WALL STREET REVIEW.

l New York, April s.-There is nc question that there is a steady but quiet improvement going on in the | business world. During the week the l United States Steel Corporation pu, l every department of the Illinois Steel Company plant to work. John Clafliu
 acknowledged that the dry goods trade showed improvement and, was in a | healthier state than for a long time | There is also a better feeling in the 1 copper metal trades. and the only sore spot is the crop outlook or rather the outlook for wheat. The indications, however so early in the season do not l always mean crop shortage. A short age in winter wheat in April may cas- | fly enough turn itself into larger yields of other varieties later on when the harvest is reaped in the fields in stead of in the newspapers Besides
 an indicated April shortage of winter wheat may not be realized in the har- vest itself. Thus in 1906 there was an indica tion of 414, ,722, 900 bushels of winter wheat as late as June, and the true yield was 492, ,sSS, GOO. The hope for something of that sort this year rests in part on the fact that the crop ing average as they say of the bank statement.
 That the general situation continues to improve is proved by the bank clearings which are a good barometer of business activity. Chicago bank
 clearings for March broke all previous
 records The clearings for the month were 1, POE, ,S01 900 as compared with
 s1, O04, OS9, 900 for February and s1,03O,-
 O34, 900 for March, 1908.
 Gold reports ceased but this looks to 'be only temporary as sterling exchange
 rates rose during the week again close to the gold point. It is prob able that during the year we will suf- fer as much from a redundancy of currency as in 1907 we suffered from a Stringency.
 The Patten wheat cornay was tba feature of the week. Prices reached the highest figure since the Letter corner and in England the highest price on record for wheat was touch ed. Conditions helped the PattenS as
 much as the selling by the shorts of something they did not have. It is
 estimated that the bull leaders have
 cleared about s2, 100000 on one line and
 another line of between 10000, GOO and 15, 900, GOO bushels
 It is apparent that the Erie in the first nine months of the year has
 earned surplus over all fixed charges
 of S2, 2,500,G00. And inasmuch as the earnings for April. May and June will
 match up with the disastrous earnings l in April, May and June, 190S the prob abilities are that the earnings for the
 last quarter of the year will show very large increases.
 Market conditions are discounting the improvements in business eight months
 from now Prices are high but there is little public buyin, there is req son to believe that prices will still ad- vance, but it is safe to take quick profits in stocks as a good deal of inn
 provement has been discounted The market now is but fourteen points un- der the high prices of January, 19O6 and it is Al points above the low prices of the panic, so conservatism is or der even though the ultimate tendency
 of prices is to still higher levels. l. R BURTON
