able damage was done to shipping by a
severe southeast cyclone early today

lighters of lumber sunk, lows of timber
went adrift, and there is a mass Of
wreckage of small boats along the water
front, while all the large export steam
ers at the Louisville & Nashville rail-
way wharves are so badly tangled to-
gether that it is impossible to tell how
seriously they are damaged.

disappeared from a schooner, and it is
thought he was blown overheard.
The fishing smack Maud Muller has

which is acknowledged to be the best and
most accurate authority on grain and
crops, says: There is reason for believ-
ing the estimate of 12S,000 600 bushels as

is much too low" This suggests a total
for farmers holdings March l. 1901. Sc
per cent in excess of the official estimate.
The Price Current says regarding crop
conditions. 1.-THE winter wheat crop con-
tinues in good condition. The yicissitudes
of March weather, with its freezing and
thaWing and high winds, so far have done
no material harm to the crop The wheat
plant seems able to stand rough weather
better than usual this spring. because
the long autumn and mild early winter
enabled the plant to grow to
greater size than usual at that time of
year" The market today was kept up
