Coal Operators Declare They Will
Never Listen to Any Plan
for Arbitration.

New York, Aug. 27.-No new plans
for arbitrating the coal strike, no
matter by whom they are inspired,
will be considered by the operators,
and no influence that President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Work

change their position one iota. Such
was the conclusion reached late Tues
day by the presidents of the anthra-

ference. 1t was also stated officially
that J. Pierpont Morgan will not
take any hand in the dispute. Presi-

Statistics of foreign commerce show
that 20 years ago manufacturers ma
terials constituted scarcely one-third
of our foreign imports, whereas they
now constitute nearly one-half of the
total, while other imports show prac-
tically no increase. In 1881 we i'm
ported materials for use in manufac-
turing to the amount of $217.57 ,551,
whereas in the year ended June 80,
1902 we imported $41S,776,6S1 worth.
The figures furnish proof from a new
point of view of the extraordinary
growth of the manufactures in our
country.

POOR WEEK FOR FARMERS.
Al Whole, Weather East of Rocky
Mountains Is Too Cool for
Growing Crops.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Following is
the agricultural departments weekly
summary of crop conditions:
AS whole, the weather conditions east
of the Rocky mountains have not been
favorable, being too cool in the northern
districts eastward Of the Missouri valley
with too much moisture in portions of the
central valleys, while excessively not in the
southern states, with drought OF greater
or less severity generally throughout the
cotton belt Although cool, the conditions
were fairly favorable for maturing crops
in the Ohio valley and over the southern
portion of the middle Atlantic states, as
we'll as on the Pacific coast.
Corn is greatly in need of warm, dry
weather throughout the northern portion
of the corn belt, where the abnormally cool
weather of the past two weeks has greatly
retarded its maturity. Over the southern
portion of the corn belt an excellent crop
of early corn is now practically assured
In portions of Iowa and central illinois
corn has badly lodged as result OF local
storms.
Spring wheat harvest is unfinished in the
northern portion of the Red River valley,
where it has been interrupted by frequent
showers. which have also seriously inter-
fered with stacking and threshing. Sprout-
ing and rotting in stack and shock are re-
ported from Iowa and in southern Mime
sofa threshed wheat is damp and discol-
ored. Harvest is about three-fourths fin
ished in Oregon and will be completed in
Washington during the present week. with
yields about the average, though less than
expected in WASHINGTON.
The outlook for apples in New York is
more favorable, and slightly improved
prospects are reported from Ohio and north
ern illinois. good crop is Indicated in
Kansas, Michigan and New England and
fair crop of some varieties in Iowa and
portions of Missouri. In many important
apple states, however, a light crop is prom

The drought from which Australia
has been suffering so severely, not
withstanding that it is now the winter
season in that continent, has caused
enormous losses to sheep and cattle
owners. But the most telling loss falls
upon the whole commonwealth, as this
bad news serves to discourage immi-

without which Australia never can
attain the greatness that her sons af-

The official figures showing the val

have been made public. The total was
$4O3, 800, 1903 for 1902, against $412 1885,
O66 for 1901. This is a very small re-
duction, all things considered. And
the principal falling off is in manufac-
lures of iron and steel, which, as has
been shown, is due to the demand at
home which our producers are called
uDOn to meet.
