CROP OF 1908 BANNER , AGRICULTURAL OUTPUT The greatest crops ever produced by any one country In the history oi the world Is the estimate placed on the crop of 1908 In the United Statei by Henry Clews, the wizard of Wal. street, and to this enormous crop is due the rapid improvement in the financial condition of the country. Mr. Clews says: Financial conditions continue t show steady Improvement, chlefl) owing to favorable crop prospects easy money and--a more hopeful feel Ing In business circles. Our financial leaders and captalm of Industry are all becoming more and more optimistic in their opln Ions. Depression is slowly but grad ually disappearing, and evidence o Improvement are visible in the dl minlshlng number of Idle cars, in the somewhat better orders for steel, in a partial revival of building, and in r steadier demand for merchandise lr many of the leading markets. Of course business Is still very quiet, and In volume much below that of a year ago. But the fact It true, nevertheless, that depression 1: waning, and that we are fairly start ed on the road to recovery, with nt prospect of another panic in sight, because 'of the thoroughness of re cent liquidations. It may be some time before the activity of 1907 Is regained, but the recovery should be more rapid than usual because the country generally Is not suffering from over productloi as during the previous panic, and ere long our Industries must restart tc prevent an actual scarcity of mer chandise if Dresent contraction . is persisted in. The most stimulating element In the situation at present is the crop outlook. Our weather during the past two weeks continued favorable and condition of the crops has cor respondlngly improved. The corn crop this year, according to present promise will yield 2,700, 000,000 bushels, which at the Septem ber option price of 62 cents would be valued at $1,700,000,000. The wheal crop, with an Indicated yield of 675,- 000,000 bushels at 93 cents per bush el would amount to $627,000,000. The jcotton crop, which promise- 13,000,000 bales at 9'i cents woulc yield about $600,000,000. The oat anc hay crops now' out of danger, are record breakers in quantity and qual ity. Last year these two crops were valued at over $1,000,000,000, and thU year that sum will be further ex ceeded. All the crops of 1907 were estimated by the department of agri culture at a valuation of $7,412, 000,000 on the farmland in view oi the larger yield this year, and the good prices generally obtained, it 1: quite reasonable to expect that oui farmers this year will produce new wealth worth at least $8,000,000,000; the largest sum ever realized In one year by this country or any othei from agricultural products.
