The coun try's enormous corn crop has "run unharmed the gauntlet of dangers that faced It during the doubtful days and nights of September, and lays in to the lap of mallow Octo ber 43,000,000 bushels more of ripened ears than it could promise at the beginning of that month" the Department of Agriculture com mented in issuing the October crop report forecasting a yield of 2,900,- 511,000 bushels. Practically all of the crop has, or will, mature with out frost damage, assuring high feeding value. Husking and crib bing has begun.

Barley showed an increase of more than 3,000,000 bushels, while potatoes an increase of 876,000 bushels, buckwheat 802,000 bushels, apples 3,479,000 bushels and beans 1,327,000 bushels.

SHIFTING OF LABOR NEW STEEL PROBLEM Many Unskilled Workers Are Leaving the Country as Result of Strike; Market For Some Months Expected to Be long to the Seller; Producers Will Hold Down Prices New York, Oct. 9.—Declaring that the back bone of the steel strike is broken, the Iron Age to-day says chief interest is centered in condi tions which the industry now faces. Return to normal operations will be slow, it says, and with the shifting of labor that has been going on and aggravated losses by emigration, the market for some months will jdefi nitely belong to the seller. It 'then declares: "I.arge producers are expected to hold down prices. Increasing de mand is developing for next year's needs, but little success is had in securing bookings. Premiums are freely offered for prompt shipment. No cancellations have been received even by mills totally idle and the strike shutdowns will force consid erable 1919 business into 1920. "Pig iron production in Septem ber, 2,441,554 tons, while 301,,834 tons less than that of the thirty one-day month of August, was larger than July's output of 2,428,- 541 tons. The daily average make was 81,385, 88,496 and 78,340 tons for September, August and July, re spectively. .The effect of the strike is shown in a net loss of 103 fur naces on the active list. Most of them were banked as October came in, but many are now in operation. Against a rated capacity of 93,360 tons daily for the 265 furnaces ac tive September 1, the rate of pro- SEES MONEY IN "DRY" HOTELS Lancaster Man Thinks Pro hibition Should Not Lower Profits Philadelphia, Oct. 9.—Prohibition and its effect on the hotel business was discussed yesterday by a num ber of speakers before the Pennsyl vania State Hotel Association in an nual convention here. I.ouis Dukes, of Lancaster, presi dent of the association, urged the delegates to take an optimistic view of the prohibition question, declar ing that "dry" conditions should not affect profitable hotel operation. The institution of training schools for hotel employes was advocated by A. Conrad Ekholm, of Atlantic City. He said this would provide better hotel employes and "combat the radical tendencies now existing among the help." HJLR.RJSBTTRG TELEGRAPH ductlon of the 162 furnaces in blast on October 1 was only 50,100 tons, indicating to how large an extent the larger furnaces were crippled. "Activity in foundry iron stands out in the week. Southern prices at the new level of S2B are strong and elsewhere $2 and $3 per ton pre mium has been paid for early ship ment. "Railroad inquiries for rails for next year indicate preparation for the expected revision to private ownership. "In view of the sustained heavy demand, it is encouraging that Pitts burgh sheet mills are operating at seventy per cent, of capacity. "As high as 2.70 c., Pittsburgh basis, has been paid for early ship ments of steel bars and western buyers of plates have offered east ern mills the equivalent of 2.80 c., Pittsburgh. "Iron and stel exports for August were 25 per cent, greater in value than those of July and the ton nage, 396,696 tons, is 38 per cent, above that of July. August's ma chinery exports reflected an in creased valuation of $4,000,000 over those of July.
