Monthly Crop Report.


The weather throughout the State
for the whole of June was unusually
warm and there was practically no
rainfall There was a high percentage
Of sunshine, causing general
drouth.
OATS-The oats crops for several
years has never been so bad. The
drouth has caused almost a total fail
ure in many sections of the State and
dry rust has helped to make the
failure.
CORN-The corn crop will be an av
erage one although the lateness OF
planting and the hot weather is cauIs-
ing acidity of the soil In the low
lands and causing the seed not 20
terminate. Many had to plant their
corn the escond or third time.
THE FRUIT CROP.-There will be
about one-third of a crop. There
were few cherries, and piums are not
bearing very heavy as the destructive
black knot" has done great damage
to the damson plum trees in the past
two or three years, and there will be
few, IL any. damsons this season.
The pruning process does not seem
10 check the ravages Of "black knot"
In some sections of the State there is
a full crop OF apples ard peaches,
while in other sections both crops are
almost total failure. Many of the
limbs on the peach trees have with
cred away and died, the result, pre-
sumably, OF the last freezes which
came at a time when the trees were
putting forth their leaves
hurley TOBACCO.-In the coun-
ties of Spencer, Hart, Barren, Hardin,
Green and Grayson and part Of LaRue
there is about an average crop set
out, although set lare, and the pros
pect Is not good on account of dry
weather. In the counties of Andar-
son, Bath, Boone, Bourbon, Boyle,
Bracken, Carroll, Fleming, Gallatin,
Crane, Harrison, Henry, Kenton, Mad
son. Lincoln, Mercer, Montgomery,
Nicholas, Oldham, Owen, PendIe'on,
Robertson, Shelby, Scott and Wood
ford there is three and one-half per
cent of a full crop planted, which
would be about $3.50 acres.
We understand from citizens of the
following counties reporting the above
thaa no tobacco will be planted in
Nicholas, Fleming, Bracken, Franklin,
Scott, Woodford, Owen, Gallain, Boone
Kenton and Carroll counties.
Estimated crops in counties not
known as hurley tobacco producing
counties:
Allen, 375 acres; Barren, 500 acres;
Green, 400 acres; Hardin, 300 acres;
Hart. 600 acres Larue, 400 acres: Ma
rion. 200 acres; Meade, 400 acres;
Nelson, 400 acres; Ohio, 200 acres;
Carter, 400 acres; Lewis, 500 acres;
Greenup, 400 acres.
DARK ToBACCO.-There has been
reported to us that there will be about
"a per cent of a full crop planted.
The prospect is that nearly all of this
will be pooled.
There are fifteen counties that con-
stitute the above percentage in the sec
ond division. There are fifteen coun-
ties in uhe first division that report the
per cent of full crop planted or an
average of 90 per cent in the whole
of the dark tobacco growing distrios.
CLOVER AND GRASSES.--CloDer
and grasses are not as good as early
prospects indicated, but many farmers
are being able to cut and put in barns
without rain. Alfalfa is doing well
and there is very increased acreage
throughout the State.

Real Snake Story.

No wonder the world is full of
snakes. This morning as l went to
my spring to get a bucket of water
there was a big highland moccasin,
lying by the spring. She run up
under some roots and l failed to get
her. l went to the house and tied
a large fishhook to pole and went
back to the spring she was laying out
in the sun again. l reached my hook
a little beyond and gave a jerk. l
got her too. 1 killed her and on exami
nation, found her to be full OF little
snakes. l got them all out and killed
them. then counted them and there
were SO little ones and the big one

The forenoon weakness continued af- ter midday with selling for both the long and short accounts. Union Pacific was under a good deal of pressure de- clining three points. There were ru- mors that the dividend is to he reduc- ed but they were not credited in well informed circles.
 One thing which was alleged to have inspired selling was the general circu- lated report that President Roosevelt .~-fll shortly send another message 10 Congress. which will be still more drastic in its recommendations than the previous one Washington firms were among the heaviest sellers of stocks ail the morning Another reason offered for selling stocks was that the chances for the Aldrich bill to pass tne House are less bright. Tn addition to this there were rumors of trouble, yhlcl are always conveniently circulated when stocks are going down. No facts had developed up to early in the afternoon.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Rapid Decline in Prices Follows Ex-
 tension of Activity.

New York, Feb 10-The activity in | stocks which revived towards the end | of last week was notably extended to- | day in the form of selling orders and a deep cut was made in the formerly pre- vailing level of prices. Stocks were pressed for sale from all sides and as the demand was quite inadequate to ohsorb these sales there was rapid decline in prices with only occasional check caused by the covering opera tiens of the professional bears. There was no striking new item of informa- ton te account for the apprehensive spirit reflected in the action of the market but there was a pronounced growth that spirit clearly manifest. This was due to a cumulative effect from misgivings felt for some time, while the influence on prices was az gravated by the sudden abandonment of position on the long side of the market, which had been persisted In by Q speculative element. That element has been hopeful that the episode of last fall in the country's finances was due to causeless fears and misconcep- tion of the true strength of the bank ing position and that its effects on general trade and business was immed- lately to pass away with the demon stration of the causelessness of the fears which prompted what was, in effect, universal run on the banks of the country. It is a trial to the faith of those looking for this quick revival of industry when the money situation has become normal again to face the returns of continued shrnkage in rail- road traffic. reduction of factory fore es and general lethargy in demand for products
 The resulting discouragement is having the effect of driving some of the former hopeful spectators to the other extreme, where they profess 10 see only gloom and prospects of an indefinite prolongation of the depres- sion. Such a change in position is quite characteristic of large class, of spectators. To-day they went as far into the future as the crop season to predict possibilities of harmful events which may have to be faced The course which political activities are shaping was a continued theme of dis cussion about the stock exchange and with depressing effect Selling for foreign account played considerable part in the weakness. The impression | of hostile influence on the side of pol itics was heightened by the official recommendation for greater rigor in the collection of the stock transfer and franchise taxes in New York state. Declining railroad earnings brought into question future dividend disbursements. Meantime. corpora- ttons are still driven 10 short time note issues for financial purposes indivatins the investment demand from capital still insufficient to provide for more permanent forms of financing The

SAILOR LOSES SUIT.

'Ex dividend
The morning journal-courier., 1908-02-11

Selling of Reading and Union Pacific was closely watched. with view to de- termning the principal sources of Hdui- dation. Several brokers had selling or ders in these stocks aggregating 50.000 shares each. This in itself was regard ed with suspicion. Where anybody de- sires to sell large amount of stock, it is the rule to distribute the orders among a number of firms, to make it appear less suspicious. Tn the case of Reading there was no news whatever aside from the various rumors which have been circulated lately, as tc the contemplated issue of new securities. : This was again denied to-day. The company's coal business has been run ming light during most of the winter, and there are large stocks on hand. Put this is nothing new There, was abso- , lutely no news regarding tho Harri- , man stocks Talk of dividend reduc- tions was general.
 In particular stocks the possibility cf a reduction in dividends entered direct ly into the decline It is recognized that February earnings will be m bet ter than those last month and the statements reported are beginning 10 show the extent of the strain On some systems from the perpendicular de- cline in traffic from November on. It was said that some more of the shops of equipment concerns would have to close in 8 few days from lack of new orders
 The Hartman interests bought Union Pacific heavily on the decline, but without checking the stocks downward course. Houseman X O.. Foster & Lounsberry. and Hollster & Babcock also bought.
 In the past two weeks the average decline in stocks has amounted to about seven points. A rally was look ed for yesterday because of the ex- tent of the fall and about the only thing Wall street has to be bullish on was the present low range of prices and the extended character of the short interest.
 London sold 25,00O shares up to mid day, and continued to put out stocks after the London market closed the total being. perhaps 35.0o0 shares. For eign sentiment was considerably dis turbed by financial troubles in Copen- hagen. and by the failure of promi- nept slliDbuilding concern.

ANOTHER MESSAGE FEARED
Average Decline During the Past Two Weeks Has Been Seven

The New York market showed great weakness at the start and continued to decline with very slight rallies all of the morning. Early in the after noon prices were at the lowest for the day, Liquidation was heavy in all active issues, and some of the inactive issues broke 2 to 3 points between transactions.

But it was due al rrnost entirely to short covering, There was no outside participation The shock caused by the break of 10 to + points in some stocks since anuary 20, which was the continuation of the rise, has served to drive people away from the market.

The persistent liquidation and the volume of 1t led many to believe that there was something hanging over the market. This was variously construed to include some impending financial difficulty or another political outbreak that would be discouragng to capital. As matter of fact the banking sit uation locally Is now better than it has been in some years.

gratis to city folks"
"Well, that's so, tool" said Percy, as he
came back for the money.
As Herb was handing it to him, VIII said:

can't, why, get wheat or oat. But be sure
