Hot, Dry Weather Hurts
Canadian Prairie Crops
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department re-
ported yesterday that hot, dry
weather in the Canadian prairie
provinces took further heavy toll of
wheat and other grain crops during
the past week.
Previous propects had pointed to
a bumper grain crop in Canada.
Rains were reported from many
points, the department added, but
they were not sufficiently widespread
to offset the effect of above-normal
temperatures when the crops were
at the filling stage.
AS harvesting started in Southern
Manitoba, yields of oats and barley
were considerably below average.
both in quantity and quality, the
department said, adding that grass
hoppers threatened serious damage
to standing crops in the southern

1929 Marks Being Exceeded.
Using the figures compiled by the
several Federal Reserve Banks it is
interesting to note that whereas for
Washington the dollar volume of de-
partment stores will this year be
from 80 to 35 per cent ahead of the
average for the three years 1928
1928, no other comparable city will
even remotely approach the average
level of this period.
Moreover, for Washington, depart
ment store trade this year will run
virtually IS per cent ahead of the
1929 total, a situation unexampled
anywhere among our large cities.
Government employment, to be
sure, has had much to do with this
condition, affording as it does a
stable resource to business on a pay
roll basis that is distinctly above
average and where incomes are as
sured and steady even through sick
ness and vacation. Yet the employ
ment conditions of the remainder Of
the workers here are not strikingly
dissimilar.
In manufacturing employment
there is less than per cent fluctua-
ton during the year; such slacken-
ing as may occur in private enter
prise generally is usually balanced
by counter movement in another
line.

Commission Proposes
To Wipe Out Present
D. & R. 6. Shares
Missouri Pacific and
Western Pacific Own
All of Common
By the ASsocia ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission proposed yesterday plan
of reorganization for the Denver &
Rio Grande Western Railroad which
would wipe out present preferred
and common stockholders.
The Missouri Pacific and the
Western Pacific own all the COM
mon stock of the Denver g. Rio
Grande Western.
The Missouri Pacific, numerous
civic organizations and others urged
the I. C. C. to adopt a plan provid-
ing a means whereby the Missouri
Pacific and the Western Pacific could
retain control of the Denver & Rio
Grande Western through acquisi-
tion of majority of the new hold
ing stock.
The commission provided that in
order ito facilitate any reason
able plan which the new stock
holders may adopt with respect to
the acquisition of an interest by
larger system or systems" all new
common stock be deposited under
an escrow agreement for 10 years.
Subject to I. c. c. approval and with
the consent of holders of escrow
receipts representing majority of
the shares on deposit, the roads Re-
organization Committee then would
have authority to sell all or any
part of the deposited common
stock.
Under this provision it would be
possible for the Missouri Pacific
and the Western Pacific by putting
up new money to reacquire control
of the Denver & Rio Grande West
ern.
The plan provides for the consoli-
dation of the Denver &, Rio Grande
Western and the Denver & Salt Lake
Western, which also is in bank
ruptcy, with three other Denver &
Rio Grande Western uncontrolled rail-
roads-Denver & Salt Lake Railway,
Rio Grande Junction Railway and
Goshen Valley Railroad.
