NTCW YORK- J. S. Ilache and com
pany writing on -rops and money to
day have the following to gay:
‘‘Wheal exports have begun at high
prices, and wheal and corn hold up
not from scarcity probabilities, hut
because of ftp strong position of the
cash wheat market. Ktirope mast
have our grain lusd Is willing to pay
good prices rather thuii wait. The
crop outlook Is great.
Money at 3 4 percent, on rail and
the crop requirement* begun, is al
most unpreeeridented and indicates
no stringency tills fall. With money
rates so low dividend rales oil good
iforks and bonds are highly profit
able, and there Is little lo depress
the market in tangible conditions.
Political uncertainty slone stands as
a future menace. Tints far the sub
