Henry CleWs Reviews the
National Trade Conditions

Our crop outlook is becoming of in
creasing importance. The condition Of
winter wheat is anything but satisfac-
tory, the acreage being considerably
smaller than year ago and condition
lower. While there has been some
Improvement in the latter respect.
the prospects are that the winter crop
will be the lowest since 1904. some
estimates placing 1t as low as 426.000,-
900 bushels. The effect Of this Is al
ready seen in the abnormally high
prices for wheat; for the worlds
crop of wheat is unquestionably short
and has not kept pace with the
growth in population. 1t is possible
that a much greater area will be
planted than usual in spring wheat.
but as winter wheat usually forms
about two-thirds of the whole crop
the significance of the present situa-
ton is easily understood. Moreover
high prices for wheat are not gen.
orally considered sound bull argu-
ment on stocks. Indications point to
considerable Increase In the acre
age of corn, and as this has proved a
very profitable crop at recent prices
there is more reason for hopefulness
regarding this staple than in wheat
1t is altogether too early, however, to
form any reliable opinions regarding
the crops, although much depends up
on satisfactory harvest. Crop fail
ures next fall would be particularly
unfortunate, coming at time of bust
ness depression when the cost of food
is already unreasonably high. Our
farmers should be persuaded to pro-
duce as large crops as possible dur
ing the coming year. In doing this
they will not only benefit themsel
yes, but it is in their power to do more
than any other class in the country

toward lifting the nation out of ex-
listing depression.
General trade conditions, while
somewhat mixed, present a decided
element of nopefulness. Business is
tendency is certainly towards I'M
provement, especially where orders
have been stimulated by concessions
in prices. More activity is shown In
iron and steel rs the result of lower
prices. and the revival of building. es-
pecially OF large structures, is attrib-
utable to this cause. The general con-
dition of business is sound and con-
fidence is rising. There is no doubt
that recuperative influences are
steadily at work: costs are being re-
duced, and only time is required TO
bring about more normal conditions.
OF course, the tariff is still an i'm
pediment. There is no special anxiety.
however, regarding final results. Lit
tie probability exists of any disturb
ing reductions. and now that the
features has practically failed in the
house the prospects are that more
workable measure will be introduced
by Senator Aldrich. II revenue is
what the government needs, the best
thing to do would be to revive the
stamp taxes, which can be made to
produce large revenue in the east
est, most effective and least objection
able way. Evidently the tariff will be
revised by its friends. and there is lit
tie reason to look for any radical or
important changes. This minimizes
the importance of the tariff in the
stock market, which will probably
feel only indirectly the relief which
must come to general business when
the issue is settled. That event may
be postponed until the end of May. or
even later. No one can forete1l.

When Peter found that he was real

Of Mary and began to knock and con-
tinued knocking till he gained admis-
sion. Had they been expecting the
answer they would have had some one
on the lookout for Peter to open quick

Rhoda was mad because she said he
was at the gate. and when she insisted
that 1t was SO they said it was his an

We have yet another lesson on Peter
before we take up the story OF Saul Of
Tarsus or the option Of an Easter les
son from I Cor. xv. but as we desire
to miss nothing from the Acts and as
the regular Lesson is manifestation
of the power Of the risen Christ we
take the regular order. We'have seen
thus far in this book that all the
teaching has been concerning a cruel
fed and risen Christ and that the
thousands saved-the lame man. and
the palsied man healed, and the dead
all in the name and by the
power Of the risen and slorified Re.
deemer From the time OF the en-
trance of sin into the world up to the
present time and on to the end OF this
age the opposition OF the devil, the
god Of this world. is very manifest.

Somewhere in the city. in the house
of Mary, the sister Of Barnabas, the
