Temporary-Short Corn and wheat
Crops Brought Largest Prices ON
Record.
New York. May 30.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade to-mor-
row will say:
Ease in the money market, favorable
crop prospects and confidence abroad
are the encouraging factors which out
weigh the disturbing elements of labor
conflicts and unreasonable weather for
retail trade at many points. Effects
of the depressing influence are less
keenly felt because they are believed
to be only temporary, and confidence
Is expressed that with the resumption
of work and normal temperature there
will be a return to the liberal distribu-
ton of merchandise. Despite the short
corn crop last year, the large yield
OF wheat and high prices for both re-
suited in the greatest value for the two
crops ever recorded, which means
that the agricultural sections are pros
porous, and other Industries must share
the good fortune by increased sales of
products. Collections are prompt as a
rule. and payments through the prin-
cipal clearing houses are we'll main
uluilAiStlCu
speculation, there was an increase of
IL per cent. at New York compared
with last years exchanges. Returns
as to transportation show that losses
in grain movement are being more
than made up elsewhere, railway
earnings thus far reported for May
showing a gain of 6.5 per cent. over
last year and 1910 per cent over 1900.
Stocks of textile fabrics are not ac-
cumulating, although the markets are
extremely quiet. Domestic jobbing
trade is fairly satisfactory. but OK
ports of cotton goods are small. Print
cloths are dull and unchanged, with
the situation unsettled as to new prints
for the fall.
Prospects are bright for a large yield
of cotton. Dispatches have been re-
ceived from correspondents of r. G..
Dun & Co., located in all parts of the
cotton belt, and the returns are unani-
mously encouraging.
Failures for the week, 1874, against

Confident of Outcome.


Confident of Outcome.
Waycross, Ca, May 3o.-Mr. i. @.
Humphreys, chairman of the Ware
County j. H. Estill Club. in an inter-
view with the Morning News corre-
spondent this morning told of his great
confidence in Col. Estill's election for
Governor. MIR. Humphreys said: 81
am no politician, but for the past three
months have endeavored TO keep
thoroughly posted with the political
situation in the state, and most espe-
cially in Ware county, and the counties
surrounding us. l feel confident OF
Col. Estilrs nomination at the primary
in June, and believe that he will carry
almost a solid South Georgia delega-
ton. In Ware county, almost half of
the registered voters have Joined our
Estill club, and every day l hear
of Estill men who have not joined
the club. The reports 1 get from
Wayne, Pierce, Camden, Charlton and
Clineh indicate that probably two
are for Mr. Estill. Mr.. John Strickland,
president of the Pierce County Estill
Club, has done some good work, and
he has helped us a great deal in the
Southern part OF Ware.
"Col. Estill's race has been an ex-
ceedingly clean one, and l believe that
the people are beginning to realize that
clean, progressive business man is
preferable to a politician in the guber-
material chair"

vester Pennoyer, Salem, Ore: Appar-
emily reliable reports indicate danger
of violence to Chinese when the exclu-
sion act takes effect, and the President
earnestly hopes you will employ oil
lawful means for their protection in
