SHORT CROPS AND HIGH PRICES

All indications point to a modest
grain crop this year. Neither the
excessive, promise nor the threat
ened disaster of different periods
since spring fairly opened will be
realized. That the winter wheat
crop was materially damaged is
row admitted. For a time there was
reason to suppose that both the spring
wheat and the corn crop would rank
among those Of bumper years. AL
though the spring was late, it was fol-
lowed by such an abundance of mois-
ture, that grain got good start Then
came the prolongation of rainfall be-
yond what was either necessary or
desirable, accompanied by absence of
sunshine and by piercing winds. Low
lands were under water, portions Of
Kansas We're ruined by flood and there
was danger to our crops in, the Red
river valley and other portions of the
Northwest not thoroughly drained.
We are now fairly advanced to a
point where we can calculate upon the
future with some reasonable certainty.
harvesting has already begun, and the
crops are far enough along everywhere
to admit of reasonable estimates. We
should judge from the best advices
that can be obtained, and from the
figures Of the most careful estimators,
that there will be a large shortage in
the total yield for the country, while
We of the Northwest will have the adj
vantage of at least fair crop to be
marketed.
On the other hand, the probability is
that prices will rule high. All condi-
tons are favorable for good market.
Stocks in hand have been well run
down; and, while the war in the East
does not create the same demand for
breadstuffs that it would If the ma
lions engaged were those of Western
Europe, it nevertheless does make
difference both in increased consump-
ton and in decreased Russian con-
tribution to the worlds supply. The
expansion of the Oriental market, re-
lleving the pressure and furnishing
outlet for considerable percentage Of
the American yield, is a powerful and
permanent influence working in the
same direction. But the main factor is
the actual shortage, which points to
better prices.
Looking at all the facts of the situa-
ton, the promise is that the farmers
of the Northwest, if they understand
their interests and are not deceived
by false reports, will do very we'll.
Unless some entirely unforeseen dis
aster occurs between this and the close
of harvesting, they will be able to dis
pose of their grain at more than ordi-
narily satisfactory prices. Upon such
prices, with this enlightenment as to
the situation, they should insist. This
is our great reliance; the fountain of
prosperity which neither trusts nor
politics nor any other political or
economic calamity can shut off.

INDUSTRIAL CONNECTION

A presidential year is always year
of more or less unsettled industrial
conditions. Business is apt to be dull
at that time. There is no reason why
this should be so at present. There are
few disturbing conditions about the
present political controversy. AS far
as the financial issue is concerned,
which held business in suspense four
and eight years ago, there is now no
room for anxiety. 1t has become SO
much of habit, however, with our
business men to curtail somewhat their
operations at the beginning of year
when president is chosen that it
persists even when the reasons for ii
have vanished. Therefore there are al
sways six or eight months of dull bust
ness before national election occurs,
and dull business means usually some
labor trouble.
The big events of this year so far are
the strike of the packing house en-
ployes and the strike in the textile
mills at Fall River. In one case the
men are fighting for an increase in
the wages of a portion Of the employees,
and in the other they are protesting
against material reduction; which is,
we believe, the second to be made with

accordingly. The prospect there is for

through so many changing and sur
prising phases that it would be rash
to predict whether it will last for
twenty-four hours or for as MANY
weeks.

Change IN Politics Once in 12 Years

The natural tendency of American
politics, except after war, is for a
change to come at least once in twelve
years. After the civil war the Repub-

sixteen years, anyway, conceding the
Democratic claim that Tilden was
elected but robbed of victory by re-
turning boards. 1t was twenty-four
years before the party got president,
