ELEVENTH DAY.
PROFITS OF PRODUCTS
90 Up While Security Holders Suffer
Loss.

DO Up Whllo Security HOlderS Sunel
New York, Dec. 1S.-Never has pro
duction been greater, the number Of
hands employed larger, the wages dis
tributed higher, or the purchasing
power, based upon earnings, greater
than at this time and never have con-
ditiOns of trade or returns of earnings
and traffic given certainty of greater
business for transporters. Yet, as the
earnings of the railway and manufacture
ing companies mount upward, their
stocks decline as if it were disastrous
for road to double its earnings and
ruinOus for a mill to realize unprece-
dented profits. Inflated capitalization
has of course done much harm, and
speculative excitement has counted
profits in many cases, long before they
were earned. Money markets here and
abroad have been strained by British
reverses in South Africa, and wherever
they were overloaded have been pushed
to quick and disastrous. instead of
gradual, liquidation. The result is
that while the industries and transport
ing companies realize great profits, the
speculative holders of their stocks real
ize severe losses.

Figures On Present Crop And Next
Years Crop.
Washington, Dec. 19.-The statisti-
clan of the department of agriculture
reports the wheat crop of the United
States for 1899 at SAT 800, 900 bushels,
1913 bushels per acre. The production
of winter wheat is placed at e91. 200, 900
bushels and that of spring wheat at
255, 500 900 bushels. Every important
wheat growing state has been visited
by special agents of the department
and the changes in the acreage are the
result of their Investigations.
, The newly seeded area of winter
wheat is estimated at 80, $50, 900 acres,
which is about 200, 900 acres greater
than that sown in the fall of 1898. The
sowing of wheat is still going on in
California and some of the southern
states and the foregoing estimate is
subject to correction. The average
condition is 97.1.

LADYSMTH LIKELY TO FALL.

London, Dec. 1S-Buller to Lans-
downe: l regret to report a serious
reverse. moved in full strength from
our camp near Chieveley. There are
two fordable places in the Tugela river
and it was my intention to force a
passage through at one of them. They
are about two miles apart. The losses
in General Harris brigade are, fear.
very heavy. although the proportion of
severely wounded, hope, is not large.
The Fourteenth and Sixty-ninth field
batteries also suffered severe losses.
We have retired to our camp at Chiev-
ely.
The Times says: ''Since the days OF
the Indian Mutiny the nation has not
been confronted with SO painful and
anxious situation. Plainly. General
Buffers advance is paralyzed for the
moment, as Lord lIethuen's and Lord
Gatacre's"
The depression over the defeat of
Great Britain's trusted and idolized
commander is all the greater as during
the preceding forty-eight hours there
had been reports of the relief Of Lady
smith. The war office allowed it to be
understood that the position of affairs
in Natal was entirely satisfactory.
The reaction is all the more pronounced
on this account. The latest dispatches
indicate the continued bOmbardment
of Ladysmith, whose position is now
perilous.

[BV[IER PLAYS SECOND PART
Baron Roberts Given Chief Com
mand in South Africa.
NATAL AND CAPE COLONY.

London, Dec. 19.-Baron Roberts, of
Kandahar and Waterford, commander
Of the forces in Ireland, has been ap-
pointed to the chief command in South
Africa, with General Lord Kitchener,
of Khartoum, as his chief of staff.
''Black week" as last week is now
universally called. has evidently
aroused the government and the war
Office to full sense of their response
6ility and of the magnitude of the task
before them. The papers unanimously
applaud this awakening, despite the
fact that they recognize that the heroic
measures now decided upon SAVIOR
rather of weakness than of strength.
Rumor has it that the question of
expense has really been at the bottom
of the half-hearted measures hitherto
adopted, and it is not unlikely that Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor of the
exchequer, and other members of the
cabinet, will resign.
1t was high time that something
very energetic was done. The British
losses, in killed, wounded, prisoners
and missing throughout the campaign.
now reach the enormous total of 1850.
As a result of the British reverses the
whole country northward in Natal is
in rebellion. The natives there, as
well as those in Basatuiand, are said
to be much disturbed and losing heart
respecting the strength of the British.
Secret meetings of Boer sympathizers
continue to be held in various parts of
Cape Colony, and the attitude of the
Dutch farmers is truculent.
Arrangements are being made, and
will shortly be announced, for the EN-
ployment in South Africa of strong
contingent of carefully selected volun-
teers. The patriotic offers which are
being received from the colonies will,
as far as possible. be accepted, prefer
ence being given to offers of mounted
contingents.

Famine In Persia.

Washington. d. c.. Dec. 19.-Minister
Bowen, in Persia, informs the state
department that great distress prevails
in Persia, in consequence of the high
price of bread. He says the situation
is growing worse every day and that
the prospects are that the poor will be
face to face with starvation during the
entire winter. American missionaries
cannot obtain bread enough for their
servants, or for the schools and hos
oitals under their care.

Belligerents May Buy Anything.

New York, Dec. 19.-The shipments
of arms and ammunition from this city
to South Africa for use by British
forces against the Beers caused the
consul of the Free Orange State, to file
a protest with Secretary of State Hay.
Pierce received note from Mr.. Hay
declaring that the department of state
could not take any action in the prem
ises. In case of war belligerents have
the right to purchase any kind of
goods in a neutral country, subject to
cOnfiScatiOn after shipment.

EUROPEAN PRESS COMMENT.
Thousands Of EngIishmen Offering
To Volunteer Here.
At NEW YORK CONSULATE.

Berlin, Dec. 19.-Te German press
and people are jubilant over the news
from South Africa, and everywhere in
the streets people greet each other and
offer congratulations. Among the
press comments is that of Krcuse
Zeitung, which says:
Thus the fighting power OF the third
column is destroyed and the campaign
against the Beers is disastrously end
ed. What, however, means more, is
that England's decadence, long ago ap-
parent to far-sighted statesmen, has
thus become visible to the whole world.
Rome, Dec. 19.-General Buffers
reverse produced a profound impression
n all circles here, where it it regarded
IS most serious for the military pres
;ige of England. The Afternoon papers
devote long articles to the subject.
London, Dec. 19.-Never within the
:ange of the longest memory, has Great
Britain met with three successive mill
AIRY reverses in a single week and
hence it is not surprising that notes OF
anxiety should be heard amid the gen.
.ral chorus of press expressions or
grim philosophy and resignation.
New York, Dec. 19.-Many thou
lands of loyal Britons have been call
ng at the British consulate in this
:ity in the last few days Offering their
services to their mother country in her
struggle with the Beers. Sir Percy
Sanderson, the British consul general,
said that since the war broke out he
had received many thousands of ap-
plications from fellow-countrymen in
this city who wire ready and willing to
enlist and GO to the front. Individuals
md societies had come to the consular
office daily, he said, rendering their
services.

Washington, Dec. 19.-General Otis
now has in custody many important
persons who were connected with the
so-called Filipino government but no
decision as to their future disposition
has been reached by the president.
A member of the cabinet said the

render. Any Filipino caught directly
