ca say to-day in their weekly review
of trade:
Failures for the week have bean go
in the United States against et1 last
year and So in Canada against "a last
year.
Speculative reaction has not the
least changed the business. outlook
The fictitious price made for wheat
and cotton meant no good except for
individuals. and the change il prices
nearly in accord with actual re
lations of demand and supply, only
conforms 90 condftionS which have
been known for months. .
The attacks on stocks on Wednesday
was SO plainly artificial that its infiu.
ence passed with the day and neither
in foreign relations nor in. domestic
business was there any thing to JUS
tify ALARM.
The government report as to wheat
indicated much smaller yield than
anybody really expects, bat that has
become so much the rule that the re-
port had no real influence and the
principal effect was the serious depre-
citation caused by large sales in antici.
patton of the report, which seemed 20

some. speculators. The government
estimate as to cotton was unexpect-
edly favorable, and has caused de-
cline of more than half a cent in ..
single week.
Railroad earnings for the first week
of June were Al per cent. larger than
last year.
It is not the time TO look for marked
Improvement in industries. and the
best thing that can he said Of them is
that none have as yet been seriously
disturbed by threatened labor difficuls
ties. 1t seems not improbable ,thatall
such difficulties. may b. .ayefted, ex-
cept, perhaps, tn controversy about
wages of iron puddlers and tin plate
workers. Markets are extremely duh,
because great number of orders fer
finished products are kept back by un-
certainty regarding the maintenance
of prices by the various pools and COM
tendency is toward lower prices
The demand for boots and shoes.
seems slightly better notwithstanding
an advance of 2111 cents per pair is de-
mandeG on some staple qualities. The
textile manufacturers are making NO
Improvements. The accumulation OF
cotton goods continues. Print. cloths
have declined to the lowest point ever
reached and a general stoppage to re-
lieve the market is expected. Sales Of.
wool in two weeks of june have been
emily 5, ,s23, 600 pounds, against 15,562.-
600 pounds last year, and no gain is
expected in the manufacture for some
time to come.

In the Atldntlc states, In spite OF tno
dry weather in early spring. the crop
is a little earlier than usual. Poor
stands, on account of drought, are re.
ported from two counties in North and
South Carolina and seven counties in
Georgia. But the crops are in fine con-
dition as respects both cultivation and
growth throughout this region. In
Florida the crop is late and stands are
poor on account of the excessive
drought. In Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee and
Indian territory the crop is not very
early. but stands are good and out.
look promising for a full crop. In a
few localities, however, there are re.
ports of damage by worms and lice.
In Texas the conditions have been
less favorable than in the Atlantic and
gulf Estates. The cold and damp
weather at seeding time not only
makes crops late, but has resulted in
infesting many fields in large area in
the southwestern part of the state with
all manner Of insects, doing damage to
the plant. A considerable improve
ment, however, has been made' with
in the past month. First paintings

counties the stands are good and give

Acreage of Wheat and Percentages OF
Areas Harvested.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE acreage
of wheat and percentages of areas
harvested last year have been obtained
from a greatly enlarged list Of corre-
spondents, inquiries being addressed
in particular to 5000 of the principal
millers throughout the country, to
whose careful comparison of present
acreage with that of previous years
many corrections of the preliminary
estimate of December last are due.
There has been some diminution Of
winter area, owing to the total failure
of the crop in some sections, the
ground being plowed up for spring
wheat or oats
These returns reduced to acreage
give for the PRINCIPAL winter states:
California, 3,O11, ZOO; Kansas, 1854. 0OO;
Ohio, 2, 422 900; Indiana, s,294, 900; -Illi-
nois, 1,9O6, 600; Missouri, 1,41S,0 600;
Pennsylvania, 1925, 600; Michigan, l.
2O2, 900; total winter area, a3, 794, 900.
Spring wheat and oats: Minnesota.
3,2OO,O 200; North Dakota, 2,h3O, 600;
South Dakota, 2,463, 900; Nebraska, l..
224. 600; total spring area, II ,s2s 900.
From Minnesota the department
agent reports much larger area than
in 1895, partly owing to the plowiA9
up Of fields of winter wheat andrye,
but principally to the fact that farm.
ers increased the spring wheat area at
the expense of other crops, consider.
ing it better investment than oats,
rye or corn. Since the May report the
condition of winter wheat has fallen
4. 8 per cent, that of June being "a. Q,
against s2.7 on May 1. The percent
