story that the British squadron has been

Utter story brings pesee to the minds of

the British warships will not interfere.
It is known that the crews of all vessels
proceeding to the sealing grounds are fully
armed with a view of resisting seicorc. but
to-day a storv leaked out that two clipper
schooners arc being secretly fitted out
Maple bay specially to meet the Yankees.
It Is ssid these vessels will each carry a
hesry swivel, besides two smaller gun».
and, disguised as sealers, will t»mptgnxnr«
so as to bring on an encounter. Regard

The other stock was never deSilt in upon

The Missouri state board of agriculture
has jnst issued a report mi tbe crop pros
|»eets to date, and U10 report seems to indi
cate that tbe erop will be considerably be
low the average. The prospect is favor
able for securing the wheat crop iu sxeel
leot condition, thus seenrmg a bigb grade
tf wheat for marketing. Never In the his
tory of the stnte has there been so poor an
4at crop harvMted as the present one. The
Texas oat loqse has spread all over that
portion of the state east and south of s
line drawn from the northeast to the
•outbwest corner, and in all that region
las doue an enormous amount of damage,
Completely ruining a larie portion of the
trop. Owing to tbe long continued aud
excessive spring rains Iu southeast Mis
souri, much of tbe corn in that tied ion
was not planted Until late in the season
and will prove a verv light crop. Clover
will yield a fair crop generally, but UaKitby
is short snd light. The effcct of th» late
spring frosts in seen in the coudition of
apples and peaches. Complaint* are fre
quent that tbe apples are dropping badly.
«rap«« are rotting conaiderably ia tome
localities.
