u.ssurmg, for while the local posting was for
wainiei weather, the general forecast was for
bhowers .igain In Minnesota. As a matter of
f.ict, the change which, from present indica
tions, is going to work around gradually to
"^higher temperatures and good gi owing weather,
is better than if it had come off hot right after
the rains. Advices from North Dakota are favor
able, and the Red River valley got less moisture
after all than many supposed who watched the
recent heavy rains here, for Minneapolis re
ceived more than the country further north. The
valley is wet and very backward in the bad
places, but conditions are no worse than last
week, and this morning the prospect seemed a
Uttle better. Chicago ran up May to 86%,
