The Crop Report.
The department of agriculture in its month
" report. says of the Maryland crops: ''The
corn has been injured by the extensive drouth,
which continued for three or four weeks to the
last Of August and its present condition is esti-
mated much below the condition it presented
on the lst of August. The condition of wheal
and rye when harvested WAS fair average.
The oat crop was short. The tobacco crop has
been injured by the drouth, and has fallen of
in quantity and texture more than he corn crop.
The drcuh came too suddenly upon it, after
having had from its setting out remarkabl.
growing spell, up to the commencement Of y
no, drouth This disaster has been severest in
the tohocco-growing counties and on the East

Oysters Suffering From The Drought.
The long drought has not only damaged the
crops throughout the State, but it would seem
had an injurious effect upon oysters. The Gen.
treVille ODD Observer says: This might APP
pear strange TO many not posted in oyster cui-
tn-e, bni it is nevertheless true. In the absence
of rain the streams of fresh water flowing in
the tributaries of The lay have been very mea-
gre, and the oysermen say there has not been
suffice nj fresh water mingled with the salt wa
ter of the rivers for the development and fatten-
ing of the oyster. This is applicable especially
to the beds of tongmen planted in shallow wa
ter for shipment in barrels. And several in the
Patuxent river have taken up the oysters and
removed them TO the small streams of fresh
ter Implying into the river. Thisis accounted
for by The oysteImen from the fact that at III.
head of The streams there is more nutriment for
the oyster On account of the vegetable matter
con tanned in the fresh water which, as a gen.
eral thing, flows through rich maishy and
grassy soil, and that better protection is Of
fered by the sCft bottoms of the streams. The
tide carries sufficient flow Of salt water to the
removed plants TO enable them to retain their
favor"

4 KANSAS STORM.

A&shlson aAd Vicinity Intluged by . Storm
ef Unprecedented severity-Heavy Losaess
BY the Feeding of Basemsnts and the
sweeping Away Of Bulldogs and Looss-
Properly.
AICMsoH. KAN, April 10.
Afesrful rain fell here Thursday night.
Old inhabitants say such storm was.
never before known In Kansas. It began
70 fall at 80 and for nearly an hour it
came down in flood and was accom-
panied by fierce thunder and lightning.
The streets of the city were running.
streams from curb to curb In fifteen min
utes. The roar of the storm as it descend
ed upon the earth resembled miIl-dam,
and, to add to the confusion, several
houses were struck by lightning
and set ON fire. The creeks were beyond
their banks in a very few minutes and
White Clay Greek, which flows through
the center of the city, was an angry
torrent, forty feet deep, and spreading.
tn some localities 800 yards wide. The
stream was never known to rise to such
a height before Dwelling houses which.
have for years stood high and dry many
feet above the greatest food were sur
rounded by the water, and in many
cases caught in the current
and carried down the stream.
Occupants of houses in low-lying grounds
had to fee for safety, abandoning their
household goods to be sweptaway. Num-
erous highway bridges are gone and many
more damaged. So far as reported, the
railroads do not suffer. The merchants
suffer heavy losses by flooded cellars and
Easements, and manufacturers by the ma
terial carried away.
While the rain was very heavy the great:
flood in White Clay was no doubt caused
by waterspout which evidently broke
west of the city. The damage by
lightning was unimportant. The
Baptist Church, the barn of
DIR. Linley and dwelling-house in the
northwest part of town and barn in
East Atchison were struck and the latter
burned down. Many narrow escapes are
reported, but no loss of life. The DAM
age to property can not now be estimat--
ed. but it will certainly be many thous-
andS.

A RAID ON TUE BEARS.

"A Party of Chicago Provision Men Make .
Raid on the Bears In tho Wheat Pit and
Get Away with . huge .sScalp"-Clcvsa
Cudahy.
CHICAGO. IT., April 10.
Have the Milwaukee and the Hobbs
crowd sold their wheat? everybody In
quired yesterday. At first the little
traders thought they had; on Wednesday
they were sure they had. Yesterday most
people admitted that they knew nothing
about it. There were some very strong
buyers In tie wheat pit in the morn
ing. The opening was weak. May
wheat at one time selling
down to eighty-three and seven-eighths
cents. The weather was fine and the
feeling decidedly bearish; all at once
there was a metamorphosis. The scalp
ers, who had been disputing over eighths
haggling. They all turned buyers, and
anxious buyers, too. They did not stand
on small fractions, but in twinkling bid
the price up from eighty-three and seven
Fights cents for May to eighty-five and
half cents
ALL WANTED TT.
From being very uncertain and even
little bearish the temper at once became
very bullish. Everybody wanted wheat.
The shorts became frightened. The fell
lows who HAYS been persistent bulls DUR
ing the thirty-cent decline, and who were
on the point of giving up hope, whirled
about and acted as if now finally the adj
vance had begun, and that unless the ut
most speed was used the stuff would adj
vance too fast and get away from them.
The cause for this sudden conversion was
a scalp successfully made by provision
crowd presumably acting under the
direction of Cudahy. When wheat was
at its lowest early in the morning
crowd of provision brokers made their
appearance and quietly picked up about
one million bushels of wheat. The fig
ures advanced under this buying, and
continued to advance long after the buy
ing ceased, under the influence of the
purchasing of the shorts, who had
taken fright The theory last night was
that the wheat bought by the provis-
ion traders in the forenoon at SAC.
and Whereabouts was all sold out
at above S5c. 1t is set down
as huge, successful scalp by that
very clever operator, Cudahy.

The Transeentineatal Lines.

It is stated that the managers of the trans
continental lines have definitely settled their
difficulties and that the percentages of the va
rieus lines in the Pacific coast business have been
agreed upon. The percentages have not been
made public yet, but are understood to be APP
,proKimately as follows, viz: The Huntington
lines embracing the Central and Southern Pa,
eifcs, about IS to s6 per cent; the Atchison,
Topeka a Santa Fe and Atlantic & Pacific,
from 26 to q per cent; the Northern Pacific p
to "a per cent; and Union Pacific, Is to 20 per
cent. But whatever may be the actual figures
that have been agreed upon, they are within the
range of those above mentioned AS to the
amount of business to be divided. on this basis,
it is estimated by the parties in council that the
total through freight" of the last year amounted
to about $40, 100000 and will probably amount
to $Il, 600 900 for the coming year.

show that freight rates east from Chicago are
badly demoralized Roads are carrying grain

Of the east and west lines are in desperate
straits for money even to pay operating ex-
penses, so light has traffic been for few months
past, and they must have business at some rate
to keep their heads above wafer This remark

there are men in the service of the Erie road who

their employees for July services and has not yet
paid for August

a genuine surprise.

What is the matter with the Wabashf was
the common inquiry in freight circles yesterday,
SO much Of a surprise was it that. after carrying
grain to Toledo and Detroit for sixty days pasi
at 81 cents per 100 pounds, they should come into
the indianapolis rate association and ask that
rates be advanced to cents per 100 pounds, i
the rate is maintained it will be fortunate for In
dianapolis and for the roads cunning east from
here, as cents per 100 pound rate from Indin-
apolis to either Detroit or Toledo, with the pro
rate from those points east. makes higher rate
than by the more direct lines, either rail and
water, or all rail- yet it is worth cents per loo
pounds to haul freight from Indianapolis to De
troit or Toledo.
