A DOLLAR AND A HALF FOR WHEAT.
Chicago Spectator Thinks 1t Will
Reach That Figure.

Says President Baker, Of the Chicago
Board of Trade:
..It is my belief that wheat will go UP to
81 So But that will not come all at once.
Wheat is scarce. l think it's a safe thing
to say that there will be 2O,O0OroO0 bushels
less this year than last"
The farmer in this case will be somewhat
in the position of the protected manufac-
turer. He can dictate his own prices.
There is no wheat for export in this CROP
The home market will use it. all up. Here
tofore there has been "a surplus OF wheat
and it was the surplus that made the prices
here Mr.. Durham saw it when he said
that the farmer when he raised so much

The remarkable stringency Of money, the

suits, alarming reports as to the expected
big railroad strikes, and the extreme unceF-
tainty as to what was going to happen

Probable Crop of Wheat in Minnesota and

Probable Crop of Wheat in Minnesota and
the Dakotas.
Reports from along the lines of railway in
Minnesota and Dakota from the Northwest
ern Road north: Wheat will yield better
than last year. West from Waterfowl and
west from Iroquois and through the James
River Valley generally the wheat will not
be as good as it was last year, but the acre
age is increased; and while the wheat is
considerably lighter it will make strong flour.
In the extreme north the yield will be as good
as last year, with increased acreage. In
Southern Minnesota, Dakota, and Northern
Iowa the yield will not be as great as last
year, and the quality will not be as good.
The probable yield of Minnesota and the
two Dakotas will be over 500, 900, 0o0 bushels.

The weekly review of the crop prospects

as follows:
The week has been unusually cool
throughout the central valleys, the North
west, and the lake region, the mean daily
temperature in the Northwest changing
from degrees to II degrees below the nor
NAL for the week, while it was from
degrees to degrees cooler than usual in the
lake region and Central Mississippi Valley.
The temperature fell to freezing point in
the extreme northern portions of Minnesota
and Dakota, and light frosts occurred in
Southern Dakota, Michigan, and Northern
Wisconsin. There has been more than the
usual amount of rain throughout the North
ern States east of the Mississippi and in
Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Virginia and the east portions Of
North Carolina and South Carolina. The
rainfall for the season continues in excess
generally over the lake region, the Ohio and
Central Mississippi Valleys, in the Middle
Atlantic States, and Northern New England.
Less than so per cent of the normal rain
fall has occurred in Kansas, and less than
rs per cent. is reported from Northern Mis-
souri,, Southwestern Iowa, Southern Dakota,
and on the east Gulf coast. The recent
rains have greatly improved the condition
of crops throughout the corn belt. extend
ing from Ohio westward to Kansas and Ne

corn and potatoes are much improved, and
