CROPS THROUGHOUT v. S.
IN EXCELLENT CONDITION

The Department Of Agriculture to-
day received reports Of general crop
conditions throughout the country in
dicating that, on the whole, the con-
dition Of virtually all crops Is gener-
ally good and the recent freezing
weather in some sections of the coun-
try did no material damage.
Winter wheat and winter rye are
reported to be in good condition in the
leading producing States, although the
winter wheat crop in Nebraska and
Kansas Is poor because Of the con-
tinued drought.
The cotton yield has exceeded earlier
expectations and the bulk Of the crop
has already been ginned.
Slight damage to the potato crop
in Oregon was caused by recent freez-
ing weather, but on the whole the
potato crop Is in good condition.
The ice storm in New England in
November damaged fruit trees to some
extent but caused no material dam
age. Pruning and spraying Of or.
chards are making rapid progress in
California and a growing interest in
strawberry growing was reported In
Louisiana.

Crude OIL Cuts.

THE recent reduction in prices Of
Eastern grades Of crude petroleum.
including Pennsylvania, has given rise
to some speculation as to whether or
not other crude oil rates, especially
those of the Mid-Continent fields, will
be marked down in the near future"
states one Of the best oil men in the
Street He adds: Certainly present
indications point to such a movement
some time before the end OF the
winter, for production Of crude
petroleum Is at a record, while con-
sumption OF products is at low ebb.
The Mexican field il giving up about
$50, 900 barrels a day, considerable OF
which Is passing into storage to wait

why most traders refused to become

Middle States Meeting.

Middle States stockholders get to-

for consolidating the subsidiaries.
Despite opposition by a few holders.
1t is believed the plan will go through.
1t must be admitted that it is good
plan-to get all the stock on the
Big Board. Those who are close to
the management confidently predict
its success; they state that more
than sufficient proxies are already
in hand to put II through. II they are
correct, those daring traders who
took advantage Of the arbitrage be-
tween Imperial and Middle States
will take profits. This was a very
great temptation to many. as II
showed a sure profit 50 long as the
plan was agreed to by shareholders.
1t is rather significant that not so
many were brave enough to take
advantage Of It.

Rallying the Sugars.

Those who keep in close touch with
conditions In the sugar trade are not
inclined to become enthusiastic over
the recent strength in sugars; they
regard it mainly AZ well-planned
squeezing of shorts. The recent
Cuban news has added to the skep-
ticism. as 1t Is felt that the railroad
strike is likely to extend and hamper
sugar grinding. With the large sup
ply Of sugar available. II might APP
pear that anything calculated to hold
the new crop up should, in the long
run, help to improve conditions by
stabilizing the market.

LiyermOre Again.

Once more Jesse Livermore breaks
into print. One broker supposed to
have a good idea as to his views
states: 81 believe It is mistake to
consider the interview published this
morning from Mr.. Livermore as
meaning that he has changed hts
stand announced in September. l"
However, II should be borne in mind
that in his bullish views expressed
during the fall, Livermore confined
his remarks mainly to domestic con.
ditions. In his latest utterance he
dwells largely on conditions abroad.
There Is quite q significant differ
ence. In considering Livermore's ut
terances, 1t is well to bear in mind
that his principal business is playing
the market. That Is how he makes
his money. No real big operator
would find 1t profitable to let the
whole world play with him all the
time. Even Tom Lawson fell down
on that.
