| er per unit than last year. 1t is to be
assumed that shipments from this
time on will be less active than here
tofore because the supply of currency
| is small and many of the farmers re-
fuse to accept checks. This very fact,
however shows the producing class
are financially strong enough to sell
when they get ready. The country
dinarily at this time of the year. but
are holding it for fear it will be
boarded by individuals If paid out.
The excess of shipments of currency
Der was $24,711,51O, against $16,765,-
500 the corresponding month of last
year. The banks in Chicago are treat
ing country banks as they do individ-
uals that is, giving them the little cur
rency they must have and holding the
remainder for future needs The
banks in Chicago also have been call
ing loans to grain men to some extent
IN order to force the produce to mar
ket- The consequence has been a de-
cline in the price of agricultural pro-
ducts. The amount of money that
can be realized in the west from ag-
ricultural products is well indicated
by the fact that the visible supply of
wheat In this country is now over 49,
900, 600 bushels against 100000
a year ago while the price is material
ly higher. The situation in the west
generally is better than some other
PdrlS Oh the country Dy virtue OF the
fact that speculation has been on a
very small scale for two or three years
past. AS long ago as the fall of 1905
and again in the autumn of 1906 the
strongest appeals were made to Chi
cago and other parts of the west to
buy stocks at the high prices then pre-
Vallfng. These apeals fell on deaf
ears. There was no buying except of
the smaller sort. When the break of
last March came therefore and again
during the collapse of last month few
losses were incurred in the west
There has not been a whisper of dan
ger to any of the well known broker
age houses in Chicago, and the extent
Of the losses in stocks from a specula-
tive point Of view is measured by the
of two or three capitalists
and the common run of one-hundred-
share operators. The situation Is
therefore very strong one. and the
future depends only on the
Skill and luck with which the banks
steer this section of the country out Of
the maze of clearing house checks and
payroll checks and into the normal
condition in which current money will
be as abundant as 1t was before the
panic came on. Thus far the affair
appears to have been managed with
much ability and with discretion,

Topeka, Kan, Nov. S.-WHEAT-The
wheat market shows a decline during the
past week of over 4c below the closing
prices one week ago. Many things have
contributed towards the weakness in this
grain chief among them being the finan-
cial trouble among the banks Exports of
wheat are smaller and European demands
seem to be supplied for the time being.
Liquidation in the December option has
been thorough. the May wheat selling al
most 1Oc over the December. Bear traders
are making the most of the financial
trouble and an opinion at this time is vail
ueless, but as has always been the exper-
fence heretofore, prices will be carried
below their intrinsic worth of the commo-
dity.
In spite of the fact that wheat has been
declining since about the middle of Octo-
Der prices of that cereal is still about lie
higher than at the same time last year.
The yields, however of the principal grain
crops of the United States this year are
about 800 100000 bushels less than last yea
or a deficiency of II per cent. If present
prices are maintained the value In money

farms will be the greatest in the history
of the country. give below the actual
farm values Of the principal crops of 1906.

The corn market also shows decline
for the week. but this cereal only declined
about one-half as much wheat. The
government report issued yesterday
makes the preliminary estimates Of this
report on Geo. 10 last month figuring on
the basis Of Is per cent, showed the total
crop to be about q 10000 900 bushels. Eleven
years ago the official average corn crop
was about 900 000. 000 and there was such
great excess over requirements that corn
sold from 20 to % cents per bushel in Chi
cago and from 10 to Is cents in kansas
Last wear with a crop of over 2 900. 1000
bushels cash corn is selling in Chicago at
about Coo per bushel and over SOC in the
other parts of the country.
The situation in stocks just at this time
looks decidedly better then one week ago
and the standard railroad stocks and in
dustriaIs show an advance of from to
points better than last week. In my opin-
ion the most conspicuous in strength are
the u. s. Steel stocks. They show more
resistance at this level Of price than any
other stock on the list. Both common and
preferred at ruling prices will net the in
weston about 9 per cent on his money.
