To June IS All Is Well.

Chicago, June 16.-Current OF gen
eral opinion favors the idea that July
corn will become the sport of kings
will crystalize into a scarcity prop
osition. We share bullish ideas, but
not the extreme extent of some pub
lished opinions. New corn crop news
presumably has no place in determin-
ing the price of July contracts, yet il
must be accorded some influence. I'm
doubtedIy damage will stimulate. Then
a near record July l promise would
check.
The crop of the seven surplus states
controls the corn price. Acreage of
this corn monopolistic seven territor-
les in 1913 was 51,600.O00 To June 10
the news and weather happenings in
dictate that 3S.OOO,O 900 of these are in
excellent shape. The balance may be
dry. but the general July l condition

average of SO to 81.

Old wheat is passing into consump-

The wheat question has dwindled

The wheat rallies which mark the
end of a downturn have not arrived

port demand is irregular.
The Carothers observatory Cof

1t is pretty generally accept
ed among men who have stud
led the records of these things
ever since records were kept,
and who have the very best
possible means of information,
that no disturbance of any
kind that man has yet been
able to create ON this planet
has any appreciate influence
on the weather. 1t was believ-
ed rather generally that by
planting or cutting down for
csts men could influence the
rainfall This idea has been
exploded. The removal of a
forest does influence what rain
fall does to the country form
erly covered by the forest, and
that influence may extend for
hundreds or thousands Of
miles along the course of a riv-
cr, and be felt in the form of
floods or low water, but the
records show that the annual
and monthly and weekly rain
fall remains unchanged. Per-
iods of wet and dry weather
follow each other as before. 1t
is Sc with breaking of sod and
the cultivation of land, with
the sowing of crops and the
drainage of marshes, and with
everything else that has been
done. The extremes and the
means of rainfall and temper
allure remain as they were and
just as we become definitely
convinced that the climate has
changed for good, we are Civ
Ell a sample of real old-fash-
toned weather." which knocks
all our new theories into a
