The Crop Prospects and Values.

A general survey Of the crop pros.
poets. north and south, east aud west,
must lead the careful observer to tho
conclusion that they are unusually
favorable. The grain louise. now in.
sect. has appeared in Illinois and Ohio,
and is doing considerable damage.
Even the army worm. peculiarly q
southern insect, has advanced as far
north us central Indiana. We hear of
it in no other state north of the Ohio
river.
But the rain and tho showers have
been SO refreshing and so terminating
in all sections Of tho country that it
would not be n surprise if tho grain crop
of 1899 reached the vast aggregate OF
1854, which was the largest ever rails.
cd in the United States.
Corn is everywhere backward, OK.
ccpt in Kentucky, Kansas. Missouri
and Nebraska, but it has a good stand,
and the hot days of July and August
will make it leap from the ground.
The rains have had the effect of grow.
ing an immense amount of weeds, but
the cultivator will soon cut down these
troublesome concomitants OF a luxuri-
ant season. Oats, in every state ex-
cept kentucky. is spoken of as an ex-
traordinary crop, and as for grass, no
such harvest was ever before on the
ground.
One curious feature of the crop
promise is that though prices of pro.
duce are very low and likely to remain
so, the prices of railway shares and
securities, and likewise of real estate
in the cities, are firmcr. The railways
will have more to carry, and that
must aid them. But it is an anomaly
that while agriculture, which is con-
sidered tho basis OF all our industries.
is seriously depressed, real estate in
tho cities should continue SO firm.
Before the war, when tho prices for
produce were high, real estate in the
cities was co"respondingly affected;
and when produce went down with a
smash real estate rates were checked.
But now, when produce is lower than
at any time in the history of the coun-
try, city real estate seems not at all
disturbed by the extraordinary depres.
