FINANCIAL REVIEW
OF The PAST WEEK
Governments Report Of Great
Crops OvershadOws Other
Developments.
MAKES PROSPERITY SURE

There were several interesting de-
velopments of a financial bearing last
week, but overshadowing oil others was
the Governments August crop report
giving practical assurance Of a year of
abundant harvests. The report promised
not only the largest wheat o ever
60 thered. but an aggregate of other i'm
portant crops also never before sur
passed. 1t Is doubtful IL the full sig
niScance Of this official assurance Of
boUntiful harvests has even yet been
fully appreciated by the financial dis
trict n the country at large. No
other single factor could contribute more
to the material progress Of the country.
Coming as they do at a time when
the country is seeing an outburst OF
manufacturing activity as the result OF
the great war and when the needs OF
Europe for supplies of every kind from
wa munitions 20 the necessities of life
are so large the big crops are the one
thing that makes the economic position
OF the United States unassailable. In
short, II there was anything lacking
70 make the future secure II was agri-
cultural success, and with that practi-
cally assured nothing stands In the way
OF progressive Improvement In business
and finance.
