LOOKING BETTER.
Several Conditions CON-
binet to Help the Market.
Better Crop Reports and the
Breaking Of Wheat Corner
Together With More Cheerful Tone
In Metal Markets, Help Finance.

New York, April 25.-The develop
ments in the outlook for affairs last
week We're regarded as distinctly favor
able from q financial standpoint. The
effect was to stimulate renewed de-
mand fer securities sufficient to out
weight the disadvantages in the tech
nical position in the stock market and
to turn the price movement upwards
again. The disadvantage in the tech
nical position lay in the extent to
which the rise in prices had been car
ried, the large increase in the long ac-
count, and the disposition to close it
out at the profits accrued This dis
position operated to cause a WaVering
of the price movement during part of
the week, which was read as an in
deX of uncertain sentiment over the
further progress of improvement in
conditions.
The most potent factor in bringing
speculative sentiment out of this state
Of hesitation was the improved grain
crop advices and practical breaking
down of the speculative corner in
wheat. The slump in wheat was so
clear demonstration of the previous
which the advance had been based lost
their power to convince. Moreover
the news from the wheat fields was so
distinctly encouraging as to dissipate
the incipient crop scare which hung
over the financial markets the week
before. Plans for seeding of spring
wheat and of corn We're said to be on
so extensive A scale as to indicate a
larger supplement than usual to the
harvest prospect customary at this
period.
A more cheerful feeling in the great
basic metal trades was another int1u-
entail factor in shaping the financial
view. Reports OF the growth of the
general merchandise movement and of
the increase of railroad traffic were
more conservative, although incoming
reports Of railroad earnings showed
gratifying comparisons with the low
earning power of this period last year.
In the coal trade, the feature was the
further conferences for settlement of
the anthracite mining wages and the
growing confidence that an agreement
was in sight.

tile is laid, land values will double, as
production will warrant at least that
much. Farms are selling from $50 to
