all the heavy labor is done on the per-

Statistics for 1898 Present . Remarkable
showing


The farmers of this country made
more money in 1898 than ever before
in its history. The forthcoming statis-
-tical report from the Department OF
Agriculture will show unprecedented
crops, Unprecedented prices and un-
precedented prosperity. The corn crop
in 1896 amounted to 2.2S3. S75, 1855 bush
els. valued AT S449. .276.O3O; in 1897 it
was 1902, ,96T 1913 bushels, valued at
SoO1 .0I2,952. In 1898, according to
present estimates, the volume was not
only largely increased. but the farm
value of corn throughout the country
averages 81 cents n bushel more than
in 1897.
The wheat crop in 1896, at - cents
a bushel, was valued at x42I .6S4, ,346;
In 1897. at sos per bushel. it was val
ned mt SI2S.54I .121. The increase in
1858 was l.411 ,692 acres, the largest in
history. and the crop was unprecedent-
ed in quality. quantity and price.
The barley crop in 1897 was worth
So, 142. 1870 at 81 cents bushel. The
figures for 1898 are not in yet, but the
price of Ala cents a bushel and the
preliminary report shows a crop slight
ly above the average. The same may
be said of rye, which is quoted at 46.3
cents bushel. against AL in 1897.
The farm price for oats in 1898, ac-
cording to the official figures of the
Agricultural Department, is 25.6 cents
bushel, against 21.2 for 1897, and 1915
in 1896. The totals are not in yet, but
in 1897 the crop was valued at $147.-
974,719.
Potatoes are now worth Ala cents a
bushel on the farm, which is large
falling off from 1897, when they sold
for 54.7 cents, but 1t is said that the diff
ference will be more than made up by
the increase in the volume of the crop,
which is believed to be twenty-one per
cent. greater than in 1897 when the to-
tai was valued at $50. 9.643, ,O59.
The hay crop Of the United States in
1897 was valued at S40l 800, 72S, with
hay selling at $662 ton. In 1898 the

selling at an average of So a ton

Baltimore q Ohio.

From time to time articles appear
in various papers about the so-called
chill control of Baltimore & Ohio,
together with exhaustive details of
various struggles which are supposed
TO be in progress between Mr.. Hill
and other people in the Baltimore &
Ohio board. The details of these strug
giles are very interesting, but are open
TO the criticism that they have no ex-
istence in fact. The plain facts of the
matter are, first that Mr.. Hill does not
control Baltimore & Ohio, nor has he
at any time expressed any desire or
taken any steps in that direction;
second, that there has at no time been
any differences of opinion between Mr..
Hill and the Baltimore & Ohio people
with regard to a selection of general
manager, the selection of Mr.. Under
wood being satisfactory to everybody;
and third, that the delay in regard to
Mr.. Underwood's acceptance of the
general managership of Baltimore &
Ohio was due to matters connected
with the 500 Line more than anything
else.
II is pretty well understood here
that Mr.. Hill was invited to interest
himself in Baltimore & Ohio, on the
theory that he could be of great SER
vice to the property as an adviser, and
to this end he, with some Of his
friends, purchased substantial inter-
est in the preferred stock Of the
company. This interest is nowhere
near a controlling interest, but is still
very large. 1t may be said without
fear of contradiction. that there is en-
tire harmony in Baltimore & Ohio
circles from top to bottom.

some Interesting reading for the people

snow unprecedented profits. For in

pany, capital S125, 900, shows net profits
OF $4,000; the Piedmont Mills. over
$1,000; the Huguenot Mills, S63, OOG. and
others in like proportion. Now, while
these profits seem large, the profit for
the current e will be much larger.
The Poe Mil which made S24,0O for
Twelve mon hs last year, is now max

pcr1ty will add nan spindles to the

about it all is hat there are some
