Only IS,OOO,OOO Gallons Yearly.

(New York World-2oth)
\ conference between the Independent
distillers Of Kentucky and the Ken
lucky Distillery and Warehouse Com
pany, the Kentucky whiskey combine,

made by the Independent distillers TO the
trust:
1.-THE Independent distillers are willing
10 enter into an Arrangement with the
kentucky Distilery and Warehouse
Company, whereby the production for
the season of 1899 and 1900 shall be fixed
and maintained within the limit Of 49,
100000 gallons, and that the independent
dstillers. on the one side, and the Ken
lucky Distilery and Warehouse Com
pany on the other, shall each control
one-half Of the output as agreed upon"
Speaking Of the proposition, john f.
POgue, who was the chairman Of the
independent distillers, said: IF the trust
should refuse TO accept the proposition
the Independents have no idea of food
ing the market, and in that way break
the prices. The independent distillers
do not intend 70 fight the trust, but are
going to join hands with the trust ana
effect d limitation 10 the production"
The result of the conference was not

CORN AT 25 CENTS A BARREL.
Pockets of Jersey Farmers suher
from Low Prices.

KEYPORT, n. j., August &.-Unless
there Is a change for the better I'm the
price of some farm products there will
not be a great amount OF them shipped
from this part of the state TO market I'm
the next week. 1t will be cheaper 20 feed
them to the hogs than TO ship them 20
the market and pay freight and commits
sion merchants. The season for high
prices has passed and the stuff that now
is being marketed is being shipped al a
loss and can be used TO better advantage
at home.
In this vicinity there arc hundreds or
acres of fine sweet corn that will be pull
ed and fed to the hogs. The reason OF
this is that for the last week the farmers
have been getting only p cents barrel
for it. In barrel of corn there are about
rs ears After growing It. pulling IL, and
hauling Il miles TO the boats here. the
farmer pays 10 cents a barrel TO have ii
sent to the market, and 10 per cent. to
tho commisson-man for selling H.
The woes Of farmer are set forth In
the story of one Of the men here who
shipped 100 barrels OF the finest sugar
corn TO the market last week. II took
two teams and four men all day 10 pun
and pack the corn and sent IL TO the
boats. The corn brought al the market
rate s25. Ten dollars OF this went TO pay
the freight and 81. % went TO the COM
misson-man. The check the farmer re-
ceived was for $3.50 OF this he had an
expense Of IS for his men and teams. The
balance Of $3.50 was all he got for the 40
barrels of corn. It did not pay for the
labor OF ploughing the ground and sow
ing the seed.
What makes the farmer feel badly
about it is the stories he hears from per-
sons from the city who tel him that the
corn for which he gets q cents a barrel
gross is being sold by grocers for a shill-
ing a dozen.
Eggplant is another sore spot with the
farmers, and many are talking about
shipping no more elephants. Elephants
Of the largest size, worth in the markets
Of New York Is cents each. are sold for
10 cents n barrel. There are about forty
FIVE eggplants I'm a barrel, and this makes
the price 2 cents each The farmers say
this is the limit for eggplant, and unless
things pick up the hogs Will have egg
plant as a slde dish with sweet corn.

NEW OTk TItSS-Loln.l
Dwight l.. Moody's presence in the pull
pit Of the Fifth-Avenue Presbyterian
church yesterday at the morning and
afternoon services filed every available
seat i'm the big auditorium. The regular at
tendants az the church-as many as were
in town-were present in force, and the
rest Of the congregation was composed
OF folk from all over the city and from
suburban places, who came 10 hear the
famous evangelist.
MOody's sermon was on the Bible, its
permanence as a power In the world,
and its invulnerability from the attacks
of criticism, especially as shown by the
fulhlment Of the prophecies made in IT,
Mr.. Moody took occasion TO speak Of
Or. John Hall. and TO ask the audience
10 join with him in prayer that a flt
successor should be sent speedily 10 fill
the pulpit.
Mr. Moody went on 10 speak OF the
truths OF the Bible as shown in its full
filled prophecies. I'm the Old Testament. .
he said. there were more than six hundred
prophecies, which had been fulfilled in
history 20 the letter. many Of them thou
sands Of years afterward. some Of them
at the present day. There were more
than two hundred prophecies In regard
10 Christ which had been fulfilled in the
New Testament
The prophecies Of the Old Testament
prophets in regard 10 the ancient cities
he gave as an especially striking ex-
ample of the proof that Gods Word could
not be broken. The prophecy that Baby
lon the great should become an utter
waste, and that the Arab should never
pitch his tent there. nor shepherds Craze
their sheep. was fulfilled literally to-day
in the utter refusal OF Arabian guides

believing that they never would see the
sun rise again.
'All hell and earth combned.' said the
evangelist, cant break Gods Word.
There would be a jubilee in perdltion to-
day IL you could break one title OF the
Word"
The prophecies and promises i'm regard
to the Jews he quoted as an especially
strong illustration ot the unal,erabl,
strength OF the Word OF God. Abraham
had been promised mat his name should
be known 10 all the ages and his de-
scendants should be people apart from
All the nations. Through all time thi.
had remained true.
