SHORT CROP ABROAD
 TO RAISE PRICES HERE

Chicago. July 27.-sThe United States is the only large wheat producer in the world that will have big crop this year. One foreign operator puts it thus: sConsuming countries of E1u- rope must look to America for it's supplies, and 1t is in position to command any reasonable price asked. ''
 There are a few men who are be- ginning to realize that the trade in thfsk country has apparently been so blinded by the large crop and heavy movement at home that they can see nothing but lower prices. Europe. however, sees its differently. They have bought wheat from the United States more freely than in any recent year. It is true that they stand for a. loss in such purchases, Judging by present values But there might easily be a change later, and present prices may look reasonable before the sea- son Is over.
 That the worlds wheat crop, as g whole, will be short of last years now seems certain, though the loss may not be large as Is estimated at pres ent- All depends upon the outcome of the various spring wheat crops, which are 25 per cent. of the worlds total production
 Last years total worlds wheat crop is generally estimated at 4o69, ,331, 900 bushels, compared with 3,s3o, ,79s, 600 bushels in 1912. It was absolutely a high-record yield.

COAL PRODUCTION FOR
 1914 SETS NEW RECORD

Washington, July 27.1rhe produc- ton of coal in the United States has again broken all previous records, the output for 1913 being 7O,04S, ,125 short tons. which is considered more than double the production of 1900 and more than the production of 1880, ac- cording to a statement issued today by the United States Geological Sur vey. The value of the coal mined in 1913 is given as $76O, 488, 7s5-
 Compared with the previous year the output for 1918 shows an increase of 8, 5s1, ,545 tons, on nearly z per cent The increased activity indicated by these figures was well distri buted throughout the 29 coal-producing states, B of which showed increases and only 6 decreased production. the decrease in some of theSe-Colorado- being due solely to labor trouble.
 Of these showing increase, 12 made record yields, and Pennsylvania, the leading coal state broke records in both bituminous and anthracite pro- duction.. The. states which broke all former records in coal production were Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Mon tana, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Vir- ginia, and West Virginia.
 The development of the coal mining industry with reference to population presents some interesting compari- sons In 1850 the coal output was 7.o18, 1S1 tons, or o.S ton for each of the 23, ,191. .S76 inhabitants; in 1880 the pop ulation had increased to about 5o, 900, GOO and the production of coal to about n, 100000 tons; an average of f.42 tons per capita

STEEL BOOM BACKS
 UP WILL SON PROPHECY

Pittsburgh, July 27-When the story of the steel trade in 1914 is written, July 20 will be selected as the turning point, although, as this correspondence has pointed out, sen timenta1 improvement really set in five weeks earlier.
 But, as noted a week ago, the first price advances-thoSe in steel wire -nails-became effective July 20. In the week which began then prices of bars plates and shapes, the real bar ometer of steel values, were advanced $1 a ton, first by the leading inter est and Immediately afterwards by in- shapes are now definitely at 8 min irnurn of 1.15c Pittsburgh base, which means 131c New York and 1:30c l,hiladelphia.
 The steel trade has ''perked up" greatly within the week. Orders have Improved and operations are at a slightly higher percentage of capa- city. The greatest improvement has been in sentiment, and the attitude of the trade furnishes strong corro- beration of President wilson's diag- nosis of the business depression be- ing psychological
 The mere announcement that all quotations of less than 1:15c had been withdrawn by all. of the prin- cipal makers of bars, plates and shapes, sent a current or cheer through all avenues of the trade, and the blue goggles were thrown to the ash heap by those who had persisted in wearing them.
 Almost immediately came an nouncements of working forces being augmented. of mills going on double turn and of the furnaces being blown in. The lowering of tin plate prices passed unnoticed, being recognized as a cpnsequence of the prevailing low price of pig tin which has hung around 3 K cents for some time and shows no sign of going higher.
 As pig tin is not a domestic pro- duct and the money paid for it helps to cut down our trade credit balance no one is losing sleep over it's low cost Imports of pig tin plate have increased greatly under the new tar if, but the tin plate mills of this country have been and are the busi- est section of the steel trade. The plenitude of the crops assures heavy calls for tin plate from the canning industry
