CEREALS FALL OFF 88,000,000 BUSHELS United States Crop Promises Good Yields, Though Less Than Last Year. _ A despatch from Washington says:--A crop of 2,496,000,000 bushels wheat, oats, rye and barley is forecast by the Government report for June. This is 88,000,000 bushels less than last year's harvest, but suggests good yields, and might be enlarged should present prospects maintain through till harvest, which is already under way in winter wheat in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. There is a promise of 578,000,000 bushels of winter and 251,000,000 bushels of spring wheat, a total of 829,000,000 bushels, while the crop last year was 787,000,000 bushels. Winter wheat estimates of 578,000,-000 bushels show a loss of 51,000,000 bushels from the May returns. This was attributed to numerous frosts late in April and early in May, and to drought in the South-west where the bulk of the losses have occurred. and equable in climate and covered with the luxuriant growth of tree terns that was the distinguishing characteristic of the Carboniferous period. Northern Greenland above the seventy-eighth parallel has a very moderate snowfall. Most of the moisture is precipitated farther south, and e-o the rocks along the northern coast are not covered as they are in lower latitudes with a load of ice. In those rocks Dr. MaeMillan, the explorer, has seen coal seams ten and even fifteen feet in thickness, so ea«ily mined that the Eskimos can pick the coal out with their rude implements.

Adalbert Korfanty, leader of the insurgent troops in the disputed Baltic area. t discovered a rough, i technique fer handling the Upper Silesiam dtilemma and they have begun putting it into practice with the result that the tension already shows signs of relaxing. There is a justified hope that the new British policy will succeed in liquidating the Upper Silesiam civil war speedily. The technique consists essentially in British troops walking up to a position of the insurgents and telling them in a few unmistakable words to clear out. At the same time the German irregular forces are told unmistakably not to advance. The territory thus cleared of insurgent Poles1 and kept clear of German irregulars,; is called- a "neutral zone." As fast as) it is cleared, Germain plebiscite police* under he command of British officers^ are moved in and preserve law and! order, and the mixed German andl Polish popuiiace rejoices and goes to* work again, and everybody is happy! and satisfied, except the civil war] profiteers and their friendls with ulter-i ior motives.

FORESTS AND DELAY TRAINS A despatch from St. John, N.B., says:--Trainmen report millions of caterpillars or army worms between Fredericton Junction and Harvey, on the Canadian Pacific Railway lines, and that train travel has been greatly impeded. An official mid that for miles the forest has been stripped of foliage and the tracks are covered with these worms which grease the rails so badly that freight trains are having a hard time getting over this section and passenger trains have to double or cut and be conveyed in two sections. All of the C.P.R. trains have been equipped with special steam jets which are placed in front of the wheels and a 200-pound pressure of steam is used to help clear the worms off the rails. The condition arising from this invasion is said to be the worst ever experienced by the C.P.R. in this district. B ucl; w liea t--n ominal Rye--No. 2, $1.40.
