Extended the Time. "Owing to the change being made in the gas line from the old to the new field all the consumers may expect a light shortage of gas for at least two weeks, which time it will take to make the change and to connect up the new wells to the line now being laid As soon as the new line is the wells connected we expect to give better service, by far than that given during the past two years. The company now has meters on hands it is urgently requested that all persons who expect to use gas this winter will leave their order for a meter at once so that the company may be able to make orders in advance to the manufacturers for what meters we may need for other consumers. We are paying a bonus to the manufacturers in order to get all meters to supply our patrons at once and it is very hard to get an order, for the demand on the manufacturers is so great that their capacity is almost exhausted. All the gas companies located in the gas belt have been driven to the meter system in order to supply their customers. We being some 42 miles from the gas field] are driven to force the gas such a long distance, requiring the best class of pumping machinery and from 800 to 1000 horse power steam to drive the great air pressure to supply our customers with gas that it entails an enormous expense. J. S. Bowers. Owing to the scarcity of meters and the slowness of the manufacturers to supply our orders we have extended the time for consumers to supply themselves with meters until November Ist. After that date gas will he sold only to those people who have the meters. This matter refers to consumers in Decatur. Monroe, Berne and all others along our line J. S. Bowers.

CDS» CROP IS S.K State Statistician Has Comniled Some Figures On the Subject. Biggest Part of Crop Has Matured and Chance of Blight Is Now Very Slender. There Is a Decrease This Year In the Acreage Over Last Year. Indianapolis, Oct. 10. —"The Indiana corn crop is safe,” said B. F. Johnson, chief of the Indiana bureau of sta Istics. “Os course, heavy frosts just now might do some damage, but the biggest part of the crop has about matured and there is little danger of it being seriously blighted.” Reports are being compiled in Mr. Johnson’s office from every county in the state showing the acreage devoted to the various crops this year. The corn acreage figures are of greatest interest just at this period and are complete with the exception of reports from four townships in the state, the acreage in these having been estimated. The state’s corn acreage this year is 4.227.501. In 1902 corn was planted in 4.282,317 acres and in 19'»1 the acreage was 4.385.447. There is a decrease this year of 54,816 acres, and this coupl'd with the “off’’ season for the growing of corn will make the total production of the state considerably below last year.

IRREGULAR CONDITIONS Characterize Trade Situation, Says Eradstreet's Review. New York, Oct. 10.—Bradstreet's weekly review of tra le today says Conditions are still irregular. Bust ness Is of fair volume, but not so active as a year ago. partly because of the backward season, heavy rains in terfering with crop movement and collections, vexatious labor troubles, past and present, discouraging building operations, and the spread of the conservative feeling among buyers, based upon stock market liquidation and the feeling that high prices of many products will tend, if it has not already done so, to automatically check consumption. Many underlying conditions are. however, still favorable. First in im portanco should be reckoned the decidedly better tone of advices from the corn crop, which has developed a larger yield and a better quality than was earlier deemed possible. Special inquiry by Bradstreet's points to a yield of at least 2.250,000.000 bushels of a grade generally far superior to that of a year ago. Collections, too. though backward, are improving as the grain and cotton movements expand. The volume of business doing by the railroads are excellent, though the familiar car shortage trouble is looming up despite improvements in terminal facilities.
