Wheat Distribution.

Washington, March 1.-THE statistical
returns of the department of agriculture
for March indicate that a considerable
proportion of the wheat now in farmers
hands comes from crops prior to 1898,
and especially from the crops of 1S91-92.
Such stocks have been held principally
by large growers. Some damage to such
stores is reported from Michigan and
Washington. The indicated stock of
wheat in the farmers hands is 114,OOO,-
600 bushels, or 2S.S per cent of the vol
ume of the crop of 1898. This is nearly
2l,0OO,0O0 bushels less than the estimate
for March i last year, and nearly 90
100000 less than the average of the past
eight years. The amount remaining in
frmers' hands in the eleven principal
wheat growing states is about 10000
600 bushels.
