BUMPER CORN CROP TN SIGHT
Spring Wheat Estimate Is Raised In Past
Month.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. Better weather
favored crops generally during August, and
aa a result larger yields were forecast to
day by the Department of Agriculture In
Its estimates based on conditions existing
oepiemoer x.
In a summary of crop conditions, the cron
reporting board said:
The great corn cron of 8.250.000.000
bushels promised on September 1. which Is
izj.uuu.uuu Dusneis above any previous year,
will be realized fully in the form of sound
corn, only provided frost holds off unusually
late, a good Dig crop ot sound corn is .
promised if killing frost in the main belt
does not come earlier than usual. The In
dicated outcome results from a big acreage
rather than exceptional promise of yield per
acre.
"The oats crop for 1917. promised and
largely realized on September 1 is 1.533.000.-
000 bushels, within 6.000.000 bushels of the
greatest previous crop. Conditions are re
ported 10 per cent above 'normal in Iowa
and Missouri. In North Dakota, however,
the crop promises only two-fifths, and In
Montana less than half of a normal yield,
while It is less than two-thirds in Wash
ington and Oregon.
"The Spring wheat report on September
1 promises 250,000.000 bushels, 14.000,000
bushels more than on August 1, early
threshings having shown heavier yield than
anticipated in many sections, particularly
In Minnesota. South Dakota and Iowa. The
conditions in North Dakota, as well as Mon
tana. Washington and Oregon, remain poor
from the effect of drouth."
Other details of the report follow:
Spring wheat, condition 71.2 per cent ot
a normal; Indicated yield, 1S.1 bushels per

with an additional recession of as much,
later extending Its setback to a total of

of their losses before midday. Later,
when dealings dwindled, this improvement
became more pronounced, especially In to

BUSINESS

LESS
HESITANT
Advancing; Season Calculated to Stimulate
Many Branches.
NEW YORK. Sept. 7. Dun's tomorrow
will say:
Waiting is still the rule In not a few
quarters, though In the main business Is
rather less hesitant and the advancing sea
son Is calculated to stimulate thosa
branches which have experienced the usual
Summer halting. With lower temperatures,
working conditions are also better, but the
enlargement ot manufacturing capacity does
not in all cases assure augmented outputs,
for the labor problem grows more difficult
with the draft in operation, and even where
supplies of raw materials are adequate the
obstacles In transportation not Infrequently
Impede their movement to points of des
tination. That many of the mills and factories con
tinue to run actively on previous orders, and
will be thus engaged for some time to come.
Is generally known, yet of new contracts
from regular channels there are fewer on
the whole, and purchasing as the necessity
arises stands out aa a most prominent fea
ture, not only in the East, but also In the
West and South.

CORN CROP DELAYED
With Plant Growth Backward
Frost Danger Is Greater.
BUYING AT CHICAGO BRISK
Prices Advance Notwithstanding
Bearish Government Report Is
Anticipated Guesses as to
Wheat Estimate Wrong.
CHICAGO, Sept. T. Not-withstandlnc that
traders anticipated the Government crop
report would Indicate bumper yields of both
corn and oats, sharp advances took place
today In the value ot the two cereals. Un
easiness over delays and other 111 effects
likely to result from prevalllnc cold wet
weather much more than offset all bearish
factors Com closed nervous, 2c to 24c
net higher at 1.14K to 1.14H for Decem
ber and fllOVs to I1.10H for May. Oats
rained 11Ho to la and provisions 12c
to 850.
Strong houses took the lead from the
outset In regard to the buying of corn. They
assumed the position that under present
field conditions a killing frost before Octo
ber 1 might Inflict severe damage on the
crop, owing to the prospect that as a re
sult of adverse weather the maturity of
the plant would be dangerously postponed.
Fears that the widespread rains would
greatly hinder threshing gave much Im
petus to the upward swing of the oats
market.
Attemp'ts to prophesy as to the Govern
ment estimate of the Spring wheat crop
turned out to have been too optimistic. A
popular theory that an Increase of 23.000,000
bushels would be Indicated as compared with
the production In August has to be thrown
away, when, after the close, the official
figures from Washington proved to be less
than half as large.
Provisions rose with gains In " the value
of hogs. Word that the Government would
not. at least for the present, try to fix
prices of meats tended to accelerate the
advance, and so, too. did urgency of demand
