Together with tested cable.

But authors jealous OF their fame

WHEAT.
The Crop Of 's5 Falls Under the
Short Drop of 1881.

CHICAGO, Ill May Sl,--Carefully
collected crop reports indicate that the
outlook for the winter sown wheat this
year ia the worst In ten years
and Il may be now set down rs posi-
tive that under the most favorable con-
ditions the total winter and spring
wheat yield ia to fall considerably UNI
der the short crop OF 1881, when the
total product was $50 001 600 bushels.
From close compilation and talk
ing the most cheerful view OF the sit
uation, the winter wheat yield for the
present year will not exceed 100000
600 bushels and the absolute percent
ages from the most Trustworthy source
indicate that the yield will fall some
what under than over the figures
given.
Turning TO the spring wheat belt the
outlook Is altogether more promising,
Though the season Ia from ten to
twelve days later, the probable spring
wheat yield, based upon continuing
favorable weather, will be 10000, 900
| bushels.
The total wheat crop OF the country,
therefore, from the present OUT
look will be from 800, 1000, 600 to
$3.50, 000, 600 bushels against AN average
yield for the last Ave years Of $4,000,
