LOOK FOR CORN DEMAND.
New York Exporters Already Getting
Many Inquiries.

New York, Aug. 15.-The exporters
Of corn are receiving inquiries which
indicate that there will be an excep.
tionally heavy demand for the cereal
fer export during the coming season.
The news is exceedingly welcome to
the farmers who have large crops ana
are prepared to meet the foreign de-
mands. The crop of 1908 was large.
amounting to 2,244.176,925 bushels,
and that of two years ago was also
large. amounting to 2.523.64s.213 bush
els. so that there are nc shortages in
the domestic supply to make up, while
the present crop is estimated by Stat
istician Brown of the New York Pro-
duce exchange at $500, ,000, 900 bushels
The grain is also reported to be In
excellent condition and II is expected
to be in good shape for expert. To-
gether with the large available supply
for export. the country has the good
fortune 10 possess this stock when
the other large markets will be in
great need OF supplies by reason of
crop shortages in other countries,
Roumania ordinarily exports 35.000,-
09o bushels of corn n year. but the
crops are so light in that country this
season that a ukaso has been issued
forbidding the expectation of corn
this year. The outlool: in italy and
Bulgaria Is also bad. and Germany is
in need of so much corn that the gov.
ernment is considering reduction of
tho import duty.
The ocean freight rates for corn
are exceedingly low. end both tho ex.
porters and shipping interests are ex-
pecting record breaking export

RUSSIAN CRUISER RURIk' SENT

Two Of the Russian War Vessels Es.
cape to Northward, Badly Crippled.
Japan's Naval Waiting Game Final
l Iy Rewarded With Success.
Toxic. Aug. 15.-Flags are flying.
3banzat' are ringing in the streets
of Toxic in honor Of the victories
xained at sea by Admiral Togo and
Nice Admiral Kamimura. Underneath
the joll:fcation Of the populace lies a
feeling Of deep satisfaction and graft
cation at the disposal Of desperately
serious problem of the war.
The Russian squadron which con.
fronted Admiral Togo refused battle.
1t was stronger than Admiral Togo's
squadron in battlesnips and armored
result might have altered the fortunes
OF war. The strength of the squadron
which opposed Admiral Togo COM
PEELED him to draw vessels from the
squadron under Vice Admiral Kami-
mura, and this left the japanese navy
powerless to operate against the Rus
sian Vladivostok squadron and unable
to prevent the raids Of these vessels.
The raid conducted by the Vladivo-
stok squadron in July was extremely
expensive to Japan, and not only WAS
retaliation tempting. but 1t was dc.
manded by commercial interests.
The navy. however. grimly refused
to make diversion and stuck to Port
Arthur. 1t was confident that the
harbor soon would be untenable for
the Russian warships, that it would
eventually get a fair fight in the open
sea, away from the Russian land bat.
teries. and that the japanese would
win. Tke calculations Of the navy
were correct, and the Russians, with
the chances even, have been hope.
lessly defeated.
Vice Admiral Kamimura, after
months of weary and patient waiting.
finally got his chance at dawn yester-
day off Tsu island in the strait of
Korea. The battle lasted FIVE hours
and resulted in complete japanese
victory. He sunk the Russian cruiser
Rurik and sent the cruisers Gromoboi
and Rossia fleeing back from the
fight. badly damaged. The injuries In
fiicted on the Japanese vessels were
slight.
Japanese guns dominate the dock
yards at Port Arthur AM in view OF
this fact It would seem to be impossi-
ble again to make seaworthy or fight
Fable the Russian hattleships which
have returned to Port Arthur. II is
probable that the Russian battleship
Czarevitch will disarm at Tsingchau
The best possible naval force that
Russia can now concentrate at Vlad-
ivostck Is four cruisers.
