From all over Italy come reports Of
serious damage done by the heavy foods.
At Busalla the whole town Is inundated
and the water reaches to the second
story IN many houses, and occupants
have been compelled to flee.- Noat OF

time to save even their clothing. Many

Low PRICES FOR CORN AND WHEAT.

Large Visible Supply Brings Down tn.
FIgures-shOrt Cotton Crop.
The three weeks Of drought throukh.
out the winter wheat States, makes it
look serious. not to say critical, for next
years wheat crop. The @equinoctiai"
brought no helpful storms in those States,
and they are now threatened with the
season of freezes, when good rains can
not be expected. Then the small area
that has been sown is being badly in
iured by insects.
These conditions have caused the
market to lose little of its depression
during the last week, but there is no ex.
pectation of much improvement in
prices The visible supply is very large,
far in excess of that Of last year. The
foreign demand is not promising and the
prospect of an increase in the visible
supply is good. Prices, though some
what sitter, still continue low, but not
withstanding that fact the receipts at
the Western winter wheat markets have
been enormous. Then there can be no
considerable loss to this years crop. The
grain is now either threshed or in the
stack, and in either case no very great
harm can come to it. It is expected
that another week or two Of drought
will cause small advance, but nothing
else is looked to to improve present
prices.
In the northwest there are some corn
fields that will yield well and grain of ex-
cellent quality. but the crop as whole
will be short. Prices are weak at present,
but this will reduce considerably the
number of bushels Of corn to be marketed.
The government estimates justify the be.
lief that the crop will amount to 1900, 900
bushels. No serious injury to it is now
anticipated. The dry weather has prob
ably affected the market as much already
as it will at any time.
The latest news from the cotton fields
indicate that the early estimates Of the
crop were too large. There will be light
yield in the southwest. Prices are not
high and they threaten tok1ecline.

TIE CONSPIRACY.

If there ever was a conspiracy
that has the elements of treachery
and blackmailing 1t is the one that
James S. Myers and Geo. NJ. Am
bier, his alleged attorney, endeavor-
ed to perpetrate upon the editor
of this paper last week. When
Ambler wrote those charges at the
instigation of Myers he knew
he was writing falsehoods no one
had a better knowledge of the cir
cumstances in this case than Am.
bier; he knew that be was the
party who first asked the assist
ance of the editor of this paper to
save his alleged client, Myers. No
matter how plausiabIe a lie may
seem to be, right is hound TO
prevail. In the Police Court Monday
their blacSleg assistant entered
into a drag net operation and lad
summons issued for the sage OF
AnacoStia and other citizens who
have no more knowledge of the
case than the dead Indians OF
North America.
The citizens haven't the least
idea how daming and diabolical this
conspiracy is; they are not awaie
that every allegation was manufac.
tured and e minated from a diseas~
ed brain which the court VIII now
disect.
Our friend the trustee who al
ways aids the reCIy needs no de
tense from the editor of this paper.
He is to day above any negro
American in this country he has
a heart and soul superior to all
earthly dignitieS.
Our vindication will come from
court where no perjury will be
permitted.

He picked up his grip and left the
