CROP REPORTS.
ARE FAVORABLE
Wheat, Oats and Cotton I'm
prove, but Cool Weather
Keeps Back Growing Corn
MONEY CONTINUES EASY
Prospects for a Good Fall
and Winter Business Are
Considered to Be Bright

NEW YORK, June 1T.-Bradstreets s
Review Of Trade tomorrow will say:
Favorable features this week are the
further improvement shown in leading
crops and the ending of the tie-up on
the great lakes. Wheat, oats and cot
ton have improved. but corn is still
backward owing TO the cool weather.
General trade and industry have re-
mained quiet and may be said to have
marked time" The notable underly-
ing feature Of the entire situation is
the feeling that with an average yield
OF wheat and large crops OF the other
cereals and Of cotton now in prospect
a good fall and winter business is to
be looked for. Pending further progress
in this direction the tendency is TO
await events. Prices Of leading pro-
ducts have felt the influence of crop
news. Wheat, oats and cotton declined,
while corn had remained steady on re-
ports of backward conditions and
small supplies Offering. Railway earn
ings reflect current Quietness in busi-
ness and the decreases of 3-5 per cent
of gross in May and of 6 per cent in
April net. indicated last week, are con-
flrmed by fuller details. Transporta-
ton business generally is better than
in 1902. Bank clearings. more imme-
date reflection of current business,
show an enlargement over last week,
but the grand totals still show recess
sions from a year ago. The cross cur
rent Of ebb and flow, noted at diff
ferent cities, however. may possibly be
significant of a change in the tide. Col
lections still reflect the influence Of
backward spring in retail trade and
are complained Of IS slow at num-
Der OF centers. Money continues easy
and the stock market activity is large
ly professional
Crop advlces to Bradstreet's tell Of
improvements. This is most notice
able in winter wheat, harvesting OF
which has become general in the
Southwest and In California. Spring
wheat is also making progress along
satisfactory lines. An average crop Of
wheat has been raised in Texas, but
the yield in California will be below
the average owing to damage by dry
winds The stand of corn is good, but
the weather is too cool for the best
growth. The California grape and
raisin crop viii be very large and
southern peaches promise a heavy
yield
The leading industries generally dis
play Quietness. iron and steel are dull
and production is being curtailed but
price weakness is less manifest. The
lumber trade is rather irregular. being
very much depressed on the Pacific
Coast. fairly active in the Northwest,
but rather dull in the East. Low prices
for yellow pine are inducing a change
in demand to those sorts from white
pine

BUSINESS Is QUIET.

NEW YORK, June 17.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade to-
morrow win say:
Industry suffers from an epidemic of
ultra conservatism emanating appar-
entity from the theory that season Of
depression must come every ten years.
while the coincidence of a Presidential
election furnishes another precedent.
AS a result. stocks of merchandise have
beer reduced, railway traffic is less
ened, preparations for future business
are curtailed and less money is dis
tributed in the form of wages, while
those having capital to invest confine
their attention to the highest classes
OF bonds or hold back for still lower Sc
cvrities prices. All these factors have
combined TO produce a reaction entirely
out Of proportion TO the natural read
justment that was really started by
abnormally high prices Of raw mate
rials and other excessive costs OF pro-
duction. resulting in accumulation of
goods that could not be sold at prof
*. Retrenchment has made consider
able progress. wage earners as a rule
recognizing the Importance Of accept
ing reductions in pay. The lake strike
has been adjusted, leaving little friction
between employer and employe.
As the season advances the crop out
look improves and there is no funda-
mental weakness in the nations COM
mercial or financial position Evil
dences of contraction in business are
numerous, however, railway earnings
thus far available for May showing a
loss of IL per cent. as compared with
1903
Considering the favorable official and
private crop reports, wheat has ruled
remarkably firm, the high price having
a natural effect on foreign demand. In
fact il was reported that exporters
were selling wheat at Duluth.
Stocks will be low when the new crop
is harvested and domestic consumption
has absorbed offerings despite conpar-
ative quiet of late at Northwestern
mills. Wheat exports from all ports OF
the United States, -four included,
amounted TO 1871 304 bushels, compared
with 2.S09 .002 bushels year ego.
Liabilities OF commercial failures
thus far reported for June aggregated
s4.I5l,I Jos, Of which s1.S54,762 were in
manufacturing, s1,S79,3s4 in trading and
s416, ,s52 in other commercial lines.
Failures this week number 257 in the
United States. against 21S last year,
and 16 in Canada, compared with "A a
year ago.

Some Timely Don'ts.

The season is at hand when pneu-
monia is carrying off its uncounted
thousands of victims. The great in
crease in the number of cases has led
the New York board of health 10 pub
lish a few hints on how TO avoid the
dread disease. \ few of these sugges-
lions are given below:
Don't stop treating a slight cold"
until it i completely cured.
Don't go into the cold air in an over
heated condition.
Don't go out of an overheated room
into the street without wrapping up.
Don't stay in an overheated room
any longer than you can help il. y
moderate temperature j. more health
full.
Don't sit in an overheated car too
tightly bundled up.
Don't drink too much.
Dent go without a proper amount
of sleep; rest is necessary to keep he
body in proper state of resistance.
Don't hesitate 10 see the doctor. \
stitch in time may save an under
takers bill.
These rules are good anywhere. 1t

cautions as are suggested above.
