FORCED TO WALL
Adiudicated Bankrupt in Tren-
ton on Application Of De-
benture Holders.
Especial to the Newark STAR

TRENTON, Aug. 8.-Upon applica-
ton of Louis H. Amy, Ernest ]. H.
Amy and the Continental Finance Com
pany, all of New York, fled in the
United States District Court here,
Judge Cross has adjudged the Ameri-
can Farm Products Company bankrupt.
The concern was originally capitalized
at ST, 000. 900 for the purpose of pro-
ducing butter.

Frank P. McDermott, the weil-known
corporation lawyer, of Elizabeth and
Jersey City, have beer appointed re-
ceivers for the company by Judge Cross
n have given bond in the sum of
$4,000. The petitioners claimed that
the corporation was insolvent n that
the appointment of receivers was neces-
sary.
The petitioning creditors are the
owner Of twenty-five debenture bonds
Of the company of an issue of S9T4 ,00O
of the securities. The company de-
faulted the interest on these bonds in
January and July. The petition shows
that the corporation owns plants in
Chicago, Elgin and Rockford, Inll.; Ken
ton and Forest. o., and Bad Axe and
Owosso, Mich. This property is valued
on the books of the company at 81 900,
1000. but the petition AYERS IL Is not
worth more than half that sum. The
property is mortgaged for $4,000 to Sc
cure a loan on a note obtained from the
Corn Exchange National Bank, of New
York. Besides the bonds and the loan
secured by the mortgage there are la
bilities If $50, 900, together with s4S, 00C
accrued interest, with little cash on
hand. The assets are scheduled at
$500, 900.
The company was INCORPORATED here in
1905 as the American Butter Refining
Company. Later its name was changed
and the authorized capital stock re-
duced to $751; 500. 900. OF which ST. 25, 900 fl
outstanding. The concern has a capac-
ity of 20. 200, 900 pounds Of butter an
nually. The officers are: President

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, Aug. Swords ship
ments of wheat. as reported today,
were very large, 10. 464, 900 bushels,
against ST. 0 900 bushels a year ago.
The Accommodations at primary points
formed another heavy weight bearing
down upon prices. Watchers of frr-
eign news looking for a sign of export
business got only news of a decline in
quotations at Liverpool.
Reports from France were of inn
proved weather. Although light rains
nave been pretty general throughout
both the spring and winter wheat belts
in America, no serious delay to thresh-
ing seemed probable, except possibly in
Missouri. The market opened u to Is
lower. September started at 1.01%9
1.01N, a decline Of IS to y; touched
1.0-~Q1.02 and fell to LOIS.
Scattered selling weakened corn at
the start. but the ~quickness with which
offerings were taken by commission
houses caused a reaction. September
at the outset was y to y off. at 62B@
6215. The rally ensuing carried the
price up to 62hG6S.
An easier tone in oats was attributed
to hedging sales. September opened V
to IS down, at s6h @s6ss, and reacted to
36A.
Higher prices for live hogs led to
irmness in the provision pit. First
sales were unchanged to TN up, with
the September option at 21.27h for pork,
u.50 for lard and 11.S6Q11.s7h for ribs.
Further advances were made, but did
not all stick.

PROSPERITY IS EVIDENT
EVERYWHERE In M

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Aug. s.-"Germany is
thoroughly alive to the Importance of
commercial and industrial improve
ment and is forging ahead along that
line, / believe, more rapidly than ms
other nation" said John G. Shedd.
managing head of Marshall Field &
Company. who returned Saturday from
an extended tour through Europe.
81 was surprised during my visit to
Germany at the evidences of pros
perity shown in every town and city
of that country. especially of Berlin.
That city is by far the finest in Eu-
rope. 1t is far ahead of other Euro
pean commercial centres.
"Germany's export trade is increas-
ing yearly and far more rapidly than
that of other European countries. Its
present prosperity is due largely to
this condition.
81 don't care to say much in regard
to a comparison of European and
American business methods. 1 will say
this, however. there is no city in Eu-
rope where the retail mercantile busi-
ness is handled in as progressive q
manner as it is in Chicago and New
York"

GOLD-SEEKERS SAID TO
BE WADING in GOLD SAND.
New Field in Manitoba a Ver-
liable EldOradO.

WINNIPEG, Aug. s.-Literally to
wade In golden sands is said to be the
experience of first arrivals in the STAN
pede now on to the new Pas Keewatin
diggings in Manitoba. and it is certain
that a field OF amazing richness has
been discovered within twenty-five
miles of railroad connection.
Two hunters out after gam stopped
to camp at an old disused shack. They
put up a small stove, which had no
legs, and not wishing to burn the floor
one went out and brought back a pail
Of sand and spread 1t under the stove.
The other hunter. being somewhat of
a p~rospector, noticed at once that 1t
was different from the usual sand and
was eager to know If there was any
quantity of it. He p~rospected around
and found a long ridge. He then be-
gan to SEN samples away to be as
sayed, the result of the first sample
being $50 to the tor. the second $40
and the third $50.
Almost everybody here has the gold
fever, and many have left for the scene
by handcar, as there is only one train
a week on the Pas Mission line.

WHEAT CROP LOWERED;
CORN AND OATS food.

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Experts on crops
of the Board of Trade expect the gov
eminent report to be issued today to
raise the winter wheat estimate to
about ABS ,000, 600 bushels, or q. o00. 900
bushels more than last month. and COM
pared with 446. o0O. 900 bushels harvested
last year. The yield per acre is esti-
mated at Is bushels against 15.s bushels
last ear
The spring wheat crop is estimated at
30. 000, 900 bushels, or 100000 bushels
less than last month, and as against
229. 000, 600 bushels as the final last year.
The total wheat crop is estimated at
645. 000, 900 bushels, a shortage of $1,000
900 bushels from last year.
Corn estimates afford comparatively
little change from S5.4 last month. with
an estimated yield of 3.16S, DOC, 900
bushels. The trade generally looks for
a crop of around 1850. 000. 900 to $780,
900, 900 bushels. A big oats crop is ex-
pected and the estimated yield s 1,016,-
600. 900 bushels.
The loss in wheat is due to the
drought in the Northwest in June. Corn
and oats will be bumper crops.

Private advices from Texas bordered

PIG IRON PRICES
DOWN. ADVANCE
COMING IN SEPT.
OyerprOduCtion and Other
Causes Have Lowered Price
to Ground Level.

PITTSBURG. Aug. S.-Speculatlve
buying Of pig-iron has been started.
Those familiar with conditions are OF
the opinion that the bottom has been
reached in prices n that September
VIII witness an advance. A large
brokerage firm has purchased between
10000 and 1900 tons of basic iron for
delivery over the next two months at
$l4 cash. This is to be held for higher
prices. A sale of 5000 tons of basic to
the United States Steel Company, OF
Canton, Ohio. by the NJ. A. Hanna
Company is reported at $14.25. The
iron will be furnished from the Canal
Dover. Ohio, furnace, which enjoys a
freight rate of 40 cents per ton better
thar n competing furnace Deliver
les are for the fourth quarter.
A sale Of 1000 tons of basic was made
in the Pittsburg territory, the price be-
ing s14.l0. valleys. 1t was reported that
basic had been offered as low as s13. So,
valleys, but no sales have been made
at that figure. One sale of 800 tons
Of bessemer iron has been made at
S15.25, valleys. the lowest price this
year. Deliveries are to be made at the
rate Of 500 o per month.
With the increased cost of coke, iron
ore and the high wage rate, pig-iron is
being sold at or lear absolute cost;
hence it is taken for granted that nc
further concessions Ear be looked for.
and there Is considerable inquiry for
iron. This extends into deliveries for
1911, but f-urnace-owners refuse 10
make quotations so far ahead. There
has been no dealing in foundry iron,
which is held at s1450, valleys.
Tin Plate Active.
The tin-plate trade shows more
activity than that Of any of the fin
ished steel products. Mills are from
three to four months behind on deliv-
cries. This is largely due to the small
output per mill. as many of the most
skilled tin-plate workers have beer idle
during the past thirteen months, owing
to a strike against the American Sheet
and Tin-Plate Company. There has
been a marked falling of in buying of
sheets and prices are being u at the
rate of So per ton on black plates and
81 per ton on galvanized.
Steel bars are down to LAO cents, a
cut of one dollar per ton. Iron bars are
not selling freely and are offered a las
cents. Billets and bars are down So
cents per ton below last weeks prices
Bessemer billets are selling at s24.5t
and SIS, bessemer sheet bars at $25.5l
and s26. open-hearth billets at S26
open-hearth sheet bars at $3.50 anS
s27, rods at $2S TO $3.50.
Plates Inc shapes are being offered
at LAO cents, a reduction of 81 per ton
This is on favorable business for for.
ward delivery. The nominal quotation
is Las cents. It is expected that al
LAO cents a considerable tonnage viii
be sold for the last half. There have
been sales of shapes and plates at less
than LAO cents during the past foui
weeks. but this was for prompt deliv-
cry, and only in exceptional cases
sales being credited to the smaller
mills.
