sWebber, and they moved to Lake
George, where they farmed for six
years, until the death Of the hus-
band, when she again returned to
this city. Since that time she has
made her residence here.

passing. She was a kindly soul and
a good neighbor, and had many
friends in this city, who mourn her
death.

Angels, Monday morning at $50,
with Rev. FIR. Mayer, her pastor,

WHEAT ACCORD
OUTLOOK SEEN
BE 7 Err

The world wheat situation as
regards the international agree
ment is looking more encouraging,
according to Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wallace.
His statement was based on
"cable dispatches from the south
ern hemisphere" He declined to
elaborate on contents of the mes
sages.
The Secretary stated that the
wheat carry-over here as of July
l, 1885, would probably be about
135, 100000 bushels. This estimate
is based on present prospects Of a
$50, 200, 900 buShel crop this year
and the current carry-over of
about 260,000,000 bushels. It takes
into consideration the average
consumptive demand Of 625, 900;
900 bushels.
2OO,OOO,OOO Carry-over
Mr.. Wallace said it would prob
ably be advisable to have q 2OO,-
O00, 900 bushels carry-over in order
to protect consumers" and guard
against shortages occurring from
untavorable crop conditions. He
added that 1t would be desirable
to handle this carry-over in a man
ner which would not depress
prices to producers.
DR.. Mordecai Ezekiel, economic
advisor to Secretary Wallace,
stated that prospects of a short
wheat crop do not necessarily
mean the export machinery pro-
vided by the North Pacific Emer-
gency Export Association will be
abandoned.
Double Use
1t was asserted that crop pros
poets in. the North Pacific area
are good and the yield there might
be about normal. DR.. Ezekiel
stated that the machinery Of the
export association, in addition to
being used to export grain, might
be utilized to ship wheat from the
northwest area into the east at
special freight rates.
Secretary Wallace stated that,
while the short wheat crop this
year will materially reduce the
carry over, it would probably be
necessary to continue the produc-
ton adjustment program.

DOLLAR
WORTH LESS

The purchasing power Of the
dollar invested in common stocks
recently experienced a sharp re-
cession, while the buying power
of the dollar invested in average
bonds retained its previous favor
able position, according to the
monthly analysis Of Administra-
tive and Research Corporation
made public today.
Commodities, as measured by
the Bureau Of Labor's Wholesale
Commodity Index, continued their
advance from 70.8 on December
80, 1888, to 1879 on June 2, 1884,
thus decreasing the purchasing
power of the dollar held in cash
by a. per cent over this period,
the analysis states.
Average common stocks, as
recorded by the Dow Jones Indus
trial Averages, declined sharply
from o9.9 on December 80, 1888,
to 91.41 on June 2, 1884, with the
result that the purchasing power
of the common stock dollar
showed a decline of 1874 per cent.
Bonds, as measured by the Dow
Jones bond averages, rose during
the same period from $3.50 to
$3.50, thus registering a gain Of
6.3 per cent in the purchasing
power of the dollar invested in
average bonds for the five months.

LOSS CUT

Report Of Standard Oil Export
Corporation for year ended Decem-
ber 81, 1888, shows net loss OF
$6,036 after expenses and taxes,
comparing with net loss Of $11,131
in 1892. The common stock Is
owned by Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey and three Of its
subsidiaries.
D. L. Parker, president Of Stand
ard Oil Export Corporation, states
with respect to Anglo-Amer1can
Oil Company, Ltd, all Of the out
standing ordinary shares Of which
constitute the assets Of Standard
Oil Export Corporation, that the
company maintained its gallonage
position in the United Kingdom
market and we feel this is entirely
satisfactory in view Of the world
wide unsettled economic cond1-
tions and local adverse factors.
Prices for all products remained
fairly steady over the year, with
the exception Of gasoline. A
particularly competitive Situa-
ton necessitated q sharp decline
in gasoline prices on May IT. A
portion of the reduction was re-
stored November 3. The company
earned a fairly substantial profit
during the first six months"

WEATHER FAILS
COTTON CROP

Abnormal weather conditions in
the cotton belt Of the United
States to the first of June are
stressed by the New York Cotton
Exchange Service in a report on
conditions and prospects in the
world cotton trade.
The service says that rainfall in
Texas and Oklahoma was not well
distributed this past winter, the
Seniarid areas of western and
northwestern Texas and Oklahoma
received less rainfall than during
other recent winters, and less than
normal, and that an ample sup.
ply of Subsoil moisture, accumu.
lated from winter SHOWS and rains,
is usually necessary for a satiSfac-
tory yield in these areas, since
summer rains are generally insult
ficient to satisfy the moisture re-
Quirements of the plant.
"FOr the cotton belt as .
whole, May rainfall averaged 3.2
inches as against AZ inches in
May last year, and = 1O.year
average Of 3.9 inches. In the
central and western portions Of
the belt, May rainfall was Cen-
orally below normal and insult
ficient for maximum germina-
ton, while in the Atlantics and
in Louisiana, May rainfall was
somewhat excessive"

OUTPUT CLIMBS
SHARPLY FOR
POWER

Power output spurted last week
to 1,654,916,000 kilowatt hours
compared with 1.575 1876, 900 in the
preceding week, which included
Memorial Day, and was slightly
above the 1,654,9o3,o0o, figures
two weeks ago. Moreover, q sub
stantial gain is shown over the
corresponding period of each Of
the three previous years when
electricity production was 1,541,.
$4,000, 1,441,532,000 and 1,609.-
031 900. respectively.
The margin Of gain over last
year, however, was further pared
to 7.3 per cent, against 7.8 in the
preceding week, and 1913 in the
period ended May 20. Last year
At this time power output was ris-
ing rapidly.
The return to the high point in
output for May is generally at
tributed to increased heavy mill
operations, more than offsetting
the lower rate Of operations Of
the textiles and certain automo-
bile accessory lines. Whether the
increase in steel operations is due
to inventory building in anticipa-
ton Of a strike or to actual con.
sumer. demand for goods is diff
cult. to ascertain.
New England Decline
Output for the New England
region declined 20 per cent from
q year ago as against an increase
OF 1.9 per cent in the week ended
June e, whereas the middle At.
lantic area registered a gain Of Z
per cent as compared with rise
Of 5.6 per cent in the previous
week. The central industrial ter.
ritory recorded an increase Of
1913 per cent, while in the pre-
ceding week gain of 1O.9 per
cent was shown.
The West Central district re-
ported an increase Of 1875 per cent
over a year ago as against a gain
Of II per cent in the June 2 week.
The Southern States showed a

Trade Volume
Off In France

That business activity in
France has been slowly declin-
ing during the past nine
months is indicated by the Of
ficial index for industrial pro-
duction which registered 1o3
at the end Of April (basis is
100 in 1879. This is the lowest
since February. 1888. The in
dex has fallen consistently
since July, 1888, when it stood
at 112 but it is still above the
1892 average Of SO.
Equally noteworthy is the con-
tinued decline of wholesale
prices, the index for which Tin
gold, basis is 100 in 1910 regis
tered on May 81 a new record
low at 76. This decline is
chiefly due to the effect Of i'm
ported products which index
stood at SO. Retail prices in
Paris remain around 100.

MAY LOSS SEEN
FOR CENTRAL

Official preliminary estimates
are that New York Central will
show for May a deficit after
charges around $500,000, but final
figures on a few items, received
subsequent to the preliminary
estimate, have inspired the hope
that the indicated deficit will be
substantially reduced, if not the
fixed charges covered.
During April the Central had a
net loss Of $540,188, bringing the
net loss for the first four months
Of this year to $1,712,165, COM
pared with $8,076,217 for the cor
responding period of last year.
It is estimated that Central
will just about cover fixed charges
for June. If this proves to be cor
rect. net income for the year
ended June 80 will amount to
about 951,53S. This would COM
pare with a net loss Of $5,412,514
for the calendar year 1888.
