New YORK, June 81.
Dispatches received ut the Westen
Associated Press office in this city, from
eastern and central Wisconsin, eastern
and central Iowa, northern and central
Indiana, and all parts OF Missouri, indicate
that the recent terrific thunder storm and
hurricane had no percGptible i'll effects
upon the growing crops. In most OF the
localities from which dispatches have
been received the storm was much less sc.
we're than in this vicinity. Many of the
dispatches state that crop prospects were
never better, In some few localities the
wheat crop Is suffering from the rust.
The reports from western Wisconsin and
from the great wheat belt in Minnesota
do not give so favorable aVew. The st.
Paul Press says q recent trip over the sec.
tion bordering the Mississippi river, in
that State, so far as observation extended,
evidence was found that the reported i'll
condition Of the wheat crop was fully jus,
titled Accounts received from other sec.
tons of Minnesota Justify the belief that
the disaster has been general, and that
the yield will fall far below the average.
This statement Is confirmed by the fol.
lowing dispatches for the Western AssO-
CiatGd Press, received from prominent
points in Minnesota and Wisconsin,
