can not be filled so long as A. II. Car
ner is receiver and in possession of
the workings. There is considerabls
doubt whether Venezuela can comply
with the demand. since the receiver
was appointed by the superior court.

The week has been very favorable for
all growing crops and for stacking or
threshing small grain. The we'll dis
tributed showers on the Sth and 9th
were timely and beneficial to corn, pas
lures, late potatoes and other minor
crops. The latter part of the week was
bright and warm, affording:ideal condi-
tions for the growth of corn, which has
made very good progress. This crop on
the average is in a promising condition,
being more heavily cared than usual,
and showing dark green color from
tassels to roots. With normally warm
and frostless September the crop will
be full average. More than the usual
amount Of oats and barley will be stack
ed. Threshing returns of these cereals
indicate fair yield and quality. Spring
wheat is very poor in the greater par
Of the sections where the acreage is
largest. Good progress has been made
in putting up wild hay, which is gener-
ally heavy. Reports show no material
damage to the apple crop. More rain is
needed for all unripened crops and to
facilitate fall blowing.
