In the dis trict along- the Northwestern nnd St. Peter roads, wheat Is said to be considerably in jured. If the damn go on the Northwestern proves to b" no more serloun than alone the St. Louis road to Waterlown. It wilt cut but small figure. The St. Louis road will haul more wheat this year than it did last" Prime, In his crop bulletin, yesterday, says: "The last forty-eight hours hove given us a temperature below normal for the season of the year. The nights have been unustiallv cool. Almost bordering up on the frost line. Conditions to-day point to a high degree of temperature. Farmers are mnklng great progress this week with threshing oats, and the Illinois crop par ticularly Is turning out poorly, both In miantttv and ((Utility, particularly the lat ter.

Chicago, 111., Aug. 2. A local paper says: The crop of corn this year will be the largest that has ever been known. It is es timated at the present time that the yield will exceed by Sm.X0,XX bushels the record of any previous year. This condition did not exist a month ago. At that time contln 111 d drouth in nearly all the corn states made the outlook dubious for an average yield. Put the rains came, copious, heavy, continued showers, Just at the timo most needed, and to-day prosperity hovers closer over mtlliona of homes than fur many a year. How much depend upon the corn crop Is realized by few. The corn crop will bring more money, If marketed, than all other grain products combined. The estimated yield of corn for this year Is from 2.25o,ooo, OoO to 2,5oo,00O,'1O0 bushels. At the present prtee, which Is 35 cents for December or May delivery, tho crop would bn worth IVW.om.wio. A decline of 5 cents 11 bushel would mean a difference of JIls.OoO.Ooo in tho value of the crop. To emphasize the Im mensity of this production It may be said that the stale qf Iowa alone will raise enough corn this year to supply mote than five bushels to every man. woman and child In the Untied Slates. Illinois, lon. Min nesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas comprise what has been termed the corn belt. This section furnishes nearly. If nut quite, two-third of the entire corn product. 80 favorable have the reports become of an enormous yield that the managers of tho various railroads that traverse the valleys of the. Missouri nnd Mississippi rivers are already making arrangements and perfect ing their equipment for handling the crop. The 0l c of workmen has been Increased In a, number of the liops and all tolling stock is being repaired und rnado avail able for use. In addition to new freight cars, that are being hurried rapidly In con struction. The government report of July 10 Indlcat ed that thero would be an unusUallj huge yield of corn, but since that report w.i Issued conditions have vastly improved. Seen tary Morton ha called for 11 special iviort upon mm from all uvattur station-i, Which will be furnished next Tuesday The pr-vious gr.ntist yield of any year wa In 1SV, when the .11 it-age wus 7s.31tf.tul and the yield 2.11.'.ii'.i2 ll bushels.

A night's consideration of the exbli-i? conditions of the wheat market nm e mot raused a reversal of general senllim ft. Some few who had Interpreted the ui roumllngs dllTerrntly front tho nrm il crowd bid from V-f'lc )er bushel over I ho closing price of the day before, but tlcv wero Immediately overwhelmed with otf. r Ings, and In consequenre those who wish, t to buy wheal and waited ilfterrt miiiui. -, got all they wanted at 07'ic. The up. mnif quotations for September Were 7i ant f.i.c, ngalnst CSc at the dose. lh r.irly ilispalchcB from New York had for Ho ir mot prominent feature the report th it 11.5o)).C0 gold would be shipped from Hum to-morrow. There -was nothing else in too early telegraphic news to aecoutit for lite great change In public opinion, but th.i was enough to deepen tho distrust with which the traders came prepared. Thn depression deepened still further as thn forenoon waned, until nbout 12 o'clock, September wheat was down to osHr. Tho Chicago Inspection showed fifty-two i.ir loads of new wheat received, nnd only three of them up to the contract prnln standard. A year ngo receipts here i"r.i 63 cars, of which 393 wero of thu contract quality, The total tcculpls nt primary Western markets wero 307.(o, against: S71,'o bushels a year ago. The one dis turbing feature of tho statistical exhibit Mas, ns before, the exports. From tho four principal Atlantic porta the export for the twenty-four hours comprised only 19.1VO bushels of wheat and 3,000 barrels oi Hour. The stock of wheat at Minneapolis havo decreased 1,200,000 bushels this weik, nnd at Ottltith Ifo.Onj bushels, nccordlng to advices from there, and notwithstanding the almost complete stoppage of the expott trade another substantial decronsn In the visible seems assured. The foreign mar kets were firm nt the opening. Liverpool quoted fjd advance; Rerlln. U mark gain, and Paris was quoted at only n small frnc. tlon lower than It closed yesterday, and had turned that Into nn advance at tho clo.-e. The reason for the upturn nt Parl.i during the day was on account of rainy weather In France, where the harvest h In progress. In the afternoon there was a tendency to recover' from os'ie. Near the close the price was holding tlrm nronnil fiSHc. The firmness of tho foreign mar kets nnd tho taking of a few 111010 loads or red wheat at Haltlmoro nnd spring whent at Duluth tended to elvo the market luri the appearance of firmness: It was exhibit ing after lis considerable break. The clos ing quotation for September was CS' ii cy-'.c. Corn weakened In tho nfternoon. nfter a very llrm start nt on advance of 'ic over yesterday's closing quotation for Septem ber. The opening trades were nt 41c In a few cases, hut there wero very few sellers at that. It dropped gradually at first, but later the decline became more rapid until the price wns down to I2';c; It then teeov ered to 42VC. nt which prlco a lot was sold. The openlns of Mny was at S5ic nnd it declined to 3l";c nnd c!oed nt 33'-735'e. The day's receipts wero 31i cars and for to-morrow 413 cars are the estimated ar rivals. The cash demand was perceptibly reduced and, ns that has been the princi pal offset to the fairly good receipts, tho weakness was doubtless duo In a largo part to that change. Oats opened steady at yesterday's clos ing quotations nnd held so for some tlmo under the lnlluence of general buying or ders from shliipers and New York peoplr. Later on the market contracted a very heavy feeling from corn, nnd lower price; resulted. September opened nt 22',-c, soM down to 21sAi721Jcle, nnd closed nt 21:1.ic. The provision market opened llrm, be cause of published stocks nt the end of tho month proving smaller than had been ex pected. They were not sulliclently re duced, however, to prevent the- goneral break In grain nffecting speculative sent!, ment.
