HIT BY ]. FROST
Mason City Reports 80 Above

Area EScapeS--Dakota
Not Injured.
Sioux city. la Aug. 80. 1915.

Sioux City, la Aug. 80, 1915.
While none of the regular weather
stations In the reports received at
Sioux City show any killing frost last
night, advices from Tribune corre-
spondents are that killing frosts did
occur last night In the north central
and northeastern sections of Iowa,
causing extensive damage to the be-
lated corn crops in those districts. The
corn In the northeastern part OF Iowa
is considerably behind that in north
western Iowa, due to the generally
sour condition of the ground, making
1t very sensitive to surplus of mois-
ture.
At Mason City, Ia, last night the
thermometer marking was 80 degrees
above zero. 2 degrees below the point
for killing frost. The estimate this
morning is that corn and late vege-
tables have been seriously damaged.
The low register for Sioux City last
night was 38 degrees above zero, safe
ly above the point for killing frost,
but probably low enough to show frost
traces on low grounds. Experience in
the past has shown that the lower
markings vary a little from surface
temperatures, especially from those Of
the lower lands. Some farmers around
Sioux City claim they observed frost
early this morning.
Indications today are that all South
Dakota points escaped damage, either
last night or Saturday night. and the
predictions for warmer weather give
renewed hope that a large part of the
corn crop in this region may yet reach
maturity in spite of an unfavorable
season. 3
The low marking at Sioux Falls last
night was 38, with light frost on the
low lands, but the assurance is given
that even the most tender vegetables
were not injured. Mitchell. Yankton,
Madison. Huron and Dallas all report
lack of frost. The lowest temperature
at Huron last night was 40; at Rapid
City, A. iii.
During the last 26 years the earliest
date for killing frost in this vicinity
was September II, registered in 1897,
1900 and 1901. The latest date for kill
ing during this period was October 25,
the record for 1914. The average date
is placed at September 81 to October /.
A. j. More. of the Hornick, More &
Porterfield company, has kept tabula-
ton of killing frost dates since 1898,
and the following figures are taken
from his record:

ing for years a dual identity of banker

AS a bank director in the ArkansaI

How He Operated.
The hundreds Of complaints against

farms which he might buy and got ac-
quainted with men Of money. When

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
PRICES STILL OFF
Despite Huge Shipments of
Gold and Securities Rates
Refuse to Rise. @a

New York. Aug. 31.-Engiand's S45.-
900, 900 shipment Of gold and securities,
which reached here yesterday from
Halifax. produced virtually no effect
whatever today on foreign exchange
rates. Pounds sterling were quoted at
$4.62, the lowest price ever recorded
here, which was reached last Saturday.
Francs also were weaker, today's
quotation of 5.99h being / cent low
er than Saturdays close. Lires, how
ever, were slightly stronger, being
quoted at $50, as against $50 on Sat-
urday. ~.
What is to be done with the $25,O00,-
900 of American securities which
formed part of the shipment was the
subject Of speculation beyond stating
that the total Of American securities
sent here for Great Britains account
in this country and the previous ship
ment was between $50, 600, 900 and $780,
900, 900, consignees of the shipment
had nothing to say. 1t had been popu-
larly believed that these securities
would be used as a basis for the estab-
lishment of some sort Of foreign credit
here.
Adjustment Of the situation, 1t was
said, awaits the arrival of British and
French financiers sent here from Lon
don and Paris. ....

WILL REMOVE BAN
ON SOME EXPORTS
Britain to Allow Passage of
German Goods For Which
Americans Had Con-
traCted. ~

Washington, d. c., Aug. 30.-Con-
eessions in the enforcement against
American commerce OF the British orr
der in council as announced today as
the result of influential negotiations
just completed by the foreign trade ad-
visers of the state department. The
British ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring
Rice, assured the trade advisers that
their informal representations in cases
where the British orders have caused
undue hardship" to American COM
merce will receive special consideration.
Information in the hands of the state
department that private brokers were
securing permits IN London for special
shipments of American goods from
Rotterdam, while the trade advisers
were unable even to present special
cases, was transmitted to London.
The ambassador called at the state
department personally to explain the
extent of British concessions, which
are especially intended to meet the
growing complaint of American i'm
porters that their Christmas trade is
threatened by failure to obtain goods
made In Germany and Austria, for
which they had contracted.
Generally speaking, 1t Is the inten-
ton of the British government to per-
NIT the passage through the blockade
tines OF goods for which the American
importers have entered into contract
with German and Austrian firms, Here
tofore it has been required that the
money shall have actually been paid
:or the goods. Now 1t will be sufficient
10 show that they were regularly con-
tracted for and that the American i'm
porter Is really the person responsible
for them and title rests with him
Goods valued at many millions of dol
lars have accumulated at Rotterdam
and await transportation to the United
States The order applies to these, but
whether 1t will extend to goods yet in
German factories, but under contract
for delivery on this side of the At
antic, Is yet undetermined.
The success Of private interests in
London represented by special attor-
neys in securing the release of about
5000, 900 worth Of such goods now on
the docks. is explained at the British
embassy here as due to the fact that
the local attorneys there were able to
secure and present to the British au-
thorities the proof required as to the
character of the goods and the con-
ditions of contract. Now 1t is planned
to permit American importers to pre-
sent proof at the British embassy here
which, 1t is believed will greatly facili-
tate inportations. The entire RESPONSE
bility is placed by the British authori-
ties on the German government and II
Is alleged that contrary impression
has been sought to be created because
Of i'll feeling against Great Britain.
