CORN RECORD IN DANGER.
Santa Fe Vice President Says the
Crop Will Be Enormous.

Santa Fe Vice President Says the
Crop Will Be Enormous.
Paul Morton, first vice-president Of the
Santa Fe road, predicts bumper crop
of corn for the West and the entire coun-
try this season. He estimates the total
crop at 2, 5O00OO,0OO bushels and prophe-
sizes that the railroads of the West Will
have all they can do to take care of the
increased traffic. Mr.. Morton's estimate
was made after a careful survey of the
situation supplemented by personal IN
spection of Western States trayersed by
the lines of the Santa Fe and by COM
prehensive reports given him by agents
of the company in nearly every corn bear
ing State in the Union. Il am convlnc-
ed" said Mr.. Morton, "that this country
will have the largest corn yield IN Its
history and that the highwater mark of
2,2OO, 100000 bushels will be exceeded by
at least 3O0,OO0,O00 bushels. There is
very little danger now that any of the
western crop will be destroyed. 1t must
also be remembered that the acreage is
much larger this year. In Kansas alone
over 100000 acres of unpromising
wheat was plowed up in the spring and
the land planted to corn"

grain markets. July corn
declined 25c from the top figures follow
ing the winding up of the corner Now
it is claimed that July oats have been
cornered also and from the fact that oats
touched the remarkable figure of size
there would seem to be manipulation of
some kind going on.
A reimbursement is going on in wheat
Old wheat is commanding higher prem
iums as a wet harvest in the winter
wheat section has damaged the quality
to such an extent that for the present not
more than 1 per cent of the receipts here
are gaining contract. This poor showing
is reflected in the strength in July which
advanced to zoe, or nearly 6 cents over
September.
In the Minneapolis market the scarcity
of good milling wheat, coupled with bull
manipulation ran July up over soc, and
as cash wheat of the contract grade com,
mands a premium, there We're sales Of

might it be wished that these prices
would rule for the coming crop, and POS
sibly they will.
Last week saw a collapse in the bull
deal in July corn. A week ago every
body was confident that the Wall street
clique intended to put the price to ST.
They saw how easy it was to mark itup
to soc, but that was as high as the
clique expected to put it. The price
dropped from SEC Monday to 63l2c Cd
Wednesday, and later moved up to GS2
and closed Saturday at 674c, or 1S4e .
lower than the previous week.
Both cattle and hogs reached the high

closing prices for cattle were cOns5

about the same as week ago. SR E

week, compared with the previous Weeh
increased $500 cattle and decreased II
600 hogs and 1900 sheep. Compare

ly improved the industrial outlook. while
agricultural conditions steadily improve
AS these have been the only unfavorable
influences for some months, the prospects.
for active trade are decidedly encourag,
ing. Preparations for unusually heayy
fall sales are being made and confidence
rows stronger. Mills and furnaces that
have been idle on account Of the usual
overhauling resumed as rapidly as need,
ed repairs could be made. Financial con-
ditions are sound, the midyear dividend
distributions producing no stringency
and speculation has been heavy for the
season, both in securities and staples.

the industrial outlook. Continuing, the
review says:
Pig iron continues to command full
prices, supplies falling below REQUIRE.
ments and furnace deliveries failing to
fill contracts. Scarcity of fuel is still the
principal drawback, while ear and motive
power shortage are additional causes Of
delay. New orders are reported for dis.
tinct delivery running about a year
ahead. Prices are fully maintained for
the raw material, but billets weakened
slightly because of foreign selling. In
portations have reached a considerable
aggregate and more are expected. Struc
tural material is still the feature, new
business being offered in great bulk Rail
way needs do not diminish, despite the
enormous amount of work already placed
Crop prospects have continued faYora

influences there was a gradual decline in
prices. Cotton rules steady, the outlook
