The New York Central employed on
the average in 1890, 81 400 persons, and
paid them 1881 1868. 1t now has about
$1,000 persons employed, and pays them
about 814, 500, 900 a year. OF this great
army, just ninety men have brought on
all the present trouble, as far as this road
is concerned, because they constitute the
highly skilled labor which conducts the
making up of freights in the Buffalo
terminal of the New York Central. Third
Vice President Webb SAYS nothing is re-
CURED but enough order and security to
permit the New York Central to hire
men to do its switching.

DISCREPANCIES IN KANSAS ACRE
AGE FIGURES.

The statistican of the department Of
agriculture estimates the winter wheat
area of Kansas to be 3, 469, 600 acres, and
10 account is taken OF the area in spring
wheat.
The report Of assessors make the Win
ter wheat area of the state $500, 900
acres, and the spring wheat area s09, S13
acres.
Here is a discrepancy of 100000 acres.
Is there my good reason why the gov
ernment staustician should not revise
his early estimate to agree with the later
figures: The latter must be more nearly
correct than any estimate which Stats
tician Dodge's correspondents can make.
There is in fact no more accurate way
of getting at the area IN crops than 10
accept the assessors figures.
The difference between the Kansas
wheat crop, figured on Dodse's acreage,
and on the assessors returns of area Is
more than 10000, 600 bushels.

been organized in this state under the
new banking law, forUy-four banks; six
of this number being private banks, the
rest state banks and in addition to these
one state bank has nationalized. The

forty-four banks aggregate over half

WHEAT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT
THIS YEAR.

The general estimates of the supplies
of wheat on all hands on July /, 1892.
approximate 100000 bushels. Esti-
mating the present crop at 515, 900, 600
bushel, the available supply for all pur-
poses during the crop year may be esti-
mated at $50, 600, 900 bushels. Allowing
domestic consumption of $4,000, 600
bushels per month, and the aggregate
would be $4,000, 900 bushels, and the
quantity required for seeding 90, 900, 600
bushels. Deducjing these estimates
from the aggregate and the quantity
available for export and surplus would
225, 100000 bushels; allowing $4,000, 900
bushels as surplus on July /, 1898, and
the quantity available for export would
be about 170, 900, 900 bushels. The ex-
ports during July were about II, 900, 600
bushels, consequently there remains on
hand for eleven months approximately
15S. 900, 900 bushels, equal to about A.
800, 900 bushels per month. The aver
age monthly exports during 1912
were about IS, 800, 900 bushels per month.

The state grain board met at Kansas
City, Kan, Tuesday, and fixed the
grades Of grain for Kansas for the com
ing year All grades were raised, and the
rules for inspection were changed. In
grade No. 2 the weight was changed
from fifty-eight pounds to ffty-nine
pounds, and none but perfectly sound
wheat will be accepted in that grade.
There may have been no such intention
on the part of the inspectors, but the
effect of the change in the standard of
weight for wheat will not be to benefit
either the producer or consumer, but
solely the buyer. The change will be
to the disadvantage of the producer, not
so much On account Of the loss of a
pound to the hushel as the difference in
price between second and third grade
grain. Heretofore fifty-eight pounds
gave the wheat No. 2 grade; now moth
ing under fifty-nine pounds can get that
grade, and must take corresponding
prices,
