The Wheat ('rON.

According to the latest government
estimate of the wheat crop Of the pre-
ent year, an Improved market might be
looked for. even in the face of the large
crops reported in Russia and India. But
men who put out THEN money for wheat
place very little reliance upon these gov
ernment reports. Anybody who has a
personal knowledge Of tfe manner IN
which the reports arc secured knows very
vel! that, whereas they may be sufii
ciently accurate for use in theoriziug
about the coming price of grain, they
come very far short OF the degree of ac
curacy needed when man is to buy for
storage.
There is nm impression that prevails
quite generally among dealers in grain
that the government estimate this year
is fully as far below the actual amount
OF the yield as they have certainly been
for several years past. Throughout Mis-
souri,. at any rate, the yield has been un-
usually large. with better quality than
for many years past. In some parts Of
Kansas the same is true, though as a
whole the Kansas crop is we'll known to
be below the average. The harvest in
the Northwest. where the large bulk of
the wheat is raised, has not progressed
far enough as yet to warrant more than
a guess as to what the crop will he. In
some places it will bs very large, while
IN others it will be small. The difficulty
will be in arriving at an average.

A Big Frutt Show.

AS our readers know the last legislH-
ture OF cur state, by special act. ordered
that all exhibits at the Worlds Fair
should. at the close OF the fair. ba turn
ed over to the St. Louis exposition man
agemen. for two years The State Hor
tlcuitural society having prepared the
fruit for the Worlds FAIR, have decided
to take charge Of the matter and make
fine display at the st. Louis exposition
this fall. All the fruit iD jars Will be
gone over and such as are in good con
d,tion will be retained and the other re-
placed. go that a tine showing nf the
fruits that wers on exhibition at Chlca
go can be made.
Besides this permanent display, it has
been thought best TO make display Of
fresh fruits also during the exposition.
This fresh fruit exhibit will be made
and placed by the society in such man
ner that every county that sends 10
collection will have it so shown that the
county will get the benefit Of it. Ali
fruits from any county will be placed
together and a sign placed over it show
ing where it is from.
Arrangements have been made in St
Louis su that fruits as they ripen can be
put in cold stora ge there. Shipping tags
will be furnished to all who apply for
them. Packages should be direct ed to

age. The express on fruits, cost Of cold
storage and all expeuse OF arranging and
caring for the exhibits will be PAID by
the exposition. This furnishes an ex
cellent opportunity FOR individual fruit
growers. counties and the state TO do
some good advertising, and We believe
our frui, growers will embrace the op
pUrtuuity.

This shows that bank stocks are valu
Ell in different counties at from 40 to
1i0 Per cent. of their values The great
bulk of the bank stocks are represented
by 81. Louis. Kansas City and ST. Jo-
seph banks, and these are assessed at
80 To 81 per cent. II is safe to say that
the assessed valuations Of the bank
stocks OF the state will not average
above 81 to CD per cent. OF their par
""iues. This low average is due to the
fact that the large acgresations Of bank
capital 10 the three Leading cities are
assessed at halt or less Of their full
value The Inequality in different
c,unties is Yer striking. 1t is certainly
abont time the authoritles are trying 10
secure greater uniformity and equality.
