A. Rost, proprietor of the confection-
cry and bakery on the adjoining lot said:
''Mr. Hackney is pretty brave man to
invest his capital in putting up build
ing on lower Kansas avenue with a view
of renting. Why. there is store room
across the street that has been vacant
two years, and one just above for three
years But he pays pretty heavy taxes
and may get interest and taxes out of it. !"

The Reduced Estimates of Crops Do
Not Affect Business

Not Affect Business.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-R. G. Dun &
Cos trade review says: A slight set
back, which may mean much or moth
ing, according to the final outcome OF
the crops, is not unexpected at this
season. II the government crop re-
ports were correct the situation would
not be encouraging. But not much
confidence is placed in the reduced
estimate of corn, none at all in the
estimate of wheat, and even the most
enthusiastic bulls do not think it
worth while to quote the government
report as to cotton.
The fact is that we are beginning to
market not far from 1900, 900, 600
bu shels of corn though about 500, 00o,-
600 bushels will be moved from the
counties where it is grown; about
400, 900, 900 bushels of wheat, of which
the farmers are very uuwisely holding
back large proportion. and about
1900, 900 bales of cotton, if the latter
indications are not erroneous, as they
may be, to add to the stocks carried
over.
The wheat crop is evidently larger
than the department has estimate d,
though nobody knows how much
larger, and is coming forward with
more encouraging rapidity, no less
than 5,773,173 bushels having been re-
ceived at Western ports against s, 446,
O0l bushels for the same week last
year from a much larger crop. The
farmers have undoubtedly been keep
ing back wheat under an agreement
among themselves. It does not seem
profitable operation for them. Ex-
ports from the Atlantic ports for the
two weeks of September have been
2,417,s72 bus shells (four included)
against 5,3lO,926 bushels last year
The price declined sharply, about 2
cents per bushel, with little indica ton
of recovery. The price of corn has
also yielded with strong prospect of
the largest crop ever grown, and at So
cents at New York a large proportion
of the crop will be of little profit to
farmers
