The Winter Wheat Crop Generally Fa-
y0rable Outlook.
CINCINNATI, March 16th.-The Price Cur
rent will publish to morrow and extended
report of the winter wheat crop, embracing
reports from nearly 400 points in the winter
wheat-belt. Taking all the evidence into
consideration, with an indication of some
increase in the acreage, the crop may now be
considered as generally promising, with the
prospect of fair yield, not much, if any,
less than the preceding year. In Ohio the
returns indicate pretty fair condition OF the
crop, and q generally favorable outlook.
There is more complaint in Indiana, and the
outlook is considerably impaired and generally
less favorable than year ago. In Illinois
favorable reports predominant, and with an
apparent increase in acreage the prospect
seems to favor an outcome equal to last year.
i a Missouri and Kansas the reports are al
most uniformly favorable, and show in
creased acreage. In Michigan, the winter
wheat sections of Wisconsin and Iowa, there
is much uncertainty yet, the prevailing con-
dition seeming less favorable than year ago,
excepting perhaps ia Iowa. Kentucky is less
favorable, and Tennessee more promising
than a year ago. Unfavorable weather now
and in the early future may considerably inn
pair the outlook, but, on the other hand, the
favorable conditions of weather which now
exist II they continue few weeks, will do
great work in bringing into prominence the
most promising portions OF the crops.
