continue firm with a moderate jobbing trade. The
May Agricultural report confirms the previous adj
vices about the poor condition of the winter wheat
crop. The deficiency will be even greater than was
previously estimated. Prime reports the shortage
a. hundred millions, if not over, and adds that
from $4,000 acres in central and southern III
nissan area which generally produces from oooo'-
600 to 5000 oOC bushels-that the indications are
of total failure to get enough for bread ana seeo

wheat belt average condition Of 81 per cent, as
compared with SO per cent at the same date in
1884, Corn. Meal, Sacked Bran and Mddlings are
easier and cur quotations indicate slight
decline from prices noted last week. Provisions
have not changed materially, but jobbers ie'
