General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Reports of slow,
backward retail trade, which has
been only slightly improved by warm
er weather, throw into bold relief by
contrast the unparalleled activity in
the leading industrial lines, iron,
steel, shipbuilding, coal mining, tex
tiles and lumber. which industries
move along to tho tune of advancing
prices, while at the same time gov
eminent buying tends to divert in
terest from regular trade channels.
In a word, demand in industrial
lines, greatly accumulated by the
needs of war, is Unsuitable and while
every ounce of energy is being used
to keep up with requirements, sup
plies of labor or of transportation IA
cilities are wholly inadequae. In an
industrial sense the country is over
sold. But regular distributive trade
waits, partly because spirit of econ
omy is abroad in the land and also
because the price barometer is too
high to encourage liberal buying.

Grain Crops Below Normal.

Americas 1917 wheat crop, as fore
cast by the department of agriculture,
will fall far below normal despite a
prospect for more than ordinary
yield of spring wheat.
A total yield estimated at 656,000,.
600 bushels will give the country
100000 bushels more than last
years crop, but with the heavy de,
mands from abroad and virtually no
reserve store, it will not meet war
needs unless the country practices
the most rigid economy.
The department forecast spring
crop of 2s3,OOO,O0O bushels, a big
yield, but estimates of winter wheat
production give a crop of only $780,
100000 bushels, 100000 more than
was forecast rom the May l condi-
ton, but still far from the normal
yield.
The United States itself normally
uses more than 600,000,000 bushels.
At the beginning of 1916 there were
164,000,000 bushels on hand carried
over from the previous years record
crop.
Some relief is seen in the better
showing this year in the forecasts Of
rye, which will be a record crop; oats
and barley. A large corn crop also
is expected.
Winter wheat last fall was planted
on one of the largest acreages ever
recorded, but severe winter condi.
tions caused almost one-third of the
area to be abandoned. The crop
came through the winter in poor, con-
dition and the April forecast was
only 43O,O0O,OO0 bushels. Mays fore
cast showed a reduction of $4,000, 900
bushels. Today's forecast, based on
June l conditions, showed improve
ments of 100000 bushels over May,
with a total of 373,O00,0OO bushels.
The final outturn may be above or
below that figure.
Spring wheat, the June report
shows, was planted on an area al
most as large rs that of 1915, when
record crop of 352 100000 bushels
was grown. The condition of that
crop on June 1 was almost two points
below the 1O-year average, indicating
a production Of only 2s3,O00,000 bush
els, With favorable growing condi
tions the production may reach great
er proportions by harvest time.
The late spring prevented farmers
from putting as much land in spring
wheat as had been expected and the
cold weather has prevented germina
ton to a certain extent. ee
Indications are for crop OF oats
third in size in the country's history
and for a crop of rye exceeding the
record by 100000 bushels. Barley
also will be a heavy crop, probably
third in size In history.

MARKET At SPOKANE.

There has been but little if any
change in the business situation of
the country during the pas. week.
The fundamental conditions, which
include full employment of the peo-
pie, and an enormous production of
commodities from original sources,
were never better. Agricultural prod
ucts and mineral products never be-
fore brought prices that were SO re-
munerative to the producers, and the
number of people directly engaged in
these industries is very large. There
is calmer, more conservative tone
in all quarters, without any real let
up of activity.
1t is evident that the whole coun-
try is doing business with full ap-
probation of the fact that conditions
change, and yet with large degree
of confidence in the future. There
has been over-buying prompted by
rising prices and fear of inability to
get goods later, and this in some de-
gree explains the unprecedented de-
mand.
The crop season has been little
backward, but the soil has taken in
good amount of moisture, which is
the most important factor in a crop.
The acreage of wheat is reduced.
