BANKER CLEWs' VIEWS.
Review of the Situations, and Fore
east From Wall street.

New York June 5.-The general symp-
toms developed in Wall street during the
past week have been the most hopeful fea-
lures witnessed for many months past.
without any special stimulus or speculat-
i've effort, there has been a marked revival
of buying operations, and, with few ex-
ceptions, an advance in prices throughout
the exchange list There has been an ex-
tenslve settlement of short accounts,
without any attempt at compulsion from
the "bull" side; and, although that has
been one cause of the advance in quota
tons. yet the rise has been equally due to
an increase of outside buying, and a gen.
eral gain of buoyancy OF tone.
1t is not difficult to trace the causes Of
this recovery. II comes from a favorable
drift in a variety Of conditions which lie
at the root of the value of securities.
Among these influences may be mentioned
a generally satisfactory progress in the
crop prospects Although the weather
has been cold and ungenial for the last
ton days, with the effect Of arrestng the
blade growth OF the cereal crops. yet the
check has been unattended with any in
Jury, and has laid the foundation for a
better 'ater development of the plant
and probably also an Increase OF the yield
Also, Il is notable symptom that sew
cral persons OF cminence and directly la
touch with the farming interest and the
larger industries have simultaneously ex-
pressed their views on the business out
look ln unexpectedly hopeful terms. Mr.
Thomson. president of the Pennsylvania
railroad. Mr.. Gould OF the Missouri Pa
cinc, Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew and Mr.
c.. l.. Huntington. who are among the
foremost representatives of the railroad
interest IN different sections OF the coun-
try, have uniformly expressed sanguine
expectations ls TO the general outcome Of
the harvest and the prospects OF business
at large. Similar estimates OF the drift
OF the crops and Of business have been
made by Mr.. Andrew Carnegie. Hon. Ros-
well T. Flower and Mr.. Hh. president OF
the Great Northern. Such a body OF opln-
ion. coming from men possessing the best
sources OF knowledge as to conditions
and movements. very naturally has an

Chicago stock is running low. Logically,
the position of wheat is healthy. but much
depends upon the whims and humors of
the speculative trade. We may expect to
see considerable fluctuations during the
next few months.
Corn was firmer on Jess favorable crop
prospects; closed Sac higher at 25hc for
September. Commission houses are gen
orally predicting lower prices, but it seems
foolhardy to sell corn short at such eX-
IRENE low-water prices, when the crop
may turn out failure. Buying it would
appear the more reasonable course.
Provisions continued dull and weak. No
support or relief seems yet at hand.
