REPORT CROPS
IN fine SHAPE
Minnesota Elevator Men Re-
turn From Trip of In
spection

Minneapolis May 22.-crops planted
over the largest acreage in the history
of the northwest today are in ideal
condition. according to group Of Min
neapolis grain and elevator men who
returned today after an inspection trip.
A SUFFICIENT amount of moisture has
fallen throughout the territory this
spring. II Is said that the entire crop
with reasonably cool weather will grow
normally. until June Is without more
rain. The big acreage increases will
be in food crops other than wheat. The
acreage in wheat, now all seeded and
much of ii above the ground and look
ing fine, will be slightly in excess of
last year. Montana and parts OF North
Dakota and a few sections in Mime
sofa and South Dakota will show wheat
acreage gains.
Corn, oats, rye and barley show large
gains in acreage planted.
North Dakota will double it's corn
acreage and will have the biggest corn
and oats crop ever sown, according TO
reports.
The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern main lines from Minneapolis
to the North Dakota line and across
that state, never looked better. mes
sages said. The 500 line from Valley
City to Portal is the color of green
velvet and the wheat line from Thief
River Falls, Mimi, to Kenmare, N. D.,
is in like condition.

DULLEST TRADE
In MARKET TODAY
Market Very Low Septem-
Der Pressed Down, But
Only Fair Trade

Chicago, May 22.-Wheat: Market
was lower with the dullest sort Of
trade. September was pressed down
ward but only fair trade in 1t. July
trading was even duller than Septem--
Der. The good rains have resulted in
improved crop prospects and more
optimistic feeding in regard to the out
come. Conditions IN the northwest are
generally reported as more favorable.
The outlook is for a, continuance OF the
present kind Of markets until there is
a removal of restrictions.
Corn: Cash prices continue high and
the bids sent out even, at current levels
for cash corn. do not bring much re-
sponse. Consequently there is hesita-
ton on the selling side, although the
recent weakness in It encouraged some
local selling. Until there is a larger
stock of corn available, July is likely
TO prove congested. The brilliant crop
prospects may affect September to a
greater extent.
oats: Oats were little higher, but
the general rains have had consider
able effect and they worked lower after
the opening. The general outlook for
the crop now is very good and from
present Indications the yield will ex-
coed all previous records.
Provisions: The provision market
has been firm, but trade conditions are
unchanged except that the cash trade
is showing some contraction.

Outlook. for Continued Rise in Stocks
Seems Very Bright.
New York, May 22.--There Is much
that is favorable in the situation, but
the chief argument is large, expansion
in all industries incidental to the war
with the steel trade leading. While we
must look for occasional setbacks In
steel issues on the way up, all good
steels will sell much higher, in our
opinion use the drives to buy, giving
preference to u. s. steel. I
Large taxes may be ignored for the
present So far as leading war stocks
are concerned. Their profits after taxes
will permit them to pay very much
larger dividends and roll UP enormous
SURPRISES. Already the talk on u. S.
Steel common is for $50 to 200 before
end of 1917. Other steels also good and
equipment: stocks like American Loco
motives rWsstingb9uses and others stand
to do much better. We see nothing dis
turbing in the Russian situation as yet.
The latest is that the army may be
counted on to support the government.
If this is so there is nothing to fear.
Ordering of q rehearing of the anti
trust cases Is reassuring. The war may
bring new attitude towards the big
corporations. Their united help is
needed to win the war some assert.

New York, May 22.-There is to be

expansion in bank loans may be read

fiation may be assumed also, although
the imitation should be controlled along
safe. lines because of federal reserve
check which may be placed in financial
operations and because the imitation
will come primarily from governments

curity in the world, says The Sun. Al
though there is to be imitation and ex-

any other market will be permitted.
At the moment conditions are favora-

that rising prices will tend to eneour-

GRAIN OPINIONS.

Lamson Bros: The uncertainty over
the possible program of the federal
food commission is a factor that can
not be ignored.
Logan g. Bryan: There is no sub
stantial reason why the tension should
not relax after harvesting is well un-
der way.
Harris winthrop: Recent rains will
be of great benefit in many sections
and reports from the coming crop
should show further Improvement.

who want to trade had better so slow
on both sides OF the market for the
present as price action is too rapid and
uncertain. The bulk OF the receipts OF
corn at Chicago are being applied on

for the relatively small offerings in
