FOUR-FIFTHS OF THE WORLDS CORN AND
Cotton AND MUCHT WHEAT.
In this country we raise one-ffth OF the
worlds wheat, four-ffths of the worlds corn,
one-fourth of the worlds oats, and four ffths
of the worlds cotton, says the Commercial West
This harvest Is at the foundation of our pros
perity. True it is that our manufacturing In
dustries nave grown more rapidly In recent
years than the agricultural, but agriculture this
year Will produce commodities to the value Of
81 900 900 600, and foreign customers will pay us
not far from 5000. 900, 900 for agricultural
products shipped to hem over
The abundance of the American harvest Is
of vital interest to the railways and domestic
shipping lines that carry 60, 100000 tons of grain
to inland towns and Eeaboard shipping ports;
to ocean shipping lines that carry half a bil-
lion dollars worth of grain and cotton to
foreign lands; to bankers, who are" called upon
for many millions of dollars to move crops; to
the cotton spinners of the English midlands, who
buy quarter of our enormous cotton crop, pay
ing for it nearly $3.50 900, 900; to the makers
Of agricultural implements, whose annual out
put is valued at 500, 000 900; to Englands forty

leaders In America and in Europe whose policies
are shaped by the ebb and flow of agricultural
prosperity.
The west. with its billion-dolla corn crops,
and its half-billlion dollar wheat crops, and Its
quarter billion dollar oats crops has been the
country's bulwark In the storms Of inflated
finance. To form an adequate conception of the
magnitude of the crops must turn to the
figures. The volume, in bushels, Of the six

San Francisco, Aug. 27.-Jeffries and I
Munroe played to a $4,000 house last J
night. 1t was g. large and representative
crowd that greeted the heavywaights. I
When the men entered the ring at 8
O'Clock, the betting was even that JEFF
fries would win in ten rounds, and 10 to
8 that Jeffries would achieve victory.
Jetfries weighed 225s pounds, and Mum
roe tipped the beam at 80. Both men
reported at the pavilion shortly after 8
o'clock, and rested until called to the ring.
Both MEN looked trained to the hour.
Jeffries retained his championship laur-
els by knocking out Munroe in the sec
ond round. The miner made a miserable
showing, and when the sports left the
building they were convinced that he is
no better than a second-rater. Munroe
did not land a blow in the first round.
Jeffries dropped his man three times in
the first round, and the bell saved the
miner from knockout. He was PRACTICAL
ly beaten when he returned to his corner.
Munroe recuperated wonderfully, and
came up fresh for the second round JEFF
fries however, was relentless In his att
tack, and before Munroe had fairly ass
sumed his fighting attitude Jeffries plant
ed a fearful left swing to the mouth which
staggered the miner. The champion then

PLENTY OF MONEY
TO MOVE CROPS
National Banks Generally in Bet.
ter Condition to Meet the De-
nand Than Last Year.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The follow
ing statement today was issued by the
controller of the. currency:
For the purpose of ascertaining the
ability of the national banks to meet
the demands incident to the annual
movement Of the crops, the controller
of the currency under date of Aug. 4,
1904, sent to the national banks out
side Of New England and New York
city a letter containing the following
questions:
First-Will the demand for your section
be greater or less this year than last, and
will it come any earlier or any later?
Second-Are the banks in your section
better prepared to meet the demand on
them from their own resources than in
the past year or two?
Third-Will the, money required by the
banks in your district, come mainly from
their repositories in the reserve and CEN
trail reserve cities, or will they be large
borrowers?
Fourth-Will there be any increase or
decrease in the amount your banks will
have to borrow?
The result Of this inquiry may be
summarized as follows: The demand
on the banks will be about the same
as last year, and at about the same
time, with the exception of those in
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Ohio,
Minnesota and wisconsin, where it
will be greater and from two to three
weeks earlier, and in Indiana and
| Missouri, where it will be less and a
little later The banks are generally
as we'll and in most cases better pre-
pared than they have been in the past
! year or two to meet the demands
made on them. The banks in the fol-
lowing states are better prepared:
Arizona, Delaware, idaho, Illinois, In
diana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland,
Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New
Mexico, New York, New Jersey, Ne
braska, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania
South Dakota, Texas, Tennessee
Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wyo-
ming, Washington.
The banks of Alabama, Arkansas
Florida, Georgia, Indian territory
Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri and Okla
homa are not as well prepared.
While the banks will depend mainly
upon their deposits with reserve
agents to supply funds for moving the
crops, the amount of money to be Dor
rowed will be about the same as last
year There will, however, be some
| increases in the amount borrowed by
the banks in Alabama, Arkansas
Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Indian ter
ritory, Louisiana, Missouri, New

Argentina is fairly flooding the British mar
