LAID WASTE BY FIRE.
Fifteen Million Dollars Worth of
PrOperty Destroyed i'm London.

Not since 1866 has London expert
enced such disastrous contiagratlon
as that which swept the streets OF the
city Friday and Saturday OF last
week. Nearly hundred ware
houses, filed with stocks OF goods,
were destroyed. The historic church
of st. Giles suffered severely, the
principal damage being to the ROOF,
the old windows, the baptismal font
and Millions statue. The loss is
estimated at over sl5, 900, 900. The
fire started in large block of build
ings living east of Aldersgate street;
between that thoroughfare and Red
Cross street, about O'Clock Friday
afternoon, and famed by a strong
wind and fed by highly infamma6le
stocks of goods that filled the SIX
story buildings, gained such head
wav that il was soon far beyond the
possibility of being checked. More
than a hundred engines worked Tor
hours before the flames were gotten
under control.

Michigan Crop Report.

The average condition of wheat on
November LIST was in the southern
counties, -; central, 80; northern,
lob. and state, 80, comparison being
with vitality and growth of average
years. The condition in the southern
counties where 50 per cent of the
crop is grown. is Is per cent lower
than one year ago. The average
condition in the state on previous
years has been: 1896, 80; 1895, 10:
1894, "a; 1893, So 1892, 81; and 1879,
Of.
The severe drouth prevailing at
the date OF the October report was
not broken In the southern and cen
trail sections of the state until Octo-
Der llth. Light rains occurred on
the 5thSth, but not in sufficient
amount to be of benefit. On the
18th and II storms occurred gener-
ally throughout the state, the rain
fall being sufficient to afford relief.
Since this storm wheat has made
fairly good progress. On fields ia
vorably situated it is looking well,
but large proportion of the fields
are more than ordinarily spotted.
This is particularly true of rolling
fields where the tops and sides of
hills are practically bare. There
was a second general rain on the
l9th-22d, and a lighter one on the
3lst. These rains were of great inn
mediate advantage. but heavy, soak
ing rains are yet needed to place the
ground in usually wet condition at
the opening of winter. The rains in
August September and October were
more abundant in the northern
counties and wheat there is in fine
condition.
The estimates indicate that the
area seeded to wheat this fail is six
per cent greater than sowed in the
fall of 1896 The estimated excess in
the southern counties is four per
cent. in the central six per cent, and
in the northern fifteen per cent.
The total number of bushels Of
wheat reported marketed by farmers
since the October report was pub
lished is 962, 963, and in the three
months, August, September and
October. 5,597 99j. This is 2.19S,
s2l bushels more than reported mar
kcted in the same months last year.
The average yield of corn per acre
in the state is estimated at 81 bushels
of ears. equal TO about 30 bushels of
shelled corn The estimate for the
southern counties is 60, central, ,63,
and northern, 81 bushels of ears.
The average for the state is three
bushels lower than made October /.
The area of clover seed harvested
is large, at least much larger than in
any late year. and the estimated
average yield higher than ever yet
reported in the farm statistics. The
WELD in the state is estimated at
1.92 bushels. in the southern coun-
ties at Isl, central, 2.l6. and north
ern, bushels per acre.
Potatoes are estimated to yield in
the state "a per cent of an average
crop. The estimate for the southern
counties is 90, central, 63, northern,
50, and upper peninsula 80 per cent.
Live stock is in good condition.
The percentages are 96 for horses and
cattle. 81 for sheep and % for swine.
comparison being with stock in good
healthy and thrifty condition.
