New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1905-05-28

One disclosure likely soon to be made has to
do with the future of the Chicago and Great
Western Railway system, whose security issues
are quoted at relatively insignificant figures
taking into consideration what the property is
and what it promises to be-what In the future
is assured. IL We are to have harmony and
the incidental features necessary to the making
OF Western railway conditions thoroughly and
lastingly satisfactory. It Is beyond any ques-
ton certain that the Chicago and Great West
ern's situation must be recognized. and that in
a broad sense. Through all vicissitudes A. b.
stickney has kept Chicago and Great Western
not only in independent, but in prospecting con-
dition-and, more. has provided such an
administration as establishes him to-day in
the highest credit with financial powers both
here and abroad And there is probably more
than idle gossip in hints OF new proposals to
Mr.. Stickney and his associates 10 join now in
plans which have TO do with the stability OF
Western railway harmony That we are to
have such harmony is sure

the executive committees Of Northern Pacific
and Union Pacific, instructing their operating
officials to prepare agreements for the joint
construction" of a new railroad in the Clear
water district-and thus a menace Of four years
melts away.
This is the season OF the year when Wall
Street keeps its to the ground for crop news
and 1t gets plenty. Already the crop killer
is abroad with predictions of famine yield, and
he will be in evidence for some time to come,
To him a wet May means destruction of wheat,
corn and cotton to the starvation point, and he
finds ready Wall Street audience 1t is a
curious feature that a certain speculative con-
tingent utterly Ignores official reports preferring
always to pin their faith to the professional
crop-killer. 1t was so last year when corn was
declared to be a failure-the final actual yield
in bushels being nearly the record and actual
cash value of the crop far SURPRISING all rec
ords. Now government reports foreshadow an
enormous Winter wheat crop despite whatever
seasonal deterioration may have taken place
since May l, when the yield estimated at
46OOOQOO0 bushels-even 10 per cent. reduc-
ton would still leave a vast harvest. Later
sown crops are admitted to be about two weeks
behind because of cool, rainy weather. but there
is nothing alarming in this; it is a condition
frequent at this time OF year and is speedily
overcome by a week or ten days warmth. There
is absolutely reason yet disclosed to expect
anything but bountiful crops.
Incidental to this crop development, which Is
the basis Of our prosperity. some most interest
ing statements are made by President Festus J.
Wade, of the Mercantile Trust Company, of ST.
Louis reviewing the progress of the twelve
states and territories West Of the Mississippi
where between 1890 and 1900 farm acreage in
creased from 22S million to 877 million acres
and from 1890 to 1904 the following expansion
appeared in crop yield
1890. 1904.
Corn. bushels ......... s11 259500 1858. 22S 02O
Wheat, bushels ...,... 164S21OO0 321 ,S93,517
Cotton, bales ......... 2910.905 5,9SS, 1876
This is. indeed, wonderful development, and
commenting upon it Mr.. Wade. who is one of
the most alert of observers and prominently
conservative. is amply warranted in concluding:
1.-THE fact is the people OF the States and Terri
"tories mentioned have been acquiring wealth
Eat such a phenomenal rate that with the
Continuance of present prosperity it is only
question of a comparatively few years until
their banks and trust companies will be obliged
"to invade the Eastern and New England States
ito loan their money at profitable rates.
This is the record of just one section-but typi-
cal absolutely Of the progress that rules in
every productive part of our whole land. Wall
Street in its professionalism and prejudice
doesn't know the west, doesn't know the south
vaguely possibility.
