THE CROPS AND MARKETS.

' The Outlook in Various States—. I Indieniions of an Average Vivid in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio—The Market Quotations. Indianapolis News. Still the long drought in the j West remains unbroken. Local i showers have afforded a small • measure of relief in isolated localities. Corn has been prematurely lipened, and the yield will ■ fall considerab’y below the esti- ! mated yield of a mouth ago. Corn has taken a sudden start I upward, occasioned by the news which has bdeu sent out from all centers of production the last few days. The fact that conditions are irregular is another factor in this question which must be taken into consideration when an attempt is made to estimate the yield. The outlook before the issue of the report is that the yield of Western States will not fall materially below last year's production. In lowa there will probablj’ be a good crop. Parts <?f Nebraska and Kansas are good, though there is not likely to be any increase in production in these last two states, and the probability is that there will be a decrease. For Indiana, Illinois and Ohio taken together, there will probably be an average crop. Therh is little new in the wheat crop situation- It is probable that the Northwestern yield is as large as was anticipated, and it is more than ever likely that the official estimate of the crop will not fall below ,400,000,000 bushels, unless the present bureau of statistics adopts some unusual method of enumeration.

The aggregate of home neces sities for the crop year of 1893-94 is estimated at 2,260,000,000 bushels. The rye crop is estimated at 1,443,000,000 bushels, as against 1,836,000,000 last year, 1,330,000,000 is the estimated requirement. Wheat in foreign countries has not changed materially from last reports and there does not seem to be any prospect of an immediate change in the crop conditions. The improvement in some countries is marked, when present conditions are compared with former estimates. Nearly all will have average, if not larger crops, than last year. Harvest work in Germany has been assisted by the fine Weather and dry season. The harvest is continuing rapidly and the estimates previously made are as nearly correct as it is possible to make them now. The price question remains about the same. There is much fluctuation, biit nothing permanent. Wheat goes up like a rocket one day, under the influence of some powerful interest, but goes down as rapidly the next day. The market is unsteady, feverish and unable to sustain advanced prices as yet. There is evidence, however, that it will become quiet after a while, and that prices will remain steady at an advance; Wheat receipts at . primary markets for the week have been 3,204,000 bushels against 2,480,000 bushels the previous week and 8,193,000 bushels last year. Corn receipts were 3,544,000 bushels against 2,813,000 bushels the previous week and 2,751,000 bushels last year. The next subject of importance in connection with the drought is the impossibility of plowing. Fall plowing is delayed two or three weeks already in some locslities, and unless the drought breaks soon it will be impossible to do the plowing and seeding this fall. That means a great reduction in wheat production next year probably, and if it is more general than now appears it may become serious. A long, slow rain, which will thoroughly wet the ground, is what is needed, and the sooner it comes the better it will be for the winter wheat country.

Gave Satisfaction.

Cook & Whitby’s English 3ring Circus, Menagerie and Hippodrome, which exhibited here yesterday, gave the utmost satisfaction and delight to its swarm of visitors. This show more nearly realizes th'e highest ideal of all that a circus can be than any we have ever attended. The riding was superb, the races created great excitement, elicited tumultuous applause, while every act out of the hundred given appeared the best while you were looking at it, or, in other words, there was not a poor feature in the performance, which is more than we can say of any circus that has ever visited Pittsburgh. The parade made in the morning was a revelation of wealth and splendor that fairly dazzled

the beholders. The cost of such a display must lie appalling, the dens and wagons being covered with ivory and glittering gold, every horse a thoroughbred and al! animals richly caparisoned in silk and satin—a solid mile of them altogether. The balloon ascensions took place in the afternoon, and, combined with the splendid sharpshooting and other free exhibitions, vastly pleased the people who were just “looking around.” In fact, everything about this immense organization seems jierfect. The uniformly courteous and quiet deportment of all employes was widely commented upon, and created the nufst favorable impression.—Pittsburgh Press. This great show will be at Rensselaer Friday, September 15th. You cannot afford to miss seeing it.

Logic of Events.

The logic of events is the best argument to offer 1 ' to men who can see but won’t acknowledge that the country is on the verge of bankruptcy and ruin. In spite of the efforts of financiers, banks and business houses continue to fail and the number is increasing every year. They tell us money is getting more plentiful, but in almost every failure the cause is assigned to a money stringency. They say business is improving, and yet dullness of trade is the general complaint everywhere. They say the country is prosperous and deliberately lie when thev say so. They tell you good crops will bring good times, and in the next breath say we have an overproduction. They say over-production Is ruining the country and yet nobody is bluer and down-hearted over droughs, drowned out crops and chinch bugs. The truth is these incongruities have become old and stale and are no longer effective in deceiving the people. The people are searching for more plausible reasons for conditions that are really anomalous and inexcusable, and they are finding them.

The Editor Focled.

Vlnkville Bugle. This morning, as we and the wife of our bosom were eating our humble repast, our office boy came hl great haste with the information that a man from Indianapolis was at our office waiting to interview us on the financial situation. Pleased at this supposed metropolitan recognition of our humble talents, we put on oui’ coat, and puttting one of Billy Watson’s justly Celebrated cigars in our pocket to do the honors to the city reporter with, we hastened to our sanctum, to find—what? A man who had come down to see what we Could do on our paper bill. We hope those of our subscribers who are in arrears will come nobly to the front in this, our hour of need.

An exchange remarks that whenever the country newspaper finds the foreigners invading the field of the home merchants with goods and merchandise and selling them to the farmers, they are asked to arise and whack the intruders and advise the farmers to buy their goods of the home merchants. And when foreign printing houses send their representatives among the merchants and business men, these same merchants give them their orders and get inferior work for their money. That’s reciprocity. Ignorance of the merits of DeWitt’s Little Early Risers is a misfortune. These little pills regulate the liver, cure headache dyspepsia, bad breath, constipation and biliousness.
