GENERAL BUSINESS is ACTIVE.
Damage to Corn Not Thought Sufficient
to Seriously Affect Trade.

General business continues it's even
course, with all the leading industries
we'll employed and with confidence ex-
pressed on every hand. Bountiful crops
of wheat seem assured, and the damage
to corn, while considerable in some di
rectlons, does not promise to be sufti-
GENTLY general or serious to at all inn
pede the progress of the country. Labor
troubles are in process OF settlement, and
spectators have been responsible for
most of the unrest which has been re-
tlected in the markets. The foregoing is
from the weekly trade review of Il. G..
Dun Il Go. 1t continues: Steel mills are
actively employed, and there is a distinct
Improvement in the demand for finished
products, while quotations are without

Figuring on the basis of the government
report, there is a bumper wheat crop TINS
year, 800, 100000 bushels winter and 1885,
100000 bushels spring, a total of 49,
0O0,O 900 bushels. Corn is estimated at

900 bushels. Returns to the statstlclan
of the Department Of Agriculture on the
acreage of corn planted indicate reduc-
ton of about 100000 acres, or D per cent
from the area planted last year. or the
twenty-five States having 1,OOO,0OO acres
or upward in corn in 1900, twelve show a
decrease of about 100000 acres, while
IN the remaining ten an increase OF about
100000 acres is shown. or the twenty
three States and territories having less
than 100000 acres in corn in 1900, only
six report smaller acreages than were
planted last year. The average condition
of the growing crop is S1.3 as compared
with 1915 on July /. 1900, 86.5 at the
corresponding date in 1890. and a ten
year average of 90.3. The condition in
Nebraska is SO. in Illinois and Iowa 81,

States first above referred to, except i'll
Mississippi Virginia, and South Dakota,
where the conditions represented by 50,

their ten-year averages, the condition Is
more or less below such averages.
