FRUIT LOSS is 100000.
Kansas Will Have About Per Cent
of Apple Crop.


Topeka, Kan. Aug. 13.-According
to statement of Walter Wellhouse,
secretary of the state board of horti-
culture. Kansas will have about 4 per
cent of a full crop of apples. which
shows that the first reports were, II
anything underestimated
1t supports the predictions that the
early warm weather and subsequent
frosts and freezes will mean a loss Of
100000 in the Kansas fruit crop.
Peaches, pears, cherries. and plums are
practically a total failure. Grapes and
berries have Jared better. In his re-
port Mr. Wellhouse says:
Apple trees were in full bloom on
April 6. fully two weeks before the
average time of putting forth blossoms.
On the nights of April 3. II. 10, IA, II,
and May ice formed from one eighth
to one-half an inch each night on still
water. Two inches of snow fell on May

could survive after such inclement
weather The apple worm has few
places to sup or lay his head this year:
his progeny will probably be few next
season. for which the fruit growers will

LEMON FOR A WASHER.
How . Virginia Woman squeched a
EIirt on Shipboard.

Passengers on the Carmania, which
recently arrived at New York from
Liverpool took great delight In telling
about the impressive manner in which
the "lemon,' treatment had been ad-
ministered to an English chappie who
had made himself extremely obnox-
ious to most Of the good looking VIC
men on board, says the New York
World. The presentation took place
on the main deck few afternoons
ago.
The fact that woman happened to
be with her husband made no differ
ence to the British masler. He sim
ply threw the persuasion power of his
chances on to the last notch. 1t was
no wonder that on the second day
out several angry husbands assembled
in the cafe and held a council of war.
Leave him to me- said Mrs. FL. O.
Jackson. the wife of a prominent in
.veptor of Norfolk, Va, when she
heard of the husbands meeting, "Ill

hurry
Unaware of the manner in which
sentiment against him was crystalliz-
ing. the self satisfied tourist stuck
valantly to his task of winning
smiles Every time lie appeared on
deck he was draped in sartorial SEN
sation. his taste in hosiery running to

the folks the other morning They
Mrs. jackson and a woman friend do
ing little road work. When the
masher made his appearance Mrs.
Jackson tossed him shy little glance.
That settled it. He fell in behind,
and to his great satisfaction the wo-
men seemed to be greatly excited over
his attentions.
Mrs. jackson waited until they
reached point where the interested
spectators could see them. Then she
turned and held her hand toward him
in friendly manner. He reached for
it and when he drew back his palm
clutched-an overgrown lemon!
The laughter that followed rocked
the boat. The men hooted and the
men shouted. "AlalSe mine lemonade,

In utter confusion, stumbled to his
room and remained there until long
after the other passengers disem-
barked.

OH a beach in the park along the shore,
where a loving couple were seated.
There, under the glaring light, which
even at that distance was almost as
bright as day, officers and men saw
a young man and girl in fond embrace.

quickly all three of the lights We're
turned on the benches, and each show
ed similar scene Of romantic court

Then there was scampering to get
away from the light, but the trained
sailors kept the rays on the boys and

hind the buildings near by.

came popular on the ship and the men

was announced that the Louisiana had

s,tockers and Feeders.

Lower prices in fat steer trade fail
to effect bearish influence in this
line. Supplies are not of volume suf-
hcient to afford buyers getting their
purchases at a lower range. Trade for
all medium to good classes has fairly
active tone. but there is not much
call for light and plain grades. and
there ware hard to move. However,
sellers did not call them particularly
lower than last week. Dealers We're.
as usual. chief buyers, altho Country
lockers got few lots. Quality of
offerings was rather disappointment
to ward dealers. They found few lots
which were really good grades. and
these they took readily paying s4.65 a

bring $500.

Light Receipts Today With Only

Of Quality
HOGS ADVANCE FIVE CENTS
Despite Receipts in Excess of Expec-

Grades at Advance = Top Price
$657I:-Sheep Market Again Strong
Regardless of Heavy Receipts.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-With light re-
cepts the cattle market was barely
steady. with fair demand for best
quality.
Last weeks cattle slump proved con-
clusively that the demand for beef is
not as strong as usual 1t was about
up to the average for August, but Au-
gust is a. hot month, and the consump-
ton of beef is not as great as In most
other months. Traders here are Of the
opinion that the general outlet for cat
tie villa be limited for the next thirty
days at least Last year about 100000
range cattle were received during the
season, and as it Is believed the sup
ply will be larger than that this year,
receipts from that source are likely TO
be unusually heavy between now and
November.
Hogs.
Receipts were 1000 in excess of early
estimates, but with fair quality the
market was active, closing strong to &C
higher top being s6.6712.
Pit reports were to the effect that
consumption of lard and meats is in
creasing and the cash demand broaden
ing dail:-. The volume of business
transacted recently, except in the way
of changing of contracts from Septem-
Der to October is limited, however. A
light hog movement would undoubted !
ly prompt the big packers to display
frendliness and put prices up. For
the present the strike is expected to

of lard are heavier than last year, but
there has been a contraction in for
eign meat trade.
The average weight of hogs last
week was 249 pounds. the heaviest OF
the yea. During the corresponding
week of 1906 1t was 234 pounds, the
difference indicating scarcity Of light
stuff and free marketing OF packing
sows. The average of the previous
week was 234 pounds.
Sheep.
The sheep market was again strong
the demand for feeders and breeders
being broad. Receipts were $4,000.
The feature of the sheep trade is the
continued scarcity of feeders. Eastern
feeder buyers are somewhat alarmed
over the prospect of not being able to
fill up. A year ago they were buying
lambs at S6.15@6.S5, and sheep at $4.70
@4S5 The best Idaho lambs then
made s7s5.
A few southern lambs are expected
this week, but this will practically
wind up the season and leave the
market to the westerner, whose con-
tributions at present are under popular
expectations.

Moro Brides Than Cottages In Panams

More Brides Than Cottages In Panama.
According to Edwin H. Weeks and
his wife, who arrived at New York
recently from Colon, Panama, by the
steamer Colon and who have been on
the isthmus of Panama entertaining
the canal employees, the government
has promised to every man who brings
a bride to the canal zone or marries
there detached cottage, says the New
York Sun. The result has been, Mr..
Weeks says. that there has been II
boom in cottage building and marry
ing. The brides and bridegrooms are
ahead of the cottages by several laps,
but the government builders are hus-

Than a Cent Above the
Figures Of Yesterday
CORN A FRACTION LOWER
Prices FIuctuate at the opening and
Are Weak at the End of Trading
Oats Show Slight Advance-.Provis-

News.

Chicago, Aug 1a-With the wire sit
uation somewhat relieved by the
agreements with commission house
operators to continue at work trading
in wheat showed a little more activity
today, and better inclination on the
part of traders to take hold of the
market. As a result prices for all live
options advanced the gain being better
than cent over yesterdays close.
Corn.
Corn failed to follow the lead of
wheat several factors contributing to
make an unsteady market, with prices
at the close a fraction lower than yes
terday.
The futures were active early, and
ruled strong for awhile on the strength
at Liverpool. The market turned quite
weak on the closing of big line for
Wall street account, but many resting
buying orders were reported and shorts
covered on the big decrease in the
visible supply. From Nebraska came
news of high temperature and no rains
and damage to the crops there. Con-
tinued news of this character Is bound
to send prices upward.
Oats.
A better market in oats developed.
altho offerings exceeded the bids and
the high mark of "A IA for September
was not maintained The close was
fraction above that of yesterday.
Threshing returns are generally poor
and the market displayed strong
tone to make the short side uneasy.
Provisions.
Provisions were steady, with the
market inactive
There was a somewhat better de-
mand for cash stuff near the close.
Packers and shippers were purchasers
of lard, and ribs, but the January
product worked off with corn.
