THE KANSAS CORN CROP.
1t VIII lie Much BETTER Than at FIRST
Supposed.

Topeka, Kan. Aug. 23.-The Capital
tomorrow will publish reports from
every county of the state. giving the
condition and probable yield of corn
as known last night. These returns
show that, though former estimates of
half crop may have been correct the
generous rains of August have
brought the late corn out so that its
enormous yield in many counties
makes up for the loss by hot winds
and very materially raises the average
In only ten counties will tn" yield
be n fourth crop or under. In eight
there will hc but n third OF a crop.
In 26 there will he from considerably
over third to over half crop. In %
the crop will be three-fourths full. and
in Is the crop will be full, while in
II the yield will not fall below 80
bushels to the acre. From these re-
turns II will he seen that the yield
will not he far from three-fourths of
n crop. and may be very much more,
when 1t is considered that the great
acreage of the good crop counties will
outweigh much of the loss in other
counties. There is reason for bcliev-
ing that the state yield will not fall
short of 150,OOO.UO0 bushels, and may
be near 2OO.0OO,0OO.

residing in This city and the

cited over what appears to be the ex-
istcncc of II volcano on a plantation
near here. The crater is about twcp-
ty-iive feet square. Several streams
of blue smoke issue from 1t. The
ground in the immediate location of
the crater has sunk to the extent of
two feet. Excavations made show
that the smok" proceeds from an cx-
tcnsivc he'd of ashes.
Originally the source of disturbance
was situated beneath the residence of
II farmer but the volume of smoke and
intense heat compelled the destruction
of the house. II is impossible that the
smoke should proceed from burning
coal mines. as there are no mineral
deposits in this locality. Frequent
rains have failed to luencli the sub
terrancan fires. The phenomenon is
being visited by hundreds Of curious

Prices for Securities Took Another Upward
jump Yesterday.
New York June 1.-THE prices of Sc
ourities to-day scored a further step in
the progress towards a higher plane,
which has continued the dominant ten
dency of the market now for over two
weeks. There was large amount of
selling to realize profits from time to
time by holders satisfied with their
gains and skeptical of the stability
and permanence of the higher range
prevailing. But as has been the case
more and more notably, the offerings
to realize were quickly absorbed, with
only a temporary setback to prices.
Closing prices to-day were generally
below the best of the day owing to
this profit taking as was the cese yes
terday, net gains being considerably
less than the advance.
The list of transactions shows many
additional stocks awakened from dor
mant state into active trading. This
was, in fact, so markedly the case as
to suggest manipulation with the pur-
pose of bringing inactive stocks up to
the level of the recently advancing and
active securities. There was talk on
the exchange of a bull pool at work in
certain securities. This belief was ac-
centuated by the contrast of the halt
in the advance Of the active leaders Of
the recent upward movement, notably
the grangers. This is familiar device
in a bull market to realize in one group
of securities while sustaining the mar
ket by purchases in another The IA
vorites in to-day's advance were the
low-priced shares Of reorganized COM
panies.
There were over $4,000 shares of
Northern Pacific sold. OF Union Pa
cific % 900 shares were sold. This group
had been a favorite with London for
some time, and the high rate attained
invited some selling. The prices of
many stocks were carried below last
nights close by realizing at one time
or another during the day, but practi-
cally all show net gains, the notable
exceptions being Northwest, Omaha
and Lead preferred. Tobacco lost a
point. Canada Southern at one time
reacted IA per cent, but gained a frac-
ton net.
The stocks of the Iron companies were
notably strong on the trade outlook

tional. but extended to a point or over
