at $3.50 o'clock this morning in a ma
val engagement in the harbor of Pan
anna. The battle was fought etween
the government vessels Lautero n

Washington, Jan. 2O.-Only meager
details of the fighting between the
vessels of the Colombian government
and those of the insurgents in Pan
anna bay were received in official cir
cles yesterday. They consisted of a
dispatch from Consul-General Gudger
at Panama and another from Capt.
Mead, the commander of the cruiser
Philadelphia, which is lying in Pan
anna bay. The dispatches were as
follows:
Colon, Colombia, Jan. 20.-A naval
battle which began at six O'Clock

Getting Too Strong.

The editor of the Finley Beacon
administers this undoubtedly well
deserved rebuke to the big city papers:
The big city papers are everlasting
ly poking fun at the personal men
tons made in country journalism, but
after all the country papers never
had the immodesty of the long tongue
gossip as it developed in the big city
papers, only instead of their person
ais being given to all alike they toady
to the rich and influential. They
poke their noses into the inmost
secrets of the household and spare
not the delicate events to be, around
which there should be a sacredness
not to be mentioned in print, even
though the subject be rich and infu-
entail. The latest is that "a tiny
stranger is expected to arrive at the
White House in October" Just
think if country editor should put
in print all the little strangers that
are to arrive between now and Octo-
Der, what buzzing there would be
about his ears.

IN THE BUCKET SHOP.
Edwards Wood & Co.'S Weekly Re-
port Wheat Takes a Drop.

July 17th-The tendency of wheat
has been downward for this week
and it closed today about II cents
lower than on Saturday. Lower
cables, generally favorable weather,
and a collapse of the corner in July
corn have been the chief influences.
The storm on Saturday destroyed
about 10000 acres of crops in western
Minnesota and eastern S. Dakota,
and the severe storm of Tuesday did
much damage in the Red River
valley. The storms, although locally
disastrous, had no apparent effect on
the market.
There has been considerable bearish
sentiment this week, and some
liquidation of lines of long wheat
and much short selling. The decline
brought about a large business for
export, 80 boat-loads having been
worked on Tuesday. Crop advices
from abroad are now very favorable,
but supplies are very low, the lowest
since 1897, and on every decline. in
cur market foreigners become good
buyers,
The late decline has checked &C
ceptances of bids by the country,
farmers preferripg to sell corn and
oats at prevailing prices. Primary
receipts so far this week are 3,438,00O
hu. From Monday morning until
the close on Tuesday, July corn de-
creased 2Oa5 cents per bushel, and it
was hoped that the cornet was ended.
The actual condition of the market
today throws doubt upon that sub
ject, and it may turn out that the
bull crowd is still in control. There
is good deal of bullish talk on oats
which advanced to So cents and
closed at 81 for July. There is
promise of a very large crop, but
good deal of lodging is reported.
Wheat is much the chea pest cereal,
andsit is certain that this years crop
will be much smaller than last years.
and we think that around present
prices, it is good Investment.

LAST WEEKS WEATHER.
Plenty of Rain and a Splendid Crop
Outlook.

The temperatures were somewhat
higher in the latter part of the week
then they we're in the early and
middle parts. There were light to
moderate showers in central western
portions during the "a hours ending
on the morning of the 9Th; in the
southern two-thirds of the state on
the 9Th; in the South and Southwest
on the evening of the 18th, and in
eastern central portions on the even
ing of the 18th. The weather during
the week has been very favorable for
all the crops, and farm work, except
that. in small portions of the South
and Southeast the rains have been
too frequent for haying, rye cutting
and cultivating corn. Spring wheat,
oats, barley and fax are generally in
splendid condition, though in the
parts of the Red River valley which
we're flooded in the spring, the wheat
is about two weeks later than usual;
in southern counties there are scat
tered reports of rust in wheat and
oats, and on rich soils wheat, oats
and some rye are lodged in small
areas. Wheat and oats are heading
in the extreme North; rye and winter
wheat are being harvested, or they
are ready to harvest, and early barley
cutting is begun in central and |
southern portions. Flax IS in all |
stages of growth, the earliest sown |
beginning to turn color in places.
Corn is still rather small, but the |
favorable weather is making it grow
rapidly. The potato crop is good |
one, and early potatoes are being
marketed. A great deal of clover and
timothy hay has been secured in the
southern half Of the state, and wild
hay is being cut. The rains have
spoiled considerable hay in parts of
the Southeast, The destructive winds
on the 9Th lessened the apple crop
materially in southern counties.
