Snow Says Spring Wheat Flour i ishing, Which Is Contrary to Local Advices. ^Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, June 23. Rain everywhere and move to come and increas ing realization of the seriousness of the situa tion and of the necessity for an immediate Change for the betterthis was the feeling the bears had to meet this morning. September wheat opened a cent up at 90e, just under calls price of Inst night. It sold to 00%c very quick ly, then fell back to 90Hc, and held firm, show ing god support and increased strength on the reaction, and other signs that the pit took to mean still higher prices. The weather was about as unfavorable as it well could be. Bain fell all the way from Winnipeg down to Kansas, and it was raining at Winnipeg when the mar ket opened. It was also raining at Q'Appelle, where 1.34 inches had already fallen, and fur ther down lhere was more or less. This was bad and very disturbing to the trade. For dajs the fear of damage to the northwest crop has been put behind, because always there was the hope that the next day would bring the end of the long bad period, but while even yet there is hope that all will be right, the rain of last night and the prediction for more is almost the lost stiaw. If it wore the northwest alone that stood in unfavorable position it would not be so bad, but in the southwest, where the harvest will soon be general, the weather Is not what could be desired. Showers were reported from Emporia to Newton, Kan., and at 7 a.m. tain was falliug at Omaha. St. Louis had had a four-hour ruin and it was still coming down. Lincoln and Grand Island had much the same onditions and Concordia showed up 1.52 inches with probability of more. The Ohio valley had rain and a drizzle was on to 8 o'clock at Cin cinnati. This certainly justified fear of later bad news from the winter wheat. Jones camp back from the southwest and gave out a premllmlnniy summary. His final figures, he says, will be reserved until he goes thru the Ohio valley again, but the total winter wheat crop of the country he flgmes will be somewhere between 340,000,000 and 370,000,000. This was the last blow to the bears. It indicates a win wheat crop much smaller than anyone else has talked of, and much below what the last govern ment report figures suggested. Minneapolis got 147 cars compared with 149, Duluth 20 against 86 and Chicago 1 against 8. Winnipeg received 57 cars against 73, St. Louis 10,000 bu against 21,000 and Kansas City 27,000 against 21.000. Minneapolis elevator stocks will decrease about 500,000 bu for the week. The Modern Miller iays In response to in tmiries in regard to the piospect of the yield -and quality of winter wheat and as to prob able movement if the weather is favorable for the harvest, reports from milling correspondents show that in the southern part of the wheat belt the outlook for yield and quality is generally below an average, being the poorest in Texas, Tennessee and the teiritories. In Illinois and southern Missouri the yield and quality varies, generally being below an average, but excellent yields ore promised in Kansas and the quality is good. Prospects in Nebraska are good, except in southeast counties where the crop has been damaged by fly. There are some uneven yields in southern Indiana, but the average for yield and quality is good. In Michigan and Ken tucky the prospects are excellent for a larger yield than last year and for good quality. With favorable weather the crop will move late in July and early in August, according to the latitude. The crop has begun to move in Texas and Oklahoma, but harvest has been in terrupted in many states by rain. A number of correspondents say that sales by farmers will ("be influenced by the price. Some report that ^they will hold if the price is below 00c to $1 at the markets. Snow's weekly report says: Weather condi tions of past week generally very favorable and all crop prospects maintained or improved. Spring wheat condition continues very high and the crop is developing rapidly. Previous lateness in growth has about been made good. Reports of fust based more largely upon apprehension en gendered by last year's experience rather than any currnt development. Rd rust shows on the blades every year, but srlous damage follows onlv when weather conditions and character istics of planj: growth combine to favor the 'growth of spores. There is as' yet no definite Indication that such conditions prevail this vear. Primary receipts. 232,000 bu against -12',000. September closed at 90%c and December at S7e.

There is a good deal of happiness in not hunt ing for pleasure. A girl really has curly hair when she isn't afraid to take it out in any kind of weather. A man can never look his wife in the eyes when he tells her he "is going on a business trip. Playing both ends against- the middle is where lawyers charge you for making your will and charge your heirs for breaking it.

Too Wet in the Bed Biver Valley, hut Conditions Further West Very Favor- ableThe Entire Crop Well Booted and in Shape to Do Well if the Weather ImprovesFields Look Thrifty. The Van Dusen-Harrlngton crop report says the widespread fear that rust would attack the 6pring wheat fields this year and general belief that the Weather has been unusually favorable to the rpread of lust, have encouraged reports of rust from every part of Miunesota and the two Dakotas. Wheat plants showing dead and discol ored lea7es are being submitted every day for ex amination. We have had an extended examina tion made of the wheat fields thru the district ttah suffered last season. The investigation was a specialist in this particular branch, and his made by an agriculturist and scientist of note xeport may be relied upon. There is red rust (sometimes known as leaf rust) present in the fields of some districts, and this red rust is plen tifully found on the leaves of barberry and other bushes which usualy harbor it thru the winter but there is no black rust or stem rust to be found. There are di*rk spots on the lower leaves of many plants, and these have been mistaken for rust. They are, in fact, the result of what Is known as "shot-hole fungus." The growth of the wheat plant everywhere is ver ystrong and the dead leaves at the bottom of the plant, which are looked on with such sus picion, are really due in many cases to an excess f moisture, the lower leaves having been de prived of sunlight and air. Ponits in the Red river valley are showing the effect of too much rain, but on the high lands of central Dakota the fields look unusually well, and, taken as a whole, the crop Is in splendid Amal- I Showing condition, The agriculturists of the Minnesota station and also Professor Bolley of the North Dakota station believe that the cool, wet weather which we have had recently in such abundance is the most favorable to the growth of rust, but that if we should have warm dry weather from now on we are not likely to have rust damage. At the time of our last report there was very little difference to be noted between the plants from light and heavy seed. The plant from light seed has had remarkably favorable weather and is still doing well. The only perceptible differ ence at this time is due to the fact that the plant from heavy seed has stooled better. All fields look thrifty, but the growth is estimated to be ten days late.
