on just the same, and is likely to show
tangible results when other conditions
favor. There is now a distinctly better
feeling amongst those who control the
money market, and fear of extreme
stringency during the coming fall is
much less acute. Beyond possibly the
usual firmness and activity witnessed
during the crop moving period, there is
likely to be little disturbance while the
limited volume of speculation in stocks
and the less capital required to carry
them makes pressure from that quarter
more remote than usual. This explains
the absence of concern at recent gold
exports. Gold usually goes abroad at
this season, and a slight advance in
money rates would quickly stop the
efflux; besides, we are always producing
gold in large sums, and the annual
Klondike output is now beginning to
arrive.

SHORT CORN CROP.
That Is the Prediction of Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson.

Washington. July 16.-Secretary Will
son, who has returned from trip that
included Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota and South Dakota, said to-
day that while the farming conditions
are generally good and some of the
crops have a large yield. the corn crop
will be short. THE abnormally cool
weather." he said, has retarded the
development of the corn crop. Along
the valleys the crop has been destroyed
and on the level lands that have been
saturated, the corn will not mature.
The best corn is along the dry rolling
lands but even there the cool season
has prevented the crop from being what
it should be at this time. We may have
an average crop. if the weather in the
future is favorable, but if it continues
cold it is hard to say to what extent
there will be a shortage. The grass crop
will be the finest for many years. The
cool weather has favored the growth of
oats, wheat and barley and that class
of products. The wheat crop generally
is good, altogether the outlook for the
farmer is good. We have been paying
IS, 600 600 annually for. macaroni. We
are growing all of our own macaroni

The banking capital of the United
States has not only been greatly en-

has been an important increase in circu-

and the banks now have their resources
under better control than for a long
period. Perhaps the greatest strength

come from the payment of heavy for
