SEPTEMBER CROP REPORT.
Wheat Condition Below the Show
ing of 1894 and 1895.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 10.-The September
report OF the statist1cian of the department
OF agriculture shows decline in the condi-
ton OF corn from the August statement of
live points, or from SO per cent in August to
81 in September. The averages in the prin-
clpal corn growing states are: Kentucky
Illinois, 100; Iowa, 1903; Missouri, So; Kansas
So; Nebraska 103 Although there has been
falling off of condition in some states par
tcularly in Kansas and Nebraska the crop
this year promises to be large one. Nearly
all the great central states report a high
condition, though with many local reports Of
drought, flooding, rains, insects, or, along the
northern border early frosts. Kentucky and
Missouri report considerable injury by dry
weather. and this impairment is shown in all
the states to the south, increasing towards
the gulf. Later crops has Jared worse in most
states. The Pacific slope sends favorable re-
ports.
The general condition of wheat. considering
both winter and spring varieties when har
vested, was 74.6 against 1874 in 1895 and 1871
in 1894. The reported conditions for the prin-
cipal wheat states are follows: Ohio, ST.
Michigan, rs; Indiana Sc; Illinois, II; Wis
consin. 70; Minnesota, 50; Iowa, "a; Missouri,
rs; North Dakota. 81; California, 100; Ore
gon. so; Washington, Is. East of the Rocky
mountains complaints of both quality and
quantity Of the wheat crop are almost uni
versal, the causes alleged being winter kill
Ing due to the deficient snow covering, stunt
ed growth due to early drought, insect at
tacks, rust, ana especially heaVy rains Iol-
lowing harvest, from which a large per cent
of the grain sprouted and rotted in the
shock. A few scattered counties are ex-
cepted The early threshed grain in some
states escaped injury, and the spring wheat
Jared generally better than winter wheat
The Pacific slope suffered somewhat, chiefly
from dry weather shrinking the grain. but
not SO generally as the Central and Eastern
states.
The European agent of the department re-
ports a general reduction from earlier esti-
mates of the wheat crop owing to unfavorable
weather which WAS particularly bad at har-
good westward The quality Of grain Is re-
ported high. Oats and barley will be short
The corn crop in the southern peninsulas Is
looking well.
The condition of oats when harvested was "a
per cent, against 77.3 in August; rye, 81;
barley, S31 buckwheat. 1872; tobacco, SID
a fall of points since August; potatoes, S5.S
against 90.S per cent last year.

FOREIGN FINANCIAL.
Increase in the Discount as Viewed
I'm London.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.-Evening
Posts London financial cablegram:
The stock markets opened steady to-
day, but gave way sharply on the rise
in the Bank Of England's rats. and
after partial recovery closed dat at
the lowest prices Of the day Consols
went down one point to 111h. Home
railways were also affected and all
were weak. Americans and other
speculative stocks all fell sharply, but
Americans closed a fraction above the
lowest on the gold exports The mar
kets, however, were thoroughly unset
tied and disorganized The dealers
have been so accustomed for two and
a half years to per cent discount
rate that the change, although ration
al, comes as a shock to the markets
when prices are abnormally high.
The issue of $6,000,000 Chinese 5 per
cent gold loan at SO is expected to be
announced tomorrow evening here and
In Berlin. Bankers and discount
houses have raised their deposit rates
to 1 per cent. The rise in the bank
rate was quite unexpected today. al
though an advance a month hence was
looked for. The rise has occasioned
the widest rumors as to gold with
drawals. l have reason however for
stating that the motives which actn-
ated the bank were simply the con-
dition of foreign exchanges, and the
certainty that large gold shipments
will have to go to Egypt and the con-
tinent, while the American demand
is felt to be an unmeas urable quantity.
That the last consideration weighed
considerably is suggested by the rise in
the banks selling price Of eagles. The
Paris bourse was weak. A storm rag

ton with London.

STONE FOREST OF FLoRIssANT.
One of the Wonders of the World
Found i'm the WfIds of Arizona.

Popular Science Monthly.
The silicified trees Of the FIorissant
basin are a marked curiosity in the
United States. They are less known
than the ''stone forest of Arizona or
than the similar mausoleum of the
Yellowstone region, but it is only be-
cause they have not yet been brought
to the attention of the tourist. The
trees are at the present time repre-
sented only by their stumps. In wan
dering over the green meadow the eve
here and there rests upon seemingly
bald" spot Over it are scattered
white and yellow chips, and. for any
thing the eye can itself distinguish
these could easily be the chips left in
the path of work Of a recently passing
woodsman. The deception is absolute
and it belongs to the stump as wei
The knots and gnarls and annuIar
rings are perfectly preserved; the bark
stands in prominent relief, both by
ruggedness and color, and all this not
In wood, but in the monumental sub
stance of stone. The precise manner
in which the substitution Of silica for
wood was effected cannot now he
learned. but In a general way we know
IT to have been brought about as a
result Of slow infiltration into the tree
trunks Of heated waters containing
silica in solution.
The remains are fairly numerous, but
what strikes one with special aston
ishment is the giant size which some
of them attain. Diameters of six, seven
and eight feet are by no means I'M
common, and we measured three speci-
mems which spanned ten feet or more.
In most instances the stumps hardly
rise above the surface, coming up flush
with 1t; therefore, without excavation,
1t is impossible to say at what height
above the roots the measurements were
taken.

Precautionary Measure ON the Par
of the English Directors

LONDON, Sept 1O-The Evening
Standard this afternoon says that the
unexpected raising Of the bank rate
from 2 to 21a per cent-the first time
since Feb. %, 1894, that there has been
a change-foreshadoW further gold
Withdrawals and has created consid-
cradle surprise on the stock exchange
The markets in consequence, the Even
ing Standard adds, were all fat. In
conclusion, the Evening Standard re-
marks: ut is too early to see the eff
feet of the advance. Thus far the only
movement which was a direct conse-
quenee was drop of 5s in consols"
The Westminster Gazette says that
the advance of the bank rate was
purely a precautionary measure, evil
dent from the bank return showing
the reserve to be about the same as on
the Corresponding date of 1895. The
Westminster Gazette adds: "It is gen
orally recognized in the market that
the action Of the directors was wise
and hopes are entertained that it will
check somewhat the exporting of gold.
The advance had an adverse effect on
the stock exchange, but it is not likely
to be permanent unless the withdrawal
of gold continues to such an extent as
to force more appreciable advance
or the bank rates. The Withdrawals
Of gold from the Bank of England to-
day were 1896, in American eagles,
and 100000 in bars, total of f456, 900.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "Unless
the bank has information which is not
generally known, the position scarcely
seems to warrant a rise in the bank
rate. However moderate the advance,
the present low value of money
cannot last forever, and it is
probably better to have the Of
fetal rate raised by easy stages, as
a precautionary measure, than to post
pone it until a bigger advance is neces-
sary. A panic might easily have re-
suited. 1t is possible that the directors
may foresee the necessity Of advancing
the bank rate to 8 per cent"

VANDERBILT's DOUBLE.
He Plays a Mandolin in a Chicago
Beer Hall.

Chicago Chronicle
1t is on old story that every man in the
world has his double. Many of them never
IND the other fellow, but he is there iust
the same. It is related that there is a we'll
known man-about-town in New York whose
resemblance to Chauncey NJ. Depew Is so
startling that few of the latter's friends can
detect the counterfeit from the genuine with
out close inspection. But this is an old story
Cornelius Vanderbilt has a double in Chicago.
The man who bears a strong likeness I'd
the head of the richest family in America
differs from the millionaire principally in
age He is man of perhaps thirty-six to
forty years Of age, well groomed, but not
loudly attired and with a decided dignity
OF bearing He wears the short side whis-
kers beside the ear, which is one Of the dis
t1ngu1shing marks of Mr. Vanderbilt. He
has long, delieately marked white hands and
ciear-cut face, such as one would expect
IN man OF unusual force of character
This fact is another blow to the theories Of
the physiognomists, who assert their ability
to read character in the lineaments This
man is not great fnancier. He Is not great
IN anything. He plays tire mandolin in a.
State street beer hall. He plays It badly
and seems to be content with his humble
lot. He deyotes his time to the execrabIe re-
production of the street ballads and smiles
his qualification when he receives applause
from the persons sitting at the tables. He Is
good fellow" in the sense of being will
ing to attempt to play anything any one NAV
ask for. Still, he is the double of Cornelius
Vanderbilt.

EXPRESS TRAIN BURNED.
Valuable Goods and Much Mail Mat
ter DESTROYED

GOSHEN, Ind, Sept. 10.-The Lake Shore
from New York to Chicago, caught fire near
here tonight and thousands of dollars worth
of goods with much mail matter were de-
stroyed. When the flames were discovered
the train was slowed down and an effort made
to extinguish them 1t proved unavailing
and wild run with the blazing train was
made for this city, six miles away. The fire
department was called and The fire subdued,
but not before much Of the valuable express
age had been destroyed The loss cannot be
accurately estimated tonight The origin of
the flames is supposed to have been spon-
taneous combustion.
