has issued its September bulletin on the
condition of the crops. Corn is 95 per cent,
against "a year ago The prospect is still
favorable for crop slightly above the av-
erage Cotton averages 81, against So the
same month last year. This is the highest
September average in ten years. There
will be an enormous product of sweet pota-
toes. Eighty-fve is an ''off year,
in apples, yet there will be full medium
crop. In the New York markets fall fruits
Of all kinds are extraordinarily plentiful.

consequence the grapss are mildewing to q
considerable extent.

Coin and Note Tamperinc.

The weight test is the most accurate and
reliable especially with gold coin.
The silver dollar is called the vagabond
OF all coins, as it is tempered with and
counterfeited so much.
1t is a singular fact that but one bogus
$50 gold piece has ever been discovered
and this bears the date of 1850.
An officer of the secret service is author
ity for the statement that counterfeiting is
more extensively practiced than is gener-
ally believed.
As a general thing nothing smaller than
$40 gold piece is ever filed, though the
smaller coins are plugged, which is perhaps
the most common.
Silver coin that is less than the minimum
weight is rejected by the Treasury officials.
and the owners are obliged to pass them if
they can, or sell them for bullion
A great deal of coin becomes light from
natural causes, and when they come into
the hands of the national treasury they are
| sent to the mint and recoined, the Govern
ment bearing the loss.
One way of tampering with double eagles
