Crop Outlook Flattering.

Moreover. in fairness is to be record
ed the fact that very generally
throughout the country the sentiment
is that the crop outlook at present
is more than good. is catering. In SO
far staples are concerned there has
been some damage to winter wheat
and cotton prospects suffered slightly
'because Of the floods. But these are
the only doubtful spots affecting the
years yield. For all other crops. notably
hay and corn, the outlook Is more than
excellent An important banker thus
summarizes this view and its hopeful
ness in a letter / have just received:
Wall street is justified in pnning it's
faith to good crops, for they are the very
foundation of prosperity. They mean in
crease of wealth for the agricultural COM
munty--increase of buying power. The
inevitable sequence of such increase is
markets. swelling interchange Of traffic.
One direct result, felt Immediately after
harvest time, is growth OF railroad traf-
fc. In very truth not one single channel
of American business but through which
flows the stimulus of good crops. They
are the fountain which fertiliZes all. That
the market just now stays Stagnant is
due to the undoubted fact that there is
YET time for crop damage to develop, but
every day we get further from the dan
ger line. The heavy rains Of the spring
have made the soil rich and normal
summer will spangle the land with glad
harvests in every state.

TESTIMONY OF ROCKEFELLER
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

NEW YORK. June Politics viii be

erward, in aggravated form. Wall street
has been trying hard to make il appear
that the stock market had become in
different to political influences. 1t was
all pretense. The street cannot accus-
getting away from the fact that the
uncertainties and complexities of the
campaign will be live factors in the stock
market situation.
Trading in stocks is now on a basis
of 1 points to 10 points below the high
bull movement about month ago. Dur
ing May there was sharp recovery from
the reaction level of about three weeks
ago, but prices do not hold. and, talk as
you may. the element of investment and
speculative confidence is lacking. Not as
many holders are liquidatng as might be
supposed, but there are fewer buyers. and
such as there are appear to be in no
hurry. They do not buy on the bulges
and are slow on the reactions, bad
sign. 1t is SO regarded by the veterans
IN the game. On the rallies the market
invariably gets dull. 1t is on the breaks
that periods of greatest activity are seen
bad sign.
wise is concentrating on the possible re-
suits of the Chicago convention. The
committee headquarters in Chicago will
be the center of the stage for the next
fortnight, so far as Wall street news
goes.

Money Trust" Probe Ignored.

Wall street has thus far given scant
attention to the money trust investiga-

interest from the financial community

statement was the very small actual cash

Avoids Giving Information.

The richest man in the world. John
D. Rockefeller. has been staged this
week in Wall street. He was on the
witness stand for nearly whole day
and at the conclusion of his testimony
the opposing counsel complained that
the multf-millionaire had not answered
single question or given scrap of
information. Lets begin all over"
said Mr.. Rockefeller. with smile.
which an unfriendly critic described as
senile. Mr.. Rockefeller is not seniie
He is the same. inScrutable quiet
master of men and dictator of great
affairs that he has always been. From
him emanates an Understandable yet ir-
resistible hypnotic influence. He Gre
ated the greatest business organization
the world has ever seen, put his own
trained men in charge and set it in
motion. The organization was SO per-
feet that 1T has seemed TO run itself
Yet 1t represents the personality and
genius OF the maker, and has grown
stronger and more potent year after
year. Mr.. Rockefeller Is q man of mys-
terry to his most intimate associates.
In manner and speech he Is almost
apologize, and at first blush he produces
the impression that he is In constant fear
ne might hurt somebody's feelings. Miss
Tarbell would not be willing to admit
that he has always carried this apparent
humility into his business dealings and
plans. There are others who are i'm
pressed with the Tarbell theory on this
subject. A late estimate places the value
of Mr. Rockefeller at oO0Do,OO0. and
his annual income at $6O.oO0.OO1. He will
have to work twice as hard as Mr.. Car
negie to die poor. being worth twice as
much as the old ironmaster.
The crop reports that reach Wall street
are in the main encouraging. They have
been used with some effect to bolster up
the confidence of operators in the stock
market and investors in general. The
conservative element insists that crops
are the only thing after all, and that
in the final analysis it will be found that
the prosperity of the country Is only de-
pendent in a small degree on who may
be elected President or on what Congress
may do In the natural order of things
and within the allowed limitations.

Hesitation in Business.

The business situation remains about in
statu quo. There. too, is to be observed
a spirit of hesitation. The really big
people of the industrial world seem quite
content to hold back and await develop
ments. meantime feeling pretty good over
the improvement in trade and the very
moderate profits they are getting in many
of the divisions of activity, where the
winnings We're fabulously large in boom
times. Our population is increasing, and
1t keeps the machinery of business in
fairly swift motion to provide for the
wants of our hundred million souls. Mean
while, savings are accommodating and
more capital Is piling up for the develop
ment of our national resources. Since
the beginning of the year more than
$1,OOO,OUO.OOO in new bonds and stocks
have been issued and in the main sub
scrfbed for. a good share of this has
been for expansion and enlargement of
existing facilities for the handling Of
passengers and freight in one form or
another. In the city of New York alone
provision has been made for the ex-
pendfture of more than s2JO,OOO.OO0 in
subways and additional street car lines
In nearly every big city in the country
the railroads are enlargng their termi-
nails for the better handling Of traffic. We
are becoming more civilized every day
and that is something that calls for huge
aggregate expenditures. To keep up
with the times costs big money. The
American people have it. and even though
times are said to be hard. cash is forth
coming In any amount when ii is needed
For INSTANCE. 1t costs an enormous
sum of money annually to maintain our
railroads; nearly, if not quite. $780,
100000 goes tito new ties. About 5000
ties are laid on every mile of rail-
road. and there are 100000 miles of
roads. This calls for S32,00O,000 ties
The life of a tie is about seven years,
and the annual replenishment is there
fore about 12O,000,000 ties. which costs
from 60 cents to 81 apiece. few
years ago ties could be bought for
from 40 to so cents each. We are ap-
preaching the day when the bulk of
our wooden ties will have to be i'm
ported, and some of us will live to see
steel ties replace wooden ties on all
our main lines. The gap between cost
is narrowing every day. Ties are only
one item in the many which go to
bring the annual cost of maintenance
up to about $3.50 900 900 a wear
