When is Wheat Crop "safep"

From the New York Evening Post.
The extent to which experts have quail
fed last weeks 100000. OO0-bushel estimate
from the winter wheat acreage and condi-
ton figures; the Indifferent response of the
stock market to that estimate, and this
weeks advices Of poor progress in the farm
work-these various incidents give some in
terest to the questions, when a crop may
be deemed really safe, and how long flnan-
cial markets must wait before feeling that
serious accidents are no longer possible.
there can be no certainty until June, and
doubt will often continue longer. In 1895,
the governments May 10 estimate was
S2.9; on June 10 1t cut 1t down to I'll.
Heavy frosts in the middle of May, follow
ed by drouth and insect pests, reduced ex-
pectations by nearly 5OOO0.OOO bushels and
sent up the price from 81 to 81 cents The
May condition estimate in 1889 was 1872,
and the weekly crop reports up to the mid
die of the month, described Improvement
Then came three weeks of cold weather.
drouth and the devastating "Hessian fly,
and the June condition estimate fell to 67.3
OF 1903, when. on the heels of a very high
May 10 estimate, came furious rains which
beat down the winter wheat and flooded
the Missouri and Ohio valleys until the
middle of june most peoples recollection
is distinct enough. The May condition of
92.6 ended at 1873 in July.
Speaking generally, it may be safely said
that If the crop is in thoroughly good con-
dition at the opening of June, it Is pretty
sure reliance. If it has already been i'm
paired, then what remains Of it is not safe
before July.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Fresh Test Given to Buying by Rains
in the West

CHICAGO, May 2o.-Rain in Kansas and
Oklahoma gave fresh zest to buying in the
wheat market here today. There was a net
advance of precisely cent bushel in the
price of July option Corn is off sc Oats
are unchanged Provisions are 21a to TIC
higher.
Strength in the wheat market was not in
evidence at the opening. On the contrary,
sentiment was somewhat bearishly inclined,
owing to excellent weather conditions in the
northwest A liberal increase in receipts at
Minneapolis gave encouragement to bears.
However, the steady tone of cables in the
face of a break here yesterday, almost Off
set the bearish influence. Initial quotations

S61s to 81. On reports of additional rain in
many portions of the southwest, a good
demand developed Several prominent trad
ers were conspicuous buyers. After short
period of heSitancy the market assumed a
firm undertone. Throughout the remainder
of the session fear of deterioration In the
winter crop formed the basis of the per-
sistent demand The higher prices for cash
wheat at all grain centers helped to create
bulish sentiment in optional trading. For
July the highest point of the day was
reached at SSas The market closed strong,
with July at SSaSS1s Clearances of wheat
and flour were equal to AZ, 400 bushels. Pri-
mary receipts were 2S3, 800 bushels, COM
pared with 145.eOO bushels year ago. Min
neapols, Duluth and Chicago reported re-
ceipts of 210 cars. against 50 cars last week
and 81 cars a year ago.
Improved weather conditions caused
weakness in the corn market. Lower prices
at Liverpool added to the bearishness. A
prominent commission house was an active
seller. July opened u to Nc. lower, at 477s
to AZ, sold off to 47A and closed at the low
est point. Local receipts were CT cars. with

weakening influence on the oats market.
Weather also was a bearish factor being
favorable to the advancement OF the new
crop Strength of wheat. however, checked
the selling pressure. July opened AaAc.

BALTIMORE Md. May 20-R. G.. Dun &,
Co s weekly review of trade for Baltimore
issued today, is follows:
General trade conditions are favorab BILE
and collections are improving, though some
complaints are still heard from the far
south
The outlook in clothing is exceptionally
good, retailers having cleaned up their
stocks of heavy weights and statesmen are
sending in liberal orders from the road
Spring trade has been about up to the
average and collections are fair Business
in dry goods and notions is active orders
Tor fall goods being of substantial volume
with prices firm and collections normally
good. Wholesale dealers in boots and
shoes find the prospect greatly improved
the volume of sales being larger and col
lections better than for some time past
Local business in furniture is quiet, but
trade from southern points is more active
and collections unusually good. Machinery
and supplies are in strong demand at good
prices and collections promptly made Bust
ness in drugs and chemicals is not up to
the average, retailers buying only for press

Wholesale trade in leaf tobacco is poor,
though prices continue high and leaf of

LONDON MARKET.
Stock Conditions Not Improved During
the Week
AZ BROADWAY,

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
LONDON, May 20-The stock market
conditions were not improved this week,
but, on the contrary, they are such that a
good many financial men are considerably
uneasy concerning the outlook. One hears
more or less talk of the possibility of a re-
curYence of the state of affairs prevalent
last year, a feature of which was the alb
stention of the public from participation in
stock exchange business. Some financial
writers profess they have seen signs of the
withdrawal of private SPECTATORS from the
market, and say that the market already
is practically In the hands of the pools and
professionals. Probably there is a certain
amount of basis for this view, but If the
public is fighting shy of the stock eX-
change just now because of shyness II is
not the same as that which was in opera
ton last year.
1t was the tightness of the money mar
ket that depressed the stock market last
year, it is the fear of a great slump in
prices that disturbs the minds of would-be
investors and spectators now There is
considerable anxiety in connection with the
situation in the far east. 1t is quite time.
1t is said that there will be no perma-
nent improvement in the market until the
end of the war. 1t has happened this week,
however, that the depressing tendency or
the war has been reinforced by the ner-
Vousness growing out of the situation In
New York, and also by certain continental
operations in the nature of liquidation.
Possibly this emulation and unfavorable
influences has brought about a degree of
pessmiSm that win pass away in the course
of a few days, but nobody seems inclined
to make hard and fast forecast. About
all that is said with confidence is that when
the cruel war is over there will be better
days in the stock exchange.

PAYING OFF FOREIGN LENDERS.
Why Wall Street Borrowed From Eu-
rope Six Weeks Ago.

From the New York Evening Post.
Because the ease in money here is max
ing it cheaper for bankers to borrow in
New York than in London, heavy loans Sc
cured abroad, on the pledge of American
securities, are being transferred to Wall
street lenders. In the week ending April
/, when sixty-day loans ruled here at "a
per cent, the same loans could be placed
by our bankers in London for 1-16 per
cent Naturally, there was such trans
fer of obligations. Since then, however,
London's sixty-day rate has advanced to
2A per cent, the New York quotation drop
ping to 3, and, simultaneously, demand
loans on stock collateral, which carried AZ
per cent on April l, have fallen back to
the neighborhood of 2. Combined with this
has come such curtailing of speculative de-
mands that Wall street borrowers VINO
wish to insure their position against the
yicissitudes of the autumn can get Tor ia
Der cent loans running to next February.
But If this mass of loans, EXTENDED 10
American borrowers by Europe, are now
to be transferred to Wall street. foreign
as their loans are paid off. Such drafts,
causing active demand for exchange on
london. may very easily raise the rate for
sight exchange to the normal goid-export
point.
ever by a quick rise in sterling at Paris, or
unfayorable developments at foreign mar
kets But the fact that nearly all OF ia
pan's S75OO0,O00 loan has yet to be re-
mitted for, the cessation OF London buy
ing of our securities In this market, ana
the prospect of continued ease In money
here-along with the fact that outflow OF
gold is usual in May-give interest to the
calculations.

UNFAvORABLE STATEMENT
Made Last Week by the New York
Associated Banks

NEW YORK, May 2o.-The Financier says
this week:
Last weeks official statement of the New
York associated banks much more I'M
favorable than was expected, chiefly for the
reason that there a large expansion,
instead of the looked-for contraction in
loans. Because of such increase in this
item the loss of cash and the augmentation
of reserve requirements. through increased
deposits, the surplus reserve was nearly cut
in half, carrying it to within about s., 900 600
of the lowest of the year, which was re-
corded March IS. The increases in loans
by SO 10000 can be accounted for in no
other way than that it was due to syndicate
operations, for there was almost continuous
liquidation in the stock market during the
week, which should have resulted in a large
contraction in loans. Cash reserves de
creased 81 10000. a sum smaller than that
which was estimated upon the basis of the
tFateable movements OF money during the
week The difference between the estimated
and the actual loss in this item prob
ably due to the system of bank averages.
The deposits We're increased sl4a32,W 900.
which amount was sl.0IS3OO less than the
sum of the increase in loans less the loss of
cash. therefore the statement was tech
nically out of proof The surrender of pub
lie deposits which was in progress, through
the New York banks. during the week on
their own account and for their correspon-
GOO, was not fully reflected in the state
ment there having been reduction of only
S2,5S3,6oo in this item compared with the
previous week, which reduction represented
about the amount of surrenders of public
funds by the city banks for themselves
alone.
The required reserve against general de-
posts was augmented by 81, 133, coo, which,
added to the loss of cash above noted
made Ssh 600 the reduction in surplus
reserve to sS,219.97J. Computed upon the
basis of deposits less those of S13,1j0 600
public funds the surplus is 81 ,5O7 60 One
feature was an increase of $GG9.GD in cir
culatlon. the most important gain since the
beginning of the month. Though the vol
ume of speculative operation in the stock
exchange was reduced through comparative
Inertia at frequent intervals, the daily av-
erage of bank clearings was s297. 0O0,0 or
S26tsb,oD greater than IN the previous
Week. Clearings on Saturday. rejecting Fri
days business, We're 500 30 Ti7. Compare
sons of loans show that eight banks in
creased this Item by 100000 net, two of
which contributed s21 100000 to the expan-
sion; seven banks lost 100000 net cash.
