ALL CROPS SHORT

The American Agriculturist is Right. A Great Shortage in the World's Supply. PRICES MUST ADVANCE. And Europe Will Take Everything We Can Spare Evn If Russia Has as Much Wheal as Usual. JThe Wheat and Corn Crop are Especially Poor Kansas Ha ot Half a Crop A Shortaxeln the World's Sapply of Cotton The Hay Crop of Immense Value to the Anierlnan Farmer Higher Prices Altogether Probable. NEW YORK. Aug:. 20. The following is st summary of the American Agriculturist's annual review of the crop Situation and of the agricultural year: The harvest of 1893 In the United States is In many respects similar to that of three years ago, but with every prospect that home consumption and an increased . foreign demand will so advance values as to yield as large a net return to farmers as on the average of recent years. Indeed, the review makes a distinctly encouraging exhibit In ppite of the prevalent drought, though admitting that the financial stringency may interfere with the early movement of crops and have a temporarily restrictive influence on prices. The Cotton Crop. The cotton crop will be harvested on fever acres than last year. As large or a larger breadth was planted to this Staple, but the inability of many planters to borrow mcney enough to work the crop, together with drought, floods and Worms, and the still greater difficulty of getting money for picking, combine to fcerlously curtail production. August Indications point to a crop not exceeding 7.500,000 bales with favorable weather and very much loss than that If Insects arid climate continue unfavorable. This means a crop about the came as last year, and nearly 2.000.000 bales less than the great 9,000,000 bale crop of 1S91. The American Agriculturist believes the present dullness In American manufacturing to be only temporary, for there Is a scarcity rather than a surplus of staple and desirable goods and mills are already starting up to fill orders, with every prospect of being crowded to upply the domestic demand for the ensuing tlx months. English mills cleaned Tip their surplus during the great strike last year, and are now enjoying remarkable prosperity and are unable to meet the export demand. This explains why cotton commands the prices current two years ago at this date though the world's visible supply is some I.öoo.ooO bales more thnn then. With a short crop consumption will require more than this excels with a consequent advance In value. Less Than Averaue I'rndtict of Corn. Present Indications point to a crop of 1.750,000.000 bushels of corn, contrasted with 1.630.000(00 last year and over 2.000,000,000 bushels in the immense yield of two seasons previous. Put unless abundant rains prevail throughout the corn belt in August, followed by mild weather, production may shrink to the size of the 1SD0 crop, when we harvested less than any year for a decade, with a tingle exception. The review points out that while the breadth of corn Is some two millions of acres greater than last year, in the seven corn supply states over a million less acres are devoted to maize than was the case two years ago. The corn crop has been greatly injured eo far during August, the first two weeks of the month having wrought ten times as much damage as the whole month of July. Kansas will not raise more than half a crop, having but very little except in the eastern quarter and Nebraska's crop has been seriously curtailed. Karly planted corn in Sedgwick county. Kansas, has been destroyed by superheat and late planted will require one good rain before August 25 to make a fair crop. The reports of good rains all over Kansas between Aug. & to 13 are erroneous, as In four of the largest corn growing counties not a drop fell In that time and only little patches have had enough to lay the dust in four weeks. Wheat. The out-turn will not exceed 443.0OO.0flO bushels, according to the Agriculturist's own reports and its interpretations of government returns, compared to 614.000.000 as the average for the past two seasons and 4TO.O'm),ooo buhhels in ISM. Nearly 2.COO.0O0 less acres were devoted to wheat than last year and the bulk of this decrease was In the surplus states, which bid fair to have 7x.000.ft0i) fewer bushels than last year and 12.",l0i),000 bushels under the surplus states' product of 1891. Available supplies of old wheat are 40.000,000 bushels greater than twelve months since, but even allowing the farmers also hold 17,000.000 bushels more old wheat now than then, the total supplies for the ensuing year are only 500.000,000 bushels, or 114.000.0ij) less than the average of the two previous crops. Our home consumption has averaged 2'.".000.000 bushels annually, leaving an apparent export surplus of 133.000.000 bushels against exports last year of 192,000,000 and the season before 223.000.000. Oat, Small Grain and II y. This year's acreage of oats was never exceeded, except in 1S89, when over 750,000,000 bushels were grown on 27,450,000 acres, compared with 620,000,000 bushels on a slightly smaller acreage this season. This Is within 40.000,000 bushels of last year's out-turn and Just, about an average of the previous three' crops. The usual quantity of rye, buckwheat and barley will be gathered. The supply of hay (over 83.000.000 tons) and other forage is abundant, though mill feed and cottonseed may be higher than last winter. Higher Prices for Lire Slock Products The wool clip Is somewhat heavier than last year. Australia's new clip is reduced owing to large losses the past year from drought. Imports into the United States are decreasing, but dmestio trade is flat, with a prospect for an upward turn when buying begins. The serious reduction in the supply of live stock in reflected in reduced arrivals at our domestic markets and decreased exports during the past seven months, v.-;th a very fair tendency to values, i j' h stock In Europe Is being slaughtered because of drought, and later on the export demand Is likely to be large. Itter, cheese and milk have been in ord.nary supply owing to the redi --d number of cows. Stocks, are light - 1 dairy interests were In better shape f t a profitable winter. Other Crops. The Agri'mlturist notes an increased domestic crop of sugar, but a shortage In the world's production of 300.000.000 long tons of sugar; but "prices are more

likely to be, affected by changes In legislation than by changes in production." A reduced yield of heavy leaf and plug tobacco is assured and the cigar leaf crop of the Connecticut and Housatonlc valleys has been curtailed by drought and kail. An advance In prices is predicted. Hops will make a fair average yield in the United States, but are only half to two-thirds of a full crop In Germany, and with a light yield in England the export demand will take at good prices every bale of American hops that can be spared. Potatoes have felt the drought and about 165,000.000 bushels are looked for, slightly more than last year compared to 243.000.000 bushels in the beautiful crop of two years ago. Prices, Demand and Valnes. Reviewing the financial situation from the farmers standpoint the Agrlculturlft concludes that "the prospect for prices in the early future depends more upon the monetary situation than upon natural conditions, all of which point to causes that should result in higher Trices." Stocks abroad are not materially larger than a year ago; that the shortage In the bread crop of the world of 100,000,000 bushels of wheat. This allows Russia as good a crop as last year. The European rye crop is hardly a fair average; oats are under average and potatoes are injured by drought. With no extra surplus of the bread crops and an assured deficit of wheat the United States Is likely to be called upon to export as much wheat as last year If not more. Indeed, exports have been much heavier since July 1 than last season. The conclusion is Justifiable that present prices of all grains are abnormally low as there Is little evidence of our ability to spare as much wheat as Europe wants unless a large underconsumption prevails In the United States. The hay crop Is believed to represent a value to the farmers of a thousand million dollars. Corn at 43 cents per bushel comes next with a total of 5723,000,000 followed by wheat valued at J300,000,000 if worth 60 cents a bushel, and by oats worth J183,000.0O0 if valued at 30 cents on the farm. Potatoes promise to net an average of 70 cents or 75 cents per bushel or a total of $125,000,000. This last Is about one-half the prospective value of the cotton crop of 1893, reckoned at $25 per bale. Jlt'XCIE MICH ALARMED.

Fourteen Well-Developed Cases of Smallpox Discovered. MUNCIE. Aug. 19. Special. A very sensational discovery was made public here late this evening. For two months past Dr. Bunch, Dr. Cowing and others have been treating well-developed cases of small-pox for chicken-pox. Pr. J. G. Jackson, city health officer, was notified of the suspicion that it was -not chicken-pox and his Investigation resulted in his summoning Dr. C. N. Metcalf. secretary of the state board of health, here today by wire. With Dr. Cowing, county health officer, they made a careful examination, finding that there are fourteen well-developed cases of the disease here and two of them will prove fatal. The cases are all In the factory district known as Industry, except a newly developed case in Avondale. The canes are in the families of A. P. Shuttleworth. Arthur VanMetre. Mrs. Mary Fox. Thomas Murray. Emily Russell and Mr. Campbell, the last named In Avondale. After the investigation Dr. Metcalf issued a card to the public Informing it not to become alarmed, but to be careful and all assist the health officers, but that the law would be most rigidly enforced. Mayor Erady will Issue a proclamation Monday. He has ordered that Dr. Ieaeh be given charge of -the cases. Dr. Leach was In charge of the cases during the small-pox panic here in 1S7. Out of about sixty cases but five died. The city is in a state of great excitement tonight over the frightful discovery. Dr. Jackson labored under many dlin-t-ultles on his tour of Investigation and to him much credit is due. The first case developed In the Murray family several weeks ago and five members of the family. Including the father, are sick. The big yellow small-pox flags were placed on each infected house tonght. It is feared that tbe disease Is spread all over the city and If so no telling where it will end. as thousands of visitors were In Muncle from surrounding towns the past two days attending the fair. MUXCIE. Aug. 20. Special. In addition to the fourteen cases of small-pox discovered in Muncle and published In today's Sentinel another case was discovered today. Robert MrElroy is the victim at the home of Frank Rouse In a family of eight. Sixty persons afflicted or exposed to the disease were vaccinated today and double that number will be vaccinated tomorrow. There has been great excitement today. An eight-months-old child died tonight at the home of Arthur Vanmetre. where are several cases. It will be burled tomorrow night. Dr. Jackson, the city health officer, and Mayor Rrady. with others, were In con1Fultstlon tonight. Dr. Metcalf. secretary of the state board of health, and Dr. Jameson of Indianapolis have been summoned here tomorrow. Some of the families refuse to be quarantined or vaccinated, and special officers will be appointed tomorrow to see that they rem tin In the house until a pest house Is prepared. Dr. Punch, who was treating the cases for several weeks, still persists that they are chicken-pox. During the small-pox epidemic here In 1S7i one death and twenty-one cases had developed before the true nature it the trouble was discovered. MUNCH. Aug. 21. Special. Dr. Metcalf. secretary of the state board of health, visited Muncle again today. lie brought with him an eminent physician of Indianapolis who with Dr. Metcalf addressed Mayor Erady and a special meeting of the city council tonight, removing all possible doubt as to the seriousness of the situation. There were four new cases developed In the Infected district this evening. Guards have been appointed to watch each house lolh day and night and a pest house will be built. No deaths hav .yet occurred, but two cases are reported as fatal. Dr. Metcalf urged the city law-makers to spare no expense to assist the health officers and he said that the state was ready to lend any needed aid. A very rigid quarantine is being perfected. TIllIKi: men i'aiidom:!). Executive Clemency Extended to Jacob el The Other. Governor Matthews has pardoned Jacob Noel, a life prisoner In the Michigan City prison. He was sent up seventeen years ago for killing Abraham Paulus. He refused to make any defense on trial and it was never known until recently why the man was killed. Recently, hearing that his wife had married without the formality of a divorce, Noel made a statement which resulted In the pardon. He said that he had suspected his wife and Paulus of unlawful relations and finding them In a compromising position killed Paulus. For the love he bore his wife he refused to tell this during his trial, prefer; tng a life in prison to exposing his wife. The governor also pardoned Wesley Roberts, a convict from Porter county, who is dying of consumption, and Maynard Roll of Jefferson county, who has served eighteen years of a sentence for criminal assault. Is It Safe To neglect yourself If troubled with any disease of the kidneys? No, it is dangerous, and If you are so afflicted attend to yourself now. Do not wait, but use Sulphur Pitters at once. They cured me when I was given up to die by several physicians. Jonathan Ham, Boston.

THE MARKET REPORTS.

CHICAGO, Aug. 21. A big spurt of buying was the feature in the wheat pit today. Much of the enthusiasm soon tired, but there were enough earnest believers in the advancing tendency to sustain the price at a advance up to the close. Corn was, on the whole, firm, although closing a shade lower for September. May Is Mc higher. Oats are unchanged and provisions, although verydull, are 45c higher for pork, 23c higher for lard and 35c higher for ribs. Wheat at the opening was about h,i Tic higher than the closing figures of Saturday, advanced ke more, and then with some slight fluctuations prices receded "ic, held steady, recovered slightly, and the closing was about c higher for September and Kdlc higher for December than the closing figures Saturday. There was a general impression that the visible supply would show a large decrease, the prospects of early congressional legislation were brighter, and there was liberal speculative buying. Shorts were quick to take alarm and covered freely while there was little for sale. A good deal of the buying was supposed to be for C. II. Smith, the plunging nephew of Ed Pardrldge, who was believed to be short a line of about 800.000 bushels. Late in the session wheat was not so well supported. The top prices were made on a spurt and when the plungers got their wheat back there was simply a good, steady market. There was considerable bull news in corn for the day, but the receipts suddenly loomed very large and this appeared to offset other influences. The estimate was for 390 cars and receipts were 404 cars. When the estimate for Thursday was given out it was for 930 cars. Prices covered but V&c range. Trade was not large. Transactions were scarce In oats. Changes in quotations were insignificant. There was some bidding for ribs and lard by Armour's brokers, but offerings could hardly be dragged out of any of the small number of traders who appeared to have enough Interest In the business to Bit around In the neighborhood of the pit. The small movement of hogs was given as the reason for the advance In prices. The demand for Buffalo vessel room was light, but rates held steady at lic for wheat and lc for corn. There was a fair call for Kingston room at 2c for wheat and 2!c for corn. Estimated receipts for toworrow: Wheat, 130 cars; corn, 930 cars; oats, 583 cars; hogs. 12,000.

The news was not particularly strong, cables being slightly better, but the offerings were extremly scarce and buyers were more plenty. Some liberal short lines weie covered early by parties who soid too freely at the bottom Friday. One early bullish Item was the drop In lirittsli consols. This drop was not fully explained and has, therefore, been an uneasy element all day. Finances appear no worse, perhaps a little better. One of our banks is counting out over S'O.ooo In gold today, which Just arrived direct from Europe, and. the clink of It helps to restore condence and tends to open up some of the safety vaults and again put In circulation some of the locked up currency. We continue to call your attention to the very light market receipts and the very laruc exports. The visible decreased l.O37,0no bushels for the week. There la lens fear of September contracts being slaughtered at the end of this month. Some think carriers have already provided for all the cash wheat now here with sales of December aicalnst it. This would be a strong feature If true. After September s 1 to C3'ie, It slowly worked back to 624c on a null trade and closed dull at 624c. Corn was strong early, but took a little weakness later on the laro estimates for tomorrow ;T0 cars, and the talk that country shipments east are to increase materially, enpeeially from Nebraska. The Moments eat from here are veiy liberal and llkHy will keep pace with receipts here. The close was 4c lower for September and 4c higher for May. oats again very dull, holding firm for the day.

PATTERNED AFTER ZIMRI,

OR FERIIArS mVIGC.I.S TATTERXED AFTER DOXALDSOX. A Kansas Hanker with tbe Funds of Eleven Ranks In Ills Possession When Things Got "Warm He Pocketed tbe Cash and Disappeared. KANSAS CITY, Aug. 21. Henry tollman, attorney for Special Bank Examiner W. L. Latimer, acting as agent of the First ntlonal bank of Marion, Kas., filed attachments today against George D. Galbraith. special bank examiner in charge of the national bank of Kansas City; the National Bank of Commerce and the American national banks. ly E. M. Donaldson, president of the First national bank of Marion, Kas. It is charged that Donaldson secured loans from the bank of which he was president for his personal use, without giving adequate security. He has since disappeared and the bank is short $23,013. Last Tuesday Examiner Latimer, suspecting the condition of the First national bank, made a trip to Marlon to investigate. Hearing of Mr. Latimer's arrival Donaldson departed and has not been seen since. The examiner -losed the bank and has now filed the attachment here In the hope of protecting It. It is not known what has become of Donaldson, but Mr. Latimer has t'ood reasons to believe he Is in Mexico. Last December Donaldson opened an office here purporting to represent the Union Trust company of Sioux City. He did not aipear to do much business, however, and closed his office in June. James Doughty of Sioux City arrived in the city today, and after a conference with Attorney Wollman and Bank Examiner Latimer, he swore out a warrant for Donaldson's arrest, alleging embezzlement, misappropriation and forgerv. The facts told by Mr. Doughty make Donaldson's embezzlement from the Marion bank appear simply as a drop in- the bucket compared with the ex - banker's transactions In Iowa. Donaldson. In the SO's, beside owning a majority of the stock of the First national of Marion, Kas., controlled two state banks. Hi3 transactions through them w-ere not successful, and In 18SG-7. when the Kansas real estate boom dropped, he closed out the two small banks and, securing considerable money from his Marlon ban-k. started the Union trust company at Sioux City, la. As feeders for the Union trust company he established a chain of banks In Iowa, eleven in number. His ventures, however, did not develop according to his expectations, and from subsequent events It became apparent that he determined to realize what cash he could and lve the country. Accordingly last winter he opened a branch office of the Union trust company of Sioux City, taking charge of It himself nnd disposed of a large amount of the securities and assets of his Iowa concerns. The Union trust company was among the first financial institutions to go under when the tlnancial difficulties began last spring. With it went down the eleven Iowa banks, as follows: First national. Ida Grove; First national, Holstein; Sloan state. Sloan; Danbury state, Danbury; First Ute state, Ute; Woodbine savings, Woodbine; Curbing savings. Cushlng; Castana savings. Castana; Schutler savings. Schutler; Aurella savings, Aurelia, and the Rank of Modale. The cash of these institutions sent Donaldson Into retirement at Marion, where he seemed to have continued his tactics of raising all the ready canh possible upon his assets. Then came the failure of the Marion bank. Immediately the bank examiner made his appearane. In Marion. Donaldson disappeared ajid with him $23.000 of the bank's money. Mr, Doughty of Sioux City, who was Interested in the Union trust company, says the examination of that company's affairs nnd of the affairs of the eleven national banks shows a deficit of at least JC'O.OOO. Donaldson is charged with having got ; away with the money. During the dis posal of securities here, Donaldson sold paper to nearly all the city banks, but the bulk of his transactions were with New England bankers. HEXRY GEORGE'S VIEWS. A Sinai Tax Wonld Prevent filialnews Depression. NEW YORK. Aug. 21. To the question how far would a single tax help to prevent a financial depression like that now agltallng the financial world. Henry George last night replied: "A slngl tax would prevent it entirely by preventing the conditions which engender depression. The only sufllclent explanation of periodical depressions is that by a natural law all advance and Improvement add to the value of land or, In other words, Increase economic rent. Therefore under conditions In which we allow the owners of land to take this result of general growth for themselves the advance Is discounted by speculation. Iand Is held from u and held at u higher price than It will yield at present In the expectation of a future increase. The advance In land values finally reaches a point at which labor and capital cannot profitably engage In production. There Is a checking of production which, on the other Plde, Is a checking of the demand for commodities and services. Finally comes something which nets as a shock to credit and the fictitious values that have been created collapse. The machinery of production and exchange Is thrown Into confusion and panic ensues. During the period of hard times that follows rent falls, production again moves forward, land booms begin nnd eventually tbe same condition of things is repeated." Business Notes.
