THE CROPS OF 1893.
They Promise to Yield Similarly to
Those of Three Years Ago.
Some Encouraging
Features.
The ‘American Agriculturist’'s”’ annual
review of the crop situation says that the
harvest of 1893 in the United States is in
many respects similar to that of three years
ago, but with every prospect that home con-
sumption and an increased foreign demand
will also advance values so as to yield as
large a net return to farmers as on the
average of recent years.
Present indications point to a crop of
1.750.000,000 bushels of corn,contrasted with
1.630,000,000 last year, and over 2,000,000,00C
bushels in the immense yield of two seasons
previous. But, unless abundant rains pre
vail throughout the corn belt in August
followed by milder weather, production
may shrink to 1,620,000,000 and may even
drop to the yield of 1890, when we harvest.
ed less than in any year for a decade, with
a singie exception. The corn crop has been
greatly injured so far during August. Kan-
sas will not raise more than half a crop, hav-
ing but very little except the Eastern quart.
er, and Nebraska's crop has been seriously
curtailed.
The wheat outturn will notexceed 443,000-
000 bushels, compared t» 614,000,000 bushels
as the average for the two past seasons and
40 +,000,000 bushels in 1840. Nearly 2,500,00C
less acres were devoted to wheat than last
year, and the bulk of this decrease was in
the surplus States, which bid fair to have
78,000,000 fewer bushels than last year and
125,000,000 bushels under the surpius States
product of 1891. Available supplies of old
wheat are 40,000,000 bushels greater than a
twelve month ago, but even allowing the
farmersialso hold 117,000,000 more old wheat
now than then, the total supplies for the
ensuing year are only 500,000,000 bushels, o1
117,000,000 bushels less than the average of
the two previous crops,Our home consump-
tion has averaged 265,000,000 bushels annu-
ally, leaving an apparent export surplus of
135,0.0,000 bushels against exports last year
of 192,000,000 and the season before of 225,
000,000. ’
This year’s acreage of oats was never ex-
ceeded except in 1839, when over 865,000,000
bushels were grown on 27,460,000 acres com-
pared with 620,000,000 bushels on a slightly
smaller acreage this season. This is within
40,000,000 bushels of last year’s onutturn, and
just about an average of the previous three
crops.
Theusnal quantity of rye, buckwheat and
barley will be gathered. The supp!y of hay,
over 83,000,000 tons, and other foraze is
abundant. though mill feed and cotton
seed meal may be higher than last winter.
last year,
A reduced yield of heavy ieaf and plug
tobacco is assured, and the cigar leaf
crop of the Connecticut and Houstanic
values have been destroved by hailand
drouth. An advance in prices is ypre-
dicted.
Hops will mate a fair average yield in the
United States. Potatoes have felt the drouth
About 125,000,000 bushels are looked for—
slightly more than last year—compared to
245,000,000 bushels in the bountiful crop of
two years ago. Winter apples promise to
be in very scant supply at high prices, but
grapes are everywhere abundant.
The American Agriculturist
that “‘the prospect for prices in the early
fature depends more upon the monetary
situation than upon natural conditions, all
of which point to causes that should result
in higher prices.”
The hay crop is believed to represent a
value to the farmers of $£1,000,000,000. Corn
at 45 cents per bushel comes next with a
total of $725.000.000, followed by wheat
valued at $300.000,000, if worth 60 cents a
bushel, and by oats worth $185,000,000 i
valued at 30 cents on the farm.

BUSINESS GETTING BETTER.
The Improvement of Last Week Be
comes More Distinct and General.
The Failures Are Fewer.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s ‘Weekly Review of
Trade’ says: The improvement observed
last week has become much more distinct
and general. While actual transactions
have increased but little, the change in
public feeling is noteworthy. There are
fewer failures, either of banks or of import-
ant commercial or manufacturing concerns
than for some weeks past.
The Secretary of the Treasury has stated
that no legal objection exists to the use of
sight drafts on New York for small sums in-
stead of checks. The difficulty of collections
and the interruption of exchanges, how-
ever, are nearly as serious as ever.
The number of industrial establishments
resuming begins to compare fairly with the
number stopping work. Many resumptions
show that the stoppage was really tempor-
ary, or that wage controversies have been
settled.
Though currency is at a premium of 1
to 2 per cent.,the demand is less than a week
ago. Receipts of gold from Europe during
the past week have been £6,700,000, but the
Bank of England has raised its rate to 5 per
cent., which is expected to stop further
shipments of gold to this country, and the
Bank of France has lost during the past
week about $1,600,000. The absorp ion of
money has not yet ceased, and credit sub-
stitutes in use vet poorly supply its place.
The failures for the past week number
414 in the United States and 20 in Canaca.
Of the commercial failures in the United
States, 169 were in Iastern States, 65 in
Southern and 180 in Western.

ILLINOIS’S FAIR DAY,
Over 240,000 People Visited the White
City on Thursday.
The paid admissions to the World's Fair
on Thursday were 240,909. This large num-
per, the second largest in the history of the
Fair, was due to Thupsday being Illinois
day. The weather was pleasant and thous-
ands turned out to see the parade, which
opened the day’s festivities. The column
was headed by the State National Guard,
followed by inhabitants of Midway Plai-
sance in native costumes. In the main
ground the procession was joined by the
Italian marines, British so!diers and West
Point cadets.
Gov. Altgeld headed the parade, and at
its conclusion gave a reception, with his
staff in the Illinois building.

' EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
ree
THIRTEENTH DAY.
SrxaTE.—The silver debate was continued
until the hour of adjournment.
Houvse.—The debate on the silver question
occupied both the day and night sessions of
the house, with no action had when the
house adjourned.
FOURTEENTH DAY.
SExATE—Mr. Voorhees (Dem. Indiana)
Chairman of the Finance Committee, ad-
dressed the Senate in advocacy of the bill re-
ported by him last Friday discontinuing the
purchase of silver bullion. The speech was
listened to with the greatest interest and at-
tention. Nearly every Senator was in his
seat, and the galleries contained the largest
crowd of the session. At the con-
clusion of Senator Voorhees’ effort Mr.
Dubcisspoke in the interests of thesilverites,
Mr. Palmer argued in the support of repeal.
The bill was then laid aside and the Mon-
tana Senatorship case taken up, but on a
motion by Mr. McPherson it was laid aside
and the national bank bill considered. Mr,
Stewart antagonized the position taken by
Mr. Voorhees in a brief speech. A motion
was offered by Mr. Peffer, and went over
till to morrow, calling on the Secretary of
the Treasurv for a report as to whether
national banks in Bosten, New Yor< and
Philedelphia were being conducted in vie-
lation of law. After a short executive ses-
sion the senate adjourned.
House. —The silver debate was continued
until adjournment.
FIFTEENTH DAY.
SENATE.—Mr. Pasco (Dem), of Florida,
cave notice 1n the senate to-day of a substi-
tute to Mr. Vest’'s minority bill for silver
coinage at the rate of 20to 1. The substi-
tute proposes a comission of three citizens
of the United States to be appointed by the
president to ascertain and determine by the
first of January next a fair and just ratio
between the actual intrinsic value of silver
and gold as a basis for the {ree coinage of
silver. After the result is reported to the
secretary of the treasury, the weight of pure
and standard silyer to be contained in dol-
Jars, halves, quarters and dimes is
to be fixed and determined by bim,
and silver is to be coined. The
resolution offered vesterday by Mr.
Peffer calling on the secretary of the treas-
ary for information as to whether the na-
tional banks of New York, Boston and
Philadelphia were conducting their affairs
at present in violation ot law regarding the
amount of their reserve, the payment of
checks and the rates of interest charged
was then taken up on a motion to refer it
to the committee on finance, made by Mr.
Hoar, Rep., of Massachusetts. A number
of Senators talked on the subject and the
debate was the liveliest of the extraordinary
session. Mr. Hill undertook to draft some
modification of the resolution, but before
Le had completed it the morning hour ex-
pired and the resolution went over without
action. It tookits place on the calendar
where it can only be reached again in regu-
lar order or upon motion supported by a
majority vote. After some routine business
the senate adjourned.
Hovse—The silver debate was continued
during the entire day and night session,
without any definite action being taken,
when the House adjourned.
SIXTEENTH DAY.
Srexate—The great financial question was
debated until adjournment.
Hovsr—The noted silver debate was con-
tinued at both day and night sessions.
SEVENTEENTI DAY.
SENATE.—The speech made by Mr. Hill, of
New York, in the Senate to-day was re-
markable in many respects. The speech
occupied in its delivery a little over an hour
and a half and attracted close attention,
After a few introductory words Senator
Hill began by enumerating the causes
of the present distress. One is the panic
fear that falls upon nations every 20 years
and which no prudence will avert. Another
was the flooding of the money centers with
watered stock by personsin a haste to get
rich. A third has been overproduction and
an unfavorable balance of trade. A fourth
is the uneasiness of the protected industries,
A fifth was the concerted action of mo-
nometalists to disgrace and degrade silver.
A sixth is the Sherman silver purchase law.
As to the trouble caused by the fear of tar-
iff changes, he said, there is norelief for it
“unless the dominant party abandons its
principles and surrenders in advance to the
interests which were defeated at the last
election. The Democratic party is pledged
to tariff reform, and it must redeem its
pledge, come what may.” He adds that, of
course, there will be some friction, ‘‘but the
people perfectly undersfood the question
last fall, and they voted with their eyes
open. Our course is onward, and we
shall not retreat.” As to the
Sherman law, he said that no
one defends it and few apologize for it.
On the question of ratio he said that when
the policy of bi-metallism is definitely
settled it will be time enough to take up
that subject, He was of opinion, though,
that any change should be in the way of a
diminished ratio, as 15 to 1, which would
enable us to recoin at a profit and place our
silver pieces on a level with those of other
countries, He concluded his speech with
a criticism of the President's special
message as not explicit, and as leaving
the impression that he was aiming
to establish a single gold standard.
Upon the conclusions of Mr. Hill's speech
Mr. Stewart, Republican, of Nevada, spoke
on the silver question. He declared that
the bill of the Finance Committee was to
practically demonetize silver. No man
should be deceived on that point. The
promise in the bill was an insult to the in-
telligence of the Ameriean people. The
Sherman act had not been executed accord-
ing to its spirit. If it had been, 1t might
have done good; it certainly
would not have done harm. This
bill, Mr. Stewart ecxclaimed would
not pass. No Senator could vote for the
unconditional repeal of the Sherman act
without violating his pledges to his consti-
tuents. They had declared on all occasions
that they were bimetallists; but this bill
was monometallis™y. And when under it
the price of silver was brought down to 20
md 30 cents an ounce, there would be
nothing left for the people but torise in their
might and break the chains with which the
rold contractionists had bound them and
make their own money. It might not be
silver; it would not be gold. Notice was
ziven out that one or, the financial meas-
ares would be pressed to a vote next week,
und the Senate adjourned until Monday.
Hovse.—Nothing sensational transpired
in the house today. Aside from the speeches
by Messrs DBurrows and Springer, there
were none that commanded the attention
of the members, and after a dull session
the house adjourned
NTH DAY.
This was a day of giants in the
house, and all Washington arose early and
florked to the Capital to witness their
majestic play. There were in the arena
such men as Reed, of Maine, a gigantic
Saul a rong prophets; Bourke Cockran of
New York, marvel of orators; John Allen,
the Statesman of Tupelo, whose dry and
caustic wit and humor charm the imagina-
tion and provoke Jaughter;Bland.the apostle
of free coinage, whose rugged honesty of
conviction and vigor of expression command
the admiration of his opponcats.DeArmond,
the keen and incisive jurist of Missouri; the
weighty legal lignt of Texas, Judge Culber-
son; the scholastic free trade chairman of
theWays and MeansCommittee who prefers
to be a Congressman rather than a college
president, Mr. Wilson of West Virgina; the
polished Fellows, of New York, and the
impassioned prairie orator, Williams, of
Illinois. With such an array of talent, with
the promise of coruscations of genius, pas-
sages of purest English, jewels of studious
research and flights of inspired eloquence,
it is no wonder that tle scene in the Hons2
was one seldom paralelied in the
history of Congress. Sovice forbids giving
even a fait su nmary of what the eloquent
speakers said on both sides of the noted
subject, closing one of the most memorable
congressional debates of recent times, and
at its end the conviction is deepset that it
has been anything but a waste of time, but
that it will lead to action of lasting benefit
to the country. At the close of the debate
the House adjourned at a late hour Saturday
uight until Monday. :
DEATH’S WORK IN A FOG.
Fourteen People Killed and Many Bad:
ly Injured. Another Accident Causes
The Death of Six Peepla.
An accident that cost the lives of 13 people
occurred shortly after Sunday’ morning in
the village of Berlin, N. Y. The Long Is-
land train that left Manhattan Beach at
11:15 o'clock was overtaken by the train
that left Rockaway Beach 15 minutes
earlier. In the frightful collision that en-
sued the two rear cars of the five that made
up the Manhattan Beach train were demol-
ished and the middle car was overturned.
Hardly one of the scores of passengers
aboard these three cars escaped being hurt.
Following is a list of the dead:

Times;"” OscAr Dierzern, Mrs. MacGre DIgT

to Mr. Stein, care Mr. Goodwin, 838 Iuast
Fifty-second street, New York.
Very many people were more or less
seriously injured.
The accident happened at 12:30 a. m. The
Manhattan Beach train had been standing
in the block to allow another train ahead to
get at a safe distance. The Rockaway Beach
train came dashing along behind, ran into
the same bleck and crashed into the rear
end of the Manhattan Beach train. Both
were crowded with excursionists, and both
were the last trains from their respective
resorts.
RR
A WRONG TRAIN ORDER.
IT CAUSES A COLLISION AND THE DEATH OF SIX
PEOPLE.
By a mistake in orders two passenger
trains on the Harlem raiiroad cotlided head-
on 1 ear Brewsters, N. Y., on Sundav. Six
persons were killed. They were: Daniel
Palmatier, engineer; Samuel Gibney, fire-
man; William Elliot, engineer; Wilham
Best, fireman; Eleanor Reid, 19 years old,
daughter of Judge J. H. Reid, of Brewstess;
M. Friend, traveling salesman, of Pough-
keepsie. About a dozen more people were
more or less injured.

THE WORST STORM IN YEARS
—_——
ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST.
Over Four Hundred Vessels, Large and
Small, Wrecked Along the Shore,
While A Number Are Lost
and Many Lives Go
Down Wilh
Them.
EI
The most terrific and disastrous storm
that has swept the Atlantic coast for years,
began early Thursday morning and raged
until after daybreak. Many lives were
lost at sea, and the property destruction
on land and water will run into millions of
dollars.
Thousands of trees fell before the fury of
the gale, outhouses and small buildings
were destroyed and fences were leveled in
all directions. Crops in many sections are
ruined.
All along shore, from Indian Harbor, at
Greenwich, to Port Morris, N. Y,, the de-
vastation of the storm was apparent in the
destroyed piers, the flooded meadow lands
and the shore houses, whose first floors
were in most instances on a level with the
water.
The number of crafts blown ashore or
wrecked, it 1s estimated, will reach 400.
Most of them are pleasure boats, under 40
feet in length.
The rainfall in New York City duringthe
storm was over four inches, the heaviest
in the history of the weather observatory
there.
ON THE NEW ENGLAND COAST.
At Milford, Mass., very great damage was
done by the storm to grain and fruits, Barly
apples, pears,peaches and plums were blown
from the trees, and in. many cases the trees
were ruined. Whole fields of ripening corn
were leveled, At Fall river the wind blew
48 miles an hour. Heavy damage to corn
and tobacco crops was done in Harley and
Hatfield.
Four pontoons and a schooner went ashore
off Narragansett pier. All of the vessels
are a total loss and the diver, William Cool-
in, of Staten Island, was entangled in the
wreckage and drowned.
done to shipping. Ten vessels were driven
ashore and will be total losses.
At New Haven, Conn., the storm was the
worst in 40 years. More than 300 of New
Haven’s stately elms were toppled over and
broken. The damage to the harbor is the
greatest known in years.
The scene about Gray Gables was simply
grand. The exposed position of the Presi-
dent’s home gave the occupants a magnifi-
cent spectacle to look upon. The President
remained in doors all day.
FOUR SEAMEN DROWNED.
The storm all along the Jersey coast isthe
most terrific ever known. “he waves have
done hundreds of thousand dollars of
damages. At Asbury Park the greatest de-
struction “is recorded. There Fouuder
Bradley's famous board walk is almost a
complete wrece«. (Great gaps have been cut
into it every few hundred teet. Every one
otf the large and small pavilions are more or
less damaged, some of them being so com-
pletely demolished as to require” entire re-
building.
The Mary F. Kelly, a two masted fishing
schooner from New York, was wrecked at
Asbury Park, N. J. and four men drown-
ed. Those who perished were: Captain
Christopher Bratton of Brooklyn; First
Mate Charles Brown, of Greenpoint. L. L;
the steward and Harry Broden. The boat
ran ashore at the foot of Seventh avenue and
although within 20 feet of the boardwalk
the waves were so high thatit was impos-
sible for the men to reach shore,
CONEY ISLAND A WRECK.
Coney Island suflered severely by the
stor.r. The Marine railroad, running to
Manhattan Beech, is totally washed out. The
tide swept up nearly an eighth of a mile
from low water mar:. Atv West Brighton
Balmer's wammoth bathing pavilion is a
wreck.
Langecake's pavilion at Brighton is almost
entirely gone,only a vestige of it remaining.
All%the small buildings around Brighton
are more or Jess much damaged. Hotel
Brighton itseli is intact, but the beau'iful
lawn in front is more than half gone into
the ocean,
From Balmer’s bathing pavilion to Nor-
tons Point everything not on piles along
the beech front is gone. There ure probably
200 buildings that have been washed upon
the beech, destroyed and their contents lost
as irredeemably as by fire.
TWENTY FISHERMEN DROWNED.
The fishing schooners Empire State, with
a crew of 10 men,and the Ella Johnson, with
a crew of eight men, went down off’. Manas-
quan, on the Jersey coas', and all on
board were lost. These two vessels were in
company with the Chocorua when the storm
struck them and after beating around all
night in some of the worst weather ever
known off the coast; and with a loss of the
captain and her first mate, the Chocorua
tied up next day, the only survivor of the
three.
PEACH ORCHARDS DESTROYED.
The storm did thousands of dollars of
damage to farm crops in Central New Jer-
sey, especially peaches. All the peach trees
in William H. Grant's orchard at Middle-
town were blown down. He expected to
pick 5,000 baskets of peaches.
THE STORM COSTLY IN DELAWARE.
The loss to Delaware fruit growers by the
gale was enormous. . Thousands of baskets
of peaches and apples were blown from the
trees aud acres of corn were blown down.

heavy.
