Figures Don't Lie.

MINNEAPoLIs, MIMI, April 25.-The re-
oort of Secretary Sturteyant. Of the Chamber
If Commerce, shows that the receipts of
wheat at Minneapolis during the year 1888
were 1000, 900 bushels more than the re-
ceipts at Chicago. This statement seems
almost Incredible, but the figures show it
The receipts at Chicago were 20,35l 00o
bushels, and at Minneapolis 22.273,O 900.
This will give some idea of what Minneapo
lis is likely to become as great grain mar
ket. The business on Change is increasing
it will be greater than that of the Milwaukee
Board of Trade, and crowding upon the
heels of Chicago in three years.

represented by fine samples Of oats,

The year lss2 presents wheat oats and
corn; the year 1853 shows gratifying
progress and comes under the wire
with wheat, oats, millet, rye, flax and
barley bald and bearded, equal In
quality to that shipped in vast quanti-
ties from Utah to Chicago and corn Of
the dent, flint, squaw and

last Isaac Crabtree brought in
samples of the oat and wheat crop
of 1854, of which Mr.. e. Z. Leaning.
practical farmer of northern Indiana,
spoke in terms of great commenda-
ton. Mr.. Leaning has been travel

of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota
since May: he was in southern Dakota
when harvesting began and examined
the wheat heads in many different
localities; he says the kernels ran from
Is to ~ per head, and sets the average
yield of south Dakota at shade better
than fifteen bushels per acre: examin.
ing the wheat brought in by the Crab

40 kernels TO the head. which would
