The crop report was scanned with a
large attention. The document gives q
high condition for spring wheat and a
good corn crop outlook, Though the
yield or corn Will not approximate the
phenomenal one of last year. This good
report WAS supplemented by gossip from
the West to the effect that the railroads
are more and more sanguine of an immense
grain business, and are making all prepa-
rations for it, AS is often seen in the
market, however. these very favorable re-
ports did not cause the granger stocks
to rise They Jagged behind and even
showed weakness. The theory is that
the good news had been discounted as
everybody had expected it. However,
this does not prevent the ultimate .cccSs

Senator Morgan Is going to Hawaii ir

He will make thorough study. and the
information he acquires will be used 20

He is the best-informed man as to Ha.

He replied that he had no means of know

than any citizen had, but that he regarded

and patriotic man, who would do the proper
thing when he thought the time had come
to act.

he placed it out of the right of any one tc
