problem of how TO handle the soil so as to con-

he said was steadily on the increase. despite the

that there was could be a leak" regarding
crop predictions. He told the committee that he
had invited the New-YOrk Cotton Exchange to
send a man to him and he would appoint him
on the staff OF the bureau so that he might
learn the methods employed. The man was
sent. but the Secretary declared him TO be in
capable of graSping the system. Mr. Wilson n--

the members that he would lock them in the

IRON MERCHANT FAILS FOR $4,000.
California Assignment Due to Overesti-
mated Capacity on Pacific Coast.

San Francisco. Jan 16.-"The Examiner n
nounces to-day the failure OF Seymour R. Church.
the California pig iron merchant The liabilities
are placed at s20O01 The three principal creditors
mentioned Balfour. Guthrie & Co. Girvin &
Eyre and Meyer Wilson & Co, the leading i'm
porters OF pig iron this port The failure is said
to be due the fact that the capacity of the coast
to consume pig iron overestimated. and il is
also said that the three principal creditors had
likewise overeStimated the market. which has in
consequence become gIutted.
To complicate matters. there has been a general
fall in prices all over the country the decline in
the East of late being in the neighborhood, of 50
ton. 1t is understood that Church has contracted
for a number OF shipments of pig iron for this
port which have yet been cleared from Euro
bean and Atlantic seaboard points. which increased
the complication of the firms affairs.
