st. Joseph, No., July 15.-The long
continued drought has resulted in the
entire ruin of the corn and oats crops
in this section OF the country. Corn
has commenced TO tassel only a few
feet high, and no amount of rain
would now be of any benefit to that
cereal. The fruit and vegetable crops
are also complete failures, and the
pastures have dried up so that the
farmers are paying enormous prices
for hay and feed. Sunday was clear

sight. Unless rain comes this week
wheat, which was an abundant crop,
will have to be substituted for even

New York, Jan. 1.-THE stock market
opened extremely active and feverish. The
confusing situation in the steel trade APP
peared to be one of the main influences
in the trading although the declines made
among the steel Industrial stocks were
less severe than those shown in some
quarters of the railway list. Thus on the
denials of recently current reports st.
Paul declined nearly 8 points, Manhat-
tan two points, and Union Pacific IA
points. All of the railway list showed
the influence of heavy profit taking sales.
The transactions were heaviest in Denver
and Rio Grande Louisville and Nashville,
st. Paul, Ontario and Western, and Ches~
apeake and Ohio. Delaware and Hudson
scored a further material decline on profit
taking, realizing safes. Southern Pacific
was an active and comparatively firm fea-
ture of the market, and Pennsylvania
showed effective support. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit declined. presumably in sympa-
thy with Manhattan. American Tin Plate
was a decided exception to the general
tendency of the Industrial quarter ad-
vancing rapidly on buying presumably
based upon expectations of developments
at tomorrow meeting. National Tube
and Federal Steel, together with Ameri-
can Steel and Wire, were all decidedly
weak. London furnished an Irregular
range of prices for American stocks, and
at the opening of business foreign houses
dealt here on both sides of the account.
It did not appear that the probable gold
shipments at the end of the week entered
into speculative calculations at all. After
the initial severe declines somewhat
steadier tone developed throughout the
market. Total sales to-day, 12SO,722

The English cables were the cause of the

a weak situation in Liverpool, where both
departments had suffered from liquida-
ton. The basis for the heaviness abroad
was large, elf. offerings by nervous spot
holders, and a big crop estimate issued
here Saturday. Liverpool continued weak
to the close, and sold from time to time
here. New Orleans and the South gen.
orally worked on the bull side. Receipts
at the ports and interior towns fell con-
siderabiy short of estimates, with all in
dications pointing to continued light ar
rivals. Demand for desirable grades spot
cotton was reported active for export and
domestic mill uses. Fresh liquidation car
ried prices to the low point of the day at
