We write thk paragraph on Friday, July 12, and it must be confessed that the hot weather k causing a great deal of apprehension in different localities of the west, notably portions south of the latitude of Kansas City, even parts of northern Kansas and northern Missouri now suffering severely. The truth of matters comes to the light in the sales at the stock markets. A summary by the Kansas City Star contains one hopeful paragraph in the gloomy outlook, and that is: Fortu nately Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois are sending fsrmers to buy the stock and move them farther north. Not many calves and stock-cattle are sent to the slaughter house." The maximum temperature Friday last for Lincoln and southern hal! of Ne braska dropped two degrees to 101. At Beaver City, Friday waa the nineteenth successive day mat me temperature naa been 100 degrees or over. Sunday, the report from Topeka, Kan sas, was: "The weather in Kansas con tinued very not today, the highest tem perature reported being 110 degrees, at Fort Scott. The heat waa accompanied by a very light breeze from the south, which came as from a red hot furnace, blasting-and withering vegetation of all kinds. A careful perusal of crop reports from all parts of the state indicates that Kan sas will not raise more thsn 50,000,000 bushels of corn thk year. The crop will thus be less than a third of last year's yield and less than a fifth of 1899. The late corn k all that will yield any thing, the early product being given up more than two weeks ago. Late corn is just half as high as it usually k by this time of year. The fact k proving its salvation. If it had attained its growth it would have gone soon after the early oora. The fact that there has been no good rain for three months has retarded the late corn until it k no higher than it usually k in May.
