Mornino Grain Letter,

Chicago, June 1.-B. w. Snow threw
the biggest June wheat estimate into
the pit ever known with the chance of
total wheat crop of 9O0, 100000. Op-
eratfons in wheat indicate that the
nine big countries outside Russia will
raise 100000 to 100, 100000 less than
a year ago.
Shows figures were questioned. He
places winter wheat at 92.6, spring
wheat at 96.7, and oats at 81.
July wheat is under the influence of
the 10c and 12c cash wheat premiums
Popular sentiment favors bulge
sales
The oats world is not afraid of a
June estimate of 1.100.O00 900. A small
oats crop was formerly 100000. 900 or
900,0O0,00O. Now it is probably a bill
lion.
Corn bears are afraid that the June
run will be small and Argentine fails
TO relieve their position.
Packers have been successful in low
ering the hog prices.
Foster predicts very serious drouth
between June 10 and 80.
Oats and corn promise residence.
The June cotton condition of "A is the
lowest since the 70.5 of 1907 and sug-
gests poor corn and oats conditions in
many southern states.

China's New Provisional Constitution

~ no prospect of another revolution in
! China: Mr.. Ma 500 may or may not
represent the ideals and aspirations
| of DR.. Sun Yat-sen. DR.. Sun is now in
Tokyo. 1t has been charged against
him that he has been trying to organ
ize revolt, but his best friends will
hope that this is not true, because the
| Chinese are tired of turmoil, and they
are desperately eager to consolidate
hitherto discordant elements, and to
come together in truly national may.
! The last advices from China prove
these stories as to new revolutions,
which are continually cropping up, to
be absurd canards. 1 have positive
evidence that even the former revolu-
tionists are not working in harmony.
Some of the other leaders do not hest
tate to say that DIR. Sun is dreamer
and should no longer be leader.
With regard to the Picking story
referred to, | may say that it is very
apparently unworthy of serious notice.
In the first place it is dated April Is,
and il processes 10 give the terms of
the provisional constitution, although
this document was not then completed.
In giving its supposed terms it, pur-
posely or otherwise. omits all refer
ence to clauses showing the liberal at
titude of the Chinese administration
towards republican institutions. 1t
makes several grave misstatements in
its presentation of China's financial sit
uatiOn.
The dispatch states that the re-
vised budget prepared by the fir ance
commission shows that China has a
total net revenue of 5000, 200, 900 and a
net expenditure of over $500, 900, 600
The total deficit that must be met this
year is 100000. Moreover, half
the total revenue is swallowed up by
foreign obligations, of which the pub !
lished statements show no sign 1t |
then goes on to say that the only hope
of Strengthening ont the financial angle !!
is in foreign Intervention, partition and |
in an international debt commission |
Now, the facts are in absolute con-
tradiction to this statement. In the |
first place, the budget as recently re- !
vised showed estimated revenue taels |
00,000,000 (S162, 00O,000) against an
of taels 333,000,O00 (s179,-
$50, 900, leaving a deficit of taels 3d.
10000 (s17,s2O, 0OO).
This deficit is to be met by internal
taxes on wines, spirits, tobacco and
other luxuries
I'm October last President Yuan
Shihkai commenced a systematic pro-
oaganda to relieve China of the burden

wAGNER'S REVIEW
First Half of June.

Chicago. June IA glance over the
records of June for last FIVE years
shows a firm period for corn and oats
and no serious net decline for wheat.
The early June trend in wheat, how
ever. is often lower-but after the gov
eminent report wheat is apt to sur
prise the. bears by it's June resistance.
The winter wheat crop rarely de-
clines seriously in June, but the famed
wedding month has been a fatal Pc
Rod for spring wheat In three out Of
the last four year. the average depre-
citation of last four years being 10
points. June is also a month OF aver
age oats damage. September oats
when at moderate levels (as at pres
ent) usually display strength in June.
The steady strength OF September
corn during June should be noted and
the best break of five-year period was
the dip from 72Z to 701a in 1912. The
September wheat declines in June are
also not usually extended, though the
early June softness is found on time.
An average drop of 21A has brought
June lows in the 19O9-13 period.
June brings a jump of 10 points in
temperature and a demand for large
rains. 1t is a month that rarely
misses crop damage in some section
of the globe. For last two years Eur
ope has imported large amounts OF
wheat in June. This year the main
June exporting burden falls on Ameri-
ca and Russia.
Junes that follow wheat bullish
Mays are in line for downward move
ments in early June. AS a rule-fol-
lowing this early June ease-the in
vestor discovers that June is too deep
~ imbedded in the world crop raising
period to become a serious bear affair.
Foster outlines a drouth scare for
June with the warning that the month
will be hard on crops in many sec
tons. He is emphatic and usually
when emphatic is correct.
The history of June is distinctly
favorable to investments and the stu
dent is tempted to declare that even
wheat will finally prove anything but
a meek football in the coming month. !
The coming wheat report of $780, !
300 600 to 84O.0OO.00O will compare |
With 744,OOO, 900 last June. The new |
cotton crop months are an investment /
put not after advances for the pres /
mt. In provisions we prefer pur-
,hases of ribs.
We direct the attention of the in
-estor to July corn and September
,ats on the reactions of first half Of
uue. Should wheat decline at this
,eriod would allow for a subsequent
dvance.

A pathologist of standing inveighs
against the "self-made man" in terms
that will be surprising to many. THE
self-made man." he says. lis often in
the process of degeneration; and the
first evidence OF degeneracy in a fam
lily is the selfishness and meanness or
the cunning, avarice and moral guile,
by which the self-made man succeeds
in amassing a fortune for his still
more degenerate children to spend in
gratifying their selfish desires"
There is another side to the matter.

the man who had acquired wealth

| Chinese president talked plainly TO Lis
peopIa, telling them that unless they
were prepared to pay the cost Of gov
erning themselves, selfish foreigners
would intrigue to bring them under
their yoke and tyrannize over them.
As a result of this campaign, China
closed 1913 with all accrued obliga-
tons paid, and with the smallest per
capita Indebtedness of any great ma
| ton in the whole world, namely s1.66.
The president continued his propa-
ganda, and mandate after mandate
was sent into the provinces urging
financial aid to avoid new foreign en-.
tanglements. On April s, or seven
days prior to the date of this sensa-
tional Picking dispatch, the following
official report was given out by the
minister of finance, being an excerpt
from a statement presented to Prest
dent Yuan:
1.-The funds received from various
provinces amount to s3.500,000. this
month, excluding 100000 from Szeoh
uan and 100000 from Shantung. This
means a great relief to the govern
ment'
1T is anticipated that about taels
