"For the civilization of the western
hemisphere" remarks that paper, the

the rights OF any weaker country. 1t
has no desire to acquire more territory
nor to assume new duties Of supervi-
sion. But It win be impossible to evade

The danger that such a state Of af-

United States would be called upon to

But any step in this direction would be

The certainty OF liberal harvests and
the indications Of . demand at home and
abroad that win sustain prices at a
highly satisfactory point give assurance
OF a continuance Of business activity
and general prosperity. On the basis Of
approximately present prices the value
OF the crops OF wheat, corn and oats
for this year Is placed at s2.362.O00,OO0
against sl~.es1,OOO.O00 IN 1901. an in
crease Of 1881. 100000. The home de-
mand for these cercala IL not likely to
decline but rnthcr to increase, but Il Is
possible hat the exports may be some
what reduced.
Discussing the situation the New York
Journal Of Commerce points out that
last years wheat exports. including
-four. were 235.O00,000 bushels, a par
ticuIarly bad crop IN Germany IN part
accounting for this. "a In The year
before we exported 216, 100000 bushels
and In 1890 222, 1000. nelthetsof which
years followed any great disaster In
European crops. We have In crop and
old wheat s5,000,000 bushels less to dis
pose Of this year than last. The crops
of six European countries are. estimated
to be 10O.00O.0O0 bushels better than
last rear and in addition Russia has an
unusually good crop. Australia has ex-
ported no wheat since May and the ex-
ports from Argentina since the begin
ming Of the year have been consider
ably less than last year. The last Indian
crop was not quite equal to the average
local requirements. Last year our ex-
ports Of corr were 150,O00.O00 bushels
and Of oats 27.oO0.0o0 bushels, less than
In the previous year due simply to the
fact that we had not the grain TO sell.
The Journal of Commerce says: Euro
pean demands for both these grains may
be expected to be az good during the
coming year as usual. Although the
wheat crop is smaller than last year
and it would not be strange Il the price
Of corr declined. yet these three cereals
wheat, corn and oats-can hardly fail
to be worth s4oo.OOO.0 900 more than Last
year and may easily De worth 2 goou
deal more than ~$5O0,OOo.oOO above last
year. The farmers are likely to have
money to spend"
II the estimated value Of this years
cereal crops be added to the value of
other products of the farm, OF the basis
for the past year, it will be found that
the farmers win have a great deal of
money to spend. Already more pros

needed. During the two years ana i've

ion over 1000 banks have been organ

large majority Of these being banks

According to the comptroneF Of the cur
