Farmers Still The

portant item In the New York Weekly
Financial Review OF July 25:
Events during the week we're al
most universally Oil the side OF i'm.
provement. Our crops are making
excellent progress; business shows
better secuperative powers; con.
fidence Is rising; the security markets
have beenusually strong, and In general
the treudof the times Is towards leaving
the panic behind and forgetting its
consequences for the present at least.
Thus July, Which is often
period OF deterioration, has been
month Of steady improvement In the
condition OF corn, cotton and wheat:
so that to-day the prospect is for
still larger yield Of these crops than
indicated in the last Government
report. Should favorable weather
continue and early frosts be escaped
we would come very near having
bumper crops; but this is too much
to expect and there Is abundant reason
for hopefulbess In remem boring that
owing to good prices our farmers are
likely to produce fully 5000, 900, 900 Of
new wealth or about $500, 200, 900 more
than last year. Truely our farmers
are still the back bone of the country;
for they at least are prosperous and
will be good buyers OF the necessities
Of life and many luxuries. This will
work for contentment, not only In the
business world, but In the political
field, which Is factor OF no little
Importance during Presidential cam.
