The United Slates consul at Toronto hns sent a report to Washington that Ontario has rained the largest crop In twenty years. Manitoba al.no will have enormous crops. Dennis says that the Siberian urea, which I said to have a crop above the average, Is 60 per pent of all Russian art a. Dennis, at Chicago, wired to the Adams drain company: 'We have a One sample of wheat from Ontario, which they are of fering to Liverpool at 8"c, e. i. f. What show will America have to work much wheat on the basis of such C ann.llan offer ings, and especially what chance will mid dle American states have when Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York are now sell ing on the basis of 75c in Baltimore and New York? The wheat In the west Is too high." Regarding oats, patten says: "Oats are on an export basis. Prices are 'fiSi; lower than last year and oats nre passing Into consumption freely. The farmer in Illinois will get 24'fi Joe, in Iowa about ln lir, und In the nortnwest around 20c. I do not think they will work sixteen hours a day to sell oats at these prices.

CHICAGO. Aug. 1-Clear weather north west made prices continuously weak In the wheat market here today. At the close the September option was off UWVc. Corn Is down 'un. oats show a loss of Ssr. Provisions are 5o lower. The wheat market was under continuous selling pressure throughout the entire ses sion. At the opening September option was a shad'! lower to a shade higher, nt fi.r. M a to 85',c. A holiday at Liverpool turned first attention to the wheat fields of Minne sota and the Dakotas Weather in the northwest was ideal for the ripening of wheat In the northern sections. There was an absence of reports claiming damage by rust. Extreme weakness at Minneapolis was taken here as Indicating that there had been at least a temporary collapse of the blight scare. As a result of the con ditions named prices here gradually crum bled. An official forecast for fair weather tomorrow for the northwest added learlsh sentiment. About the only encouragement from the bulls came from decreased re ceipts southwest. Small holders and pit traders were the principal Bellers. Offer ings were taken by commission houses. From the street prices steadily declined, the market closing weak at the lowest point of the day. Final quotations on Sep tember were nt 3T4c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 31.5O0 bushels. Pri mary receipts were 912. bushels, com pared with M3.2nu bushels a year bko. Min neapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re ceipts of 40ji cars, against 567 cars last week and i'xl cars a year ago Kxcellent prospect f B humper crop caused weakness in the corn market. Lib eral acceptances and weakness of cash rorn contributed to the slump In option prices. The market closed at practically the lowest j point September opened mf10 to H5 lower, at 53V''Vc to 53SC sold off to 52Mii.te, and closed at 53o. Local receipts were ISO cars, witn 20 of contract grade. Oats were weak on prospects of a large gain In local stocks. Cash houses were the principal sellers, although there was con siderable protit taking. Weakness of other grain had a depressing effect. Peptember os'iied Ho lower at 27yc. sold down to au;c and closed at 2b7ifo27c. Local receipts were 313 cars. Provisions were a trifle easier on profit taking by small holders, not withstanding a small advance In the price of live, hogs Weakness of grain was a bearish influence. At the close September pork was off Bo at $1.1.57',. Lord und ribs also were down 5o, closing nt I7.4TH and 12H. respectively. Estimated receipts for Monday: w neav. 2f'5 cars; coin, itti cars; oats, 4a2 cars. Hots, nilmo head. The leuding futures ranged as follows: Articles.l Open. Hlgh.l Low. Close. I Yes y.

Fears existed that the Item of luns might snow a heavy expansion as a result of tne Augjst 1 settlements arid t'ne payments of an installment on tne Japanese loan sub scription with the privilege to subscrib ers to pay in full and save Interest. The bank statement showed all of the ex pected decrease In casii, but the moderate loan expansion of ll.aiti.joo proved much less formlduble than had been anticipated.

Beef steers for the week are Just about steady with the close of last week. There has been little change In prices all the week and the market has held ud In good shape. The choicer grades are stronger and In some cases prices look higher. There nas oeen a good Btrong demand tor sup plies all the week, packers being free buy ers. The western cattle are beginning to come In pretty freely now and are selling well. Receipts this week have been light, giving salesmen an advantage. The short fed and half-fat cattle have been some thing of a drag on the market all the week and slow sale, but salesmen have man aged to hold prices Just about steady. She stuff has been In good demand all the week and activity was a feature nearly every day. The supply of cows and heifers has been rather small and with a good call from all sources prices have flowed steadily upward right along. The advance noted Is fully a quarter, except on the commoner grades, which could not be quoted that much higher. Canners were alow sale and are only steady. Bulla and stags are a shade higher for the week, ith a fair demand, while veal calves are Just about steady. There has been a good call for stockers and feeders both from yard traders and country buyers, and sellers have had little difficulty In finding a buyer for their hold ings. Prices have been stronger and on some of the good kinds higher. HOGS There waa a light run here even for a Saturday, only about sixty-two loads being offered. With these light receipts sellers had the advantage and prices were higher. Salesmen early were holding their hos at pretty stiff prices, more than buyers wunted to pay, and as a result trading was slow and dull and very little was done till about the middle of the forenoon. After buyers and sellers got together, however, the stuff was picked up pretty briskly and a clearance was made In good season. Prices today reached the high point of the year and the top price was the highest paid since last September. The bulk of the hogs sold at $5.72416.774, with tops reaching $5. 85.

Statistics of fail ures last month, and so far this year, may naturally be Interpreted as in Heating a stable and sound Industrial condition.

July failures really number 04. as against 771 of last vear. It must be stated, however, that the showing on liabilities has not been so good a total of $10,5o3,000, as against 35ii, e) a year ago.

Hietl is In a peculiar position. It is tier -erally known that those who wr, orig inally Identified with the format. on of ilie United States Steel corporation and who sold most of their common stock ehove 50 and again took It In at 10, are no-v holding large lines or the Issue. What they expect to do with It Is a difficult thing to understand. Recently there has been considerable talk about restoring the stock to a dividend basis. Bome prominent operators hold that the common stock will not yield another divi dend until the company has accumulated a surplus of at least $:$'). ooo.noo others arc or the opinion that an over-plus of over $100,000,000 will be sufficient to Induce J. P. Morgan to put the stock hack on a 4 per cnt basis. It Is noted that from a point of view of actual surplus profits the neglect of adequate outlay for depre ciation during last year's lien earnings had mn.le necessary an abnormally large appropriation of the sort In the last quarter.- The upshot of this prudent policy la that the surplus over all charges and ap propriations during the quarter ending with June was but slightly larger than In the same period a year ago, although the earnings grew enormously. When com pared with the second quarter of 19"3, tho present surplus balance Is reduced $12,0oo. 000, even though two years ago tho divi dends on steel were being paid. in n great many ways the steel corporation Is stronger than it was two years ago, but the surplus fund has fnllon almost i'3, OOD.nooO since that time, and Is recovering very slowly.

Abont Honda. There was a time, a few years ago, when anything that looked like a stock cer tlticate sold very readily to the public. The preferred system was then Inaugurated nnd the legal preference given this class of securities found great favor through out the country. Subsequently the Invest ing public learned neither one nor the other was as good as It looked. The coun try Investor became careful his experience bcann to tell. When clever promoters found that the sentiment of the country was changing and that the preference of the Investors seemed to favor bond Issues, no tlmo was lost to devise a system wherebv bonds might be sold very freely, wlille the corporation assumed little or no additional obligation. Today the Investing public Is buying these bonds as freely and with as much careless ness as It did the green and gold stock certificates of ten years ago. Bonds such ns "debentures." which pay Interest when the Interest Is earned; -collateral trusts." which nre a kind of lien on the corpora tion s securities, but not on the railroad property itself; "convertibles." which are merely an option on tiie shares at a stip ulated figure, nnd "Incomes," which are essentially no different from the shares themselves: all of these are examples of our present day high finance. None of these are first or second mortgnges. Most people who buy bonds of tills character believe they are all first mortgages. Investment that Pay. Among the smaller organizations sueh conditions do not prevail. Private greed and cllossal ambitions have not yet taken root. There nre several manufacturing oni-poratlons In Chicago nnd other cities whoso securities have been closely Investi gated, and whose management has re mained honest and sincere even In this age of trickery and deceit. A very rare opportunity exists In this direction for making good Investments. 1 am of the firm belief that the sentiment of the en tire country Is about to change, and that smaller, but honest and meritorious, busi ness enterprises, which have not been re ceiving their share of public: financial sup port, are going to benefit by existing con ditions among the htige combinations which have been so largely over capitalised that little or no opportunity presents Itself for betterment until they am gone through the throes of honest reorganization. After carefully observing the tendency of the Investing public, it becomes apparent that much of the country's money, which formerly went Into listed securities, Is being devoted to the smaller and less gigantic enterprises. In other words, thef trickeries and high finance methods of some of our Wall street giants have re sulted In awakening the country Investor to the existing conditions. As a matter of fact, there Is as much safety and greater honesty to be found among the smaller corporations, which are doing a straightforward, clean, legitimate business, free from the greed nnd avarice of the big promoters. I have looked into the affairs of several of these companies and I was agreeably surprised by the com parative cleanness of tho business methods find by the high standard of commercial ethics employed. It Is to be hoped that these Institutions will receive the sup port of the puhllc which their merit and commercial Integrity deserves. F. O. DRUINDING. W. Farm Smith & Go.
