Disaster to the CrOps.

CHICAGO, June 25.-Dispatches re-
ceived at the Western Associated
Press office, in this city, from eastern
and central Indiana and all parts of
Illinois indicate that the recent terri
fic thunder storm and hurricane had
no perceptible i'll effect upon the grow
ing crops. In most of the localities
from which dispatches have been re-
ceived the storm was much less severe
than in this vicinity. Many dispatch
es state that the crop prospects were
hence better in some few localities.
The wheat crop is suffering from rust.
Reports from western Wisconsin and
from the great wheat belt in Minne-
sofa do not give so favorable q view.
Accounts from other sections Of Min
nesota justify the belief that the disas-
ter has been general and the yield viii
fall far below the average.
MILWAUKEE,, June 25.-The crop
reports received from a few points In
Minnesota and Wisconsin indicate a
very poor prospect in Minnesota, but
Iowa and WiscQngin come in much
better than expected. The recent
heavy rains have done much good and
an average crop is anticipated.
LAKE City, MINI, June 25.-The
wheat crops promises to be very light.

CHICAGO, June 15.-The warehouse
bill passed by the Legislature of IlIi-

July. The WarehousemenO Of this citv
held meeting a few DAYS ago, and It
is understood they agreed to reduce
their charges for storage for sound
grain to the following rates: Two
cents per bushel for finest twenty days
or parts thereof, and halt cent Der
bushel for each succeeding ten days or
part thereof. The tariff fixed in the
warehouse bill is two cents for the
first thirty days, and half cent for each
subsequent fifteen days. This decf-
sion denotes that they will not take
out license under the law, but will 10
business as private Warehousemen, re-
ceiving grain only from those who
may request them in writing to do so
at the above rates. Storsges for this
purpose the WOrehOusemen will, in
accordance with the provisions of the
constitution, make weekly returns of
grain in store, received and shipped
by each, with the number of the ware
house, receipts outstanding against
each elevator; but it is understood
that they have legal advice that the
bill recently passed by the Legislature
is unconstitutional in several Ofits pro-
visions, and cannot therefore be en-
forced.
