Another factor that is helpful on
the constructive side of the market
is the decided betterment in the out
look for the wheat crop. For one
thing, the report of the Weather
Bureau shows that with a few
unimportant exceptions conditions
throughout the country made for eX-
cellent growth of the plant during
the last week. For another, it be-
gins to appear that the damage to
the winter plant, while serious, was
not so great as was believed at the
tine the scare first developed. 1t
will not be possible to get an accu-
rate idea of the extent of the damage
until the government issues its re-
port on Friday, but grain experts
calculate the total wheat crop pros
pect at from 675, 100000 to 100000
600 bushels. That would by no
means be a satisfactory crop, judged
10y the average yield in the four
years preceding 1916, but it will be
decidedly better than last years pro
duction, which sufficed, though it was
tight squeeze. That is not to say
I'VE shall not need to economize; we
mast continue the campaign TO elimi-
ni te waste, and even then will per
haps have hard time pulling
through until the 1918 crop is har-
vested, but it does mean that the
danger of serious shortage is much
+ less imminent than it seemed to be a
while ago. And that is a sufficient
cause for optimism in Wall Street.
The improvement in prospects is
especially gratifying to the holders
Of stock in the granger" railroads.

II is an interesting commentary
on the attitude of the speculative
element that so little attention is
being paid by the general market to
Russian developments. Three weeks
ago the ugly possibilities opened up
by events in that country were an
important restraining influence in
the market. The current rise in
stocks started with $100,000,000 loan
by this government TO Russia and an
Improvement in the situation. Now
tire news is again unfavorable and
has been reflected in sharp drops in
Russian government obligations and
Russian exchange. The general
market, however, has not shown any
great amount Of nervousness. Even
WREN Russian rubles declined TO
25la cents yesterday, setting a new
low record for the war period, com
pairing with a normal par of 81
cents, stock market traders showed
LITTLE more than passing interest.
