trial and commercial outlook, the Chicago

There has been no dimjnution in the promis-
ing signs of the past month more. The out
look in all directions has grown steadily more
favorable each succeeding week of the summer
Commodities have been more freely manufac-
tured and distributed because the people have
asked for themSand have had the money to pay
for what they wanted at current prices
Values haYe but rarely shown any decided
tendencies 10 abnormal appreciation, and sur
plus stocks have been reduced to n healthy
relative equality to actual consumptive needs
Even in speculative circles "kite-hyng" on
reckless discounting of future business has been
but moderately INDUCED in and the result is n
pronouncedly wholesome general situation OF
affairs at the commencement OF the fall season

tional Department of Agriculture shows a
better yield of spring wheat than was expected
month ago. The Improvement is in the
northern belt-Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Da-
| kota- In Nebraska there has been decline,
in Iowa little change The general average is
| 81, an increase of four points. The average
yield of the crop, so far as the results of the
spring are reported, exceeds IL bushels, and
may reach IL bushels per acre. The entire
wheat product will apparently exceed that
of last year by 100000 to 80, 600, =
600 bushels. The exact determination
of area harvested and results of thresh-
| ing are easily equivalent to varia-
| ton of at least two per cent Corn has de-
clined from 81 in August to a. The cotton
returns show vigorous condition of the plant,
with lateness and deficiency in fruiting. With
a long and favorable autumn it indicates an
average crop. The results of threshing make
the condition of oats at harvest 81, a small re-
duction from earlier expectation The average
of barley is 93-indicating an average crop.
| The condition OF tobacco averages 81. The
numbers of fattening hogs are apparently less
by about six per cent, with some reduction In
average weight
