FORECASTS 616 COTTON YIELD GOVERNMENT REPORTS ESTI. MATE OF 14,339,000 BALES. Washington. ? A cotton crop of 14. 339,000 equivalent 500-pound bales was forecast by the department of agrlcultur^ as this year's probable production. Should favorable conditions prevail from new until time o( picking and the quantity forecast materialize, the crop would be the third largest in cotton history. It would excfc<rd last year's crop by almost three-quarters of a v million bales. The prospective bumper crop 1b the result of rm-rxcfMingly large acre age, probably -the largest ever planted, and the favorable condition generally of the growing plants. There were 46,448.000 acres in cultivation June 25. Thut is 3.SG7.000 acres more than in cultivation a year ago. The increased ucreago is due to the planting of con alderable new land, substitution of cotton on land used last year for var ious other crops and the planting of land that was idle last year. In every state except Virginia. Missouri and Arizona the area exceeded last year's. The condition of the growing plants was better than a year ago every where except in Taxas. The average condition was 75.9 per cent of a nor mal. This is 4.7 points above the June 25 condition last ybar and 1.9 points above the 10 year June 25 average. In the last month thp crop as a whole declined 0.7 points as compar ed with a 10-year* average improve ment of 2.0 points. In Temis the de vline wue six points, whereas the usual improvement there is about three points. Rain iB badly needed for cot ton there. The area In cultivation June 25 (in thousands of acres) and the condition of the crop on that date by states follows : Virginia, acreage 96 and condition 83 per cent of a normal; North Caro lina, 2,183 and 77; South Carolina, 2,740 and 70; Georgia, 3.564 and 76; Florida 115 and 84; Alubauia, 3,425 and 79; Mississippi 3,424 and 88; Louisiana 1,916 and 81; Texas 18,237 and 64; Arkansas 3.649 and 87; Ten nessee 1,219 and 85; Missouri 503 and 90; Oklahoma 4,867. and 88: Callfor nl^'170 and 96; Arizona 163 and 92; New Mexico 139 and 88; all other "statOB 38 and 94; about 150,000 acres In Lower California (Old Muxico) are not Included in California figures, nor in the United States total.

SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA, i IS WRECKED BY SERIES OF I EARTH SHOCKS. j Sant.1 Barbara. Calif. ? A scries of J earthquakes .described by survivors i.us rocking and swaying the business J center of Santa Barbara as If it were I on a turbulent ocean, left the princl i pal structures of the Channel City a ! mass of debris and ruins. The loss of life was not large, due to the tremor occurring at 6.44 o'clock in the morn ing and also that the mass of ruins fell in the second earthquake some 15 j minutes after the first tremor. Estimates of the loss vary from j $3,000,000, a "conservative" figure by >| the city manager, to $30,000,000. a fig ure quoted by the city engineer. | Indications are ^that 12 lives were I lost , although this rests upon the re covery of several bodies asserted to be in the ruins. Mrs. Charles E. Perkins, widow of I the late railroad wizard, former presi dent of the Chicago, Burlington and Qulncy. was declared to be buried in the ruins of a section of the Arlington hotel. Manager A. L. Richmond said that he did not have the slightest hope that she escaped and debris was being removed to uncover the body. Man ager Richmond also believed that Ber trafh E. Hancock of Ix>s Angeles, was killed, his room having been above Mrs. Perkins and demolished. State street, the main thoroughfare, is a ghastly avenue of ruin, portions of Its most stately buildings being tumbled down, apd cornlceB, walls and fronts of practically all principal structures shattered down. The earthquakes contlniled all through the day. They menaced the water aupply by crashing out the dam of Sheffield reservoir, but a by pass has been established to a main reser voir back in the hills and water pro vided for the city. The terror-stricken 30,000 inhabi tants In most cases settled down to an emergency existence by noon, many of them living on the lawns. "I have been through 50 earth quakes, but never one like this be fore," said Manager Richmond of the Arlington hotel. "It Just took the hotel that we con sidered Btrong as a fortress and shook It back and forth as if it were a rag. "It was precisely as If one were at sea In a storm. One would not believe It were possible for a building to move t with such force in so many directions and apparently so limply as did the ' Arlington. I Not So Many Killed By Autos. Atlantic City. ?

The story of the fiscal year 1925. was told by the treasury In a review of its operutiona during the 1 12 months which ended June 30, shew ing total ordinary receipts of $3,780. 148.684.42 and total expeditures of $3. | 529,643,440.09 with the resulting sur 1 plus of $250,505,238.33. The statement of the treasury con ditions. carried an expression of Sec | retary Mellcn's conclusion that, due j to the processes of reorganization in I the last two years, "it Is believed that as a result of Its experience and de velopment. the treasury is today bet I ter organized and equipped to make | the Volstead act effective." ! This part of the review 'declared that plans for reorganization of pro hibition enforcement were rapidly ap proaching completion and told of the work done in this connection In the coast guard, customs division and pro hibition unit of the treasury. The surplus far the year afforded treasury officials great satisfaction being almost four times the amount forecast last October and $50,000,000 higher than the figure President Cool Idge gave in his address at the semi annual budget meteing only a little over a week ago. Officials offered no explanation for the unexpected rise in the amount, let ting the figure speak for Itself Obser vers suggested, however, that better i business conditions were reflected in the total and insisted that some of the 1 increased revenue had resulted frAm unleashing of capital to productive ! enterprise through the lowering of sur taxes along with the general tax revis [ ion of a year ago. . ! The year's operations accomplished ! a reduction of $734,619,101.59 in the public debt and here, too, the esti mates previQusly made were exceeded, j for in none of them had the treasury 'expressed a belief thai a reduction of more than $700,000,000 could be effect- j ed. As a result of nation's outstand ing obligations stood at $20,516,193, 887.90 when the books were closed. I The treasury gave as "interesting" a list of comparisons of Its estimates, made a year u?o with the actual flg ! ures shown when the operations of | the twelve month period were conclud ed. Customs receipts were $547,561, 226.11. or within one half of one per cent of the estimate. They were also within a few hundred thousand dol lars of the total collections on Im- , ports in the fiscal year 1924. Miscellaneous taxes returned $828. 638,079.90 to the treasury and this amount had been accurately forecast. Income taxes yielded $1,760,823.68, about six per cent or more than $100, 000,000 above the amount estimated fast July. Ford Bids on 200 U. S. Ships. Detroit. ? Henry Ford told the Asso ciated Press that he has entered a bid for the 200 ships of the shipping board fleet and that the bid is in the mails. I "There was no misunderstaning of dates on my part." Mr. Ford said, in I denying that such was the cause for the failure of the board to receive a bid from him when they were opened two days ago. Mr. Ford did not divulge the size of his bid nor its specifications and : attempts to obtain the Information from members of his engineering and i technical staff met with failure. I Only one firm submitted a bid to tho shipping board for the entire fleet of 200 ships, the BoBton Iron and Metal company bidding $1,370,000. Several other Arms bid for p'ortions of the fleet some of them with the under standing that if their bid was accept ed that they would be allowed to sell parts of the ships which they could salvage.

GETS CARGO OF DRIED EGGS COMMERCE BETWEEN U. 3. AND OTHER COUNTRIES SHOW UN. USUAL CARGOES. Washington. ? Studies of ocean borne commerce between the United I States and other countries by the bu- I reau of joHcnrch of the shipping board have d'sclosed various new services I and unusual cargoes. "Among these recently noted," the bureau said "is the trade in raw cotton between gulf ports and Mur mansk. Russia, starting last year with a few scattering cargoes and increas ing to 10 full cargoes up to the end of May this year. Another evidence of developing Rus sian trade was the movement of three | full cargoes of agricultural imple ments which left New York in three i successive months of spring for Odes- j sa and Novorosslck, one of these ship ments Including 21,000 tons of Ameri can tractors. "A Canadian milling company also shipped recently In a single Russian ' order some 164.000 tons of ffour in 34 ships, of which 28 left from American j ports. M sailing from New York, five from Baltimore, one from Philadelphia | and one from Portland. Maine. | "Another shipment of a nature to attract attention was a single consign- J ment of 3,450 tons of dried prunes, j which left San Francisco during the j past winter for Hamburg, Germany. "Imports also develop occasional J add cargoes, as a shipment of 3.000 ! tons of dried eggs recently received j in New York from China, and a full I cargo of hard molasses packed in baskets which arrived in Philadelphia j from Java, for use in the manufacture alcohol. "The whaling industry is frequently referred to as a thing of the past, but j seven cargoes of whale, oil have been 1 received in this country during the current year. "Five of these came to New York from the various island groups locat- ' ed in the south Atlantic ocean in the vicinity of Cape Horn. The other two originated off the west coast of Mexl- j co and were delivered in San Fran- i clsco and Seattle." Total Savings Deposits Increase. Washington^? The aggregate sav- j ings deposits reported by 890 banks j distributed throughout the United States wero $7 829,130.000 June 1, compared with $7,790,730,000 May 1. and $7,31 1,316,000 June 1. 1924, the federal reserve board reported. The board reported further that no significant changes occurred dining May. all districts showing small in- i creases except the Minneapolis d is- ' trict, which ^pports a slight decline. : A comparison of savings deposits June 1. 1925, with a month and a year I previous is shown by federal reserve districts in a table) issued by the board.

Th* nlsne CROP PROSPECTS NOT SO BRIGHT FIFTH RESERVE DISTRICT RE VIEW POINTS OUT WEAK SPOTS. ^Richmond. ? Crop prospects In tho fifth federal -reserve district are "high' ly problematical" and prospects for the near future depend upon weather conditions, according to the monthly review of business and agricultural conditions in the fifth district made public by the Richmond federal re serve bank. The summary of crop conditions de clares that fruit prospects appear con siderably worse than a year ago, the tobacco outlook is not promising and the weevil is seriously menacing the cotton crop in South Carolina and much of North Carolina. Truck crops, especially Irish potatoes, .ire turning out below early indications and the hot. dry weather has cut the early hay yield very seriously, it was stated. Conclusions on the business situa tion In the fifth district at the middle of June are difficult to draw, conflict ing testimony being much evidenced, said the review. In an ngrrcrrH-trral section like the fifth district, much de pends upon crop prospects, but at the present writing these prospects arc highly problematical. Karly farm work was done from 10 days to two weeks earlier this year than usual, but dry weather in April, cold weather and frosts in May. and hot. dry weather during the first half of June delayed seed germination and plant develop ment to such an extent that much of the early start was lost." Husiness failures in the fifth dis trict in May exceeded failures in May, 1924, in both number and liabilities. Textile mills have begun reducing their output as forward orders are caught up. The volume of construc tion work is showing signs of falling off here and there in the district, and the volume of retail and wholesale trade In May was somewhat below the business done in May, 1924, according to the review. On the othor hand, it was pointed out, debts to individual account figures show that a larger volume of business Is passing through the banks of the leading trade centers than was the case a year ago. Labor continues well employed and some improvement has recently been reported in the coal fields of the fifth district. Corn and other grain crops are doing well and promise relief from the feed shortage on the farmB. Hank deposits are in creasing. Railroad Men Take Out Insurance. New York ? The largest single group insurance plan on record, involving more than 4T>, 000 employes and $150. 000,000 In protection went into opera tion on three southern railways which jointly adopted the plan.
