THE RYE

Rye acreage of the United States,
this season. as found by the bureau
of statistics is Ia less than in 1911,
but the condition at the harvesting
was $40 of n per cent higher than
the 1O-year average. which would
give hut little difference in the pro-
duction from the average. Like sever
al other cereal crops there was very
little surplus brought over the season
and prices have declined materially
since the new crop began to move.
One year ago y in Minneapolis
brought SOFAS - cents and now
sells at 81 So cents, or at a decline of
some Is The decline seems
too great for the comparative market
conditions. Like in other crops. there
was much Improvement toward the
end of the season.. which brought a
general decline in values. Once start
ed, there was a whirlwind of selling
for future delivery which should be
we'll ended, being under the normal
level. The preliminary estimate of
production this season is 35.0OO.O00
bushels, against $4,000 900 last year,
35. 1000 900 in 1910 and 80 900, 900, the
latter as found by the census for
1909.
Receipts of rye in the last six bust
ness days were 10 cars. against 106
cars last veal in the corresponding
period. Shipments in the last week
were sc cars. Demand is good both
for local milling and for shipping.
Prices declined rapidly in the last two
weeks with evidence that the crop
was too rapid AS it brought large de-
mand and competition carried values
up some 2 cents in the last few days.
A part of the later arrivals came in
damp fro mthe late rains. Receipts
are delayed in all grains on account
Of the weather being too wet to
thresh safely. In some cases grain is
reported damaging in the fields.

SAVES W0RKMAN'S LIFE
John SabOW of WOODBRIDGE
ParaIyized by Fear Close
Call With Death.
SAVES WORKMAN'S LIFE

John Saoow, thirty-flve years old,
of Main street, Woodbridge, had
close call with death at AIS o'clock
yesterday afternoon, when a west
bound c. r. r. express hit and kill
ed a team OF horses which he was
driving over the crossing at Maurer.
Sabow Is employed by Thomas F.
DUNCAN. He had just filled his
wagon at the clay pits and was on his
way to the factory of Henry Maurer
& Son when the accident happened.
The Atlantic City Express due at
Maurer at Ais o'clock came thun-
derlng at great speed and owing to
the wind the driver did not hear the
shrill blasts of the whistle of the
locomotive. The train hit the team
and broke off the pole between them
six inches from where the driver
had his feet braced. The breaking
of the pole, witnesses say, was the
thing which saved the mans life.
One horse was carried 100 feet be-
fore 1T hit the ground.
The wagon being filled with clay
kept 1t on the ground. People say
that If the man had been going af-
ter a load of clay he would have
been killed as the engine would have
demolished the light wagon. Sew
eral versions as to what action he
took to avoid being hit, are being
circulated
One is that the driver never moved
a muscle as he saw the train almost
upon him. Others claim that not a
sound was forthcoming from the
man who escaped death by a hairs
breadth. Another story is that sew
eral minutes after the horses were
killed the driver still retained his
seat, rigid with fear. Others de-
clared that when he saw he couldn't
clear the track he jumped This is
not considered most improbable as
the man did not have sufficient time
to get off the wagon. Mr. T1.l. an.
his employer, says he cannot learn
much from the man as he is In
very nervous state.
After the accident the train was
stopped and the engineer and con-
ductor went back to the spot OF the
accident, After learning that the
, driver was uninjured the train pro-
ceeded to It's destination. The team.
| Mr.. DUNCAN says, was valued at
$500. Sabow has been in Mr.. Duni-
gan's employ only one week.
