THE OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT.
Estimated Crop Ina Minnesota aud Dakota
$4,000, 900 bushels.

From reports Of thrashing I'm Southern
Minnesota IL is found the crop Is yielding
from fifteen To twenty bushels an acre I'm
portions that went from two to four bushels
more than that last year. This is particu-
larly true of the timber sections, where the
yield was very heavy In 1889. From gem
cral information II does not appear that the
average would 90 more than about thirteen
bushels TO the acre. or, in round figures,
~, 600. 900 bushels OF wheat for that State,
against 4s, ,O00. 600 bushels last year. The
yield of South Dakota. far as il is
known, Is quite satisfactory in the
southern part OF the State, while
the northern central portions do not exceed
so per cent. OF u fair yield. Taken all to-
gether the yield does not exceed ten and
one-half bushels. In North Dakota there il
some very heavy grain and some very light.
The best estimates give both Dakotas pro-
duction of about 80, 900. 600 bushels. making
for the three States Of Minnesota and North
and South Dakota %, ,O00. 900 bushels. More
extended thrashing may call for some re-
vision, but from observations up to the
present that appears 10 be what may be eN-
pected.

How the Clubs In the Different Leagues
VEGETABLES ARE DEAR.
Prices Take Flight Upward-Fruits Also
Higher.

At Chicago the prices of potatoes have
gone soaring. They are nearly expensive
enough now 10 be classcd with dessert.
Last year the price was from 25 cents. 10 2S
cents IA bushel. This year they are quoted
at los to Sl15. There's "a nice comfortable
rise in prices. A round silver dollar would
buy four bushels IA year ago This year
IL just misses buying one bushel. Apples,
which are nearly as staple an article
OF diet, have just doubled in price. They
were 81 per barrel last year. This year the
cheapest are 80 "a barrel Onions have risen
higher than apples, there are people who
could get along without onions forever, but
who would think themselves hardly dealt
with IL they got no more apples. Last year
onions were quoted az from 81 to Sl.50 per
barrel. This year they bring from
S325 TO S3.15 Cabbages in 1889 were
S2.25 per 1905 now they are from
S. To 81. Peaches have gone up 80 per cent,
blackberrics are 81 now where they were GO
cents last year, and all canned fruits are
from % To 100 per cent. higher. Turnips,
beans. butter. cheese, and dried fruits are
only little more expensive. with the eX-
ception of dried apples. which are three
times as expensive as last year They were
then cents pound; now they are 15l4
cents,

In Many Places the Crop L. a Failure
The Fruit Crop.


According 10 reports from the principal
States north OF the Ohio River. IL appears
that the potato crop this season will be al
most a. failure Averaging the probable
yield In these States. IL will be- ~ smallest
ever known i'm one season. In some parts
the failure is almost complete, In others the
yield is fair, but nowhere above the aver
age. The surplus will be small. hence
prices higher. though the unfavorable sea-
son precludes the raising OF any superior
quality. In many places there will not be
enough for home consumption. The regions
which will be able to export any part
Of their yield are neither numerous nor ex-
tensive. Wisconsin. Minnesota and the
Dakotas are the only States In the North
west where there Il any prospect of IA sur
plus of potatoes, and even there the crop Is
not large Dispatches from the East say
that apples will be scarcer and sell for
higher prices this season than for many
years. The famous Annapolis Valley OF
Nova Scotia will only produce half
a crop OF winter fruit, and the per cent
will still be lower in the apple belt of
Southern and Western Ontario and Michi-
gan. along the lakes There Is fair yield
of apples I'm Maine and limited sections OF
Vermont. Maine Is best. The outlook for
winter fruit is worse than ever before in
Southern New England and I'm New York
Pennsylvania. New Jersey, and the interior
States generally. Ii is said that the apple
belt OF Western riew York along Lakes On
tario and Erie which In good seasons ship
much more than one million barrels TO New
or foreign markets, has almost no crop
whatever this year.

The New Commander-in-C Chief of the
Grand Army.

Commander in-chicf Wheelock G.. VeaZey
OF the G.. A. Il. Such Is the way the Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner and cX-Vcr-
mont Judge can now write his name. The
election took place rather Unexpectedly at
the Boston Encsmpment. but IL passed off
without any friction. Three names were
presented TO the convention, those of Con.
N0zey, Gov. Hovcy Of Indiana, and Col.
W. II. Smedberg Of California. Warner
Miller presented the Nermonter's name to
the veterans in an earnest and elOquclt
speech. Then followed an interesting scene.
The intimate friends OF the other candi-
dates urged their claims, when one by
one the great departments came forward for
Veazey, the spirit and enthusiasm became
contagious, and the upshot was the with
drawal Of the other candidates. Col. Neazey
thus succeeds Gen. Alger as the unanimous
choice of the body. Richard +. Tobin. Of
Boston, was elected Senior Vice Commander
on the recommendation OF the Massachu-
setts delegation The principal positions
went 20 the East. in pursuance, as is
claimed by some. OF q plan TO give the en-
campment 10 the Wc5t three successive
years-DetIoit IA 1891, Topeka in 1892, and
