Condition of Wheat
Is Best Since 1903
Government Report To-morrow
Should Show Higher Conditions
Than on April 1.
CINCINNATI, OHIO. May 7 Not
since 1903 ha* there been so brilliant
a prospect for the winter wheat as this
season. The Government report this
we<*k should show as high If not a
higher condition than on the first of
April, and the abandoned acreage will
be at the minimum percentage Even
a decline of 10 or 15 points to harvest
would place the yield above that of last
year.
The gain will he largely in the Central
States, where the red winter varieiv
was winter killed lasryear. and a good
crop of this variety will come to mar
ket practically bare and with mill stocks
nil.
Sunday’s rains assure good crops in
Texas and Oklahoma
There 1* still some uncertainly about
the extent of the spring wheat acreage
and with the hesitancy in the northern
end of ti e area, a decrease in acreage
Is probable Th# Northwestern States
have, less reserve moisture than the
winter region and have had barely
enough rains thus far to give wheat a
good headway.
The planting will be about completed
this week over the siring area.

New Haven Monopoly,
Boston Man Asserts
Interstate Commerce Commission Is
Told There Is No Competition
in New England.
WASHINGTON, May 7.—That the
New York, New' Haven and Hartford
Railroad has a monopoly of trans
portation facilities in New England
was the declaration to-day of Robert
S. Homans, of the Boston Chamber
of Commerce, in his statement before
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion.
Homans said the New Haven not
only has had a monopoly in railroads,
but interests in steamship lines run
ning out of Boston which control all
steamers in Long Island Sound.
He said the New Haven had illegal
ly acquired a majority of stock from
the Boston and Maine Railroad. Be
fore the acquisition of the Boston and
.Maine, he said, competition existed
in New England.

at 7.75 to 8.25 or 50c per hundred-w'etght
lower than the April high spot.
Hogs were 5 to 10c: lower, owing to

SinJanuary 1 the output of
bonds, notes and stocks by railroad
and industrial (corporations in the
United States has aggregated $643,-
773,000. This total is no less than
$383,780,000 below 1912, due, not to
lighter needs, but to the refusal of
investors to supply capital on reason
able terms.
The April offerings totalled $164.-
477,000, a decrease of $53,788,000
from a year ago.
A special compilation for the Hearst
newspapers shows a decrease in each

Notes Instead of Bonds.
So bad has the bond market be
come that even the strongest cor
porations are afraid to risk making
offerings. J. P. Morgan & Co.’s
postponement of the huge Interbor- f
ough flotation is significant.
As an alternative to trying to foist
bonds upon an unresponsive market,
several companies have resorted to
short-term notes, a convenient but
expensive makeshift. New York Cen
tral put out $20,000,900 end Missouri,
Kansas’ and Texas $19,000,000 notes
last month with more : uccess than
would have attended bond offerings.
The astonishing failure of the St.
Paul 4 1-2 per cent issue was the last
straw-that broke the back of the bond
market.
The next test will ccme on May
20, when New- York City will seil $45.-
000,000 4 1-2 per cent bonds. It is
just possible that this issue will be
as signal a success as the St. Paul
loan was a fiilure. That the turn
is near in the bond market is an ’
opinion gaining favor in high financial
circles.
Higher Rates Will Help.
Now that the bond presses have
stopped running at full speed, the law
of supply and demand should come
to the rescue.
Moreover, the granting of the
Eastern railroads’ application for (5
per cent) higher freight rates would
have immediate and marked effect in
restoring confidence in railroad secu
rities. Not a few railro: d bonds are
now at panic prices, while stocks in
several prominent instances are at
the lowest levels in recen years. The.
costly Hoods and the adoption of high-4
er wage scales have aggravated the
situation. 4
European underwriters have suf
fered disappointment after disappoint
ment. Very few issues have been
subscribed for to the extent of 50
per* cent, while in some- cases only
from 10 to 25 per cent has been sold.
Hopes of .ower bank rates* abroad
have again been blas'ted, and it is
t*x:remedy doubtful if either the Bank*
of England or the Imperial Bank of
Germany will lower its minimum dis
count charge this month, notwith
standing widespread expectation of
favorable action forthwith.
Bank Returns Disquieting.
Our own baijk position is disquiet
ing. Tiie latest return covering our
7,400 national banks reveals continued
expansion of credit simultaneously
with shrinkage in cash resources.
Loans are increasing $1,000,000 daily
and cash falling $750,000 every day
bank doors are opened. New York
institutions have not participated in
this dangerous movement, but coun
try hanks will not listen to warnings.
Nothing but a sharp recession in
general trade can avert monetary
troubles when the crop-moving de
mands set in—relief in the form of
currency legislation is not now pos
sible. last night’s dispatches from
Washington declared. However,
everything points to a le -up in com
mercial activity, and, as« to corollary,
lighter demands for accommodation.
Quieter trade will also react favor
ably upon the best grade of invest
ments.
