Gerins was first up and went out from
ISbel! to Vaughn. Tebeau was next and
hit high fly to Ritter who let the ball
bound out of his hands, apparently
through over-confidence, for he seemed to
have it safe and sound When Bierbauer
hit a pOp-up to Shugart it looked as
though the error was not going to be so
very costly, but Buelow decided this
question in the negative with line drive
through the short field. This was follow
Ell with a two-base drive by buckley

McGill was all smiles when he faced
Fisher and helped the bad thing along
with a fly back of third that netted him
a base and scored Buckley. Pickering
ended the run getting with fly TO Lally
and the visitors were still one short. In
the ninth they had to face Roger Denzer

Gathering the Corn.

Western farmers are now busy gath
ering their corn, and it will not be long
before some definate idea can be had
as to the actual yield. The indications
are that the crop will not be so large
as expected, but the prices which will
in all probability be realized for that
which will be gathered will more than
Offset any deficiency in the yield esti-
mated some time ago.
The export demand for corn is good
and the promise OF a large number of
cattle being fed in the corn producing
states equally encouraging. The con
dition Of the market for cottonseed
meal in Texas is so unsettled that it Is
likely a much smaller number of cattle
will be fed in that state than last year.
In fact the price of cottonseed meal
and Of feeding cattle, both being high,
will deter many from purchasing
either. This will tend to increase the
number OF corn fed cattle. Then, again,
the corn crop being short in the south
aud east this year will have the effect
of increasing the demand from those
portions of the country. Exports Of
corn last week were nearly 100000
bushels larger than during the CORE
spending week last year and since
July 1 the increase in exports over the
same time in 1898 amounts to about
100000 bushels.
There is some complaint from the
east and southeastern counties of Kan
sas in regard to the yield of corn not
coming up to expectations. The crop
of the state will undoubtedly be small
Ter than the estimates made in August
and September, yet there is no fear
but there will be suficiency for all
local demand and a surplus besides.
While there will be a surplus, the in
dicatiOns are that only financial neces-
sity will force the farmers to sell large
ly, and as that will not probably be the
case to any great extent, it may be said
the bulk Of the Kansas corn this year
