RUSSIAN WHEAT CROP.
A Shortage Of Many Million Bush
els Over Last Year.


WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The Agri-
cultural Departments foreign CORE
spondent for July states that the es-
timated shortage in the Russian crop
Of wheat is from S5,O00,0OO to 100000.
GOO bushels as compared with last year.
The deficiency ia most serious in the
regions most favorably situated for
export. In the north unreasonable
cold weather has unfavorably affected
all the crops of hay, potatoes and all
grains, except oats. The rye crop, an
important one, is very short.
The Russian official report on wheat
is a little above fair" 2.3 being the
technical designation.
The Austrian outlook for wheat and
rye is good in all but one province,
that of Bukowina. Austria, Roumania
and Bulgaria all slightly below the
average in wheat, rye and maize.
A French estimate of wheat crops of
Spain and Italy puts it at 34,0OO,000
bushels below last year, the shortage
being somewhat heavier in Spain.
The wheat crop in France is repre-
scented as satisfactory, but the opti-
mist estimates made earlier in the
season have been scaled down by later
crop damage, the estimate now being
352, 100000
In Great Britain cable reports of a
severe general storm presage consid-
cradle damage to a grain crop that
otherwise would have been ranked as
fair.
Hay is very much below the average
The report from India shows better
conditions in Bengal and the North
west provinces than for several years
previous, but this Improvement does
not extend to the Punjab.

SOLD INTO SLAVERY.
An Americans Experience on the
Upper Amazon.

INDIANAPOLIS Qnd.), July 1S.-G
T. McKim of Thornton has received a
letter from Steve Fell. which says that
for twelve years he has been slave
in TRIBE of the Upper Amazon. He
started with two other men, Messrs
Edwards and Boynton. of whom died
from snake bite and the other from
fever. Fell survived an attack of dis
ease, but the natives charged him so
much for their services that he was
unable to pay, and he was sold into
slavery.
Fell says his last owner was a young
woman, who treated him royalty for
a time, but, becoming incensed at him,
she used great cruelty toward him.
Fell slew his guards and escaped by
sailing to tributary of the Amazon
and building a raft on which he floated
for many miles. A Catholic priest
named Pathemy Guarmo gave him
clothing and aid and a letter to an
other priest down the river, and he
finally reached Rio Janeiro. From there
Fell shipped on sailing vessel for
San Francisco and is now working on
a farm in California.

enable the cruiser Olympia to enter thia
port, owing to a regulation affecting
war ships.
Minister Straus. at Constantinople.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-05-01
IT HAS CROSSED THE RUBlCoN

My previous discourses' on real estate
are bearing fruit; those who have read
them, and, judging from the number Of
inquirers, they are up in the thousands
are investigating the subject. The vacant
lands in and near Savannah have assun-
ed a value that non-thInkers did not
think about month ago. My discOurses
have opened the eyes of the blind to the
steady growth of the city and the increas-
ing value of building lots. There is one
thing very observable in this movement;
IL is that the city's extension is southeast.
It has crossed the Rubicon," as it were,
that means the right of way and tracks
of the Plant System, to the neglect of
property directly southwark; the back
bone which here ofore has been considered
the only true line of improvement, has
given way to the east side.
The farthest lots on Ninth street are not
as far east as that lovely settlement,
The Meadows" I mention this so that
you can get your geographical bearings
adjusted If you buy lot on Ninth street
and build a house you can look out of
your window and see nice houses farther
from the thickly built up part of the city
than yours.
If there was ever a time when a man in
Savannah could afford to buy real estate
It is this. Money is cheap, whether you
want TO build a house, or buy lot or lots,
TO hold for a rise. Just make an enquiry
as TO the present price of that lot you
looked a and would not buy in 1897 or 1898
and ascertain what is asked for it in
this year. A. D. 1899! It will surprise you!
Just wait until next year when the steady,
reliable old city closes up It's vacant spaces
and you will be surprised again. 1 believe
that this is the time to invest in real estate,
and there is no better chance to do that
than in Ninth street lots. 1 don't like the
word BOOM" but I don't know any word
that suits better, and I therefore use it.
Savannah may not be on a BOOM" but il
is on the edge of something very like it.
and If there is not a big advance in the
| prices of real estate before this season is
over 1 am no judge of the indications.
Let all those who want pointers on real
estate call on me. I shall be glad to talk
with them, especially about Ninth street
lots. With kind regards, am faithfully
yours, C. II. DORSETT,
% Congress street, west.
