Everybody in business is now walt. ing for the great corn crop to pass the danger point, which, barring wide. spread and increasingly improbable disaster, it will do in the next two or three weeks, says Banker Clews. Crop reports during the week have, taken altogether, maintained their favorable character, though the governments report on cotton, which is this month issued with proper precautions to in sure its accuracy, confirms other au- thorities that the cotton yield will be considerably below that of last season. Much interest attaches to the August report of the department of agricul- ture on the grain crops. which will ap- pear at noon on Thursday next. Wall street is looking forward to one of the most prosperous years in railroad his tory. The earnings of the great gran ger roads when the crops begin to move will make comparisons with q lean wheat crop year, and these con- parisOns may be expected to present a long series of stimulating influences throughout the autumn and winter. A large crop of corn such as the pres ent promises to be has many ramiti- cations. There is. in the first place, the railroad traffic on the corn itself and the greatly increased traffic of the many products into which this great cereal enters. especially in tine great provision industry. Then comes the enormous traffic incident to the great prosperity throughout the vast corn belt that a bumper harvest at high prices means. Our country is essen- italy an agricultural country; its wealth comes from the ground and the prosperity of the producer quickly spreads 10 the entire fabric.

FORTY PIES A MINUTE.
And Every One the Nice, Sweet Juicy
 Kind.

Pittsburg, Aug. S.-Nice. sweet, juicy pies, the kind that mother used to make. are to be turned out by q Pittsburg man at the rate of forty ev- cry minute, or 2i, GOO every ten hours. The man who is to accomplish this wonderful thing is F. l.. Sons, ba- ker. who has just invented a machine which will work these wonders, and at the same time do away with pie pans and the regulation oven. One machine with such capacity can be handled by three men who will take the places of one hundred men.
 The machine will work on much the same principle as waffle iron and it was from that instrument that MT Sons got his idea. The machine con tains a great endless chain like a waf- tie iron, except that the cups are Ill the shape of round pie. \ man will stand at one end o. the machine ana fill the cups with dough.
 They will pass through a furnace which will partly bake them before reaching the man who will supply the filling. Then third will put the lids" on and the pies will pass through another furnace and come out ready for the table Mir Sons has con- pleted one of the machines and says that it works perfectly. The variety of pies baked at one time is without limit.

More departments than that of ag- riculture are going to find themselves in trouble when congress next meets. says our Washington correspondent
 IF has been settled by one of those in- formal recess pronunciamentps that there are to be no more blanket a1- prOpriatIons made of the various 'le- partments and there is going to be most vigorous pruning where the hedge rows have of late years been allowed to grow wild There was enough dissatisfaction at the last ses- sion with the methods followed in many of the departments. and this has been increased by the disclosure re- gently of venIality in the very spots where it was least suspected. It has already been arranged by some of the congressional leaders that the cam paIgn will be opened when President Roosevelt asks for moneT for the Isthmisn canal An auditing and sc counting will be asked for the s100Doco already appropriated and placed at the disposal of the presi-

 Scheme.
 Chicago, Aug S.-Hundreds of resi- dents of Glencoe cheered and teered Sunday when "scorching" automobil. ists went against the bumps" The bumps" were constructetf by order of the village authorities as the only practical way to keep the automobilists within the speed limit.
 The first of the bumps" was across Sheridan road, and here the crowds gathered and spent the after noon and evening enjoying the result of the jolting on the speeding autoists. Although the Instructions are only a few inches high the effect was plainly apparent. and many automobile caps, goggles and hairpins were gathered up as souvenirs.
 As each automobile approached the bump the crowd cheered. Although severely jolted the autoists took the ieering good naturedly. Many put OH more speed, gasped for breath and hur- ried away. Eleven were trapped and arrested. The speed limit is fifteen miles an hour.
 At Winnetka an electric signal GOV srIng a measured quarter of mile is rigged ID. AS machine passes a policeman signals the man at the other end. He holds stop watch on the machine and if it is violating the speed law the occupants are arrested. Sixteen persons occupying thirteen ears were arrested Sunday.

Japan has notified this government, unofficially. of course, that she will do her utmost to discourage laborers from going to Panama. The same sort of resistance has been met in Italy and China, the other two countries where it was intended to advertise for laborers, and 1t looks now as though this country were going to be thrown back on the native labor sup ply for digging the big ditch between the two oceans.
