the United States aggregated 4,O18 million dollars compared with 3,924 million dollars on June 1st and 3,585 million dollars on July ], 1915. This is the first time that the circulating medium has ever passed the four bil- lion dollar mark. The per capita circulation on July 1st was $39.23 compared with S3S.36 a month pre- vious and $35.59 a year previous. The population of the United States Is es- timated at 1O2,423 thousand persons compared with 1O0,725 thousand a year ago.
 According to the last Federal esti- mate the prospects are for a crop of 4s9 million bushels of winter wheat, 270 million bushels of Spring wheat, making 759 million bushels of wheat, 2,S66 million bushels of corn, ,317 million bushels of oats, 205 million bushels of barley, A million bushels of rye, 369 million bushels of white potatoes, "A million bushels of sweet potatoes, 14 million bushels of flax, 34 million bushels of rice, 73 million bar rels of apples, 1,191 million pounds of tobacco, and 14,266 thousand bales of cotton. These crops, if realized, will compare with last years produc- tion of 655 million bushels of winter wheat, 357 million bushels of spring wheat, making 1,102 million bushels of wheat, 3,055 million bushels of corn, 1.540 million bushels of oats, 237 million bushels of barley, 49 mil lion bushels of rye, 359 million bush els of white potatoes, "A million bush els of sweet potatoes, IA million. bush els of flax, 29 million bushels of rice, 77 million barrels of apples, 1,O61 million pounds of tobacco and 11,192 thousand bales of cotton
 Although the crop yield of 1916 bids fair to be better than average, it is probable that 1916 crops with few ex- captions will fall below the product of 1915. The exceptions will be white potatoes, which may show an increase of ten million bushels; rice, the crop of which will probably be five million bushels greater than last year; cotton of which we hope to produce three million bales more than last year and tobacco, which should show an in crease over last year of at least 125 million pounds.
 Some large lines of trade report a scarcity of labor and it is quite pos- sible that the aggregate of wages paid will continue to increase. As con- Houily prlceS are alTeaOy on the Ue- cline, and may be further affected by a somewhat decreased gold produc- tion, the price tendencies of all com ncdities may be watched with profit during the coming months
 The most apparent recessions this month are in the metal trades, which is hardly an unfavorable sign, consid- ering their former abnormal activity. Other lines are keeping up we'll and all lines will undoubtedly present sat- isfying totals throughout the latter half of the year.

Ship ping issued led the advance, with fur ther recoveries in motors and acces- sories, Betterment was also noted in the metals, and fertilizers were again in demand, American Agricultural Chemical featuring that group with a gain of two -~.nts. Rails were fea- turelesss aside from a fractional rise in New York Cer--n1 and two points for Soo.'' United States Steel was steady on moderate offerings.
 Noon-Much of the early f1rmness was due to the strength of Union Pa cific and Reading. both gaining sub stantiaI fractions, but recurrent weak ness was shown by sugars. Motor is- sues also yielded but recovered later under the further advance in shipping shares. Dealings in general were more narrow than yesterday. Bonds were irregular.

Hemlock Camp Nearly Wiped Out By Fire

Hemlock Camp, Fayerweather'sI Isl- and, was nearly wiped off the summer entertainers list last Tuesday even- inc when fire broke out and consumed sundry things. A half mile sprint to the water by half a dozen youths lad en with burning cots, bathing suits and tennis shoes, saved their property from destruction.
 Patsy Morrissey today is the proud possessor of one pair of socks. His other camp belongings were eaten by the flames. His loss is only partly covered by insurance.
 It is suspected a cigarette smoker, lying abed caused the blaze. William Hutton, the only one in camp who doesn't smoke, is also the only one in camp whose cot wasn't doused In the water in time to save it.
 The Black Rock Outing Club Girls were being entertained at the camp the night Of the fire. They indignant ly deny that piece of punk, wieided as an anti-mosquito charm, started the fire.
