General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: 1t is reassur-
ing, at time of unprecedented bust
ness activity, that conservatism is in
creasing rathed than diminishing. Con-
fidence is widespread in the continu-
ance of record-breaking achievements
in production and distribution, but
there is now a more general DISPOSE
ton to avoid speculative excuses and
to guard against overextension in any
quarter. This spirit of caution is man.
ifested in the efforts to check the rap
id rise of prices in the steel industry,
as we'll as in the. textile markets and
other leading lines.
Evidence appears that quotations
have outrun the views of some buy
ers, who proceed more slowly in MAX
ing forward commitments; yet, in the
main, demands still seem Unsuitable
and manufacturers have of necessity
turned numerous contracts away. AL
most without exception, mills, shops
and factories are crowded to their ut
most capacity and overtime is in force
wherever possible, but in many cases
operations continue to be hampered
by the scarcity of raw materials, by
labor troubles and by a shortage of
skilled hands. Weekly bank clearings,
1895, 472,574.

SIGHT OF WOMAN'S STOCKINGS
TOO MUCH FOR SMITH
Head Of Mormon Church Is Harsh in
Denouncing Fashions.

Salt Lake City.-President Joseph F.
Smith of the Mormon church made a
vigorous attack on present-day dress
of women before an audience of sew
eral thousand men and women at the
Sunday school conference of the
church in the tabernacle Sunday night
81 want to enter my protest against
the prevailing fashions for women"
he said. 81 see young women going
down the streets in garb not only ridi-
culous. but shameful. suggestive and
humiliating to the modesty of honor
able men; garbs that make lustful the
low scoundrels who are willing to de-
file anything that is sacred.
ITO say that l am ashamed of such
fashions of dress is speaking my mind
very mildly. l know l stand to be
criticized and possibly condemned by
those who love the fashions of Baby
Ion, who love the places of very direct
associations in the world. But many
of the fashions worn today had their
origin in the houses Of infamy in Paris
and London and other centers of so
called civilization.
And women are falling into the
habit of initiating the fashions of the
demimonde. Our simple girls are not
wise enough to avoid following after
these infamous-well. should say the
poor creatures.
Il have entered my protest against
my daughters following these fash
ions, and l thank God that none of
them have done So"

WINTER WHEAT IS
BELOW LAST YEAR
GOVERNMENT ESTIMATES CROP
WILL BE 16o,o45, 900 BUSHELS
UNDER 1915 YIELD.
WEATHER CONDITIONS BAD
Hessian Fly Pest Injuries Sections in
Southern Part Of BeIt-Central
States Worst Affected-PoIish
Wheat Said to Be No Good.

westinghouse total production of
495,000,000 bushels of winter wheat
was forecast Monday by the depart
ment of agriculture, basing its esti-
mate on the condition of the crop on
April 1 and an assumption of average
abandonment of acreage and average
influence ON the crop to harvest.
That compares with 655,045,000
bushels, the estimated production in
1915, and 6S4,99O,O0O bushels in 1914
Condition Below Average.
Condition of winter wheat on April
1 was 1873 per cent of normal,
against 1873 last year, 95.6 in 1914, and
S7.3, the average for the last 10 years.
There was a decrease in condition
from December 1 to April 1 of "a
points, compared with an average de-
cline Of 3.5 points between those dates
in the last 10 years.
The department of agriculture, in
statement analysing the report, said:
THE small production forecast is
due partly to a reduction of about IL
per cent from the acreage of the pre-
ceding year and to low condition of
growth, namely, 1873 per cent of nor
NAL, which is lower than the condition
on April 1 in any year since 1904; it
is 10 per cent poorer than the 10-year
average on April l.
1.-THE cause of the low condition was
a wet, cold fall, causing poor seed
beds and poor start for wintering.
Much of the crop was sown late, part
ly from necessity of the season and
partly to avoid Hessian fly.
Warns Against Polish Wheat.
Polish wheat, offered for sale in the
west at 81 pound, with glowing state
ments regarding yields and value, has
been tested by the department of ag-
riculture, which advises farmers that
it can not be recommended for grow
ing anywhere in the United States.
This wheat has been exploited in re-
cent years in various parts of the
country as corn wheat" Jerusalem
wheat" and giant wheat"
