Yields of the Great Cereals This Year Will Reach (rop of 1906. , Living priccis are speedily to drop to normal and there will be addec prosperity for the work in gm en of the country if the predictions of a corps of experts employed by the Chicigo Commercial National bank prove correct. The rej)ort submitted by. these experts is to the effect thtvt a wave of prosperity, evidences oif which have oeen numerous:, is gaining momentum daily throughout the country. , The basis for the better condition., is the cereal crop -of the United States, which pr ages a, lower cos. of living. The summary of the bank's report gives the financial, commercial anc industriall condition- of the corrtr as follows:: "Yields' of the great cereals this year are at a bump r record; the final de'tenmin avion will be required tc give the, first or second place with 10OG, w'hen wheat corn and oats as recorded by.tJhe agricultural department aggregated 4,027,000,000 bush els. The yield of wheat per acre wtA only exceeded once in recent years. ;hc a-ggregate of the crop is 735,260,ooo bushels, which was the scconc largest crop ever gathereJ, the recorc being macj in 1901, wCicn 748,000,00C took the edge cff a poor com yield. The effect of this great crop coming afte- two years of small yield a hars stimnlated busin t as ers-ewhere recounted; it comes in time to replenish the depleted ts-tovks on farm? griin'arie, e'lcAtitors, in ills, warehouses and store. Tlie re'unrs are the more gratifying because he year opened unpropitiously. "It is no longer necessary tp sieaJ in cautious tenra-s -f faint and scat tered sign of industrial revival. The evidence, of- improving conditions is coo abundant anj conclusive to' bt gainsaid. The movement has devel oped rnp:d'!y during the last three lnont'hls, and nJw includes so many !ir.t:s and has gained uch inomentun: liiat, 'wi'th fundanien 1 conditions all favorable, a relapse is no longer tc e feared. "AH (tt the ig::s ihit denote riaii.g prosperity and all the condition's pre cedent are at hand. The wreckage f the ipanic has cleared away; the apprehension's- -which it aroused have disappeared. And our pccple are lacing the future with an optimism and courage born ot iknowledge of the woiulerfufl resources of thi '' count ry helves are bare of 'surplus good. and the country ha grown uip to itJ facilities and equipment. At rlu's op partune time to inaiugurate a now era of prosperity comes the best allround eneps cverN produced in thi: country. 'The value of such a crop at thit turne si inestimable, för all linds of bu Niue.s'.s' iwill feel its stJinuating influ ence and all claisses will .share in its benefit's. The fanning clasis haia en joyed a remarkable period of pros perity -covering 'the last efleveu years and its buying power has been the steadying factor in the industrial sit uation siivce the late depression gan"I.irt the prices of all farm produoti. wfliich have reached in recent mcnths the highest general level ever known, have been oppressive to the consumer and the source of much discontent. "The food crops of 1909 are so gen erous in their proportions that a no ticeable decline in trfe cost of livin may be expected, while the farmer wiM make up in quantity what he lases in price and continue to be as good acustcmer a's heretofore.

0 ft if J WAR AGAINST GRADE CROSSINGS INDIANA RAILROAD COMMISSION WILL URGE LEGISLATION ON THIS SUBJECT Next Gentral Assembly Will Be Asked ta Pass Laws to Further Safeguard Public The Indiana Railroad Cotnanrssion will repeat die demand on the state legMaiture fgr legislation that will finaly albcfiwhj tlie grade crossings in the state. Tq enforce the needs of such iegislation the fatadities; during the quarter ending with June will be quoted. During the three months there were twenty persons killed on cros-sings of the -steam roads and fifteen by electric cars by hc some means. The number of casnra3ties ws double tht; fatalities. The 'legislation sought last winter was a law that provided (for. the elimination of one grade crossing to every hundred mifes df track, the expense to be divided between the railjjim company ana tne county in which the crt-js-sdng is located, at a ratio of 75 per cent, to the railroad and 25 per cent, to the counity This law- failed to pass, and wiCl be reconv mended again by bc commission.

An order by the ocrnmissicn directed that a31 raSroafis earning more than $7,500 a track, mile shoui'd plaice plans and specifications! of a black system with the coamris'sioneis .by November 1. According to Jn-lgc J. F. -McOl ure, :n emher of tllie comnnission, every raiTiroad in the state of any importance has alread installed -such a system. Or.e re-ad, the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, has th yitomitic, and the other lines, the manifoM blocking system. 'The American people," -says Judge MoClure, "are ta nation of speed lovers. Thej- want to go fast for the sake of going fast. There i's but little doubt that the faster a train is in motion the greater is the Orabflity to wreck, because the faster the train goes the 'less is its wx-ight on the track; it is literally flying. Thus a poor bit of track, something on , the rails, a dropping brake shoe any Hitlie thing is inducive to derailments. "The oniry course -seems to be to surroun-i this speed with as much safety as possible by the e&iminution of grade crossings, by better railrchds and roadbeds and by mare care m bCbcking trains through advanced kystems. "The speed of trains is tremendous ihese days. Rome "rains o through tins -state on a fifty-mile schedule, including sfops, which means in a few stretches a speed of ninety mles an hour. Tut that i w-Hat the people want, and I can't predict Uegislation curtailing the speed of trains, except, that whk-h Js passed by cities and towns. Our onlv course is tq. surround this speed with as- many safeguards as possible." State Statistician Hurt. Word ha been received at the suate house in Indianapolis thot J. L.
