Attention to Apartment Houses.
Barnard & Chldress, with offices at
l4l2 q street northwest, was organized in
April, 1907, and IS just one year old. The
president Of the company had a careful
training in the fundamentals of the real
estate business through several years
connection with the property department
Of the Washington Loan and Trust Com
pany. In the new firm he looks after the
sales department, and is building up a
fine business.
The treasurer and secretary studied the
rental problem in this city in one OF the
local offices. which is reputed to have
one Of the largest rental lists in Wash
ington-one which takes in all kinds of
property, in all sections Of the District of
Columbia Mr.. Childress brought this
knowledge and experience to bear upon
the rental management of a number of
apartment houses, which the firm took
over as the foundation Of their business.
The company is particularly interested
in this class Of property, having on their
list high-grade, but reasonably priced,
apartments, in the rental Of which the
firm has been very successful. This firm
has contracts for the management of
several new houses Of this character now

WHEAT CROP In ARGENTINA
Enormous Yield Upsets the judy
ment Of Spectators.
Quick Return 10 Prosperity Indi-
Gated by the Fall I'm Price of
Worlds Great Staple.

About the opening OF the year wheat
sold in Chicago and New York at 81 a
hushel The high point OF January was
Sl09 At that time the bulls were very
aggressive, the financial press was full
Of predictions that wheat would sell at
sl.25 before the beginning of May. Eng
lish opinion was even more positive than
American that a great bull market in
wheat was pending, and that the price
could not fall below 81 before the next
harvest, and not then unless the North
American crop should be q record
breaking one.
This judgment of the speculative world
seemed justified and the rosy opinions OF
the winter were undoubtedly sincere and
based upon the best information then at
tainable
But in the face OF these predictions spot
wheat had declined in New York by Feb
ruary IS TO 81 3-S cents a bushel, but even
then the courage of the bulls did not
waver. and before the close of February
the price had rallied to SlO5. Since then,
however, the course Of prices has been
continuously downward 10 81 cents and
still going lower II is quite probable
that by the beginning of May wheat may
fall below 90 cents
The explanation Of it all is found in
the great crop of wheat harvested in the
Argentine Republic during the three
months from January / to March 81. and
now being delivered to the markets Of
the world Just how big this crop is
can be discovered from the recent totals
cabied from Buenos Ayres last week. The
official crop for Argentina is given at
202, 100000 bushels, as compared with 49,
o00,0o0 in 1907 and 100000 in 1906 The
official export figures for the three
months ended March 81 are given at
64,o0e,oo0 this year, as compared with
30 S00,000 last year, and 81, 0000 600 In 1906.
Ii Is now expected that Argentina will
throw into the worlds market at least
100 009 900 bushels of wheat, most of il
before the American, Canadian, and Rus
sian harvests are available. In fact, the
average weekly shipments of wheat
from argentina for the past two months
has been 4925,000 bushels, and this
amount will increase rather than dimin-
ish during the month of May.
This means an enormous flow Of gold
to Argentina for one thing. and it is
likely 10 affect in some measure the out
put Of spring wheat in the great North
west. though it is thought by many that
the real proportions of the Argentina crop
were not known there soon enough to
head off the impulse of high prices in
January and February.
What viii be the effect OF a great har-
vest in the United States and Canada.
To which everybody seems to be looking
forward at the present time? It will
mean lower prices for cereals. much mon
ey for the wheatproducing territory, and
the quickest possible return of prosperity
after the recent financial depression in
all parts of the world.

According TO Consul john f. Hamilton,

mand for American cured hams, bacon,

seems to prove that the hams, lard, and
bacon cured in the United States are
more appreciated than the Canadian
products. The hams and bacon particu-
