ST. PAUL. Mimi, August 1O.-The effect
on the wheat crop of the extraordinary heat

ter of considerable anxiety. Yesterday 5

as in nearly all the localities the wheat had
passed the point of danger from blight. Fol-
lowing are condensed kilograms from num-
erous points in the Dakotas:
WATERTowN, S. D.-The wheat harvest
is progressing finely. The weather is ex-
tremely hot, but the grain is beyond danger.
Wheat Is of excellent quality and promises
an average yield of 10 bushels to the acre.
Many farms will yield 20 to % bushels The
hot weather and frequent showers are BOOM
ing corn and flax. These conditions exist in
Coddington, Clark, DEMO, Day, Grant, and
Hamlin counties, In fact, throughout the en-
tire Sioux valley.
JAMESTOWN, n. D.-The excessive heat
OF the last three days was somewhat modi-
fed yesterday, the temperature being $50 to
go In the shade. Reports from Wells and

The undervaIuatIon Ring at New

A Former Maine Man the New Min
lister to Central America.

WASHINGTON. August 10.-The New York
custom brokers have sent an agent to this
city to endeaYor to ascertain whether 1t Is
the intention OF Secretary Foster to admin
lister the customs administrative law In the
spirit in which it was enacted. These brok-
ers for the first time seem to have discovered
that It was the object Of Congress to break
up the organized system OF nndervaluation
by means Of which the allen consignment
ring has been able for many years to drive
honest American importers out Of the busi-
ness OF importing certain lines Of goods.
One Of the means by which the alien
consignment ring has been able to evade the
tariff laws Of this country has been to make
1t impossible to determine what the ad valo-
rem or cost price Of the merchandise which
they send here Is In Europe. Aud In order
t) make 1t certain that the United States
customs officials shall not ascertain
that fact, 1t has been the custom
OF this consignment ring, which
consists of manufacturers In Europe,
and their agents In this country, not
to sell to any person In Europe
Goods s&se %scn ysrd o. ns
market In order that there shall actually be
no market value In Europe which the Gus
toms agents can ascertain. To cOunteract
this, and as a result Of the experience OF
years Of investigation. the last Congress, In
the customs administrative bill, inserted the
pre- vision that the exporters OF goods to this
country shall make declaration as to the
actual cost, including the cost Of raw mate
rlals, labor. manufacture, packing, etc, Of
nearly every Instance these foreign manufae-
turers have declined or refused to do this.
The consequence Is that the Secretary OF the
Treasury has Issued mandatory order that
the law shall Re strictly complied with, and
that all importers who do not comply with IL
shall suffer the penalty Of having their
goods sent TO the bonded warehouses, to re
til they shall choose to obey the laws Of this
country.
