NEW YORK, August 5.-The week
has been more or less { quiet one in
wall street. Men influential in fnan-
cIal affairs are abroad, at the seashore
or in the mountains, enjoying their
prosperity and calculating upon re-
turning to a season ofsgreater activity
during the fall months. Let US con-
slider how far such Expectations are
justified.
BY common consent the course Of the
market has for years BEEN mainly In
auenced at this season by crop condi-
lions. 1t is altogether TOO early yet to
form any positive opinions Us to the
final yield Of the principal crops; but OF
wheat. corn and cottot there is every
prospect u suGiclency to meet our
own md foreign requirements. Wheat
has been the chief subject of anxiety,
because Of early injuries both at home
and abroad. The most conservative es-
Inmates indicate a yield this year o;
not less than 5GO,OOO.0OO bushels posi-
bly, more. compared with s75,OoO.Ooo
last year. In view, however, of the sur
plus left over from previous crop. 1t is
expected that we shall have available
for export at least 2OO,uo1,OOO bushels,
against 222. 100000 bushels last year.
which was next to the largest year of
wheat exports in our history. 1t is
questionable, therefore, II a larger
wheat crop would be an advantage; for
there is no prospect Of serious scarcity
in the worlds supply and a second
burner crop might be disastrous to
ia: .ne.u. II low prices followed.
AS to corn, much depends upon the
next few weeks; the present outlook
being for crop Of over 2,OOO,OoO.OOO
bushels. compared with l,924,0Oo.0Oo
bushels in 1898. Cotton. according to an
average estimate, promises crop of
eleven and one-fourth million bales. or
about the same as last year. Thus.
