James WllSon, VINO Is IN chicago with
the presidential party. yesterday. The
total yield, IL is estimated, will be be-
tween twenty three and twenty-five
hundred millions of bushels. There will
be plenty for manufacturing and feed
ing and we viii have all the corn to sell
that anybody wants to buy. To what
extent the crop will be shipped abroad
Will depend largely upon the price it
Will bring. The high prices offered for
meats will incline the farmers to use
their crop for feeding purposes" Con-
tinuing on the prospects for good
prices. Secretary Wilson said:
Where stock is to be found the corn
will be fed. unless the price be high. A
will be cribbed as the farmers gener-
ally are Well off and are getting good
prices for their products. so they can
afford to hold their corn crop.
Meats are likely to be high because
the American workingman is buying
freely from the good wages he is re-
ceiving. Another reason which makes
me look for high prices in meats is the
fact that in the last few years our pop
ulation has grown faster than the meat
producing animals. Then. injudcious
grazing on the semi-arid regions of the
west has been destructive, and many of
those range states do rot have over 81
per cent of the animals they had fifty
years ago \ steady demand outside of
the United States for first-class meats
in the quarter and on the hoof, and a
growing demand not only across the
Atlantic but in the countries in and
around the Pacific for American canned
meats is playing an important part IN
influencing high prices. The demand is
growing in the Orient for animal prod
uets. and growing rapidly
The British i'll the Transvaal war
should II occur, VIII want our canned
meats. They cannot use our refrig-
orator meats over there and in order 10

Good Hope in refrigerating vessels and

have canned meats and they must come
to Chicago to get them.
