Western Crops.

MILWAUKEE, July 26.-Trusty cor.
respondents in the territory drained
by the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul Railroad system write from 293
points respecting the grain outlook
The burden of the reports is large
wheat yield, a half crop of corn and
the largest oat crop ever known.
In nearly all parts of Minnesota
the weather favors a stout growth
and full heads. Winter grai0 is be-
ing harvested and spring wheat will
be cut in about ten days. In some
parts of the State. notably in the
north, corn will be a total failure.
The crop throughout the State will be
about one-third of the average. All
parts of this State promise an enor-
nous yield of oats and excellent
rye.
In Iowa the harvesting is more
forward, and corn is improving very
rapidly. Otherwise the condition OF
the crops in the two States is nearly
identical. About a three quarters
crop is expected. There is not an
unfavorable feature in the oat crop,
which will be enormous all over the
State.
In Wisconsin the wheat crop is
the best for many years. The har-
Vest will soon be under way all over
the State. Corn viii be about half
q crop. The oat crop will be the
heaviest in history. Rye will show
a good yield, but develops slowly,
and the same may be said ofbarley.
Northern Illinois presents no diff
ferent features from the other States.
Wheat in Dakota is magnificent
crop. Corn is developing rapidly,
though generally backward. The
oat crop is very heavy.
