consumers who predicted collapse in

greatly augmented the pressure by
tardily attempting to supply their re-

some time that there is utterly lacking
the artificial element tending to initiate
prices that was conspicuous in the open

prices appears to be the ability of pur-
ehasers to pay fancy figures. according
to the urgency of their needs. Mean

l
uHlGdD0 railroads have been reach
- ing out this week and eli.
ing around with view to ascertaining
what may be expected in future west
bound tonnage. The roads know the
crops will make or unmake their earn
ings.
Starting with hope and confidence in
the situation, and assuming that this is
certain to be a satisfactory crop year,
they are carrying their analysis further
along and covering every phase of the
outlook down to the most minute details.
In the advices received from agents to
many points there is much of encour-
agement. Stocks of merchandise in the
hands of country merchants in the mid
die west are found 70 be. OH the whole,
considerably lighter than is usual at
this time. In the northwest they are
moderate. The southwest is carrying
light stocks as the natural result of the
uncertainty and recent fear of a Win
ter wheat failure, which prompted CON
servativeness. There is no noteworthy
accumulation anywhere, even in the sta
pie commodities, which were purchased
literally early in the spring
Wheat has ruled steady and quiet,
with Il moderate showing of strength at
times Scarcely any wheat is coming
in anywhere just at present North
west stocks are light and decreasing,
and Il portion of the Red River Valley
is very late with seeding. With north
western conditions paramount, wheat
would probably be higher. but in the
southwest the recent heavy rains have
materially improved the winter wheat
outlook, aud there is a lack of bullish
enthusiasm in consequence. For the
week there was decided falling off in
wheat exports. the figures showing only
100000 bushels. compared with 5,30S.-
