The soy bean seems about to become
popular as rapidly as did alfalfa when
introduced, and for much the same rea-
sons The soy Is an upright stif-stem7
med, branching bean, imported from
Japan a few years ago, and its head

made almost entirely during the last
year. The agricultural authorities are
impressed with its value as a forage

Bradstreet's report for last week is
as follows:
Distributive trade is dull, seasonal
bly, SO in most instances. The upward
rush of wheat prices eliminated at the
close of last week, and the reactions
and irregularities since, mainly due to
heavy realizing, would mainly point to
the movement having been temporari-
ly, at least, overdone. Reports of rain
in the northwest though, it is claimed,
to late to help the crop in Minnesota,
and the two Dakotas, have had some
reasurring effect and second thought
apparently inclines bears to the belief
that the late advance discounted much
of the shortage in yields of the worlds
crop. Advices from the north are of
little more than half crop of wheat,
but estimates as to the outurn in bush
els vary accordingly as the government
reports of 316,000,000 bushels or the
commercial estimate of 100000 900
bushels in yield last year in the three
states are used as basis. A short-liy-
ed scare on the reports of dry weather
in the corn belt, sympathy with the ear
important, apparently increased popu-
larity of corn on export account, was
responsible for this cereal reaching the
highest point paid for a year past. Oats
and other farm crops also sympathized,
as did most hog products.
Butter is higher on smaller receipts
Sugar is at the highest price reached at
this time for years past, owing to act
i've canning demand and the strength
ened position of raw material. The
prospect of was in China, is chargeable
with the advance in teas, not only from
the former country, but from Japan,
some interruption in transportation
being apparently looked for if the Ash
attic trouble increases. Heavy rains
are complained of in the entire cotton
belt east of the Mississippi river and
the crop is generally in the grass. -
Increased cost of the raw material is
not balanced by an advance in finished
products. The contrary is the case,
because print cloths are IA cent off and
prints are 1-2c lower per yard.
Reports from the iron and steel trade
are as pessimistic as ever. Nominally
quotations at Pittsburg are unchanged,
but it is claimed buyers can get sup
plies lower. At other markets pig
iron and bars are unquestionably low
er. Pig iron is little above last year
while steel billets, bars and plates are
lower. The production in structural
material has brought little new bust
ness.
The lead market is apparently an ex-
ample of an readjustment of prices,
having been overdone, because 1t is
now steady after the low point reached
same weeks ago.
Wheat shipments for the week aggre-
gate 3,111,184 bushels against 1854, 1S0
bushels last week, 3,199,090 bushels
last year, 3,716,401 bushels in 1898,
2,778,848 bushels in the corresponding
week of 1897 and 1901, 916 in 1896.
Failures for the week number 1856,
as compared with 1877 last week, 1853 in
