preceding year. This reduction, which is still 
very large, is less than last, year as the result 
of the income and expenditures. Hie former 
has fallen off, in round numbers, $50,000,000, 
and of this some $20,000,000 have been made up 
by decreased expenditures. The latter have 
been $5,000,000 loss in ordinary expenses. $10,-

CROPS AND MARKETS. 
Saturday, July 5. 
According to cabled British crop reports 
rain has dispelled fears of threatening drought, 
and spring-sown grain has greatly improved 
in condition. England is reasonably sure of 
an early harvest, which has a depressing effect 
upon prices of breadstuffs the world over. 
Recent reports of unfavorable weather in 
France have ceased to be cabled; and late dis¬ 
patches from Russia contradict the English 
sensational reports of severe droughts in the 
southern provinces of the empire. Reports of 
wheat iu different parts of this country, 
though good on the whole, are a trifle less so 
than a week ago. 
There is some difficulty iu perceiving any 
statistical reason for any material advance iu 
hog products. The outlook for the Indian 
corn crop is excellent. Abroad the potato 
crop of central Europe of late seasons has 
been good, where it supplies the hog with 
food, as Indian corn does here. It is highly 
probable that there are 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 
more hogs in Europe to-day than there were 
a year or two ago, and upon the outcome of
