WINTER WHEAT NOT so GOOD.
Condition Found to BE Far Below
that of Last Year.

The Department OF Agriculture yester-
day issued the following statements:
The condition OF the winter wheat
crop on December l is estimated at SS3
per cent of a normal, which compares
with gI.2 per cent a year ago. In the
past ten years the condition on De-
cember l has averaged SO3 per cent and
the out-turn of the crops has averaged
about lL4 bushels per acre on the
planted area In the same proportion
the condition OF SS3 would forecast 4
yield Of about I4Os bushels. which. on the
estimated acreage planted, amounts to
$50, O0C 600 bushels.
The production in 1914 was estimated
at 675, g.. 900 bushels Cby far the largest
amount ever produced in one year., and
in the preceding years an average an
nual production OF Il, 1900 bushels.
TN forecasting this quantity Of 5SO.-
CO., GO bushels. il should be considered
as the amount OF which the probability
Is equal that the iut-turn will be either
above or below it"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
DECIDES BOND QUESTION.
Washington Gas Light Has Mini
mum Price of I03.

The Public Utilities Commission yes
terday decided upon los as the minimum
price at which the 10000 issue of ) per
cent gold bonds Of the Washington Gas
Light Company shall be disposed of. the
action being upon recommendation OF
Howard s. Reeside, president of the cor
poTation.
Out Of the total OF $2.6s0, 900 in bids for
the bonds, only Sl27 900 worth were above
the minimum prescribed. The remainder
Of the issue will be sold in open mar
ket. The company originally requested
that 1t be permitted to place the bonds
with its stockholders at par, but the COM
mission objected, directing that the bonds
be sold to the highest bidders. The bids Of
fered were not satisfactory to the COM
pany. so request was made that a min
imum figure be set. The bids were tend
cred by individuals and bond houses Of
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and
New York.
Activities on the local stock exchange
yesterday were limited to Capital Trac-
ton per cent bonds, $500 worth being
sold at 1O6 IA. a fraction lower than
recent sales. Other quotations remained
practically the same, except Washington
Gas Light per cent bonds. bids on
which were lowered to 105. The asked
price was los 3-s.

SAFETY First, .

Stock Markets Stagnate, as

LEATHER PROVES ACTIVE
Trade Reports on Beet Sugar Industry
. Opdmistic-Whitman May Abolish
State Tax on Stock Sales.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE stock markets
stagnate. Speculative activity is either
drawn by the old-fashioned locomotive,
public interest or the modern motor, the
electric tractor Of manipulation.
Outside buying rarely follows a dull
or declining market and until steam has
accumulated behind public demand no in
crease in business can be expected. Ma
nipulatiOn gets its power from the third
rail of banking interests and the current
has been turned off for the time being.
In fact, all activity on the floor of the
exchange is under careful scrutiny and
every effort is being made to proceed with
a due regard for safety first
Rumor had { that stock exchange Of
ficials were taking unusual means to
insure normal conditions in speculation
until the situation should improve. Floor
traders who ordinarily would lead a pro-
cessiOn or head a retreat are handicapped
by the additional tax recently imposed
by the Federal government.
Trading Is Limited.
Union Pacific moved 1-2 point between
sales and dropped l point on the turn
over of 1,OOO shares. Trading was ex-
ceedingly limited, with several periods
during the day when no prices were re
corded. Central Leather led in point OF
activity and advanced from Sc IL to IS is,
closing at the top. Directors meet next
week to act on the dividend and one
member of the board stated that while
the company was fully able to put the
stock on a 4 per cent basis" he expected
that a per cent rate would be inaugural
ed. Traders were a little Chary of the
movement and the activity was decidedly
out of proportion for the days business.
Trade reports of the beet sugar indus
try are decidedly ptimistic. International
issues were dull and slightly heavy, but
the volume of business was too small
to give any direction to trading. Louis
VILE and Nashville was unchanged at
Us, on the announcement of the reduC-
ton in the dividend rate from to per
cent. Wall street is in a curious frame
of mind when decreased railroad disburse-
ments are not considered bearish factors.
Stock exchange circles were interested
in a rumor that GOv.-elect Whitman would
favor the abolition of the State tax of
s. per 1eO on stock sales This is almost
too good to be true.

FLEMING IN JAIL.
Charged With Stealing Topeka Auto
Bond at $1,000.

Harry F.. Fleming, the Fostoria
garage keeper, who was arrested Fri
day on the charge of stealing an auto
mobile belonging to s. o. Wilcox of
Topeka, has been bound over for
trial under bond of $1,000. At noon
today he had not secured the bond,
and was still in the county Jail.
Fleming was brought to Topeka yes
terday by Sheriff L. L. Kiene. The
Wilcox automobile. which was stolen
from in front of the Majestic theater
Tuesday night, was found in West
mOreland. 1t had not been taken to
Fostoria, where Fleming has a garage.
He told the sheriff a story of having
purchased the auto in Topeka from a
man named w, H. Pearson of Frank
fort. Kan, paying SIS for it, and went
into details in explaining the transac-
ton, but the officers view his tale with
suspicion.
