Northwest territory. Reports from
along the different lines of railroads
show that it was local in it's character.
A better feeling now prevails
among the wheat raisers and
grain men, and the outlook points
to a good crop. Conservative esti-
mates made on Change placed the
wheat crop for Minnesota and Dakota
at from 10000, 900 to 100000, 600 bushels.
The grain men say now that all danger
is over, and although some parts OF the
wheat-growing country might dry out if
no more rain fell, the crisis has been
passed. Should everything prove favor
able crop of at least l00,000,000 bush
els can be safely expected. while
should unfavorabie weather set
in from now on the outlook
is good for an increase over last
year of at least 100000 or
20,00O,00O bushels in the Northwest.
While the rain has greatly benefited
crops, it has had very little effect Oh the
