Duluth, Sept. 1.-Secretary Wyman,
Of the board of trade, does not believe
that there is much smut In the wheat
raised in the Northwest this year, and
Is inclined to belittle the fears OF some
IF the grain men and the elevator men
as to a large portion OF the crop being
smutty. He believes that most of the
crop will grade No. l hard and No. L
Northern. Last year the wheat COM
ing here graded about 20 per cent No.
| hard. which is above contract, and
from Is to 20 per cent graded Nc. l
Northern, which is contract. This year
the wheat so far inspected has graded
about So per cent contract, II the
crop is going to grade about 10 to ~
per cent No. 1 hard and 20 per cent No.
| Northern. He does not believe the
smut is going to effect the price OF
contract wheat a particle, but there
are others In the grain trade who hold
a contrary opinion. They believe thai
there is considerable smut in the
wheat and that 1t will seriously effect
the grades and the prices.
The crop year, which ceases to-day.
is the largest in Duluth's history.
Tbe wheat received aggregates 3d.
6S7 1881 bushels. or 97G.l29 bushels
more than for the previous year. The
shipments are much less than during
the previous crop year, being but a.
j6S. $40 bushels. This is accounted
for by the increased consumption OF
the head Of the lake mills. A feature
of the year has been the high quality
Of the wheat. SiXty-tive per cent or
the total amount graded No. ! hard,
and 81 per cent graded No. l Northern,
,eaving but s per cent for low grade.
The crop was the best since the splen-
lid one Of 1883. Oats foot up a total
4 1.115.S15 bushels received and l.
D19.SSS bushels shipped. Barley re-
ceived amounted to 2.173.SIo bushels,
and the shipments aggregated Dbl
2SS bushels. But 1886 bushels of
rye were received and T0,322 bushels
shipped. Flax shows a decided In
crease over last year. aggregating 3d.
POS bushels received and GST 1913 bush
els shipped. The elevators will start
on the new crop year with about
1850 900 bushels in store. The r
year just closed started in with 1000
100 bushels in the elevators. The local
-four production for the crop year
amounts to 3.32S.543 barrels. The re-
ceipts aggregate 4,371,431 and the
shipments 7.63S.0S2. The new crop.
which is coming in very freely, will
not grade as high as the n for the
year just closed. The conditions are
practically reversed, for II Is not be-
lieved that No. l hard will amount TO
owe % or p per cent of the crop.
while No. l Northern will reach the
position held by No. l hard during the
past year. The percentage Of low
grade wheat will not exceed that of
the last crop. however.
