The decline in values in stocks Is due to
the prospect of the loss of the corn crop
in Kansas, Iowa and perhaps in illinois
and Indiana If rain does not come soon.
The decline shows how intimately con-
nected with the values of railroad and
other PROPERTIES is the agriculture of the
West and the extent to which the prosper
ity of the country depends upon it. 1t is
probable that the situation is not so bad
as represented. but the reports indicate
an unusually short crop of corn in the
States which nave not had rain for a long
time. Even the hot winds have destroyed
corn in Kansas in the past when drought
was not severe. The situation is certainly
very grave, and gives to corn. consider
able quantities of which are still in the
hands of farmers, additional value. Fortu-
nately a good wheat crop is assured, but a
corn crop is much more important.
