HUGE WHEAT CROP
ALMOST CERTAIN
Tendency Now Is to Raise
Rather Than Lower Esti-
mates of Yield.
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor.

CHICAGO, May 16.-AlmoSt COM
plete certainty Of an immense crop Of
Winter wheat in the United States Is
now facing the grain trade. The pre-
vailing tendency is to raise rather than
lower estimates of yield. especially in
Kansas, the Nations largest wheat-pro-
ducing State. Latest unofficial forecasts
point to likelihood that Kansas this
season will harvest 2o0,0oO,0o0 bushels,
a new high record.
Compared with a week ago, wheat
this morning ranged from "a cent q
bushel lower to "a advance. with corn
14a1% down, oats 1sass of and pro-
visions showing 10 to % cents decline.
New Wheat In June.
It is expected that with normal
weather conditions Texas will start to
ship new 1891 wheat freely by the mid
die of June, and some traders are look
ing for this wheat to come into compe-
tition with holdover wheat from the
1880 crop. However there has been q
pronounced bent for some time to per-
NIT domestic -four stocks to run down
to a minimum AS result milling de-
mand on q large scale is generally be-
ing counted upon TO come into play
right from the seasons beginning.
A factor as yet unrevealed is what
the policy of Government-sponso
agencies will be toward the new grain
which moves prior to June 80, when
price sterilization operations of Farm
Board allies are expected to end. Some
new wheat in Texas has been reported
as already contracted for on basis OF
40 cents per bushel to the farmer. Re-
ferring to these reports, Chicago trade
authorities express wonder, and say
that the basis which Is indicated ranges
to a material extent below production
cost.
Weather FavorS Corn.
Improved weather conditions over
the corn belt have largely removed
anxiety as to planting progress and
about the termination Of corn already
in the ground. Oats prices reflect favor
able crop reports, as well as the cir
cumstance that oats acreage Is some
what larger than last year.
Provisions show the market effect of
enlarged stocks on hand.

RALLY FORESEEN
EARLY NEXT WEEK
Brokers Say Firmness of
Low Price IndustriaIs Has
Been 0bsCured.
Nv the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 16.-Brokerage
house commentators today were talking
Of the possibility of a technical rally
early next week Heavy selling Of
United States Steel and American Can,
some said, obscured the relative firmness
Of the low-priced industrials. The short
interest IS believed to be very large.
Comments include:
E. F. Hutton g. Cot again appears
that the bears are pushing their advan-
tage little too far and that regardless of
what views one might hold as to the
destination Of the market, another i'm
portant turnabout is close by.
Pask g. Wa.bridge stock mar
ket continues to adjust itself to de-
creased earning power, both as regards
individual issues and the averages as
well. Just how much further the de-
cline will go, no one can tell; but, the
short side Of the market is becoming
too popular to appeal to us. On the
contrary, we suggest the accumulation
OF selected issues for higher prices later
in the year.
Clark Williams & Cove expect
that the stock market will continue to
be dominated by professional activity
and display further irregularity. There
are further signs of the best sort of
accumulative buying going on in the
better class stocks on reactions and we
believe that this is in an advisable pro-
cedure to follow at the present time,
making selections from issues OF fun
damental companies which have built
up large cash equities out OF earnings
during recent years of prosperity.
Edward q. Smith g. Cove con-
tinue TO believe that an exceptionally
favorable opportunity for purchasing
common stocks will present Itself dur
ing the next three or four months and
we therefore urge preparedness.
Babcock, Rushton & Co.-Preyiously
we had felt that the rally in the stock
market would be a slow one when 1t
came. Now we are inclined to the be-
lief that when it does come, it will
phases. Technical considerations OF the
market are sometimes misleading, but
we do not believe that the market has
as yet definitely broken It's low levels
of April %.
Shields 81 Co.-The market itself IS
the main influence to most of the re-
port heard in the whispering explana-
tons OF selling. With no aggressive
banking support in evidence, those who
tried to force short covering early in
the week by renewing juggling opera
lions have not SUFFICIENT courage to
fight pressure on steel and the other
leaders and seem TO have lost any
chance that might have existed Of at
tracing a buying following at this
time.

HUGE SUMS PLACED
IN ELECTRIC LINES
Trolley Car Declared Here to
Stay-14,0OO Buses
Added to Service.

The magnitude OF electric railway
service in the United States and Can
ada was stressed by Louis Harding,
an insurance expert, in an address at
Toronto, Can.
The trolley car. the most compact
and efficient vehicle, is here to stay"
he said.
There are today $40 operating COM
panies in the electric traction industry,
so in Canada and $50 in the United
States. Total invested capital Is about
S5,542 $50 900; of which 1922, 450,0 900 Is
in Canada. Annual gross revenue Is
about $l,l18,000 600, Canada's share
being about $50, 900 900. According to
the 1880 census, nearly half the tnhabit-
ants Of the United States live IN 189
cities Of more than $4,000 population
and in their immediate suburbs. In all
but one of these the electric railway is
the backbone Of the local transporta-
ton system.
Also there are 7s9 cities in the
United States Of from 10000 to $4,000
population, and 53l of these have cleo
trio railway service. In the period be-
tween 1920 and 1880 about $4,000 mo-
tor buses were added 10 supplement
trolley service. In about a dozen cities
in the United States electric railway
companies operate taxicabs in addition
TO cars and buses, more than 1900
taXicabs being so used, while 15,440,-
100000 passengers were carried by
electric railways in Canada and the
United States during 1890.
1T is pertinent to state that trac-
ton companies give constant attention
to the elimination of accidents and
pronounced success has been achieved
in this effort.
Between 1911 and 1929 the number
Of fatalities was reduced a. per cent al
though during this same period the
number OF registered automobiles in
creased from half a million to 10000
GOO. Records OF the American Electric
Railway Association indicate only one
fatality in each 192,o00,0o0 passengers
carried"
Ofnctally, Harding Is secretary Of the
Central Traction e. Lighting Bureau,
New York. He also is chairman of the
National Fire Protection Association
Committee on Electric Cars and Car
Houses.

CURB TRADING Dull.
AND PRICES LOWER
PetroIeums, Public Utilities
and InduStriaIS Lead
Declines for Day.
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 16.-Trading on
the Curb Exchange was exceedingly dull
today and prices drifted slowly but
steadily lower.
Electric Bond a. Share, despite its
expansions in foreign fields and It's fur
Their entrance into the natural gas bust
ness in this country, moved slightly
lower on a much reduced volume of
dealings. Cities Service also turned
downward on such sales as appeared.
Petroleums, public utilities and mis-
cellaneouS group of industrials, in order
named, headed the decline. Brazilian
Traction was one of the first utilities to
shatter its 1881 low mark, though some
Of the less active issues soon followed.
Standard OIL shares initiated the
heaviness in the petroleum group
Trifing declines put Standard OIL Of
Kentucky and Standard of Ohio to new
lows early in the session. Humble Oil
opened at its previous minimum mark
Pipe line movements were somewhat
more varied, Missouri-KanSas Pipe NOV
