FROST INJURIES CROPS.
DiscOuraging Reports Are Received
from Various States in
the West.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Heavy frosts in
f1icted much damage on the ripening
corn crop of the west Tuesday night,
and a continuation Of the unreasonable
weather Wednesday night added to the
total Of the damage, which was al
ready believed to be large. Reports
from the important centers in the
corn belt at midnight showed a va
riety of conditions. Many places had
killing frosts, and great destruction to
the ripening ears of corn was believed
to be inevitable. In others clouds over
cast the sky, rain fell, and south winds
warded off the danger to the farms.
Although Nebraska had been great
sufferer from Tuesday nights freeze,
all conditions changed for the better
Wednesday evening Rain fell over
the greater part of the adjoining ter
ritory, and it was thought the great
est danger was over in that section.
Lincoln, however, showed tempera-
ture of "a degrees and the mercury was
falling. Heavy damage on the low
lands was regarded as certainty and
the total loss was placed at Is per cent
The greater part of the crop needed
ten days at least to mature
That great damage has been done to
corn in Nebraska is apparent from the
reports. Railroad investigations re-
suited in optimistic predictions, the in
dications along the great trunk lines
being that the damage outside of Ne
braska has not been SO great as was
at first reported
In western Minnesota northern
Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Nebraska and Wyoming, Washington
dispatches say, corn is not out OF dan
ger, and losses will be heavy. Kansas
is said to be the only state where the
corn is sufficiently advanced to make
frost harmless.
Experts hesitate to place any esti-
mate Of the total damage, but they
agree that it will be large. The effect
of the freeze on the corn will not be
perceptible for few days, but there
is hope that it will not reach the ap-
parent total

WEATHER AFFECTS TRADE.
Moderate Progress for the Week,
However, Is Reported Despite OPP
position of the Elements.

New York, Sept. 19.-R G. Dun & Co. $
weekly review of trade says: Business
has made moderate progress during the
past week despite unusual opposition
from the elements When all other in
dustries are to a considerable degree de-
pendent upon agricultural conditions, re-
ports of serious injury to crops by cold
and wet weather are not calculated to
stimulate confidence. Subsequent cor
rections Indicated that the amount OF
damage had been exaggerated as usual
and prospects frightened. The car
shortage is beginning to be felt, espe-
cially in the Pittsburg district, where
sufficient labor cannot be secured for
handling freight. Manufacturing plants
are we'll occupied as rule, even the tex
tile mills reporting less idle machinery,
and at Chicago there is notable pressure
for implements and hardware Lumber
is in better demand as structural activity
reVives. Payments are seasonably
prompt except where late crops delay
settlements, and the outlook for fall and
winter business contains much that is
encouraging. Railway earnings thus far
reported for September show an average
gain of 1896 over last year.
Failures this week were 219 in the
United States, against 1919 last year, and
10 in Canada, compared with Is a year
ago."
Bradstreet's says: conditions still
display irregularity, but except where
crop and weather developments have
been distinctively unfavorabIe the ten
dency is still to take favorable view Of
the general outlook for fall and winter
trade. Heavy rains and killing frosts
northwest and in portions Of the west
with drought followed by unseasonably
cool weather and destructive wind and
rain storms along the Atlantic coast have
tended to retard expansion in fall trade
in wide sections of the country. All Sec
tons, however, have not been affected
alike, the northwest returning relatively
the poorest reports as to current dis
tributive trade, while the southwest and
Pacific coast and some sections of the
south give excellent reports of business
already booked or in prospect The out
look for average crops is still good one.
Nothing in the nature of actual short
ages, such as occurred in 1901, is indi-
Gated and while trade opinion probably
inclines to the view that the boom is over
in several industries, none,the less the be-
lief is maintained that a good average
fall and winter trade is in prospect"
