COR-N PROMISES TO BREAK RECORD Prospects Never So Favorable for Twenty Years as They Are Now. Kloomington, 111.. Aug. 25. Ac-ord-Ing to Lafayette Funk, who lias just returned from an extensive tour of the state, the corn crop, barring frost, is likely to be a record breaker. He says that the prospects were never so fa vorable In twenty years back as now. Other grains are also doing well. In Jersey county lie found wheats averag ing twenty-five to forty bushels an acre, with occasional crops of fifty. He says that most of the wheat has been stacked, which is thought to be the very best way to get n thoroughly good market condition on the grain. Farmers in central Illinois are not through with oats thrashing yet, a month later than usual. The unprece dented rainfall caused the delay. The cool weather of the present month, probably as a result of theheavy rains, lias aroused some apprehension of ear ly frosts and this may affect the corn seriously. Otherwise the prospects the state over are excellent. PERFECTING DETAILS IN BIG MEAT COMBINE Omaha, Aug. 25.

The Cudahy company lias decided to enter into this combination ami will meet the ad vances made by Armour and other packers. This part of the deal has been denied lately, but the deal was not then closed and nothing definite could be said. This will mean a con solidation of all the packing interests of South Omaha and a consequent re duction of expenses in a number of departments. "The chances are that no decision will be reached regarding the demand made' by the meat butchers for on in crease In wages for a few days at least, as the matter is still under ad visement." The result of the combination, it Is somewhat feared, will work to the det riment of the shippers, owing to the fact that the buyers for the packers will establish market prices. This Is one of the most discussed points among those on the inside of the so called beef trust. There is little doubt here that the statement quoted Is authoritative. Charleston. III., Aug. 25.
