WORMS IN JEFFERSON COUNTY
The Farmers Are Uneasy Over the
onslaughts Of Vermln in
Corn Fields.

Fairfield, Oct. 27.--Jefferson county
farmers are quite uneasy on account
OF the havoc that small worm or
insect has wrought in the corn fields
around over the county. Farmers
who have begun to husk their corn
crop find that in many of the fields
where the stalks are laying nat on
the ground small worm has been at
work on the joints of the stalk and
has eaten 1t practically in pieces, thus
deadening the stalk and stunning the
corn. Much of the corn has been
down for two or three weeks on &C.
count of the recent hard winds and
fall storms. It is said that in some
localities nearly half the crop is on
the ground and the stalks are damag'
ed by these worms. Even the best
fields will not turn out as well as was
expected earlier in the season.

COMMERCIAL CALL
no IMPROVEMENT
In STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK. DAY speculative at
tention in today's stock market was d.
verted to picked stocks or groups of
securities while the general list was
neglected and sluggish and the undertone
heavy. Sentiment was affected yet by
the unreasonable weather and the I'M
favorable effects TO be feared grain
crop in iced Of development to insure
axainst deterioration and reduced yield.
Some determined or retsrding effect
on mercantile activity is reported also as
an eject of the backward spring. The
holiday in London detrRcted something
from the usual participation in the
market and left opinion uniform on the
foreign view Of events.
Some anxiety was felt over the course
of May day events in Paris, but the
arnness on the bOurse had a re&ssuring
effect.
The check to resumption Of business
activity from the unreasonable weather
keeps down the demand for money for
mercantile purposes and conserves the
ease of the money market. Outside banks
are very large lenders in New York. The
Canadian bank statement is of interest in
York TO an estimated amount Of $117,-
100000.
The publication Of statistics of immi-
grafton attracted attention by its dis
closure that incoming steerage passengers
for the 1rst three months Of the year
have increased again TO near the record
figures of 1867. The improved industrial
outlook is given credit for this develop
ment.
Features of strength in the days mar
kst were the Erie securities, the Ca
madam Pacific group, Pennsylvania and
Western Union. The general level Of
prices was little changed by the days
transactions.
