Prices of railroad stocks are now
from five TO fifteen points higher thail
they were a year ago, but in the meah-
time dividend rates have in many eases
been increased and extra dividends Gus
bursed. The worlds available supply OF
breadstuffs is not materially greater
that it was a year ago. but this country
is assured of the largest crop in ITS
history and the crop of the worM cannot

of wheat is in consequence held back
and farmers are not bringing the now
crop forward. thus keeping down the
earnings Of the grain carrying roads.
Nevertheless railroad companies are
making extensive preparations to hlndlc
a large grain and merchandise traffic
during the coming fall and winter. The
situation seems to hinge largely upon the
price of wheat, or rather upon the grain
