New York
Stock Market
Xtw Yorl* August 10.?The govern?
ment crop report, issued yesterday,
end which is admittedly poor, takln?
Its figures at their face value, was used
os a weapon for another attack on the
stock market values to-day Prices
fell two or more points in the active
list, with materially greater losses
elsewhere. The decline, while often
precipitate and clearly betokening fur?
ther liquidation, some of it doubtless
enforced, was not of the demoraliz?
ing character which has attended sev?
eral recent movements. Quoted prices
simply fell away according to the
pressure of offerings, each successive
rally of a point or so being the simi.il
for another soiling movement, which
left the list lower than before.
As a matter of fact, persons who
are held to be judges of conditions
nurcc that the government report pre?
sents a condition much worse than
actually exists to-day; that the dam?
age, save in certain commodities, is
far less than yesterday's estimates in?
dicate: that practically all foodstuffs,
corn excepted, are better now than on
August 1, on which date the govern?
ment report was compiled. That be?
ing the case, some traders say. it is
puerile to point to agricultural condi?
tions as the chief cause of the rnr
ket's severe reversal. Prices have
yielded with more or less steadiness
for almost a fortnight, losses In ?oiue
standard stocks during that period ex?
tending to In points. It is just us un?
reasonable to ascribe the decline ti?
the misfortunes of some overextended
bulls. The caus.es probably lie deaper,.
nnd the political situation, as repre?
sented in the activities of the Federal
government, coupled with flnancia' und
political conditions abroad, may prop?
erly be regarded as the more potent
lectors In the cases.
It is becoming increasingly evident
that large quantities of securities h?vo
been disposed of by the so-called sub?
stantial lnte-reetts out of sheer disap?
pointment with tho course of public
events. The attitude of these interests
nt this time appears to ue one of
indifference to the fnto of the stock
market. On the other hand, a cortj
aequencc of the present movement, '.t
is urg-ued. will ero long result in a
level which must attract outside buy?
ing of an investment character.
Aside from movements in the mar?
ket, one of the Interesting items cf
the day was contained in the July re?
port of unfilled tonnnge of the United
State Steel Corporation. The figures
show an Increase of 22'3.oon tons over
June, with a much larger gain over
May, and accounted in par; for tho
comparative steadiness of ?iteel dur?
ing the greater part of the day, de?
spite the enormous offerings of that
Ptock. which amounted to 2 7 5.'"' o 0
shares out of a grand total of
1,050,000.
Other news Includes dispatches from
the Middle West. In which traffic ofll-i
cials were quoted as oppressing alarm 1
over the rapid growth of the railroad j
department of a prominent labor organ
lzatlon and reported unrest In other
branches of labor affiliated with tho ?
great transportation companies.
In the last hour the list made very'
general recoveries from the low point j
on which appeared to be steady absorp- i
tlon, together with extensive short cov- j
ering. The buying showed more delib
aratlon than any recent similar move- j
ment. and Indicated that the market!
had teached a point of equilibrium.
Rallies ran from a full point net gains, j
with especial firmness in United States!
Bteel. Great Northern preferred. North-!
em Pacific. I'nion Pacific, Southern Pa-!
rifle and Reading. The greater part of!
the ga'n was held at the close, which
.was steady.
London bought 20,000 shares on bnl- ;
ance here, chiefly Union Pacific and |
United States Steel. The statement of
the Bank of Eng'and discloses no new
condition In that institution. The!
Bank of France reported a loss of about
$900,000 in gold, and dispatches from '
Paris stated that the hank will prob-j
ably take measures to prevent a fur?
ther decline If the Moroccan situation
Is not speedily adjusted.
The bond list was weak throughout
Total sales, par value, amounted to
$2,946,HOO. United States government
bonds were unchanged on call.

portion of a grain of corn burled deep
In the car of a little girl has been re?
moved by a Irarrlsonburg surgeon. Th<s
corn had begun to swell and to all

root and sprout.
Several weeks ago the child. Alma

of Oamdcn, N. J? guests of relatives
here, was playing in the poultry yard,
when a boy tossed several pieces of
corn in the little girl's ear, whllo in
tho aot of scattering the corn in the
yard to the chickens.
Little Alma stuck her finger in her
ear to remove the corn, hut accident?
ally and unconsciously shoved one
piece Of corn hack Into her ear, whero
It lodged and began to take root. Af?
ter untold suffering the child was
taken to a specialist, who rernoved the
obstruction, bringing ready" relief to
the sufferer.

being fully one and a half miles wide,
completely destroying crops along the

CROP CONDITION
BBbOW THE AVERAGES
Washington. August 10.?The com- |
bined condition of all crops was 14.6 1
Per cent, below average, according to 1
the announcement of the Department
Of Agriculture to-day. On July 1 con?
ditions were 10.7 per cent, below the
average, and on June l they were 2,8
below. The severe drought over a wide
area of the country was the prln- ,
cipal cause of the unusually low crop ;
conditions, the report states. A com- I
parlson of the condition of varioua
crops on August 1 (or at time of har- 1
vest), with their average growing con- I
dition on August l of recent years
(past ten years for most crops'), is
shown as follows (100 representing i
average condition and not normal):
Cotton. 112.2; lemons. 101.2; apples I

hay (production). 68.1; pasture. 67.8.
The combined estimate of yield per
acre of winter wheat is 93.5 and rye,
95.1 of average.
The above figures of growing condi?
tions did not take Into acoount the
influence of changed acreages. Taking
Into account both acreage and condi?
tion, Indications are that tho wheat
crop will be 4.1 per cent, less than
the average annual production of the
past five years; corn, 7.0 per cent, less;
oats, 12.3 per cent. less; barley, 18.1
per cent, less; buckwheat, 8.8 por cont
less; potatoes. 21.9 per oent less.; to?
bacco, 26.b per cent, less: rye, 3.5 per
cent, more; flax, 2.3 per cent less, and
hay. 22.S per cent, less than tho aver?
age production of tho past Avo years.
