STEEL JOBS, PAY ROLLS

Special Dispat tch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to Ths Star
NEW YORK. Sept. 26.-Employ-
ment and pay rolls Of the steel industry
during the first half of 1898 were sub
stantially higher than in the corre-
spending periods Of 1894 and 1885
when operations were also below SO
per cent of capacity. Output in the
first six months Of this year, however,
was about one-third lower than in
either Of the two earlier periods
These facts were revealed in a study
by the American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute.
A sharp decrease in output per man
accompanied by a marked increase in
pay roll costs per ton of steel produced
is indicated by the figures. An average
OF $4,000 employees were on the pay
rolls of the industry during the first
half of 1898. or S per cent more than
we're employed in the correspondinp
period of 1894 and 7 per cent more

declared that rehabilitation would con-

Political developments in Europe

day.
Wheat prices dropped early in the
week when there were reports of q pros
pective peaceful settlement Of Euro
pean dihiculties. but bounded up again
on reports of failure of the negotia-
tions. Rye prices followed wheat
Corn prices were lower, which the
bureau attributed to the approach of
new crop marketing and heavier offer
ings of old crop corn. Oats and barley
were about unchanged. There was q
steady inquiry for moderate market
receipts.
The Bureau said wheat supplies
greatly in excess of indicated require
ments weakened wheat markets. World
production, outside of China and Rus
sia, was estimated at 4,345. .00O. 900
bushels. about 100000, 900 bushels
above last season.
Wheat production in the Southern
Hemisphere was estimated to be 3s,-
100000 bushels larger than last year.
The indicated crops were given as
260;o0O, 900 bushels in Argentina and
1S0.000,000 bushels in Australia.
Cash wheat prices fluctuated with
futures. The bureau said announce
ment that the Government would buv

markets.
Spring wheat receipts declined, but
those for winter wheat increased and
were larger than in the like week of
last season. Kansas City quoted No. 2

end.
Foreign wheat market prices varied
with day-to-day European Develop

lower.
Rye prices at domestic markets were
about l to cents a bushel higher
than week earlier.
The first car of new corn arrived
at Chicago from Indiana during the
week. Corn exports were slow. Heavier
shipments were reported from Argen-
tina.
Corn and wheat futures at Chicago
closed Slightly higher Saturday than

MONTREAL Sept. 26. Good
progress has been made toward COM
pletion of harvesting operations in
the prairie provinces of Canada, de-
spite delays caused by heavy rains
over a wide area in Saskatchewan
and In parts of Alberta" according
to the current crop report of the Bank
of Montreal.
"Threshing is virtually finished in
Manitoba and is approaching COM
pletion in Saskatchewan In Alberta
operations are we'll advanced. The
Dominion governments preliminary
estimate places wheat production at
$4,000. 900 bushels, with Manitoba
accounting for 5OOOo,00o bushels,
Saskatchewan for 145 .0OO, 900 bushels
and Alberta for Loo, 900 bushels.
In Manitoba wheat yields vary
but slightly from last year, and the
crop on the whole is of good grade
Wheat yields in Saskatchewan show
wide variation, and rust damage has
affected the weight and quality. In
Alberta a generally satisfactory wheat
crop of good yield and grade is being
harvested.
In Quebec the continuance over
most sections of the province of heavy
rainfalls during the past fortnight has
retarded harvesting. and crop esti-
mates, which earlier in the season
pointed to an abundant harvest, have
been revised downward owing to dam
age from excessive moisture. An
average yield, however, is indicated.
In Ontario the cereal crops have
been above average in yield, but the
quality was affected by poor harvest
ing conditions. Apples are of good size
and color, with yield expected some
what below average Other crops are
heavy, including that of tobacco,
which is of good quality.
In the Maritime Provinces, while
further damage to grain and potatoes
from excessive moisture has occurred,
prospects as to the yield and quality
of the apple crop continue to be good
In British Columbia crops are being
garnered under ideal conditions and
yields generally are satisfactory"

Everything possible has been done
to prevent another letdown for the
public.
About the only thing that keeps
the race from being the greatest ever
staged in Maryland is the fact that
Congress won't adjourn for it. Con-
gress, you know, called it day when
three-horse championship af1air
was staged at Pimlico on october "a,
1877. Parole and Tom Ochiltree repre-
sented the East and Ten Brock was
the champion of the West.
Few horses have captured the pub
lies fancy as Ten Brock had prior
to that race. Like Seabiscuit. he was
considered anything but champion
when young colt. In fact, the old
folks tell us that he wasn't even looked
on as race horse until one morning in
Kentucky, with a scared colored boy
riding him. he decided to show some
rabbits what real running was.
After defeating everything in the
South and West, Ten Brock was
hailed by many experts of the day as
the best horse in 100 years. He was
made the red-hot favorite In the great
sweepstakes at Pimilico, which marked
his first appearance in the East. Sec
tional pride reached such a pitch that
Congress adjourned for the race, not
only so its members could see it, but
in the hope this action might avert
another war between the States in
the event feeling grew any higher.

Domino, whose greatest fame was as

Henry of Navarro ccllared him after a

amazed every one by refusing to quit
and the two horses finished locked to-

month later Henry of Navarro de-
feated his rival by 10 lengths in a

period was that between Salvador and

rainstorm had rendered the track very
heavy and the stewards decided to
postpone the race. F. B. Harper. Ten
Broeck's owner, protested this pro-
cedure, so the race was run with about
10000 persons, a record crowd, look
ing on.
Parole won the 2la-mile race by
five lengths, with the favorite second
and Tom Ochiltree third. Parole paid
very fancy odds and his owner, Pierre
Lorillard, added considerably to the
fortune which his tobacco interests
had brought him.
