The best feature OF the situation Is the
favorable reports from the growing crops.
The August report Of the U. 5. Agricultural
department shows gain Of nearly Il points
over the previous month for spring wheat
nearly points for oats and loss OF points
for corn. The estimated crop on these
figures foot up 533.OO0,OOO bushels wheat
against 800, 262 900 busnel last year and 49O-
SEQ 900 bushels In 1889. OF corn the estimate
is 2,0lS ,OOO,O 900 bushel, against l,4S9,97O,0oO
bushel last year and 2.ll2, 500, 900 in 1880,
which year was the banner one for this
cereal. The estimate OF oats is 100000
bushels, against 593, G2l 100 bushels last year,
and 7jl sis, 900 bushels In 1889. 1t is estimated
that the spring wheat crop will show gain
ofover 10000 900 bushels over 1889 and over
los, 100000 bushels in excess Of last year,
while the winter wheat crop will exceed that
of 1889 by over 81 O00,0O bushels, and that
of last year by 100000 bushels. These
favorable prospects tend TO help general
lines of merchandise, but operations are still
