Over Production of Pio Iron.

Weather and crop conditions have
been more favorable and the corn crop
has come through the late cold snap
with less than anticipated damage in
sections worst affected, while cotton
this week shows only seasonable de-
terioration.
Frost damage to corn appears to
have been over estimated, particularly
in the Northwest.
The corn crop in Kentucky has been
made, and the tobacco crop is safe. In
Maine the sweet corn pack will be
heavily reduced.
Reports from the cotton crop this
week are less unfavorable. Deteriora-
tion is noted in many places. due to
shedding and rust, but insect damage
is decreasing in Texas, where the crop
as a whole promises to exceed that of
last year.

reconvene the convention, the Parks
faction organized a session, placing

STEEL TRUST IN GERMANY.
To Be Formed Before End of Year to
Control the Export Trade.


London, Sept. 29.-The British con
sui general at Berlin reports that the
formation of German steel trust may
be expected before the end of the
year One of the objects will be to
control the export OF iron and steel,
which has not hitherto been under
taken by most of the existing syndi-
Gates.
l. is proposed to inaugurate a sys-
TEN of settlement between home and
foreign sales and determine the share
of the individual works belonging to
the com mDination.
The consul says that the large in
crease in German iron and steel eX-
ports dming the last two years was
obtained by selling at prices which
frequently left no margin of profit, but
even incurred a loss.
1t is expected that the new syndi-
cate will be able to conduct export
operations under favorable conditions.
The trust will include works belong
ing to the raw iron, rough hardware,
girder and rail syndicates, and will
later take in members of the sheet
iron, tubes, wire and iron bar syndi-
Gates.
Several of these combinations will
terminate this year. They will not
be dissolved but will be merged into
the new trust The raw iron syndi-
case of Westphalia and Upper Silesia
are negotiating for a price convention
and a limitation of their respective
business spheres, and 1t is expected
that these will be successful

with which to pay off some of their
men employed on construction work

mite in the roadway literally tore the
rig to pieces, killed Ferguson outright
and threw Martsl 200 feet, tearing

Gated got away with their booty before
they could he overtaken, although the
county authorities believe that If the
right men are not those under arrest
they will have little difficulty in TAX
ing them.

were in attendance, Chairman Knapp
and Commissioners Yeomans and
Prouty.
The commission denied a motion by
counsel for the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad to strike Mr.
Yalden's compilation from the record
and granted a motion by counsel for
the complainant that the reports of
the respondent railroads on tariffs and
rates filed with the commission and
dated June so, 1908, be considered as
evidence. The complainant's counsel
then announced that his case was
closed and the hearing was suspended
until later in the day.

miss on the ground that Mr. Hearst

An extensive system of targets that
fire with blank cartridges upon firing
line using real cartridges was tested
in Berlin, Germany. The targets
which are shaped like the bodies
and heads of men armed with
rifles, machine guns and artillery, ap-
pear and disappear at the will of the
commanding officer on touching an
electric button. The problem of the
firing line is to make as many hits as
possible on these targets which at the
same time simulate the conditions Of
actual war by keeping up hot blank
cartridge fire upon the practicers.
