The condition of George smothers. the
young man who was injured in runaway
accident on the Conduit road 'neaf the In
ternational Athletic Park, last night, was
today reported at the Georgetown Univer-
sity Hospital to be improved. The patient
is suffering from concussion of the brain.
and while his condition is not thought to
be critical, it is still regarded as serious.
Smothers' injury appears to have been the
result of his failure to control the horse
he was driving. The animal became
frightened and running away, collided with
a tree stump at the side Of the load.
Smothers was thrown violently to the
ground and rendered unconscious.

Canned Goods.


Thos. j. Meehan & Co. of Baltimore say
of the canned goods situation. Unfavorable
reports concerning the crops of tomatoes,
corn and string beans are being received from
reliable men, located widely apart, which,
taken in connection with the large advance
in the prices OF empty cans, still higher prices
for which are predicted for September and
october deliveries, forms a good basis for
reaction from the present low prices on
each Of these articles. Just now IL is a case
OF watch and pray" The situation, gen
orally. is extremely interesting and worth
close attention.
During the week there has been very little
doing here of more than passing interest
and II can hardly be said that there was
q, distinct demand for any one article more
imam another; there was nothing more than
the usual run of everyday jobbng orders
for assorted lots. The hot weather last
month has forced the tomato crop very much
SO that the receipts during the month of
August have been unusually large and they
may be corresDondnElv light in September
and October. The high prices for cans have
sustained prices for the canned article.
