ORCHARD AND FIELD.
Secretary McKeen's Report of the Condi-
tion of Maine Crops.

Secretary McKeen has just issued crop
bulletin, No. 8, for July. Fruit indica-
tions as compared with 1892 are 81 per-
cent. The principal falling off seems to
be in the winter varieties of apples, par
.ticularly Baldwins. Reports generally
show fine growth of wood, however,
and but little damage from insects. In
parts of Cumberland county the trypeta
is at work again, and one correspondent
gives his experience with him at some
length.
The number of fruit trees set was SS
per cent. In 10 replies the number is
more than last year and in 20, the same.
The choice of varieties seems to be Bald
wins, spies and other varieties, with an
occasional setting of some early variety.
1t is the general practice to crop
young orchards, using barn dressing
largely for fertilizer, and as the trees
become of fair size, to pasture with hogs
OF sheep, using ashes, bone meal and
muriate of potash for fertilizer Some
use manure for top dressing, applying it
in sufficient quantity to destroy the
growth of grass, it being the object to
turn all the available plant food into the
production of fruit.
Replies as to income are vague, some
orchardists reporting as high as $100 per
acre.
Winter fruit is reported as far more
profitable in nearly all sections, with a
preference for the Baldwin, northern
spy Roxbury russell, golden russell in the
order named.
Many farmers are cultivating small
fruits and also learning the value of a
garden for the purpose of raising all veg
etables for family use during the entire
season.
The condition of pastures is 110 per
cent, and the hay crop 112 per cent. As
the weather has been favorable for the
growth of grass since the replies were
received, it is fair to predict more than
average hay crop, although replies from
few localities show it to be below.
The condition of grain and hoed crops
is ITO per cent, both in quantity and
quality as compared with last year, al
though in some places corn is rather low
for the season; it is growing finely and
with fair season will, without doubt,
be an average crop, while potatoes and
grain are much above the average.

Mills To Close and Money So Tight the City
Can't Borrow.


Mills To Close and Money So Tight the City
Can't Borrow.
FALL RIVER, Mass, July 2S.-Within
"a hours there has been a great change
in feeling onsthe part of manufacturers.
The Weetamoe Mill managers having an
nounced their intention to ishut down
four weeks in August, has led other mill
men to follow their example. This
morning it was reported that the Flint
and American Linen Mills will shut
down in August for longer or shorter
period, dependent wholly on the condi-
ton of the money market. The mills
are well able to meet all their obliga-
tions. but the directors feel that it is USE
less to pay s per cent for time loans to
enable them to pay operatives wages.
Some of the manufacturers say they
cannot get money at any percentage, and
they are seriously considering the wis
dom of closing their concerns for short
period. Simeon B. Chase, treasurer of
the King Philip Mills, one of the three
finest goods mills in the country, said
this morning that he could offer no opin-
ion as to the prospects of the trade. The
conditions were unlike anything he ever
before encountered, and he did not be-
lieve manufacturers could tell from DAY
to day just what they would or could DO.
The banking men here say they are
doing their best to accommodate Gus
toners and still protect their depos1tors,
who may call on them at any moment;
They have no money to loan except at
long credits, and, Of course. they say the
mills milf cannot afford to go into any form
of speculation at this time.

CONCORD, n, H., July 2s.-The Derry

loan to some of it's officers is secured by

allowed by law. The directors Of the

Worlds Fair Managers and the Sunday
Closing Dispute.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-The hearing of he
contempt proceedings against the
Worlds Fair management for closing the
gates of the fair Sunday in violation of
the injunction issued by Jude Stein was
on today. Attorney Eddy, on behalf of
the fair management, argued that the in
junction bill had been SO amended as to
render it invalid. On his advice the
gates had been closed. Everything now
points to open gates next Sunday 1t is
not believed the directors feel warranted
in violating Judge STEMS injunction
during the pendency of this hearing.
Attorney Mason contends that open
the gates would be another offense and
constitute grounds for another action.

While Failures have Been Numerous in
the Past Week They Have Not Been
for Large Amounts-Statistics of the
Bank Troubles Since the First of JAN
uary.
B1DDEFoRD, July 2s.-The directors of
the York mills met in Boston this morn
ing, and after considering the business
outlook, and the action that has been
taken by other mills manufacturing the
same line Of goods, they decided that the
shut down must be for five weeks, be-
ginning Monday, July a1st.
Agent Nourse made the following state
ment:
s::The directors have concluded that
they must shut down for five weeks. The
management had hoped that the two
weeks shut down first decided upon
would be sufficient for the present. but
since that was decided upon nearly all
the mills in. the country manufacturing
colored cotton goods have shut down or
decided to shut down for five weeks.
ssThe management had hoped that the
market and the financial condition would
soon improve but they have grown worse
instead of better. The directors have
therefore decided to do the same that
nearly all the other mills have.
cat present there is hardly any sale at
all for colored goods and the prospect
ahead is not much brighter. But while
we are piling UP a large quantity of goods
that we cannot sell, that alone is not the
cause of tho shut down, for we have be-
fore this had more goods on hand than
we have now. The trouble is principally
the tightness of the money market, of
course taken together with the small de-
mand for goods. A large amount of cap
ital is very soon tied up when mills are
manufacturing goods they cannot sell,
and in the present condition of the money
market it is hard work to borrow money
enough to run on, for you must under
stand that all mills run almost continual
ly on borrowed capital, What little
goods we sell we have to give credit on"
A report which gladdened the hearts
of many Biddeford people today was that
the Pepperell mills would start up at
their full capacity next Monday. No. 3
mill, which is quite a portion of the
whole corporation, has been shut down
for week and the effect of this partial
shut down has been felt by everybody in
trade. The report was verified by Super
intendent Gibbs's statement that he had
given notice to all hands to come in to
work Monday morning.
