Wheat and Oats Condition Today.

Chicago, May 21.-The immense win
ter wheat promises of May l is pune
tured and the turn to suspicion as to
| promise" may lower the June 1 esti
mates in good sections. Many of our
reports allude to dry and in others
the frosts and fly are the influence.
The fly spread in Kansas as yet is mod
crate.
Allowing a 80 point loss for Missouri,
10 for Illinois and Nebraska, 5 for In
diana, Ohio and Kansas, with 80 con-
dition for 100000 other acres, the
June promise would be around 81 to
SS-a loss of Sc points. This woulS
lower the prospective yield to around
1914 bushels or about 594,000,O0O win
ter wheat basis of 10 par. On basis
of the 1872 per yield the promise
would be 576,O00,0O0, or 100000
above the actual 1913 results.
European wheat demand has
snapped" decisively as the result of
the May Is to 20 upturn. Both the
wheat and oats markets exhibit excite
ment and probably are more of rain
affair than the Hessian fly uproar in
dicates.
The attitude of Europe is the atti-
tude of the American wheat world. An
other week of investigation, digestion
and caution is anticipated. Under these
influences only moderate recessions
should result and the markets may
swing into the coming week with most
Of these advances and future advances
TO their credit. Undertone strong.
The Wagner oats crop raising circu-
lar covers anything we want to say
on old oats consumption. About so per
cent of our reports this week from all
sections average 80 to 100 per cent. !
40 per cent run 60 to So per
cent. AS an average the condition |
may be SO to 81. Oats require rain. !
Investment orders to buy the Septem-
Der should allow for small concessions.
Market now improperly high as yet.
Chicago receipts of corn during May
promise to be around $500, 0O0-small-
est in IL years, and SO small that a
arge June run will be required to COM
Densate. There are no necessary re-
serves of corn on the Atlantic sea-
board, in England or at Chicago.
Corn may recognize the after plant,
ng run by a modest setback. but high
n prices for July and September corn
ire ultimately indicated. The remain
ng news of May will hardly affect cot
on. provisions or securities seriously
n a bearish sense.

A RICH NEW YORKER
San Francisco, CAL; March s.
That Edmund H. Damon, held here
on charge of violating the white slave
law, is a rich New York real estate
man, and prominent progressive and
church man, interested in civic upHft
work, was the statement made to
United States Attorney Preston today
by Frank Corbett and Joseph
Schwartz, arrested with him.
According to their story, Damon a
month ago began celebrating big
financial deal which had netted him
huge profits. He hired Corbett as
valet, they say, and went to Jackson
vile, Fla, where Schwartz and the
two girls, who are held here, were
taken into the party. The five then
started for the coast.
One the trip, they declare, Damon
was sometimes liberal and sometimes
penurious. During a fit Of penury,
they say, the girls became Disguised
and complained to the authorities.
The arraignment of the three men
was delayed today by the failure of
the authorities at San Luis Obispo
to bring Damon here. He will prob
ably arrive this afternoon.
