of the week from his trip through

laid up at Harper. Kansas, ten days

He was in sight of the terrible cyclone

dividing and passing over and around
Harper. which some years ago was
devastated by a cyclone. Capt. Watts
describes. the scene as terrifying and
awful; men, women and children were
running about the streets frantic and
panic-stricken, screaming and moan
ing. In speaking of the general
condition of the country he says that
the prospects for good crops were
never better, that there has been an

considerable income from the creamer-

San FRANCISCO, Aug. 2i.-Bect sugar will

The machinery will permit OF the refining Of
cane sugar as well. and the prospects are that
1t will take considerable OF the Hawaiian crop

This years Hawaiian crop is estimated at
about 2OO. 900 tons. and while much of it may
be shipped directly East, II prices warrant. a
large amount will find It's way TO the new fac.
tory. Under the arrangement made some years
ago the Hawaiian planters are required TO send
their sugar to the Western Refinery Company
to be clarified and made merchnntable, hut this
contract will expire In December. and soon
thereafter the California Beet Sugar and Rein.

WHEIT IN ST. LOUIS.
Tho Bulls or last Week wcre Bearing the
Market Yesterday.

Market Hcaterdny.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2i.-The bottom again dropped
out OF the market here to-day, September wheat
declining q cents, December z, and May Ga.
For the frs: time in two weeks both the Sep
TENDER and December options opened off from
tho closing price Of the preceding day. The
bulls could not maintain the market even at the
low opening, and yesterdays big slump was du-
plicated to-day. the price OF wheat falling IL
cents since Monday morning.
As on Monday, the local traders followed the
Chicago market closely. Nearly 100. 600 BUSH
els Of wheat, mostly for September delivery,
were sold in the pit during the opening hour OF
the session. Up to call time the total slump
amounted 10 5ss cents. The sam men who led
tho great bull raid last week were responsible
for the drop to-day.
Nearly all OF the heavy exporters were on the
bear side. While they had contracts pending
with foreign consumers 1t was to their in.
bought on the big rise has been shipped to Eu-
rope, and contracts are RAPIDLY being closed.
The foreign demand is still heavy, and the ex-
porters' only hope of getting it ut n profit to
themselves is to buy wheat in the open market
at low prices. II was said on the floor to-day
that the high prices OF last week had paralyzcd
the exporting business, rs the foreigners would
not make new contracts at the high prices.
Besides the haInmering of the exporters. the
most bcnrish factor was the report Of local re-
Ceipts. During tho last twcnty-four hours $780,.
600 bushels OF wheat were brought to st. Louis.
The closing quotations were: September, 9iAc.;
December. 94'sc., and May, 964c.

EUROPE'S SHORT CROPS.
We Can supply Her Needs in Grain. but q
Potato Famine seems CnaxoIdnble.

We Can supply Her Needs in Grain. but q
Potato Famine seems Unavoidable.
An extensive inquiry into European crop con.
ditions conducted by the Orange Judd syndicate
of agricultural papers. reinforced by late returns
by cable. indicates that the food crop situation
abroad is grave.
Commercial estimates OF Europe's Including
England's) needs of wheat imports range all tho
way from 800. 900, 900 to 400, 900, 900 bushels.
The returns indicate that Europc's wheat crops
for lS95.4-3 were about 1900 900, 600 bushels.
In the famine year OF 1891 the crop was only
l,2O0. 900 900.
Tho impression Is gaining ground that
Europe's wheat crop this year is oven less than
In 1891. II 30. she must not only import her
usual supply of wheat, but SOC. Ooo, 900 bushels
more on top Of that.
But this is not tho worst of 1t. Europe usually
produces as much rye rs she does wheat. This
season the rye crop cannot much exceed s75,-
10000 bushels. or potatoes she Produces, in
ordinary seasons. twice MS many bushels as she
docs of wheat. This year il Is estimated that
only about l,S50,OOo.000 bushels Of potatoes
will be harvested.
No part OF the world apparently has any con.
siderable surplus OF cereals except the United
countries il found TO be about - pr cent. less
than last year. and may be still smaller.
Thcl nitcd states has no potatoes for export.
l. prices 20 high enough the United states can
bushels OF corn, 100 900, 900 bushels OF oats, and
lO.OoO.u 900 hushcls OF rye.
This would he the largest export ever made Of
American grain. II IS Just about enough to on
set Europe = need of wheat and rye. There
seems to be no source for Furopc 10 draw upon
Tor her enormous shortage in potatoes.

WHEAT STILL TUMBLTNG.
BREAK DUE TO THE sPEoULATITE
CONDITION.

1t started In Chicago ana was Quickly Taken
Up by tho bears nere-septembcr Drops
s-a Cents, December one-eiEhth OF n
Cent for tho for Corn Heavy.
Tho break In the price OF wheat on Monday
was The forerunner OF q demoralized market
yesterday, and prices dropped 30 fast that at ono
umc there was u scramble TO unload. OF course
this was the opportunity for tho bears, and
their selling helped not n little to bring about
the sharp recession in prices. The break must
be ascribed largely to tine speculative condition.
for there was nothing in the Government crop
report to bring about such a pressure to sell.
Quotations from Liverpool were lower, and
the opening transactions on tho Produce Ex.
change showed losses from tho closing prices OF
the previous day. Tho frat wheat sold was
taken well, however. and there was decided
strength shown In the first few minutes. Tho
break started in Chicago, and as soon as 1t was
indicated on the grain "tickers" here there
was n rush to unload in this market also. Tho
pit on the Exchange floor presented n wild scene
as wild as when prices were going up only u
few days ago as rapidly as they tumblcd yea
tcrday.
December options shared in active dealings
with those due In September. The September
option opened at n decline of 1ls cents. and in
the first few minutes advanced to l0i, which
was half a cent higher than Mondays clos
ing, but from that price the decline was prac-
tically continuous, and the closing showed a net
loss for the day OF % cents. December, which
Is now the active option, opened one cent lower
and rallied to lUlA, which was, however, still
oEe-eighth Of n cent below tho closing on Mon
day. Tho net loss for this option was tho same
as that for the September option.
B'ddStrcct'S weekly statement OF available
supplies, issued yesterday; shows that the stock
of wheat east of tho Rocky Mountains de-
creased 1000 bushels. European stocks in
creased 500. 900 bushels, and the worlds stocks
increased 423 900 bushels. Chicago adviccs re-
ported increased arrivals at that point, and that
the large dealers were giving no support to the
market.
The market for corn was also heavy, but there
was not much excitement in 1t. The September
option closed with n net loss Of pa cents for the
day and the December option 23s cents lower
than Mondays closing price.
