vey of New Orleans to acquire statistics
covering every habitable portion OF the city.

appeals not to scatter into other sections.
and that they were showing themselves
more amenable to the regulations. This is
considered a most hopeful sign.

sHIPBUILDING CoRNERED.
Steamship Companies Find Prices Ad-
vanced and Indifference.

CHICAGO. August 25.-The Tribune to-
day says: half dozen steamer lines, fig
uring on building new passenger steamers
for service next season, have discovered
within a day or two that lake shipbullding
is "cornered."
One line that Is especially anxious for a
new ship has gone the rounds without find
ing a shipbuilder who Is anxious for n con-
tract. A marked advance in prices has re-
suited, and it is likely that several projects
for new boats will have to go over Tor a
year. Lake Michigan lines alone are igur-
ing on five new boats.
Already there is serious delay in the de-
livery of material and this is certain to be-
come worse. Every steel plant in the coun-
try Is far behind in it's orders, and 1t is
said to be impossible to get the boats al
ready under contract out on time even II
the supply of workmen were as large as II
should be.

Warm Weather Following Rains 7
Pushing Things Along.

For the week ending Yesterday,
weather and crop conditions in Mime
sofa are thus summarized by Observer
T. S: Outram in the weather bureau
bulletin:
~ The rains Of last week continued until
the 18th, but they were only light or mod
crate in most places; there were local
rains again in northern portions on the
2lst. The rivers and streams have fallen
somewhat in central and northern por-
lions, and low lying fields have dried up
rapidly with much less injury from stand
ing water than was anticipated. In the
Minnesota bottoms and in the low lands
of southern counties the water is still
high. Cloudy weather continued till the
middle Of the week, but on the 18th, and
after that there was sunny weather which
started the grains nicely and improved
their color. The temperatures were low
early in the week, but on the 10Th, Goth
and 21st, they were higher The growth
of spring and winter wheat, oats and
early barley was retarded by the cool
weather, but since the sun came out all
growth is much more rapid. Corn plant
ing has been started again and is now
nearing completion; potato planting is
also nearly finished. Early corn, potatoes
and flax are coming UP. Glover and tim
othy promise well. Rye is beginning to
head. Plums, apples and small fruits are
blooming profusely.
