Jege Taxed wind of Calamity
Ho4sler's sails.

About two weeks ago one I. s. Trow-
bridge of Tabor, Ia, appeared in Omaha
and invited himself TO lecture before the
Omaha Grain exchange on subject Of
n corn root disease which he said was
prevalent. He proved to be a calamity
howler on the subject of crops He deliv-
cred a harangue on the floor OF the ex-
change, telling the members that he had
travelled over Iowa and Nebraska exam
ming the corn and had found 1t so badly
damaged by root disease that the crop
would be an exceedingly short one.
After carefully writing for the local
papers an interview of the alarming ma
ture sometimes given out by shrewd man
ipulators when they wish to bull the mar
ket he did some trading In local grain Of
fees. The papers did not print his inter-
view and the grain men smiled in secret
at his lecture. The market did not go to
suit him and his trading operations were
of short duration.
Secretary Mcvann of the Omaha Grain
exchange sent one of Mr.. Trowbridges
circulars to Prof. p. G. Holden. superin-
tendent of the department of agriculture
extension at the State Agricultural col
lege at Ames, Ia, submitting to him also
used in his lecture. Following is Mr.. Hol-

Your letter of I'd with Trowbridge cir
cular enclosed was handed me by my sec
retary on my way to Orange City In

the corn crop is indicated by the cir
cular. Mr.. Trowbridge is either misin
formed or wishes to deceive The condi-
ton of the roots he refers to is caused by
the corn root worm" It is present every

or more years in corn consecutively. 1t

IN saying that the loss will probably not
be greater this year than the average.
/ am out all the time studying agricultural
conditions. Friday and Saturday l was
in Mr.. Trowbridge's section of the state

crop there is good and the worm is doing
less damage than usual.
The corn crop will be rather light through
the corn belt owing to the cold spring
which reduced the stand and made the crop
late.
You need have no concern regarding any
wholesale disaster other than an early

SECURITIES ON DOWN GRADE

the opening of the New York stock market
today was attended with unusual interest.
The decline in consols Is generally at
tributed to disturbed conditions in the
money market abroad, but II is not so
easy to assign a cause for the crumbllng
away OF prices of securities in the Ameri-
can market.
The sharp decline in quotations yesterday
was without explanation further than 1t
was due to heavy selling by holders OF
railroad and other shares, who did not caro-
to retain their securities at this time. There
was nothing to show whether their desire
to sell was because they were tired Of
waiting for an upward movement of prices
because of the low supplies OF money, or
because of depressed sentiment in Wall
street over the difficulties in which many
corporations find themselves with the ma
tional and state governments.
First transactions showed large sales at
lower prices. Union Pacific was 1b lower
than last night on sales Of $500 shares and
Northern Pacific was 2it lower. Other
shares sold at from l to IN below yester-
days final quotations
The market was generally in a nervous
state, but the trading was not attended
with any unusual excitement Today's de-
clines were attributed to sales by specu-
lators who desire lower prices and to hold
ers who did not have the funds to protect
their brokers against further losses. The
so-called Standard OIL and Frick groups of
stocks were the centers of Iattack includ-

The spectators for the decline used as
their principal fresh ammunition the re-
ports from Washington of the intention of
the Department of Justice to push Grim

porations. The quick rallies of / to z
points in the first hour left the market
unsettled and feverish. In the curb market
Standard Oil sold down II points to 4S5.
Interests who sought stocks to support
the market let them go at intervals in
the afternoon, but there were no serious
set backs and the market rallied easily
when the selling ceased.
The market became steadier, but when
the earlier losses had been retrieved there
was no disposition to follow the advance
and the market fell into extreme dullness
