WHEAT-There is little to be said about
wheat different from our circular letter
its equilibrium after the May fasco and,
as We predicted, the market closes this
week 112c higher than the low point of a
week ago and has a very firm undertone.
crop conditions are reported nearly per
feet in all directions and, with an occas-
iOnal howl about rust, Hessian fy, too
much rain or not enough rain (Which is
every ear in the market), the prospects
now are for a full crop of wheat. With
conditions maintained until the harvest,
the present price would still be low
enough. and as it is an absolute certain
ty that the crop will not maintain the
present high average, the news from now
on must favor the bull side
The market is absolutely free from all
manipulation wheat and flour on an easy
export basis, and nothing in the situa-
ton that unnaturally depresses or un-
naturally increases the value OF wheat
for immediate consumption July or Sep
TENDER wheat bought at present prices
viii show you fair profit within thirty
CORN-There is absolutely nothing to
pc said about corn this week except that
receipts are. as we predicted, growing
equals the amount coming to market This
is also the busy month with farmers ana
receipts are not likely to increase any
unless we should have a, material advance
There is nothing to be said about the
corn prospects for this year, as not one
third of the acreage is yet planted. If
the month of May should be cold and
stormy and the crop not get a fair start,
it will be a very great bull argument on
the market.
OATS-There is little can be said about
oats. The growing crop looks well the
consunptive demand about equals the
receipts, and the situation is too quiet
to suggest much in a speculative trade
either side of the market.
PRONISIONS-The provision situation
is practically unchanged and prices with
out notable fluctuations from a week ago.
A little hardening tendency has been evil
dent in the market, in sympathy perhaps
with wheat. With plenty of hogs through
the summer, there will be provisions
enough to go around without unduly ex-
citing anybody, and the big people in the
market seem about equally divided in
their opinion to the value of the product
for July and September delivery The
bulls have the best of the argument in
constantly pointing to the fact that the
price of hogs is too high for the price
of product, but as there is a mysterious
factor all the time in packing house pro-
duct whereby they continually pay big
dividends and swear they are doing bust
ness at a loss. it makes one give up
guessing as to what the cost of product
is, or confirms him in the belief that the
cost of the finished product to the packer
is nothing like what they publish to the
world in proportion to the cost of live
hogs. This. however. is question that
does not Immediately interest a Spectator
and on a general proposition provisions
look like good property to own at present
prices and under present conditions.

coated mountains with their slippery
trails could not keep the president IN

lifted and the snow and rain which had
fallen continuously for four days
ceased. With the first appearance Of
the sun the party started out after the
dogs, but though the hunt was con-
tinued until dark, it was unsuccessful.
The president hopes to get one more
bear. He has not been discouraged by
the bad weather. His health has been
excellent and the wild camp life is to
his liking. If today proves to be a
good day for the chase the most will
be made of it and the arrival at Glen
