^^^^^-^w^ DEBTS INVOLVED IN, FAILURES DECREASE New York, July 6,Commercial in solvencies in the United States during the first half of 1905 were 6,210 in number and $55,904,855 in amount of defaulted indebtedness, according to the Journal of Commerce. Numerical ly this shows scarcely any alteration in comparison with the 6,214 failures in the corresponding Bix months of last year, but a decrease appears when last year's liabilities of $79,490,909 are con sidered. CANADIAN CROPS. Too Wet in Manitoba but Fine Pros pect Westward. Special to The Journal. Winnipeg, Man., July 6.The wheat rop of the Canadian northwest will fee the best the country has ever seen. yrom all over come reports of brilliant crops and-weather that suits the farm ers as tho made to order. In past years there has not been sufficient rain in June to suit all lands, but this year the rain has been heavy and always suc ceeded by hot days until the crops have grown as tho the country was one huge hotbed. In places wheat has attained a height of three feet, while in the ter ritories the shortest is over thirty Inches. Around Winnipeg too much rain has fallen and the wheat is not good, but this will hardly affect the total supply, because little grain is grown in this vicinity. In the far west the crop is as near perfect as possible, and it de teriorates very slightly until the Red river valley is reached. Visitors from other lands who have seen the wheat on the Rocky mountain slopes, say it is the best the world has ever pro duced. The wheat acreage in Manitoba this years is 2,643,588, an increase of 231,- 853 over last year. In the territories the acreage for spring wheat is 1,109,- 72, with 13,832 acres of fall wheat, making an increase of fully 40 per cent. Last year the wheat acreage produced an average of a fraction under 19 bush els an acre, but it is estimated this ?ear it will run from 25 to 30 bushels 0 the acre, while some few fields will beat all records of the northwest for heavy crops. So far, no .trace of any disease has been found and the only thing to be feared is black rust or early frost. If these keep off, E. O. Dillings says that at a conservative estimate the wheat crop this year will amount to over 70,- 000,000 bushels, against 55,000,000 last year. Grain experts agree that the crops are fully three weeks ahead of last year's. CHARGED WITH POISONING Mrs. Pratt and Hired Man Believed to Have Murdered Her Husband. Lake City, Iowa, July 6.The cor oner's jury today finished its inquest into the death of Josiah M. Pratt on April 21, after a brief illness.
