THE CONDITION OF srsINEss,

The prevailing dullness in trade is in
creasing as the end Of the year APP
proaches; but there is still one article
that is dealt in after the fashion of for
mer and buster years. We refer to corn.
The crop, it is now thought, is both poor
in quality and deficient in quantity.
The agricultural department puts the
crop at 1917 millions as against 1917
millions last year and l7lT millions in
the census year. The consumption Of
the country will call for every bushel OF
the new crop, and We will have to look
to the surplus of last years crop for the
AZ million bushels that We exported last
year. We can probably spare that
many bushels, but we cannot spare
much more, and it is even doubtful,
when the quality Of the crop is eonsid-
cred, whether We can produce enough
pork to meet all home and foreign de-
mands.
The wheat, corn and cotton crops are
ali relatively deficient. This would not
be 8 serious matter if high prices pre-
vailed, but the producers have to face
short crops and low prices st once. 1t
is estimated that the value Of the
wheat, corn and oats grown this year is
1912 millions, as against 2,lTS millions
last year. The difference of 56l mil
lions represents the difference between
the condition OF trade at this time and
IFS condition in November Of last year.
