The monthly report of the condition OF the
wheat crop sent out by the Government on the
10th of each month was published on Tues
day. 1t is more favorable than was expected
and puts the acreage at 81 per cent. as COM
pared with last year, and the condition at IS
per cent. decline of per cent. since May
1st. The acreage for Virginia is put at 81 per
cent. This report had a depressing effect on
prices, and caused decline in Baltimore OF
Co. per bushel on future delivery.
The local markets continue dull and with
out any interest whatever There is really
no grain offering and very little to be offered
until after harvest.
Glover hay is being cut, and wheat is ripen-
ing rapidly and nicely.
The Philadelphia Record of Saturday has
the following in its review OF the grain mar
kets: "Wheat prices have been alternately
''bulled' by bad crop reports from winter
wheat sections, and depressed by, speculative
realizations and better crop advices from the
spring wheat districts; but the net result of the
weeks fluctuations is an unchanged Market
In Chicago and "a of a cent advance in New
York. Most of these crop reports were as UNI
reliable as they were conflicting and if all
the statements OF damage had been entitled to
credit they would have indicated a probable
wheat famine during the next crop year. But
neither the professional spectators nor the
public place much dependence on the sort of
information that has been circulated of late
to meet the exigencies of the speculative mar
kets. Investigation by the Cincinnati Price
Current has disclosed less favorable crop
conditions in Indiana and Illinois, which
have been largely if not fully balanced by
the more encouraging outlook in Ohio and
Michigan. This indicates that the general
average for winter wheat has not materially
declined since last month; and it is generally
conceded that the prospects for spring wheat
have considerably improved Corn prices
average about a of cent per bushel higher
than they were week ago, as result of spec
ulative buying and continued liberal exports;
but there has been comparatively little new
business on foreign orders, as prices are now
above the views of exporters. The interior
movement of corn has been large, and there
have been continued large shipments via the
water routes to New York. The corn crop
has been favored by warmer weather. and the
outlook has slightly improved.
