MISSOURI IS :.
OFF II POINTS
WINTER WHEAT CONDITION LOW
Err AND ACREAGE LESS.
Dry Weather Shows General Effect
but Instances of Severe Damage
Are Rare-The Plant Growth a
Little Backward for This Date.
Spscial to The journal.

jefferson City, Mo-, Dec. 9.-The first
report Of the Missouri State Agricultural
society made public this morning shows A
decrease of about per cent in the acre
age seeded 10 winter wheat The state
has 2,645, 600 acres compared with 1882.
900 acres estimated by the same authority
on Dec. l last year, a loss Of $4,000 acres.
The condition of the growing plant is
placed at IS against a condition of SO a
year ago. Dry weather is noted in many
districts. and In some places lack of suffi-
cient moisture has injured the plant. The
report shows general lowering of condi-
ton over the entire state, rather than any
severe injury, extremely poor stands be-
ing shown in only a few scattered locali-
ties. The growth is backward and the
plant less forward than usual at this date.
The yield of corn on the last crop is
given at 2O4, 0OO.0 900 bu. against 264, 900, 000
blu in the previous season.

STOCK MARKET TOPICS
HEAVY SHORT INTEREST IN PENNsYLVA
... MIA MAY SUFFER.

The Waldorf Hotel gossiper says: The ques-
ton whether the bull party will be able to force
the bulk Of the short interest in Pennsylvania
to cover continues to be discussed with avidity.
Close observers agree that this is of the
few stocks in which there has not been a
heavy liquidation of short accounts: Yet, dur
ing the day.. according to these authorities, the
was enormous. The stock has been sold by bear
operators scale upon the company's large
suggest the theory that the capital borrowed had
been irretrievably lost. Yet the Pennsylvania
company is lending it at excellent rate of
interest, its earnings continue far larger than
any other SYSTEMS and it still pays per cent.
S,:TcId spectators say it viii be most surprising,
therefore, if the great short interest In the
shares is not forced to cover before the bull
movement eliminates. -. q

Christian Church Work.

The official Board of the Christian
church in it's last regular meeting
at the church transacted mat
ters of much Importance to the
membership, looking forward to its
future development.
A committee was selected to draft
resolutions for further consideration
by the Board for the regular election
of Elders. Deacons, Trustees and Off
GERS of the church, by the congrega-
tion for a certain specified time-two
years or more, as the case may be
to make the officials as active as pos
sible. Heretofore they have been
selected indefinitely and they desire
to use more active methods.
1t is very probable that the Chris.
tain church and Sunday school will
again take their annual week day
outing and basket picnic at Dayton
and the Soldiers Home inviting the
public as before on the one dollar ex
cursion, along about the latter part
of June as usual when nature is al
her best in this beautiful spot. The
church believes that it is better tC
endorse and all join for success il
the annual week day excursion eaci
season, believing that those who g
will not care SO much for the numer
GUS SUNDAY excursions.
