HARVEST HANDS NEEDED.

From nearly every section OF
the state reports are received to
the effect that farmers of North
Dakota find that the securing of
help to harvest the ripening crop
will be most serious problem.
Naturally the south and eastern
portion, where the crop natures
somewhat earlier than here are
sections that will the feel demand
for help first and probably exper-
fence the greater Inconvenience.
But all over North Dakota il is adj
mitted that at the present time the
appearances are that the demand
will far exceed the supply. Hay
ing time is now here and the wheat
will be ripe for the harvest in q
very short time, but whore are the
men who are going to help the
farmer out with his great burden
of work? The task of harvesting
the crop this year is going to be
an immense one. The grass crop
was never more luxuriaat and
there is already q demand for help
in having and when a little later
wheat harvesting begins the de-
mand will increase.

CROP CONDITIONS.

Reports show no radical change
in the spring wheat situation dur
ing the wssk. Taking general
conditions for the three states of
Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota, She outlook may
be described as slightly less
favorable than il was a week ago,
Weather conditions have been
conducive to recupsration in the
Red River valley, where there was
damage from excess Of moisture.
In South Dakota and Southern
Minnesota, On the other hand,
there has been much injury by a
hot wave in the last few days and
at some points az estimated loss
of IL per cent is reported. Iowa
has suffered very severely from
drouth and while there is still
some hope Tor corn, the oats crop
will be practically q failure. Re-
ports from the remainder Of the
corn be]s are Encouraging in the
extreme. The yield in Kansas
and Missouri will not be over SO
per cent e. the best, and immed;-
ate rains will be necessary to
prevent even greater loss. It is
now estimated that the total corn
yield of Kaneas will not be more
than 50,ooo:ooo, as against 1885,
100000 last year and 237,000,000
the year before. In the corn
regions Of Illinois and Indiana
conditions are equally disceurag.
ing. The spring wloat states
have reason to congratulate them
selves that conditions are good.

TIE death Of Mrs. Kruger may
mean much or little to the South
African war, according to its effect
upon the distant ex-president; but
it is the death of remarkable
woman, who would have gone all
unremarked had 1t not been for
the troubled fortunes of the little
state beyond the Vaal. One likes
to think that there was time
when these valiant Boer women
were not exceptional in the world,
the time when the Spartan mother
gave stern advice to her son, the
time when the mother OF the
Gracci thought of the state and
her son as of one meaning. But
there are few such women in the
states "blessed" with modern
civilization today. Mrs. Kruger
has been a helpmeet to a man
whom it could not have been easy
always to meet with help. She
has given sixteen SOILS to the re-
public, virtue which is also
somewhat out of style with our
modern civilization. (Look at the
picture of the Reitz children in
this months Bookbuyer, and you
will understand what sixteen sons
may mean to honey She has
passed from the quiet of the veldt
to the tumult of camps as resolute-
ly as though that were her destiny.
She has developed diplomatic
ability, where she was as inner
emily housewifely as was possible.
To him or to her who is virtuous
in fulfilling circumscribed lot
shall be given all the stern virtues
of the calendar when needful.
The South African war was almost
welcome since it has revealed to
the world the existence of such
women as Mrs. Kruger.

The Financier's Statement.

New York, Oct. 12.-The Financier says:
 The statement was again made on riS- ing averages for cash, as has been the case in recent weeks. The sub-treasury paid $419e00 on Friday for Yukon gold, and there were other payments by this office, which materially added to the banks cash at the end of the week. More fer hitherto from the Pacific coast. This will be received early in the current week and there are about $6O0,O00 of maturing bonds which have been accepted by the Secretary of the Treasury, which bonds will arrive by the incoming European steamers It would seem probable. there fore. tat the banks will begin the new week with a supply of cash considerably greater than that shown by the state ment. The payments of municipal taxes last week were about 25,0O000O, and this quidated. The fact that the loan item did not fully reflect this large liquidation would seem to show that the greater part of the money released through payment of the warrants was immediately re- loaned. This would indicate a disposition on the part of the banks to expand loans which they would seem to be justified in doing, considering the comparatively large surplus reserve now being carried 1t is noteworthy that the scale of opera tions of the sub-treasury last week re suited in a loss to the banks of $2, ,O7O. 700 These excess receipts over disbursements will doubtless increase tending ultimately to an important decline of bank reserve. It is unlikely. however, for the reasons above noted that this absorption of sur plus by the treasury will have de- ranging effect upon the bank conditions in the near future.

MARKET FOR FUTURES NEARLY ALL NEWS FACTORS BULLISH IN TONE. South Buys sparingly oh the Near Months-Bull Aggression Routes
 the Shorts at the
 Close.

New York, Oct. 12-The cotton market opened quiet and steady with prices un- changed to two points higher and then turned firm on covering by nervous shorts and support from Wall street houses which carried January to S.o9 The cables from both departments of the Liverpool market were about as expected and receipts continued on about the scale anticipated. But the factor which dis turbed the bears was the weather news This gave heavy rains over extensive portions of the central and western belt, and sharp fall in temperature with frost feared in Oklahoma and Indian territory tonight. Moreover there was little cotton for sale in the local pit and the market seemed pretty free from burdensome long interests. The South bought sparingly in our markets during the session, chiefly near months. Bad crop accounts, state ment in The Chronicle that the yield was turning out less than expected and con- tinued large spot demand for both ex- port and home use helped to strengthen the early market. For Saturday short session business was quite active ana we'll distributed through the trade. In the last hour shorts abandoned all pre- tense of defense and retreated before bull aggression with rush. The close was steady near the top net sos points higher.

ply of exchange and have made this re- payment of foreign loans. especially eff fectiye in sustaining the exchange ana keeping 1t away from the gold import point Moreover, the repayment of these foreign loans has been followed to large extent by reborrowings in this market; that the loan account or the New Iork banks has been maintained in spite of the extensive liquidation in the stock mar ket. These are symptoms of the exten- sive lock up of capital not to be ignored and they bring forward problems of how far the years great financial projects will warrent the sanguine expectations of them during the speculative excitement of last year. The panic in May caused by sassination of President Mckinley upset the calculations of their promoters and their original prosperous efforts to dis tribute the crop of securities which were issued to reimburse the syndicate for their outlay and in their elaborate plans for the recuperation of the market to enable them to renew the process Of dis tribution.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-Scarcity of offerings and fair outside demand for wheat gave an upward turn to markets today, higher, December corn asc down, Decem- Der oats a shade lower and provisions 10 @1Z1sc higher. At the outset the wheat pointing cables. The advance here yester- day had met with no response ana De cember opened A to Ads lower at osa4 10 69Ss@A. Offerings were liberal at the start, but the actual selling was only on a small scale and of nature that indi- cated a desire on the part of buyers to depress the market with view to buying in again. Commission houses began to to buy and report of good demand for the Southwest and New York brought an up-shoot in prices until December sold at 70%. Local traders also helped by considerable buying. but toward the end the market, and December closed steady, shade higher at 70d70b. Local receipts were 150 cars, none of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 7O4 cars making a total for the three points of S54 cars against 947 last week, and 6S6 a year ago. Primary receipts 1,023OOO bush- els, compared with last year 973. 900 bush- els. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour equaled 579000 bushels. Australian shipments for the week were only S0,000 bushels against 3S4 900 bushels last week. Corn lost the greater part of the bullish influence of the official report which ad- vanced prices yesterday on indifferent cables. December opened hGAc lower. Trade was dull at the start and offerings were rather liberal. which tended toward a further decline had it not been arrested by the quick bulge in wheat.
 Corn began to improve at once with the better grain especially May and Decem- Der soon sold at STA. On the small re- actions there was buying for the out side account. and on the hard spot, pro- fessionals sold. There seemed to be con- siderable short interests to cover but the feeling prevailed that the rise in prices was not natural and December sagged rapidly at the end. closing weak. ssc low CT at 5615c. Receipts were 250 cars.
 A range of Lc in December oats indi- cates the dull and narrow nuature of the market Trading was nearly all of the scalping nature with a trifiing response to the action of other grains. December closed a shade down at 35A. Receipts were 1TS cars. Provisions were higher from the start. not so much from any particular demand as from the cessation of the outside liquidation that has been depressing prices for over a week. Hogs were scarce and January pork opened Sc higher at 15 10 to 15.15 selling to 15.30, and closing 1712c higher at 15. 22A.
