COTTON COOP IS
AFFECTED BT
NEW YORK, Aug. 31—The cotton
market experienced a small panic yes
terday afternoon when the report of
the government statisticians was
made public showing that the cotton
crop for the current year would be
only 62 per cent of the normal. The
condition of the growing crops is not
of the best and while the decrease in
acreage is small if any, yet adverse
weather conditions will greatly restrict
the harvest.

IDE HEAT

LOS ANGELES,’ Aug. 31—Old Sol
broke all the heat records for the year
in this section of the country yester
day when the thermometer climbed
and climbed until it reached 97. The
humidity was heavy also and the peo
ple of this city spent an uncomfortable
day. The unprecedented hot wave is
all over the surrounding country in
sharp contrast to the extremely cold
weather reported along the Atlantic
and middle western states. The wea
ther bureau predicts that the present
hot wave will have only a local appli
cation, and says that relief should ar
rive tomorrow in the shape of cooling
winds

BIS AFFECTING
THE WHEAT
CHOP
CHICAGO, Aug. 31—The past sum
mer has been the coldest and wettest
ever experienced in this section. The
rain has been almost continuous and
the cold weather of the past few days
has been the most unseasonable ever
known in the annals of the weather
bureau. The whole lake district is
suffering from the bad conditions,
and an early winter is expected and
freely predicted.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 31—The wea
ther bureau maps show that the un
usual cold wave is spread over all the
northern states from the Rockies to
the Atlantic. West of the Rockies the
conditions are normal with the excep
tion of southern California which is
sweltering in a heat wave. The cold
weather runs as far south as the Gulf
States and it is feared the growing
crops will be considerably damaged.
TOPEKA, Aug. 31—The heavy rains
which the wheat country have experi
enced the past summer means that the
Kansas farmers will suffer losses
running into the millions of dollars on
this year's wheat crop. It is now
figured that the total wheat output for
the state for this year will not run
over 98,000,000 bushels which is a
decrease of 40,000,000 bushels from
the July estimates.

SUGAR CROP OF
YEAR
HAVANA, Cuba, Aug. 31—Expecta
tions now run high that Cuba's sugar
crop will reach the unprecedented fig
ure of four million tons and will not
improbabbly considerably exceed that
figure. The planting of additional
acreage on a great scale, the fact that
owing to the unseasonable rains of
last season it was impossible tq cut a
large proportion of the cane and that
this will be ground at the close of the
coming season, and reports that the
growing crop is doing splendidly, com
bine to justify the high estimates.
With this goes an unprecedented im
portation of sugar making machinery
for the equipment of the numerous new
mills in ail parts of the island.
