VIII Moderate Present Cnnditians


VIII Moderate Present Conditions.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The warm wave
will be felt in the Middle Atlantic States to-
morrow, also in New England Tuesday.
Local thunder-storms will moderate the
present conditions. Such local thunder
storms are most likely north of New York
City. The heat has moderated from Michi-
gan to Missouri and in Iowa and Minpe-
sofa. but west of these lastuamed States
the temperature is rising. Rains have
fallen during the night in narrow belt
from Eastern Iowa to Eastern Massachu-
setts, being heavy over Lake Erie, with
thunder-storms. Showers have occurred in
Florida and South Dakota. North of Mon
tana high pressure and wave of cooler
air have appeared, and from this area,
though remote, permanent relief from the
heat is most to be looked for.

Efforts Made to Prevent the Expectation of
Grain

Efforts Made to Prevent the Expectation of
Grain.
ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 10.-The grave
situation created By the failure Of crops in
Russia is causing the greatest apprehen-
sion in all circles.
The Grashdanin declares that the local
administrations will be unable to make
provision for the inhabitants of the dis
tressed provinces if spectators are allowed
to export corn, or if the artificial rise in the
price of corn is not checked. The paper de-
mands that the Government Immediately
places a heavy duty on the export of rye.
The Financial Messenger declares that it
will be almost impossible for Russia to ex-
port corn this year.
Iti officially announced that the Govern
ment has not yet contemplated issuing a
decree totally prohibiting the export OF
grain from Russia, but the partial failure of
crops demands that provision be made for
the people living in the distressed provinces
and it is consequently expected that the eX-
port OF grain from those provinces will be
restricted by the authorities.

Decline in British Exports.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-The st. James Gazette
this morning prints the following: Judg-
ing from the returns issued by the Board
of Trade, it looks as though we have al
ready reached the end of good times. The
great decline in exports from Great Britain
is undoubtedly due to the operation of the
Mckinley law in the United States. We
have been told that the act would eventu-
ally prove a misfortune to the United
States. but its Immediate object was to hit
foreign manufactures, especially those of
Great Britain, and it is plainly evident this
object has been attained.
