Business Outlook as Reported by Schwartz
Dupee & Co.

CHICAGO, ILL, Nav 1G, 1895
Corn and provisions have the last few
days developed in such strength as to
have completely eclipsed wheat in the
speculative market here. In respect OF
corn the most sensational reports are
being received by Schwartz, Dupee {,
Co., who have been making thorough
investigation of the subject. Chief
among these are statements from every
section of the corn belt that the plant
ing time has thus far been most
unfavOrable, and in view of the
continued cold and wet weather the
outlook is anything but promising
One man in Kansas writes: "a year
ago this time we were cultivating corn ;
now it is not vet planted " From other
sections come similar statements, and
there can be no doubt that the concen-
sus of opinion III the country is that
corn Will prove poor crop. Another
vital point is hat of reserves in farmers
hands. Investigation relating thereto
is now in progress and thus far goes to
show that the estimates have been far
too high. Then again there are many
who question the accuracy Of the
government report on last years crop.
insisting that it makes the yield at least
p per cent. too great. This world seem
probable from the facts that deliveries
at primary points are not what they
should be if the government estimates
were correct. The visible supply of
corn decreased 2,50O,O bu. last week,
or over twice as much as during the
corresponding period in 1897.
Provisions have bad good advance
but nothing to what the bulls predict.
They call attention to the fact that our
stocks of lard, ribs and pork are small
while the foreign demand continues
unabated. This they argue, means
there must be an immediate rise of
even greater proportions than that
which has already occurred.
