GOOD wheat crnn in the
Chicago.

good wheat crop in the
Northwest this year. In some places
they may have been too late to give an
average crop, but SO far as moisture con-
tributes to the result, the crop as whole
is now believed to be in good condition.
Taking the country over, the important
crops promise at least average yields.
Thus the danger that threatened business
week ago has gone. So far as bounti-
full crops may go in insuring continue
ton of prosperity the outlook is now
very satisfactory. Good crops mean good
railway freight earnings and a vigorous
commercial movement the nation over.
Before sailing for Europe the other
day Marshall Field, the great Chicago
merchant, described the business outlook
as precarious, and named the labor dis
putes as the chief factor of evil. But
there seems to be distinct tendency to
Improvement in this respect. The adop-
ton of full plan Of arbitration by the
building trades unions and employers
associations in New York is notable in
stance Of this tendency. Another good
sign is the increasing number of EN-
ployers' associations. These will tend
10 prevent excesses by the unions. just
as the unions tend to prevent excesses by
the employers. In labor circles there Is.
too. beginning to appear a wholesome
fear lest the goose Of the golden egg be
slain.
Altogether the first week of the fiscal
year starts out fairly cheerfully. There
is now no reason to apprehend any per-
ceptible letting down Of the good times.

- "a new fiscal year has

L--@ favorable auspices than ap-
peared possible a short time ago, the i'm
provement being due In no small measure
10 the greater conservatism that was
an outgrowth Of unsettled conditions
Seasonable weather has also contributed
10 the better distribution Of merchan-
disc, besides encouraging buoyant senti-
ment in the agricultural districts. Rail-
way earnings and output of pig iron
were larger. while insolvencies were few
pr. Earnings of railways thus far re-
ported for June surpass last years by
10 per cent and those Of 1901 by 1914
per cent" according to R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade. Con-
tinuing, the report says:
More inquiries for pig iron have ap-
peared, and although the actual con-
tracts are for comparatively small guam
titles, the tone is distinctly better. Bes-
semer iron is not offered for the third
quarter by the association and orders
accepted for early delivery are taken by
middlenien who have stocks on hand.
The situation has been complicated dur
ing the past week by the strike Of coal
miners in Alabama, which threatens to
restrict output of Southern iron.
Bradstreet's Trade Review.
Warm, forcing weather has been the
keynote of the situation this week, in
ducing favorable conditions for the win
ter wheat harvest, special progress By
corn and cotton, enlargement in retail
trade in summer goods, generally hereto

p6rtant of all, bringing about a much
more cheerful feeling as to the future

Here is where the women have come

being harvested. So farmers girls, and

legations have again taken precautions
for eyentualities. Quantities Of provis-
ions have been hurriedly stored in the
legation buildings and the guards have
been REINFORCED. The European gov

CROPS GREATLY HELPED BY HEAT
Weather Bureau Reports Past Week
as one of Fest This Season.


The weather bureaus weekly summary
of crop conditions is as follows:
Inc week ending July was the most
favorable of the season, giving ample
and much-needed heat in all districts east
of the Rocky Giountains- Drouth in
the northern portion of the spring wheat
region has been relieved, but need of
rain is beginning TO be felt in the Ohio
valley, portions of the central gulf States
and in western Texas. In the central and
northern Rocky Mountain districts and
on the north Pacific coast it has been too
cool. frost. more or less damaging, oc-
curing from July 2 to July in Idaho,
Wyoming and Utah.
Under the very favorable temperature
conditions corn has made rapid advance
ment in the central valleys and is now
greatly improved and generally well culti-
waited. In the northern portion of the
middle Atlantic States. in the upper Ohio
valley. lake region and the Dakotas the
crop continues backward. but is improv-
ing though needing cultivation in many
parts of these districts. In the Southern
States corn is largely laid by. an un-
usually fine crop being practically as
sured in the west gulf districts.
Harvesting of winter wheat has pro-
gressed under favorable conditions and
is nearing completion in portions of the
central districts. Thrashing is also in
general progress, with yields lighter than
anticipated In nearly all districts. Win
ter wheat is now ripening on the north
Pacific coast, the crop being practically
safe in Washington. High winds and
excessive heat have caused injury in Cal
ifornia in some sections, but excellent
yields are reported from the southern
part of the State. -
Early spring wheat has sustained per
manent INJURY in portions of North Da-
kota and northern Minnesota from
drouth. which has been broken by abun-
dant rains that we're of great benefit to
the late crops. In southern Minnesota
and parts of South Dakota lodging and
rust are reported In Wisconsin, Iowa.
Nebraska and Kansas and on the north
Pacific coast the crop is progressing sat
isfactorily. Spring wheat is now heading
In the Dakotas.
The outlook for oats in Minnesota and
South Dakota is improving ard the crop
continues generally promising In the
States of the Missouri and upper Missis-
sippi valleys. A light crop, however, IS
indicated in the Ohio valley and por-
