Bulgarian Action. As in Greece, public opinion in Bul- is not ‘entirely unanimous in port of King Ferdinand, and re- ports indicate that the Bulgarian mobilization is not being carried_out without difficulty. The king and Pre- mier Radoslavoff, however, have final- 1y thrown in their lot with Austria, Germany ana ' Turkey, having, atter consultation with the ministers of those countries, rejected the demands of Russia for the dismissal of the Aus- tro-German officers who, it is alleged, have been engaged to command the Bulgarian army. Bulgaria, in fact, de- nled_the presence of such'officers, and the Russian, British, French and Ital- ian ministers have ‘either left or are leaving Sofia. Italy has taken action also by giving the Bulgarian minister Tts. at Rome his passpo; it is possible that Bulgaria may avold arousing the Greek people by from attacking Serbia, sim- ply, her troops on the border. This would have the effect of prevent- ing Serbia from bringing her full to bear against the Austro- German attack. Rumania 8till Neutral. Rumania, the other Balkan state, is still neutral. Rumania has not been heard from, but, like Greece, for the moment is bent ‘on remaining friendly with all the belligerents.

Panama, Oct. 7.—The Panama canal will remain closed until all danger of serious slides in the Gaillard eut has passed. Major General George W. Goethals, governor of the canal zone, today issued orders to the ‘dredging engineers to bLlast away the tops of the hills in order to bring imto the channel all loose dirt and thus per- mamently ‘'remove the source of the slides. General Goethals was unable to say when the canal would again be in condition for the passage of ships, but said he would leave November 1st, the date to which the canal has been officially closed, unchanged. General Goethals, however, express- ed the personal opinion that the canal would be closed much beyond that date. There would be no effort to maintain a temporary channel for the use of a few ships. When the canal was reopened, tine governor said, it would be with a permanent channel through the cut, even if this work should take the remainder of the year. gamwxsllhedm‘-:tzmedrm g eam. shovel o ons will not be resumed. - GEN.

They charge that the incident occurred 40 miles off Lundy, on August 19, while the Nicosian was enroute to Liverpool. According to the story the submarine was shelling the Nicosian when the Baralong, which they said had been fiying the American flag, came up and sank her. When the captain and four of the submarine climbed aboardl the Nicosian, the afdavits assert, they were killed by British marine: ‘who also shot six of the submarine’ crew struggling in the water.

A member of the Morgan firm was a thority for the statement that not- withstanding the fact that the unde: writers' books had been closed two days ago, applications were still com- ing in for the bonds from the west and middle west. Whether these be- lated applications would be given ad- ission to the synudicate was not in- dicated.

With' the wheat crop exceeding a billion bushels, the largest ever produced in one season by any nation, and a corn crop which also may prove to be the largest ever known, the government's October crop report, issued today, announced pre- liminary estimates with indications of record harvests of oats, barley, rye, &weet potatoes, rice, tobacco and hay. Corn Crop Worth $2,133,000,000. Corn stijl is king of crops, with in- dications of 3,026,159,000 bushels. While' this is 98,000,000 bushels below the rec- ord of 1912, the final production, when the harvest is finished and all statis- tics complled, may more than make up the difference. The higher prices this year assure the most valuable crop of corn ever known. At prices to farm- ers prevailing Oct. 1st, the corn crop is worth $2,133,000,000. 1,002,029,000 Bushels of Wheat. Wheat prospects increased as the growing season progressed and day’s preliminary estimates of produc- tion was placed at 1,0002,029,000 bush- els. Wet weather at harvest time, how- ever, reduced the quality of winter wheat so that much of it will not be avaflable for milling purposes and will have to be used for feed. At prices prevailing Oct. 1st, the farm value of the crop is $910,844,000, considerably more than ever was paid for a wheat crop before. September Bad for Potatoes. September weathgr was particularly destructive to potatoes, causing a re- duction of 37,758,000 bushels, or 10 per cent, im the forecast of production. Tobacco also suffered from unfavorable conditions, which caused a decrease of 21,345,000 pounds in the production forecast. Tobacco, however, promises to exceed the record crop of 1909 by 43,000,000 pounds. Oats Will Exceed Record. Oatsy will exceed the record crop of |l.’"~, by almoat 100,000,000 busheia. Har.
