The Wheat Crop.

Meeting Mr.. Robinson, of the firm Of A
V. Robinson Il Co, yesterday we
him to the pumping process a few minutes
for the benefit OF our readers. MIR. Robin
sons firm is one of the largest milling ant
I grain buying firms in western Missouri, anC
his judgment Is very clear In matters relat'
Ing to gralu, being a large shipper as wei
as miller.
Question. 'Mr. Robinson, how dc you
think the wheat crop OF Lafayette county
Will turn out"
Answer. 81 believe that there will be
about three-fourths Of crop IN the county"
Question. "What will be the quality oil
the grain|
Answer. "What L have seen OF 1t runs
from rejected to number g."
Question. els there no lumber 2Y
Answer. "I have seen none up to this
time. The quality Of the wheat has been
very much injured by the rains, and the
grain has not matured as well as usual. This
may be more the case near the river than
further south In the county. where there was
not SO much rain. There will probably be
some number 2 wheat, but not much"
Question. ssHow much wheat do you
think Lafay cite county will have to spare?'
Answer. .'About three-fourths of a mil
lion bushels. The wheat is turning out from
Al to 16 bushels per acre. generally toward
the top figure. L think the average will be
about 10 bushels, and the acreage was very
large"
Question. "Are the farmers generally
threshing from the shock or stsckingl"
Answer. 'They are mostly stacking"
Question. "In order to hold their crop in |
anticipation OF higher prices?"
Answer. "Yes. they are generally able to
do so now, and 1 believe are becoming more
and more so every year."
Question. "What do you think about the
foreign demsnd?"
Answer. 81 believe that 1t will be large.
Indeed there Is already q good foreign de-
mand for wheat and flour. II there were
not l do not know what we SHOULD do with
our crop. Prices would certainly be ruin
Ously low. Our firm has been solicited by
very Intelligent commission men to establish
our Lexington tiours permanently In Eu.
markets, but we have taken no steps
In that direction yet, as we are very well
satisfied with the st. Louis market for our
Hours, where they are well established. l
that there will be a large demand
not only for wheat and flour, but
Tor corn"
Question. "What are you paying for
wheat :"
Answer. "From 70 to 80 cents"
Question. "Do you look for any advance
n prlce!"
Answer. "No. Not until the wheat ia in
,etter order for MARKET"
Question. 'Will stacking improve its
condition ~
Answer. "Yes, it willvery materially i'm
Its condition, but 1t will not alter the
,rade. |.
