Brief Review Of Trade
For the Past Week

week has seen a partial check
given to the continuance of the
downward swing in many staples
indicated by Bradstreet's May 1
index number. All the cereals
are stronger or higher. The cash
demand for wheat, decreases in
the visible supply and cold,weath-
err reports have more than offset
the government winter wheat
crop report, which, however, rath-
er surprised the trade because of
the large area reported aban-
doned. A yield of 46O,OO0,000
bushels, equal to the largest ever
gathered, is still possible, though
perhaps not entirely probable.
Cash wheat is 4 cents higher, corn
is up IL cents, oats Il cents and
-four 10 cents. Pork and lard are
also firmer. Live animals are
higher despite larger receipts.
Corn reports are irregular,
varing with the crops and Sec
tons involved. Winter-wheat re-
ports are undoubtedly favorable,
the best, in fact, since 1901.
Spring wheat, too, has been given
a good start in the northwest, and
the plant in southern Minnesota
is up and looks well. Pacific
coast wheat crop reports are very
good With favorable conditions
a crop equal to 1901 is possible, in
which event some theories as to
this country being back number
in wheat exporting will receive
revision.

Wholesale trade for fall de-
livery has been stimulated by
good public and private reports
as to winter wheat, but heavy
rains or continuously cool wealth
err have interfered with retail
trade, except in a few sections,
and unquestionably retarded corn
and cotton planting, which ap-
pears to be one to two weeks late.
Spring-wheat seeding, however,
has been finished, and the increas-
ed acreage. helped by abundant
moisture, has had a good start.
The iron trade displays increased
quiet in the cruder forms, with
price concessions offered. Buyers
display a holding-off tendency
Finished trade reports are good
because of large orders previously
booked and owing to thee receipt
of additional good orders for rails
and structural material. The
building trades, as heretofore,
offer an immense outlet for lrlm-
ber, hardware and building ma
terials generally. Railway ton
mage in April fell somewhat be-
hind March, but the gain in earn
ings over April, 1904, is fully 81
per cent, against a gain in March
of 1913 per cent. Bank clearings
reflect reduced speculation in a
drop of "a per cent. from last
week, but exceed a year ago by
% per cent. Reports as to col
lections are irregular, but some
improvements is noted at western
and a few southern cities. Money
continues easy and commercial
loans are ready taken care of.
