on balance. Still prices averaged lower.
Liverpool failed to respond to our yes
terday's weakness, closing unchanged
to &c higher. Following yesterdays re-
port of poor crop prospects in Germany
there was an item today claiming that
extreme heat was causing concern re-
garding the north African wheat crop.
Our weekly weather and crop report
was by no means bearish and the Kan
sas and Missouri weekly reports were
distinctly bullish. On the other hand,
further welcome rains fell in the south
west and 1t now appears that the douth
scare has been Land at rest for a time
at least.
The commercial demand for corn re-
manned slow and there were fair-sized
to store sales, but the milling demand
for wheat was reported improved with

of the wheat market hinges in large

STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, May 2S.-The usual
weekly review of the steel and iron in
dustry was published today. 1t is not
pleasant reading for those soptimistical-
ly inclined. The present low state of
production in this industry, the doubt
that prevails with regard to the price
or their products, is typical of the
general state OF business In the coun-
try at this time and is beginning to
find reflection in the falling earn
ings of the railroads. We are now seek
ing clearly why the stock market de-
clined during February and March
We can now better understand the
character of the selling during that
period-that the decline was mot the
result of mischievous bearish opera
tors. However, we are all more con-
eerned with the future than with the
past. What may we expect in the
near future? 1t would be less difficult
to forecast IL this was not an cleo
ton year. Capital is timid. 1t will not
venture far from its base, when there
is the least doubt. Until there has been
time to formulate judgement as to the
. character of national administration
which we are to have for the next
four years, and until then, it is hardly
than temporary rallies.-John F. Clarke

POLITICAL TABLE IS SET

for state and county offices, the

the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota,
the Dakotas and possibly Iowa,
leaving the balance of the middle
west and west the battle ground.
Most of the states in the debatable
territory are normally republican
by fairly large 'najorities, and
there will have to be a considerable
detection in that party's vote to
put the doubtful states in the dem
ocratic column or under La Fol-
,lette's banner. There are, how
ever, so many angles to the politi-
cal situation this. year that it is
difficult to get a clear idea of the
trend at this tiine-much more so
than it probably will be three or
four months hence when the senti-
ment is more or less crysta!lized.
1t is this uncertainty. though, that
makes horse races, ball games and
political campaigns interesting.
And it looks this year like the po-
litical fans will have real party.

nouncements have been made, it is
expected that Sam Allard and C.

to succeed themselves. Both have
a strong hold on the confidence of
the people because of the econom-
ical and businessiike way they have
handled the county's affairs. and it
is not probable they will have op.

FIRST CAR OF ONIONS ROLLS

The first straight car of onions

year to plant larger acreage OF
this early stuff.
