COUNTING COST OF
THE CHICAGO STRIKE
WILL NOT FALL MUCH SHORT OF
100000 A DAY.
City Officials Figure Up What II is
Paying For Extra Police and
Deputies.

Chicago, May 5.--Just what Chicago
is paying for the teamsters strike was
estimated tonight by the city officials.
For extra policemen the city itself is
paying $4,000 per day. The cost of the
deputy sheriffs is $4,000 per day. The
Employers association is laying out
$4,000 or more each day for detectives
and strike breakers and for their
board and lodging. The strikers ex-
pcnses are $4,000 daily, exclusive Of
lost wages. Add to this the loss of
business to merchants and the grand
total will be little short of 100000 per
day.
Probably on account of the perish
able nature of their goods, the COM
mission men on South Water street
are the heaviest losers. Some say
the loss to that street already ap-
proximates a half million dollars and
should the strike continue much long
er, some firms doing large business
on small capital will face bankruptcy.
These people lose both from inability
to get produce into and out Of the
city. They have so far refrained from
using non-union teams or delivering
from Struck" firms, but today they
decided that they could not lose more
and might better their condition, and
asked the Employers Team associa-
ton for teams Whether this will
cause 800 drivers on the street to
strike remains to be seen.
Hundreds of carloads of perishable
stuff for this market are either stand
ing rotting on the tracks or being sold
out at towns along the route for the
cost of hauling, so that shippers in the
country as well a merchants here are
made to feel the effects of the strike.

Corn Acreage Increased.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-While re-
ports regarding the outlook for the
wheat corp are considerably at var
lance the reports concerning the corn
crop for 1905 are nearly all to the ef-
feet that the outlook is favorable for
large crop. The total estimated acre.
age of corn this year is 94,236,O00 acres,
an increase of 100000 acres over last
year. The condition Of the crop the
opening of the month was 8S.4. The
harvest will, of course, depend upon
growing conditions the remainder OF
the season. Throughout the corn belt
the crop has so far progressed nicely.
The oats crop gives every indication OF
being up to normal, under the slightly
increased acreage. 1t seems safe to
anticipate a yield aggregating in the
neighborhood of 900, 900, 900 bushels, but
this. of course, may have to be mod1-
fled later The rye and barley outlook
is good.
