Attention now is almost entirely
conferred upon the crops, says Henry
Clew's Financial Review. These are
generally progressing satisfactorily,
the only complaints being of back
wardness in some regions and injury
to winter wheat. Very soon harvest
ing of the latter will begin, and then
other crops will follow in quick sue
cession. Another two months viii
practically settle the crop problem,
and should the prospects continue ia
vorable we may anticipate a general
revival of confidence, while on the
other hand any real disaster to the
crops this year will have a much
more injurious effect upon business
than the corn crop failure exerted in
1902, when our industrial boom was
in full swing and did much to coun-
teract that disaster.

buy our prunes because they are good

astrous than the selling of American
