the country will be 2,10S,0 100000 bushels.
Thie is 3O,0OO,0O0 bushels more than last
year and is the largest corn crop since
1896, when 2,2S3, 100000 bushels were
raised. This years crop, if maintained in
the final estimates, will be the third larg-
est on record. The surplus States will
have 1885, OO0,0 900 bushels, or 30,000,0OO
bushels more than last year and POI, OO0,-
600 bushels in excess of 1898.
Iowa takes the lead with crop of $685.

bushels more than last year, and it is
next to the largest crop, estimated by
the government, on record, which was
321 ,OO0,OO bushels, in 1896. The State
department OF Iowa, however, gives this
year as the record breaker. Illinois is in
second place with 264, 100000 bushels, OF
within 100000 bushels Of it's best rec
ord.
The crop of the surplus States, as es-

the past two years makes the following
showing:

The yield of corn per acre is 2o.3 bush
els, as compared with 25.31 bushels in
1899, or 24.76 bushels in 1898, and ten
year average of 24.1 bushels. The high

showing up better than expected.
The indicated yield per acre in Ohio
is 81 bushels, in Indiana and Iowa IS, in
Illinois 81 in Missouri %, in Kansas -,
and in Nebraska 26 bushels. The aver

WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Position of the British I here Ks Fal
from Being Favora BILE.

Position of the British There Is Far
from Being Favora BILE.
The war between the British and Beers
in South Africa is far from being ended.
The position Of the British forces there
is decidedly worse than when they hrst
occupied Pretoria in June The fact that
the Beers no longer have all important
fixed position to be attacked has left
them free to indulge in the ubiquitous,
rowing warfare which they are prosecut-
ing with such extraordinary success. 1he
British no longer have any definite OBJ
iective for heavy operations, ana are
as far as ever from acquiring equal NM
bleness with the Beers at scattered hight
ing.
The burgherS are now masters OF the
country in the western Transvaal around
Vryburg. They also hold all the keys
to the Southern Free State, and have re-
peatedly held the main railway from Pre-
toria to Cape Town, above the orange
river They have recently captured
trains and supplies, severed British COM
munications and captured several small
British garrisons These successes have
increased the activity Of all the Boer
forces in the field. The net result is that
Botha, De Wet and Delarey are all as
strong as they were four months ago,
When supplies are short they sweep
down on some village which the British
hold and which they know is well filled,
and help themselves.
The unreconcilable bitterness of the
Boer women is extraordinary. 1t was
the women and other neutrals that
brought the Beers right into Jacobsdal
and Phillipolis, where they overpowered
the garrisons. The struggle is rapidly
drifting into race war, involving every
body living in the country. When Presi-
dent Kruger sailed from Delagoa bay
it was Immediately declared that he was
a mere private harmless refugee, embar-
RAISING only to the country which he Wis
tied. 1t is impossible to maintain that
belief now. It is seriously possible that
with Kruger now, in Europe and the
Beers active in South Africa some power
may seek to advise England to arrange a
settlement That that advice will be re-
iected is certain. but the offering Of it
will continue the Boer belief that their
struggle for independence is not hopelesa
