Sioux City, July 22.--In an interview
here on the crop situation j. II. Ayers.
who has made a weeks trip thru the
country observing the condition of corn
and other crops, says:
Corn within twenty miles of Sioux
City is damaged at least 40 per cent by
the hot spell. In some localities the crop
won't 20 ten bushels To the acre. OF
course some farms vii show better than
this. In the bluff country running from
east to north the damage is perhaps not
over, 70 per cent. That region had heavy
rains about ten days later than the 9TH
conditions in the south part of the coun-
ty extend over into Ida and Sac coun-
ties
The damage to corn is not 50 much
from the dIyness as from the hot winds.
The bottom of the stalks is green, but
the tops are dried and shriveled up. The
sap is sucked cut of the tops more rap
idly than it can be supplied from the
bottom. The tassel of the early corn is
cooked, hence the ears can not mature
properly.
The wheat crop will be almost an
average one in this county. 1t is about
the same as last Year. Generally, i be-
lievc IL Will yield about eleven bushels
10 the acre. Some fields will go as high
as sixteen bushels Wheat straw has

Wheat crop is just about one-half what

.0.ENS ON CROP SCARE
Believes Increased Price Of Corn
Will Repay Any Crop
Damage.
--
The Stock Market Considerably
Affected by the Reports OF
Damage.
Liquidation Has Placed Stock.
In Strong Hands...Improve-
ment Noticeable.

New York, July 2o.-Henry Clews'
Financial Review says:
The situation in Wall street has shown
much Improvement during the week.
Heavy liquidation shifted stocks from
weak into strong hands and resulted in
an important contraction in loans and
consequent relief to the money market.
The corn crop damage, as we showed a
week ago. was much exaggerated, and it
is generally acknowledged that the crop
situation, as a whole, promises to be
satisfactory Nevertheless. damage ru-
fnors are likely to affect the corn belt
roads at any time and cause violent
fluctuations. Better prices Will amply
repay any damage to corn, of which
there Will be no actual scarcity; and
wheat. of which we have a bumper crop,
is sure to be exported largely for filling
foreign deficiencies. The crop scare
therefore. Is a thing to be expected tho
it would cause no surprise IL much OF
the damage We're repaired as the season
progresses. The event of greatest i'm
portance. however, was the settlement
OF the Northern Pacific dispute and the
establishment of harmony between con-
f.ictlns railroad interests thru the eff
forts of Mr. Morgan. With easier
money. with passing of the drouth and
with harmony restored between tho big
railroad magnates. the chief obstacles To

most important hindrance to- the nm
ward movement Just now is the labor
controversy. which. should Il assume Sc
rious proportions, might easily check tho
present wave of business prosperity and

however is that wiser counsels win me-
