Much Old Corn Is Now Being
Marketed.
Farmers Making Room For the
New Crop.
CAR FAMINE CERTAIN.
Railroads Have Not Facilities to
Handle Immense Production.
Stock viii Also Help Out In
the Scarcity.
CAR FAMINE CERTAIN.

The old corn that has been stored in
Kansas since the crop of last year and
the year before is now commencing to
move. Demands are being made on the
railroads for cars. and il is estimated
that the bulk of the old corn viii be
marketed before the enormous crop OF
this year is ready for market
This movement of old corn means
that the corn traffic on the railroads
will be continuous from this time up
TO the time the shipments of new corn
ceases. The new corn crop viii not
commence TO move in any quantity be-
fore the last of October or first of No
xember. but there is enough old corn
in the state to keep the railroads busy.
The car service and operating de-
partments of all Kansas railroads are
now working industriously in an ef-
fort to secure cars for the present traf-
fic This traffic can probably be taken
care of, but when the stock shipments
commence in earnest and the big corn
crop of this year starts to move it Will
be an impossibility for the railroads to
supply the demand for cars. Railroad
officials predict one of the greatest car
famines in the west this winter.

has rejoined his team and in the fourth
inning. while chasing a foul fly yester-
day, twisted the same ankle again and
injured it so badly that he will be laid
up for another two or three weeks, if
not the remainder of the season.
President Dreyfus of the Louisville
club, has been in consultation here all
day with Messrs Reach and Rogers of
that an important deal is brewing, but
neither say what it is, each insisting on
secrecy until it is contaminated How
many players are involved in the deal
is not definitely known. It is known,
however that Louisville wants Cooley,
and it is also stated that Dreyfus would
like to secure Chiles, the Phillies' hard
hitting first baseman, used all season
as a general utility man. It is also
known that the Phillies want Louisville
to take back Magee-
1t now turns out that the terms of
the deal for Magee were as follows:
Philadelphia to pay $3.50 for Magee,
Louisville guaranteeing him to be sound
and all right, If not Reach and Rogers
to return him and take one of Dreyfus' ;
other tWirlers, the choice. it is said, be-

money should be reduced to $3.50 if
