SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.-Chris-

AMERICA APPROACHES WIDEST
PROSPERITY OF ITS HISTORY

william C. Cornwell of ]. s. Bache Co.
(who writes the Weekly Financial Review
issued by that frm). recently spent some
time in Europe. and in discussing this sub
ject said:
Il found last month in London feeling
of distrust and confirmed doubt as 10 the
immediate rehabilitating Of American busl-
ness and quick return to prosperity The
bankers there felt that 1T would take con-
siderable time for normal conditions TO De
resumed. They pointed to the history OF
other panics in our country, showing that
it took three four years after debacles
Of the magnitude of the recent one before
business got back to normal Conse-
duently they felt that our stock market
prices were too high Inasmuch as the steel
business is the barometer Of the whole
situation. attention was centered on the
prices of steel stock. and they felt that
these prices were much too high As re-
suit of all this they told me that nearly
every speculator was short OF steel ana
that there was in the London market
short interest i'm Steel common of very great
maEnitude Englishmen do not change
their opinions readily, and have no doubt
that this short position is stiu obstinately
maintained by very many operators there'
.Foreigners are not near enough to the
pulse of our business life to thoroughly
understand conditions here. The panic or
9O7 was out of place andSunwarranted by
any real unsoundness in credit The after
happenings show this. Banks that went
down have all resumed or paid up. The
few large corporations that went into re-
ceivers' hands have dismissed the receiV-
ership and are doing good and growing
business No railroads of importance fell
into bankruptcy, and the minor railways
that succumbed are all of them on the eve
of reorganization. All this shows that
credit was sound. We had only two or
three years of steaming prosperity ana
things hadn't time to get over-infated'
Another very Important difference be-
tween this and other large panics was the
condition of the farmers, In 1898 the tar-
mers we're in debt. The farms throughout
the west and south We're covered with
MORTGAGES. They were held by eastern capl-
talists and the east was badly crippled. Ihe
result was that the farmers had to lay
down and it took a long time for the whole
country to recover This time the mortgages
had been widely paid up and the farmers
were rich. Some Of them didn't know there
had been a panic. They went right on and
raised another crop and sold 1t at big
Nrices The east pessimistic, but the
west and south began to spend their crop
money and to the surprise and delight OF
the east business commenced 10 get active
along the farm border and the activity is
steadily spreading all over the country We
are approaching the greatest prosperity we
have ever had in America"

a quick rebound in case of light country offer

the edge off the market.
CORN-Bottom prices on corn were made on
first trades when July touched b6ssc and sep
tember 635sc, The upturn from these figures
was as prompt it was in wheat From
receipts of 421 cars this morning there was
drop to 12O cars for tomorrow. Wet weather
is a bullish feature, as many sections are re

shorts were active buyers on the advance
Corn prices cannot be depressed without large
offerings on the part of the country.
OATS-Prices had strong advance for the
day. Wet weather is an important bull tea-

from Illinois and other states.
PROVISIONS-There was not the usual ac-

end prices were a little lower after showing
substantial support, and some breaks during
the morning, advanced later. 1t is a healthy

LOS ANGELES STOCK EXCHANGE

A fairly active market yesterday contrasted

NEW YORK, July 7-Today's cotton mar
l{ot opened shade below yesterdays figures
and at the time of our opening the Liverpool
market had made a fun response to Ameri-
can market. Weakness, however, developed in
the foreign cables, and the closing Of the Liv-
erpool market looked very fiat and tame, with
the steam gone. American markets were sus-
tanned by scale buying which for a time was
heavy enough to absorb the liquidation going
on and at one time caused the market to show
a partial recovery, but the general tendency
done rather than continue its upward flight
Recent buying has been by new and expert
enced operators, and some of the pyramids
that were not started until cotton got above
the 1l15c level were made top heavy by the
added purchases late yesterday and early to-
day. The best bulls are willing and anxious
T., see a little setback, But it would be healthy
for the market and would eliminate therefrom
a lot of cotton which is held on shoestring
margins and an overplus of nerve. The week
lv weather report more than expectedly
bullish. and the temperature in the belt con-
tinues rather high in the western half. The
weather in the central belt however, is Of an
inproving character and from Mississippi and
Alabama better crop accounts may be ex-
nccted shortly The spinners will become rec
onciled to the new level of values, and in
few days will give their support and prices
will again pursue their upward course. The
semi-weekly statistics were bullish, showing
about half Of the receipts of last year. While
those a year ago, causing interior stocks to
exhaust rapidly and it is doubtful if the spin
ner can find the cotton he needs without paying
,iErniurns secure it.
