Corn is made for this year, in all excepting the
extreme Northwest, and it Is now possible 10
estimate, with considerable accuracy, the re-
suit. The Cincinnati Price Current, which on
wheat has proven itself the mOsr accurate au-
thoritY, makes it as follows: an me Western
States there will be "a gain of $4,000, 900 bush
els, but in the South, and else where, it will lie
about an equal amount short, so that the entire
crop promises nearly the same as last wear. In
many sections of Indiana, Illinois and Iowa the
growth is backward, partly owing TO the use of
iced from the West, which is late In maturing
The estimates show about Is per cent. decrease
per acre over last year, which is compensated
by an increased acreage sOwn. The increase in
Indiana is 3 per cent, Illinois 10 per cent, Iowa
Is per cent, Missouri > per cent, K ,nsas so
per cent, Nebraska 10 per cent, Texas Is per
cent. The decrease is IN the Southern States.
The great corn States of the middle section,
which made the poorest showing with wheat,
give this wear the largest increase In corn, the
crop upon which, move than any other, depends
the prosperity of the section. SO that, so lar as
productions 20, they Will be in nearly as good
condition to supply business TO the railroads,
and assist in the general activity. AS they were
last year. But its effect on the price of wheat is
one of continued depression, for not only corn.
but oats, rye, potatoes ana hay nave yielded Il
phenomenal crop, and the demand for wheat,
which in pad years must assist largely To sup
ply the deficiency i'll other grain, Will be limited
to the milling requirements. Potatots, which
enter most largely into competition win wheat
as human food, are so plentiful and cheap that
they viii take the place OF wheat TO a very large
