:. The company started on the theory of producing
every part of its pianos in its own factories and
selling its own goods directly to its customers. The
result has been most satisfactory from mechan-
ical standpoint as every piano bearing the COM
pany's name carries the requisites giving assur-
ances of superior excellence.
The company has also adopted the plan of
leasing it's pianos directly to the buyer, so that
it is now possible for the latter to rent of the
company an upright piano for $40 a quarter,
with easy payments and over 500 styles to select
from. This has induced many people to ex-
change old and questionable instruments for the
new product of this company. The latter, there

DECLINE IN CROP CONDITIONS.
The Drought and FrOsts of September
are the Principal Causes.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. 15-Reports
to the Agricultural Department show a
decline in the conditions of all the prn-
cipal crops except oats, rye aud barley.
The detailed summary, made public to
day, shows a widespread reduction in
| conditions Of potatoes, due largely to
drought.
The condition of tobacco declined over
points. In Ohio, where condition is
the lowest, something over a half a crop
is expected, and the same may be said
of Maryland and Virginia. The crops
of Massachusetts, and Connecticut are
excellent Conditions in New York.
Pennsylvania and Kentucky approx
mate the average for the country
Drought and frOsts of the last of Septem-
Der are the principal causes of the lower
ed condition.
Rice-general average condition 80. 3.
decline of 4 points, due principally to
drought.
Hops-The product of hops is returned
at 80 8 per cent. of full crop. The
quality is generally very good, except in
Washington, where the louise and mold
have done material damage.
sugar cane-There IS very general
falling off in condition, due to drought.
The effect of the severe winter is seen in
stuoble cane fields. The prospective
crop is much under that of 1894.
SOrghum-This crop seems to have
suffered little except in Virginia Low
conditions east of the Blue Ridge reduce
the general average to 80.
A uYliGa ha continued drOnghF hot
weather and high winds of September,
causing premature. ripening and drop,
ping, have resulted in loss of over two
points il tie average condition of ap-
pies Tie greatest losses occurred in the
central west, where the crop was album
dant. 1t is thought both the eating and
keeping quality Of the fruit has been
much impaired and in many sections a
tendency o rot is already noted. The
average condition now stands at 700.
