Chicago Correspondence:

the last two years, was on an extensive
scale, and values for many Of these rose
to a materially higher level. In only
few instances were there any signs OF
manipulation on the part of 'insiders"
or cliQues of market operators. The buy
ing came for the most part from the
commission houses, and seems to have
been largely for the account of people
well posted as TO the condition, earnings
and prospects of these corporations.
Reports from the principal trade and
manufacturing centers are of a favorable
character and furnish abundant explana-
ton for this revival of interest in the
securities included in the industrial"
group. From all sides steadily increas-
ing activity in the leading lines is re-
ported. Phe capacity or the mills is be-
ing tested, and prices ere being well
maintained. Goods are going into actual
consumption, and still there is no slack
ening of the demand.
The tendency of the money market has
been toward an easier condition, but the
approach of the crop-moving season
seems to make it doubtful if there will
be any material decline in rates from
the present level in the next few mouths
Foreign exchange, however, is showing
marked weakness
The Government report on the condi
ton of crops, issued Thursday afternoon,
created diversion in favor of bulls in
the wheat market. Prices previous to
its publication had been inclined down
ward but the present condition of spring
wheat being interpreted to indicate de-
nciency compared with last year Of about
60,O00,O0O bushels, spectators took
different view of the situation, and in
thirty minutes Friday afternoon the price
of wheat recovered all it had lost in two
weeks. The Government estimates of
the yield of winter and spring wheat
make their combined shortage, compared
with the official figures of the previous
year, 115,000O00 bushels. There is no
suggestion Of low prices for wheat in
these figures.
While comparatively high prices for
wheat are almost a foregone conclusion.
therefore, bearing in mind the failure of
the crops in southeastern Europe. the
size of this years corn crop seems to
point to wholly different prospect for
the price of that most important cereal
When the enormous aggregate of promis-
ed production, however, is taken into ac-
count, the sum it represents at even 20
cents bushel is a splendid object lesson
of the huge capacity of the American
farmers for drawing wealth from the
generous soil they cultivate. The esti-
mated production of corn for the season,
with present condition maintained till
harvested, as indicated by the Govern
ment report, is 2, 2,150,000,0O0 bushels. At
20 cents bushel that represents the vast
sum of S430,00000O.
