Mexico City, Aug. 11. the Huerta demonstration, which had been awaited with great fear by the foreign residents of the Mexican capital, took place without any untoward incident occurring to justify the gloomy predictions that had been made. As a manifestation of confidence in the encouragement for Huerta. the whole affair fell flat. The "visas" that marked the triumphal entry of Francisco I. Madoro after ho had crushed Porflrio Diaz were completely lacking. During the entire parade there was no ovidonco of anti-American fooling.

Washington, Aug. 11. A loss of 300,000,000 bushels of corn, the nation's greatest farm crop, has resulted from the great damage wrought by drought and other conditions since July 1, the government's agricultural experts estimated on Friday in their August crop report. A total production of 2,672,000,000 bushels of corn was predicted. Tho government crop report given out on Friday from Washington was one of the most sensational that tho country has seen. It reduced tho estimated yield of corn 300,000,000 bushels from the July figures to 2,072,000,000 bushels, or 452,000,000 bushels lass than last year's harvest Kansas and Oklahoma have been hit harder than any other statos, whilo their prospects earlier In tho year woro rogardod as oxcoTlont, but thoy have suffered practically a crop falluro oxcopt in a fow spots in onstorn

A record crop of winter wheat has been harvested, the aggregate being 510,519,000 bushels, an excess of 111,000,000 bushels over last year's final returns and 9,000,000 bushels larger than the bumper crop of 1906. A heavy loss was shown in the hay and white potato crops of the country, the condition of the former being lowered almost ten points last month, but tho indicated crop of 61,000,000 tons is only 9,000,000 tons less than the bumper returns of last year, and 9,000,000 more tons than the short crop of 1911. The white potato crop of 339,000,000 bushels is 82,000,000 bushels less than last year's final returns, but 46,000,000 bushels in excess of 1911. With tho exception of rice, all minor crops are less than last year, but generally in excess of 1911.
