GOOD WHEAT CROP


reports From Nearly 1000 Grain
Dealers ia Winter Wheat Dis.
tricts
TOLEDO, O., June 3o.-Darine ths
past four days @. A. King & Co. havs
received replies from $3.50 reIiabIa
grain dealers. They cover almost every
important point in the wheat statas
which generally produce about TWO.
thirds OF the winter wheat oron. and
nearly half of the total wheat crop OF
the United States. Two hundred and
forty reports cover 257 of the larger
Wheat-producing counties, while 1,S1s
are from the less important
Inc outlook now is for a yield above
an average.
Ohio has the best and almost an ex-
! ceiient prospect. Out of 72O replies
from there, only ~ report the outlook
Tar below an average. Indiana prom.
lses nearly as well. Illinois. Michigan
and Missouri each have a good prospect.
reports from Kansas are very irreg-
uiar. and the crop there will be below
an average. Some say the prospect in
the best In years, while others say 1t Is
total failure. Out of 127 which saw tn
outlook Is for only half crop or less, 100
are from Kansas. Of the total reports
95S say the prospect is excellent; 1856,
goodi $50 an average crop; 1S6 trifie
below and 100 poor crop. Each Of the
six states promised better than year
ago. Illinois and Kansas have an in
creased acreage, and will have materially
more than the short crop of last year.
Missouri has recently shown an im-
proVement and but. for the smaller
acreage would have as good crop as IN
1892 Only 4S6 reports say the prospects
are any worse than a year ago; 1859
say 1t Is about the same; 1895 trifis
DETER, and $50 much better than a year
ago.
Quality will be excellent If the crop ID
secured as 1t now looks. All of the
states say that it promises to be bettee
than year ago except Michigan, where
many say 1t is TOO early to Judge. ILL
nols, Missouri and Kansas had only an
average quality last year. Missouri
shows the greatest Improvement OF
the total reports only Is say the quality
Will be much worse than year ago; 1875
say trifle worse; LBS about the samsj
1850 trife better, and 76S much bet
ter,
New wheat will not commence to
move much earlier than last year. One
hundred and four say the last of June,
but most Of these come from Southern
Kansas and Missouri. Five hundred
and thirty-eight say the first week Of
July, 1,429 the second week, 9lS the
third week, 355 the last week, and 474
in August. Receipts of new wheat
here before the middle Of July will be
small.
Fully as many farmers are disposed
to sell freely early as a year ago; 1,4S4
say they will sell freely; 400 say they
are compelled to sell; us say about half
will sell, while $50 say they will not sell
at present prices There is more dis
position to sell In Illinois. Indiana and
Missouri than in Kansas or Ohio. There
Is somewhat less old wheat left in the
interior than year ago. Only 2S2 rec
port trlfie more, and 9S of these are in
Ohio; l,034 say there is about the SAND
amount as year ago; S27 say an eighth
less now; 427 quarter less; $50 third
less; 6l5 a half less, and 572 none left
CloyerSeed now promises TO be about
an average crop. Last year 1t was
larger one, especially in Ohio. A quar-
ter of the reports say it is too early to
judge, as much depends upon the
weather in the uear future. Some was
WinteT-killed, and there is an occasional
complaint of damage from insects.
