Winter Wheat Thriyes.

During the past few days says a
special telegram from Toledo, Ohio,
0. A. King & Co., have received 1000
crop reports from the grain dealers OF
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana. Illinois,
Kansas and Missouri, which raise
two thirds of the winter wheat crop
OF the United States. The reports
show that present prospects are for
an average wheat crop in the states
named, Michigan reports the best
prospects, being above all average,
while Indiana and Illinois show nearly
as we'll. Ohio promises below an
average, as do Kansas and Missouri,
from which the reports are not quite
complete. Prospects are somewhat
less favorable than a year ago.
Prospects have improved in all of
the states since two weeks ago, when
the agricultural bureau report for
April was gathered. Indiana shows
the most Improvement and Missouri
the least. Over two. thirds show from
small to q decided Improvement,
owing to thefavorablew weather. There
was much smaller amount OF winter
killing than usual, nearly half report.
ing that none nad been killed.
There is about quarter of the last
wheat crop remaining in those states.
Michigan reports the largest percen.
tage, Ohio and Indiana next, wnlle Hi.
nois and Missouri have the smallest.
Farmersare not selling at present part
ly owing to the bad roads. AIarge ma
jority say they will sell next month, if
prospects for the growing crop do not
become worse, but a quarter OF the re.
ports say farmers are now disposed to
carry Their surplus over unless prices
