CHICAGO, July lG.-A Milwaukee special
says trustworthy correspondents in the
territory drained by Chicsso Milwaukee
aud St. Paul railroad system write from
90 points respecting the grain outlook.
The burden oi their reports state there will
be large wheat yield, half Q crop OF corn
and the largest oat crop ever known. In
nearly all parts OF Minnesota the weather
iavors a stout growth and full head. Fine
weather stopped rust which appeared in a
lev Counties and = fine crop is insured.
The Hessian fly appeared only to vanish
promptly. Winter grain is being har.
vested, and and spring wheat will be cut
in about ten days. In some parts Of the
State, notably In the north the corn will
bsa total failure except for fodder. Weeds,
iosered by the wet, cold weather having
choked the corn, the crop will be about
one-third the average. All parts Of the
State promise an enormous yield Of oat
and excellent rye. Az +
In Iowa the harvesting is more forward
and corn is improving very rapidly, other.
wise the crops in the two States are nearly
identical. The chinch bugs have appeared,
but too late 10 do any damage. About
three.iourths OF crop OF corn Is expected,
and fine weather for three or four weeks
may secure it from frost and make the
yield considerably larger. There is not
an unfavorable feature in the oats crop,
which will be enormous all over the Sta,e.
In Wisconsin the wheat crop is the best
Tor many years. Some OF it has ripened
too much and there is some rust, but these
things are incidental, not general defect.
Harvest will soon be eunder way all over the
State. Nearly all grain is we'll headed.
Corn will be about half crop. The low
lands have been too wet. Oats will be the
heaviest crop in history. Rye will be good
