London, May 1.-THE weather during the
past week has been good and the crop
prospects are bright. In the market the
demand for wheat was checked by the me
weather and less favorable foreign ad-
ues, the price of white wheat was fairly
well maintained. Red wheat is ABOUT 81
lower on the week. The buying has been

Well. but cut worms bad in sod grouni.
The Modern Miller of Saturday says:
The condition of the winter wheat crop
has declined materially during the past
seven days. Two causes have contribut-
ed about equally to the injury reported.
From Indiana west our reports show that
the worst scourge of chinch bugs in years
is upon the wheat fields OF the uplands.
Indiana Kentucky, Missouri and Kansas
send the worst reports of ravaEes by
chinch bugs, and all Of those states. in
addition to Iowa. Nebraska Indian Ter
ritOry and Oklahoma, must have rain soon
or much greater decline in the condi-
ton of the wheat crop must be expected.
Monday Is poor and the rainfall during
the week has been much lighter than
during the week previous. Including the
spring wheat area, the rainfall for the
week may be summed up about as follows:
on Monday showers fell in North Missouri
the Northern states Of the lake region,
a light fan being noted also in the lower
ohio valley. Tuesday the rainfall was
generally east of the Mississippi river
Showers fell in sections Of Missouri and
Eastern Iowa. Wednesday Nebra ska had
South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming. Colo
RADIO and Nebraska had light rains. Yes
terday the eastern half of Kansas, por-
ttonS of Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska,
South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Mich
iEan, the lower Ohio and central Mississip-
light to he of any special value to the
growing crops. 4 conservative estimate
of the condition Of the winter wheat
west Of the eastern border Of Indiana and
i'm Kentucky would be a decline of two
points since our last report
