NEW YORK, July J7.-A reaction from
the recent unprecedented rise In the prices
euyftlea was to be expected. With
such an • oatraoidlnary Increase In ttv
earning power of the railroads, auch
marvelous run of national prosperity, and
such an unrestrained buoyancy In every
business Interest—to say nothing of the ex
citement developed by the great corporate
deal* -it Is not* at all remarkable that
the market value of railroad Investmnrt*
should have, risen to such unparalleled fig
ure* as we have lately seen. That ten
dency having exhausted Its force, It 1»
not a matter of surprise that a sharp re
action has set In from the upward im
pulse. For, not a few of the large buy
ers on the rise bought less because they
were ’convinced that the new level of
vslues would prove permanent than be
cause they believed the new Inflating con
ditions would produce a temporary un>.
equalled enhancement in quotation*.
Their experience under all sorts of condi
tions had taught them that maximum
values never prove permanent; and that,
when the top hiu» been reached, on Im
pulse of reaction must have Its sway,
which may as easily as not carry values
as much below the normal as they had
previously been forced above It. That
Is a fixed law In the operations of the
stock exchange, which must alwnys soon
er or later assert Its sway, and some-;
times In disregard of conditions that l*-‘
gltlrmUcly determine the Value of Invest-
metRg. The course of the stock marktt
during ths Isat two week* has been a
marked verification of this principle. .
Tho turn In tho drift has been Impelled
principally by three very ronl and abb*
slant Ini' causes, all of which have 'been
sudden, nnd- unexpected; (1), the Injury
to tho crops; (2), the great strike of the
employes of the steel corporation! and
(3), the uncertainty of a money market
which m«y possibly be subjected to un
usually heavy and urgent demands for
• movement of the crops,
A« to the crop situation the injury from
drouth appears to have been principally
confined to corn; although jillght dam
age to spring wheat Is reported in some
•ciUonn. Tho most serious harm has fall
en In the slates df Kunans, Nebraska,
Missouri and Iowa, where the lo*s, ac
cording to conservative estimates, will not
ha less than IW.OOO.OOO bushels. In tho
whole country the entire damage might
figure between HO.000,000 end t00.000.cw
bushels, in which case we should have
total crop of about UW,000,000 bushela. It
remains to be seen how much of the dam
age will be repaired by suosequent im
provement In the weather. Certainly the
Injury thus far Incurred seems to hava
been, to a considerable extent, discounted
In both the grain end stock market*.
Tho extremists of both sides have had
their say. and It seems as If both markets
tmd settled down to the real facts, which,
as usual, lie between the two extremes.
Last year, according to the department
of agriculture, ths money value of the
com crop was 17*1,000,000. ur about Me.

Value*. Should we realise a 1,700,000.000
crop It would only have to sell at an
average of a little oyer He. at farms to
bring the same amount in value as last
year. This mean* that an advance of
about Ic. per bushel over laat year would
amply compensate for this year's losses
In dol.'ara and cents. At New York
Chicago com has been selling at 12*15c.
Above last year'e figure*; so that should
these dt(Terence* continue the crap as

havo unquestionably suffered severe

WASHINGTON, July ^.-Today’s
weather bureau advices from the great
:orn belt wer* the moat encouraging
that have come to hand for the past
four days, showing In the opinion of
the forecasters, that the great drought
has been broken by a general visita
tion of showers In many portions of
that section, and With a prospect of
their continuation tomorrow. Coinci
dent with the fall of rain has come re
duced temperature. With few excep
tions, the temperatures reported were
not abnormally high ,no maximum of
100 degrees being reported. West of the
Mississippi river they were generally in
the neighborhood of 90 degrees.
The forecasters, while not making
any specific predictions as to the ef
fect of the rain on the crops, express
the opinion that all those crops which
have been Irreparably ruined'krill be
benefttted by tho breaking of the
drought. The late crops naturally will
be helped the most. The reports show
that during tho past twenty-four hours
showers were quite general In the corn
belt, and were heavy in places.

WASHINGTON, July 28 -Tbe remarks
foie growth In the exports of the United
States to Japan and in the rank which
aha now holds In supplying the Import*
of that presperous and rapidly develop
ing country i* shown In some figure* Ju»t
compiled by the treasury bureau of sta
tistics. The Japanese statistical report,
entitled "Anhual return of the foreign
trade of the empire of Japan." has Just
been received by the treasury bureau of
statistics, and presents the details of the
Imports and exports of Japan In the cal
endar year 1900. It show* that the im
ports from the United States have grown
from six million yen In JW to* over sixty
million yen In 1900, and that he United
Staten, which stood sixth in rank In the
Let of countries from whloh Japan drew
her imports In. 1833, Is now second In tho
list, being only exceeded by Great Brit
ain.
In 1393 the Imports Into Japan from
Great Britain were valued at 27,939.628
yen; those from China, 17,005,^14 yen; from
British India. M79,029 yen; from Hong
Kong, 8,288,071 yen; from Germany, 7,819,-
123 yeni and from the United States, 6,090,•
208 yen.
Jn 1909 the Hat stood: From the United
Kingdom, 71,838,219 yen; from the United
(Rates 82,781,198 yen; China, 29,960,740 yen;
Germany, 29,199,695 yen; British India,
23,516,350 yen; Hong Kong, 10,669,855 yen;
France, 9,095.819 yen; and Belgium. 1.949,253
yen. In 1893, tha United Stale* suppli*
7 per cant.. Germany 9 per cent., ana the
United Kingdom 82 per cent, of the total
Imports Into Japan; in 1900 ths United
States supplied 21 per cent., Germany 10
per cent., and tbo United Kingdom 25 per
cent. Going still further back, It may
be said that In 1881 the United State*
supplied 6 per cent., and the United King
dom 53 per cent, of Japans Imports;
while, as above Indicated, the United
States now supplies 21 per cent., and the
United Kingdom 25 per cent.
The enormous increase in our exports
to Japan since 1893 I* distributed among a
large number of articles. The Japanese

WASHINGTON, July 28.~The arrival
an«3 publication of the reports of the
engineer officer* in charge of rivet Im
provement* In the different part* of
the country ha* given rise to much-dis
cussion a* to the effect of the failure
of the river and harbor bill at the last
session of congress. At the war de
partment this afternoon it was said
that the district which Include* the
Mississippi river from the mouth of the
Ohio to the mouth of the Misaourl will
suffer most from the failure of the .bill.
A skilled engineer officer of the de
partment calls attention to the fact that
the engineer In charge, Capt. Burr,asks
for 3100,000 alone for the purppse of
maintaining his plant. He says in the
course of the report that without such
in hand for the maintenance of the
plant It will deteriorate in value con
stantly, and in the lack of an appropri
ation to continue the work It will be a
source of constant loss to the govern
ment. For this reason the officers of
the department believe that of all parts
of the United States the district near
St. Louis will suffer most from the
lack of appropriation. At the next
session of congress strong representa
tions will be made In consequence as
to the need of that portion of the river
between St. Louis and Cairo. It will
be shown In the committees of con
gress that unless a‘liberal appropria
tion Is made for the continuance of the
work the boats composing the fleet of
the district can not be placed in com
mission, and when It Is desired to use*
them, thousands of dollars will have
to be expended In repairs and refitting
and the purchase of new machinery.
The stretch of the river is now consid
ered most important.
The commercial statistics which have
been submitted to the department in
dicate that the value of trade on that
portion of the river Is now Increasing.
The report* to the department also
show that new lines of barges are to

will predict that there I, to be an aban
donment of any of the project, which,
hive been started. It hi urged that
the system of log rolling which has
carried through river and harbor bills
In the pact will probably prevent the
abandonment even of any imlnor pro
ject, of the river and harbor work.
There 1, a growing belief among of
ficer, of the department who have been
closely identified with engineering work
of the paet that the next river and
harbor bill will have to carry with It
some provision for Irrigation. In the
light of experience during the last ses
sion of congreap, when auch determined
effortS were made to secure irrigation
legislation tho conclusion la thrust on
the engineer officers that this will be
a problem which they will noon have
to deal with. The officers advise
against allowing navigation problem,
and the Irrigation problem to be con
sidered together. They oppose veiling
the two under the same supervision.
Just ns they oppoied In the past the
levee projects being carried In the riv
er and harbor hill. In spite of thi. op.
position there seem, to be a realiza
tion that It will come up probably nt
the next session of congrew. •
It was said nt the department thla
afternoon lhat the report which was
made by Cap. Hiram M. Crittenden,
relative to a comprehensive Irrigation
•yitem, la one of the moat compre
hensive ever m»do to the government.
Tha captain waa located at St. Louis
when h. conducted his Inveptlgations.
and argued In favor of the government
taking up the irrigation question. He
pointed out at great length why th,
states could not take up the system as
It should be developed.
When asked as to whether the depart
ment had ever siren ofrilcal attention to
Irrigation, on. of the engineer officer, at
th. department turned prompUy to the
report of Capt. Crittenden, and Indicating
a part of II. said;
That will he the keynote for the mem
bers trom th. states having arid or semi-
arid lands during tho next session of con
gress."

no doubt that the destiny of the arid

out many valleys In the arid regions, the
