CROP and Weather bulletin.

Denver-F. II. Brandenburg. district
forecaster, in the weather and crop
report for Colorado, says that the
weather has been ideal for the growth
of all crops, although in localities in
the northeastern part of the state re-
ports indicate insufficient moisture
for the proper termination of small
grain and sugar beets. Hail caused
some damage to alfalfa, sugar beets
and fruit in the vicinity of Longmont.
For the state as a whole. however, the
principal crops are making satisfac-
tory progress. Small grains are gener-
ally reported to be doing well; corn is
coming up, but planting is not yet
completed. Over the greater part of
the sugar beet area the crop is re-
ported to be doing as well as might be
expected. The condition of grasses
and alfalfa is excellent, and ranges
are reported to be in good condition.

Trade outside of q certain few indus

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
War and Railroad Rates.

When Louis A. Brandels. special coun-
sci for the Interstate Commerce Conn
mission, stated that the only new fact
adduced by the railroads TO Justify their
plea for higher rates was the war in Eu-
rope he was perfectly right II may also
be admitted that the war by itself liz not
an argument for higher rates. War is
proper risk for the stockholders OF
railroad companies Just as II is for the
stockholders OF other companies. But
tho war happens to be an argument for
higher rates because II serves to en-
phasize in an incontrovertible manner
the impossible conditions under which
the railroads were working previously
The outbreak OF the war made It obvt-
Gus 20 every one that there was some-
thing wrong with an industry whose
credit collapsed utterly when confronted
with an emergency. II is acknowledges
by the railroads that the additional dam
age done by the war Is slight. Mr. Bran
des himself admits that the war was
not the cause OF the railroads weak
credit Consequently tho railroads seized
the war as an opportunity to ask for a
reopenlng of case improperly decided
against them.
Tho war by itself did not Justify the
in granting the request, But
tho commission lid grant rehearing
because II realized that its previous de-
cision had been shown to b. pltifully in
adeuuat" ani that Il had wofully mis-
Judged conditions. \ reversal Of that
decision, therefore, may be confidently
expected Ard when the commission in
the near future does grant additional re-
lief II will he tacit acknowledgment
that Its previous decision was inequita-

Investment houses and banks re-
port an Improvement In the demand
for high grade municipal and railroad
bonds and that prices range from a frao-
ton of a point to over a point higher
than the figures quoted week ago. The

notes Is generally credited to the improv-

the fact that many people are not salts

sistentiy saving since the crisis OF last
