ing. Corn needs warmer weather.
Bain have been of much benefit to fruit in
nnirrigated districts, especially to berries, but
picking and shipping of strawberries have been
interfered with. Some strawberries, intended for
ahipping. have been sold to canneriea. Straw
berries are ripening in some of the milder sec
tions, i Apples ana prunes are growing well. I
Unlrrigated meadows have been greatly helped
by rain. In southern counties irrigated Ufalfa
baa made good growth. , Elsewhere alfalfa and
cluver need warmer weather and more sunshine.
Some alfalfa in swath and shock discolored by
rain. The rain revived pastures and. ranges,
which are holding up wen and generally furnish
abundant feed. Stock la in good condition ax
cert over small area. V
f Garden vegetables need warmer weather, but
are generally thriving since the ' tain began.
Early peas are fairly plentiful and some new
potatoes are offered. Late potatoes are coming
up well. Hop are being cold rated and trained
and promise good yields.

P0LiTIC.1L AFFAIRS
AFFECT WL
: BUSINESS LinLE
. By Walter Br Brown
. Editor of the New Trtrk Commercial.
Written for the Caited News.
, NeW York, June 18. The slowing
down In general business here ard
there has been due not to pay fear
of political consequences so much a?
to the efforts of the banking com
munity to limit loans to necessary
business.
Reductions in retail prices have oc
curred v chiefly In wearing; . apparel.
Wholesalers throughout the country
are exerting- every effort to convince
the public that the decline in prices ia
not permanent. Those, however, v. ho
weigh facta from the standpoint of the
economist rather than the trader, feel
that the peak of high prices has passed.
The recent inflation has largely been
due to the exhilaration of those who
found, themselves possessed of war
profits, including the labor element -with
its largely Increased wage acale.
Speculators have the Idea that prices
would advance indefinitely, which ac
counts for th accumulation of some cf
the large stocks of commodities, sni
which are now being turned back upon
the market in the hope of at leaHt re
ceiving the initial cost, but this situa
tion has now changed. The popular
mind Is discovering that economy is a
necessity. The present break in com
modity prices was sensed as Ion ft ago
as last February by keen observers, and
many stock market operators are de
claring that the break in stocks which
occurred then was based upon it.
