BUSINESS AND CROPS

This is assuredly an era when there
is reversal in the usual order of all
| things in which men have their fin
gers. Ordinarily, in a presidential
year when the result has happened to
be in more or less doubt, Wall street,
considered by many to be the finan-
cfal and business barometer of the ma
ton, has gone into the doldrums
There hasn't been a presidential year
since the period of the Civil war when
there was as much excitement and
uncertainty in the political arena as
there is on the present occasion. And
yet, the stocks and bonds which are
traded in on Wall street are more
buoyant now than they have been for
long time. OF course, business big
and little will be susceptible to poll
tics for a long time to come, but that
the business men are much more in
different than they used to be to the
mouthings of the politicians, is a
great good thing for the people of
the country as whole. It is all very
well for visionary reformers to make
shoots at prosperity as being far less
essential than letting the people
rule But a material prosperity is
essential to civilization's advancement
II any one doubts this he might be-
come convinced by reviewing the his
tory and progress of the German en-
pire during the past score of years.
In his weekly financial review,
Henry Clews, the New York banker
and economist, says the most favor
able element for better business in the
immediate future is the crop outlook,
which he reviews interestingly as fol-
lows:
Although the season is still two to
three weeks backward, there has
been a decided Improvement in condi-
lions during the past two weeks. The
outlook for grain is much better;
large hay crop is in prospect, and in
many sections of the country the out
look for fruit is for the largest yield
in several years There is also a good
chance for corn, in spite of the late
ness of the season. In various states
it is evident that the farmers are go
ing to plant as large an acreage as
possible in order to reap the advan-
tage of present high profitable prices.
With fair average weather during the
balance of the season the farmers Of
the West are justified in looking for
ward to another prosperous year. As
a rule a late spring means late fall;
but wet spring is apt to give plant
life a vigorous start and a constitu-
tion better able to stand adverse con-
ditions during summer. The cotton
crop is exceedingly late, and it is still
too early to form any positive idea as
to this years acreage, although the
general opinion inclines toward a de-
crease. In the crop position as
whole there is, therefore, no reason
for discouragement. and in many
respects the outlook is much better
