1-iko the similar report i/sued a

led to' expect, and the speculative

sufllfcicnt to "discount" tho worat

weather now would substantially im
prove the,outlook
The Government estimate on wheat
acreage and condition on June 1 indl-..
eaten a production of fi^fi.OOO^OO
l.'Usholi?, a yield Which had never been
reached until ion years -ago, and _
v> I?ifli fails only about 5,000,000,
buahels short of tho ten years' avor
ago. Considering tho large amount
carried over from last* year's crop ,we
should havo a very comfortable sur
plus for export In the event of a Eu
ropean shortage creating a sharp de
mand.
tu recent years, howover, wo havo
raised comparatively littlo more
wheat than was needed ffor homo con
sumption, and with no future im
provement in conditions tUfe4*4#M in
dleated by tho Juno report will more
than sufllce for that. Our annual
wheat crop in value ranks below hay
and cotton rtnd la only half that of
corn. t
Trade, like tho crops, has been
chilled and hold back by tho unsea
sonably cold spring, but it neverthe
less seoms healthful and ready to ex
pand In response to the,^arrival of o
littlo genial warmth, ann meanwhile
thorc Beenis to be no che.ck In indua-r._I
trial activity. Tho usual cvitoria of
railway earnings, bank clearings and
commercial statistics are favorable.
Many railways report largely in
creased trafllc receipts. j

The comparative stringency Of
money, which had a retarding effect
on trade, has had a good effect In
checking venturesome speculative en
terprise in many directions. Credit
for all legitimate demands Is in good ^
supply, and discount rates liave not
boon affected by the outflow of some
ten millions gold to Europe.
This efflux, in fact, is mainly due
to the comparative ease of money
hero as compared with the fates pre
vailing abroad, In consequence of .
which bankers have been unwilling .
to draw bills against foreign bal
ances, and therefore .the specie was
remitted. The reserves of-the city ,
banks are low, but if seasonable pre
cedent holdp there should be an In
flux of five Jo ton millions from the -
interior to this centre during the next
two weeks1.""**"-?Vi
While the protracted and ^world
wide-depression in the markets fop"
securities has been caused to some
extent by the higher rates for money*
the main cause appears to have been
fear of legislation adverse to vested
intereits. When investor* are afraid
to buy securities selling f?r below
their value as measured by the return
for money in fhe world's markets
speculative spirit la paralysed. Thia
cloud now seems to be lifting.
A survey, of the situation in the
United States discloses no cauae for
discouragement. If the dispensers of .
woather will only now give ua^two t>r
three months of warm Bunshine it
will stimulate everything. Condi
lions are sound, and while there is
still a chill in the air, tho country Ip
doing very well, thank you.
