Prospect for
Bumper Crops
.Much Reduced
Vcathf r and Crop News jMost
Essential Factors in Grain
Markets Last Week; Slow
Business in General.
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Culrago Tribune-Omaha Bee Uwd Wire.
Chicago, June 26. Weather and
crop news were the most essential
factors in the grain markets last
week, but their effect in enhancing
values was greatly reduced by the
light outside trading. Many of the
professionals were inclined to the
constructive side of the market for a
considerable part of the week, only
to unload at the last. A number of
the commission men, as well as the
professionals, have pronounced con
structive opinions as to wheat values,
and expect to see them hold between
$1.25 and $1.50 for some time to
come. There are also a few who
are emphatic in their opinions and
predict much higher prices.
There is an unusual amount of ma
terial on which to base a construc
tive position. Crop prospects in the
United States have been materially
cut down. The Kansas crop which
in May promised 136,000,000 bushels,
or the same as last year, is estimated
y the June report of the Kansas de-
Friday at 113,000,000 bushels, or 23,
000,000 bushels short of last year.
Oklahoma nas a wei Harvest and
isome of the wheat re ma jus uncut.
Taking the winter wheat crop in all,
Mt will mostly be cut by the fourth of
July, arid with good weather possibly
before. Very little threshing has
been done, and scattered reports in
dicate disappointing yields.
Spring wheat in the northwest is
spotted and has lost its bumper
prospects. There is some black rust
in South Dakota, but, as the crop is
well advanced, it is doubtful whether
there is serious damage.
ihere is drouth in the Don and
.Volga districts of Russia, which are
important wheat sections. France is j
suffering from drouth, and the oat
crop mere is expected to be attected
more than wheat. Argentina needs
rains, and has 76,000,000 bushels of
wheat to export.
Estimates made by New York
exporters are that European import
ing countries will need to import
575,000,000 to 600,000,000 bushels the
coming season, or about the same
as for that just closing. This has
an important effect on views of those
who are friendly to higher prices.
With Russia out of the export line,
and with no surplus,, the world-over
consumption of the new crop will be
started almost as soon as it is har
' vested.
Considering the financial and busi
ness conditions, the slow business in
general, with the public mind look
ing for deflation-rather than inflation
of values, it is well to stop and
tush the main constructive and tre-
pre.HlttgU-Wctors, Ordinarily during
recent year o war inflation the
present wheat situation' would invite
heavy speculative buying and higher
prices. Under existing conditions
traders who weigh all important fac
tors on both sides of the market say
that it is best to allow a discount of
SO to 75 per cent in the effectiveness
of present influences on values on
the constructive side. , In other
words, when one stops to consider all
the strengthening influences, it is
best to take into account this point.
There are enough bullish factors to
make an advance of 25 to 50 cents a
bushel in wheat under conditions
prevailing tne last lew years, nut an
present an advance of around 25 per j
rent is ahnur all flip tnaVk-rt is en-
titled to until business and financial
conditions improve and speculative
buying enlarges.

Aurora, Neb., June 26. (Special.)
A strange bird has come to town.
The folks are all looking at him
curiously and the other birds that
flock into this community regard
him with suspicion.. None of them
will associate with him.
With every feather snow white and
with pink eyes and bright yellow bill
and legs, this new bird is the won
der of town. He lives in the mul
berry tree at the home of Frank
Johnson. Some people say he is
nothing but a white black-bird,
while others say that he is an albine
robin. He is too small to be a
blackbird and he does not resemble
a robin greatly. He has little to
say and is busy making a living and
keeping out of the way of irate blue
jays, robbins and blackbirds that
have little or no patience with a bird
who wears a while suit every day jn
the week.
it ne would only sing a little or
chirp the local experts in ornithology
would be able to hazard a guess as
to what species the stranger belongs.
But so far, he has minded his own
business and has let out neither song
nor chirp.

Made In Omaha
By JACK LEE.
Since manufacturing began the subject of patronizing borne
concerns has been one uppermost in every manufacturing center.
Years ago manufacturers and boosters for home products began
singing their songs, boosting for
these songs, by constant reiteration through the years brought re
sults. In other communities the boosters sung until they were blue
in the face, their vocal cords worn to a frazzle, yet the local sales
of home manufactured products failed to arise and respond to the
urging. '
There have been several reasons for this indifference. Per
haps the products manufactured were not up to the standard of
those produced elsewhere. Again the manufacturers may have
neglected to take the local field into consideration or the retail
merchant found more profit in handling other wares. The great
difficulty has been in bringing about a concerted effort on the
part of mauufacturer, retailer and the public to push home-made
goods.
This situation has been rampant in Omaha for years and just
now Omaha manufacturers are
of the surrounding trade territory and coming to the conclusion
that after all Omaha might be a

But the manufacturers are

Most of this advertising is

buyers, constantly being confronted with advertisements of these
widely proclaimed goods, have their minds set on what they want
to buy when they go shopping.
The merchant long ago realized this and when a customer
comes in to buy, the salesman

As usual, the first shirts placed before him were those of a
