The Financial Outlook.
Authorities inform the Journal
from New York that a decided
change for the better has taken
place in the metrepolis. There
are many reasons. w
The promise of Texas, to dis-
gorge a superabundant harvest
comes like * covenant of. good
cheer to notonly New York, but
EWropean markets.
The dissolutions* th& gevorn-
mént's injunction suit againstihe
railroads is another and a new
add more harmonilus railroad
bill, another. < •
Perhaps the brightest develop-
ment of the past week was the
government crop report: the ad-
viees as to spring wheat being
better than expected. The indi-
cation now are for a total wheat
crop of 702*000,000 bushels, a-
gainst a harvest last year of 787-
000,000 bushels. This suggests a
shrinkage of about 25,000,000
bushels as a res>ult of poorer con-
dition than a year ago. ¡An oats
crop of 1,021,000,009 bushels is
indicated, or about 13,000,000
bushels in excess of last year,
while the outlook for barley is
foif a crop of 179,000,000 bushels
or about 8,000,000 bushels in ex-
cels of last year. There is also
a probability of a big hay crop,
although no returns for this pro-
duct have thus far been furnish-
ed. For cotton, the outlook is
about 13,000,000 bales, or fully
3,000,000 more than last year.
In all parts of the country there
has been a larger acreage tilled,
and conditions are such as to in-
duce farmers everywhere to raise
the very largest product per acre
possible. This means that the
country will be favored with a,-
bundance in quantity, and that
farmers, though receiving low:er
prices than a year ago, will nev-
ertheless obtain liberal net Re-
sulta.
The liquidation which has re-
cently taken place in grain and
cotton is beneficial in more ways
than one. It will tend to lower
the cost of living, put an end to
dangerous speculation and facil-
itate more normal conditions in
foreigh trade.
The fact is the outlook is bright
all along the line from New York
to Mexico, and good and grand
old Texas was never in better
shape in every particular.—Com-
anche Chief.
