CHICAGO, July 27.--A special dispatch from
Cedar Rapids Iowa, says: Reports from fifty
stations along the lines oil the burlington, Cedar
rapids and Northern road show that most of
the small grain has been harvested with better
results than had been anticipated. Wheat is
better in quality than IL has been before for ten
years, and the yield is equal to last years
crop. Hay in many places is burned, but in
others is of superior quality, but only about SO
per cent of last years yield. Oats yield well
and none is poorer than best grade No. 2. Bar
ley aud rye are also good, but flax is not more
than three-qnarters OF crop. No rain has
fallen in many places for eleven weeks but a
the corn much good. Corn has stood the drought
remarkably well, but this week will spoil pros
poets of good crop unless We have a good
