GENERAL CROP REPORT.

Oats Rusted.

proving-Rains Help Spring Wheat
Oats Rusted.
Washington, d. c., Aug 4.-The
weather bureaus weekly summary of
crop conditions is as follows:
Turnout the northern portions of the
country from New England to the
North Pacific coast the temperature
was too low for best results, light
frosts occurring in North Dakota but in
the southern states it was more fa-
yorable. Portions of the south Atlantic
and east gulf states and central and
lower Mississippi valleys need rain but
elsewhere east of the Rocky Mountains
rains have been ample being excessive
ly heavy in eastern portions of Ne
braska and Kansas ard over areas iE
the Ohio valley and east gulf states
1t is now very dry in central and
southern Rocky Mountain districts.
Corn is greatly improved, especially
in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and por-
the least favorable reports being re-
ceived from Missouri and the Ohio val
ley states. The crop continues late.
Threshing of winter wheat has con
tinued under favorable conditions, the
harvesting having been finished ex-
cept in portions of New York and
Michigan and on the Pacific coast with
disappointing yields.
General rains in the spring wheat
region of upper Missouri and Red River
of the North valleys has checked tn"
ripening of spring wheat and caused
a better filling of heads. Harvesting
is in progress. some fields being cut
in the northern portion but was de-
layed by rains in South Dakota and
Nebraska.
Rust in oats Is quite extensively re-
ported in Iowa, Minnesota. Wisconsin
and portions Of Pennsylvania, but
late rains have benefited crops in
Minnesota. Harvesting is we'll adj
yanced in the more northerly sections,
being largely completed elsewhere with
yields generally lighter than antici-
pated.

SHORT OF CARS ALREADY.
Eastern Roads Behind on Their Orders
for Cars Before Rush Begins.

Chicago, Aug. Notwithstanding
the fact that east-bound shipments
from Chicago by the all rail lines con-
tinues to be unusually Light, and gem
eral business is no heavier than it has
been during the last few months, a
number Of roads are beginning to COM
plain of steady reduction in the sup
ply OF available cars, and some of the
largest systems claim 20 be nearly a
WI eek behind their orders. Inasmuch
as the larger systems have made large
additions to their rolling stock during
the last six months, and repaired many
OF their old cars. 1t looks strange that
the eastern roads should be short of
cars before the busy season has fairly
set in. If conditions are as represented
u most serious car fannie is threatened
later on.

warded to the company showing his
appointment and that certain amount
of the food has been turned over to
him. Later on the receipt turns up
in different shape and his genuine
signature is attached to an iron clad
contract in which he agrees to do thus
and so. Efforts to fight the cases on
the ground of fraud always result in
the company winning out and the
plaintiff in the actions credlting up the
amount of his investment to the "eX-
perience" account. a similar scheme
has been worked northwest of here

Trust Busting Expensive.

Attorney General Knox has expended
only $4,000 Of the 100000 special fund
TO be used for the prosecution of the
trusts which violate the laws. More
than half of this amount was expended
III the Northern Securities case. Da-
vid T. Watson. of Pittsburg, was sent
recently warrant for $4,000 as his
fee in the case. In view of his legal
standing the charge for his services
was regarded as unusually reasonable.
Another fee of $1,000 was paid the
special assistant of the attorney gen.
eral. 1t is not expected that the North
ern Securities case will cost anything
additional. The hearing before the
United States supreme court probably
will be brief.
There is much activity in the depart
ment of justice, where a number OF
anti trust cases are being prepared.
The officials will give no information
las to the nature OF the work being done,
but it is understood that the anthracite
coal combination soon will be brought
into court.
The coal carrying railroads and the
coal companies organized by those who
control the roads comprise this COM
bination. The officials are almost unan-
imous in the opinion that a good case
can be made against these dual con-
Germs under the new anti-trust legisla-
ton.
Watered Stock a Swindle.
An application for the appointment
of a receiver for the Universal Tobacco
Company, which WAS filed in Trenton
on July 10, came up before Vice Chan
cellor Pitney yesterday in Jersey City.
The complainants also ask an injunc-
ton restraining the company from is
suing bonds to the value of S1,00O,000.
Gilbert Collins, counsel for the COM
plainants. read the bill of complaint,
which charges that William H. Butler,
president OF the defendant company,
manipulated its business to his own in
terest and thereby involved 1t in finan-
cial difficulties. one of the allegations
was that the company had been organ
lied with S1,000,000 worth of stock.
which sold for from rs to 35 cents a
share. The remarks by Collins We're
interrupted by Vice Chancellor Pitney,
who said:
Il wish to express right here my jul
dicial distrust of such practices. There
is no honesty in stock issues OF $1,000
600 on a % or 80 per cent basis and
the forcing out of holders of common
stock to the preferment of those holds
ing preferred stock. That sort of prac-
tee is a fraud on the people who in
vest their money and 1t Is thievery to
do it"

NEBRASKA RICH in CATTLE.
Figures Show Immense Wealth in Its
Live Stock Interests.

llvC 0IOCk tuSCtSSSSs
Lincoln, Neb.. Aug. 4.-Labor Com
missioner Bush has issued a. report
showing the number of cattle, hogs and
horses In the state, together with some
other interesting statistics that go to
prove what Nebraska is accomplishing
In the line of material richness. There
are 2,161.773 cattle rather unevenly dis
tributed among the counties or the
state. Hogs follow cattle in the grand
totals. the number for the state being
d, 4S2,264, while horses and mules come
third with 539,917. The position Of Ne
braska as a sheep raising state is
shown by the comparison of the num-
Der of sheep in the state, 21S,7l1, with
the total for hogs and cattle. The
wealth represented by the domestic cat
tie, hogs, sheep and horses amounts up
into hundreds of millions.
While Neraska is great corn state.
the great excess of cattle over hogs
would indicate that the grazing indus
try is still greater. since there are
] ASP, 264 hogs, as compared with 2.161,-
773 cattle. AS to hogs, Custer county
again leads off with the largest num-
Der, having 42,54S head, while Cumming
county, one of the eldest counties,
comes a close second. having 41,915
hogs. Richardson county is third with
3s,774, while Platte county has 1884
hogs. little and big.
+ Kimball county boasts of the largest
number of sheep. having 27,365 out OF
a total of 21s.711 for the entire state.
This is one eighth of the total number.
Platte county Is again a ribbon winner
as the second in the list with 2O,27o, fol-
lowed by Perkins with 26,217.
The total number Of horses and
mules in the state is 539,s17. OF this
valuable species of property the largest
share is again claimed hv Custer coun-
ty, with 1859 head. Caster seems to
be in class by itself. since the next
highest county is Gage with only r.
S3S. while Saunders claims 11,424.
