Generous rains and cool nights: no heating
storms nor blasting WINDS nor hot scorching
suns after deluging showers, the weather has
continued to be the very perfection of wheat
producing weather. And from all sides reports
come in speaking of the fine prospects of mag
niiicent harvest. Up to this time not even the
slightest rumor has been foated Of
rust or smut or drouth or flooding
out, and the wheat crop has advanced
spendidly till the most critical period in its
growth has arrived. 1t is now just where any
kind of weather in excess may do ncalculable
harm-too much rain; too much sunshine; lit
tie rain followed by hot nights and scorching
days; heavy hail storm, sweeping winds-it is
to be hoped that each and all of these may be
spared US for few weeks longer and then it is
thought Minnesota will be blessed with one of
the most abundant harvests on record
1t Is scarcely any wonder that
in the face of this that
millers are not buying any wheat and spectators
do not want any. The association at Minnea-
polls have all the wheat they need for present
purposes and they do not feel like buying for the
future with the present bright prospects for the
rapidly approaching harvest. The elevators re-
ceived here 25,420 bushels last week on account
Of the ST. Paul Roller mill and 1891 bushels
were shipped also to the mills. The stocks of
grain in the elevators yesterday were:
Wheat. ............... 153 953 bushels
oats --.-.'...... Ia, 49, bushels
Conn.,. s.................... 2,335 bushels
Barley. Observation-Disclosures. nil
The receipts from farmers wagons have been
light, there not being than :, 300 bushels de-
livered at the mills. Prices on the street are re
for No and SIC for No. /. The mills here have
been paying at country points 62@75c. AlIusion
was made last week at consid-
cradle length TO the extreme duliness
of the eastern and European markets especially
in -four and the week just past has not improved
them one iota The English market has been
dull and lower. Sales of English wheat were
but 26,607 quarters for the whole week or 212 856
bushels and the price 36s Cd per quarter or Is
7lsd per bushel; or 81 .1014 per bushel This is
the price given for native wheat and foreign is
cheaper. There has been little or nos de.
mand for American wheat or
-four and the sales effected have
been at lower figures. Taking everything into
consideration there does not seem to be very
bright prospects for those who have been holding
on to their crops ever since wheat was at 81 TO-,
with the hope of much higher prices To make
matters still more gloomy for those who have
missed their golden opportunity the new crop has
begun to pour into St. h Louis market a and is
eastern sea board There has
been but little doing in corn during the week, 1
car only having been shipped in and 2,400 BUSH
els still remaining in elevators. There has been
but little demand for and prices were a
shade lower. Oats have been in moderate de-
! mand; 5000 bushels was the amount of receipts
935 Of which went into elevator and the rest with
5,3i5 bushels taken out of elevators went to the
consumer, the. prices were 2sc for mixed and 30c
for white. Street receipts were very
/ light and prices paid 30c a. ace
