued
the following manifesto to the electors ot
Midlothian :
( iKNri.KMKN In consequence ol the defeat
of thu bill lor thu better government of
Ireland , the ministry advised and her
majesty was pleased to sanction the dissoln
tlon of parliament for decision by the nation
of thu gravest and likewise the simplest Issno
that has been submitted to It for half a cen
tury. It is only a sense ot the gravity of this *
Issue which Induces mo at my
period ot life , when nature cries aloud for ,
repose , to seek , after sitting in thir
teen parliaments , a seat In tlio four
teenth. And with thh 'view 1 so
licit for the fifth tlmo tlio honor
of your eonlidenca At the last election 1
endeavored In my addresses and speeches to
Impress upon } ou the fact that n uieat crisis
hadairived in thoatfnlrs of Ireland.Vonk
as tlio late government \vasfor ordinary pur-
Vo < es , It had great advantages for doming
with that crisis. Comprehensive measure *
proceeding fumi that government would
liaviuecelvcd warm and o\tenslvo support
Horn within the liberal patty , and would
pioltablv have closed the lilsli controversy
within tnu present session , and liavu left the
pailhuuent of ths'ifruo to proseeulu thu now
stagnant vv oik ot ordinary legislation , with
the niultltndu ot ( lueslluus It
Includes. .Mr cm nest hope was thn
suppoit of the Into cabinet
In such a course of policy. On ( ho ' 'illh oC
hist Jannniy the opposite ] ) oilcv of coercion
was dcclaicd to have been the" choice ol tho'
goveiunienl , ttm ( Mil of Carnarvon alone refusing -
fusing to shaiu In II. The lilsh question vvas
thus placed In the foregionnd to the exclu
sion 01 every other. The hour , as all felt ,
was come , the only point icinulnliig todelvrs ,
mine was the manner In which it was to lies
dealt with. In my judgment HID pmposal of
coercion was not justiifed by thu fuels and
was doomed to eeitaiti ami disgraceful lull *
1110. Some method ot governing Ire.
land other than coercion ought , as L
ttiunglit , to bu sought fr and bu found.
Therefore , I viewed vvIIhunt nuiet the fall c.f
thu late cabinet , and when summoned by Ifcr
majesty to form a nuw one 1 undertook It on
a basis of an anti-coercion policy , with thqv
lulleU explanations to UUMJ wliosu jild I

that the allalis of lieUud , and
not for the lht time , liavo thrust
aside every other subject and iid-
iournedour hopes ot uselul and piogrosslvo
legislation. Asa iiuestlon of tlio tiist neces
