it was said that it would net the state

the receipts from the operations of the

ILLINOIS WHEAT KILLED.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, April 14.-Specal re-
ports received at the Office of the Illinois de-
partment of agriculture, under the date Of
April 10, in regard to winter wheat, are even
more discouraging than on March 10. Reports
from nearly half of the counties in the state
including almost all of the winter wheat
growing counties, are to the effect that two
thirds Of the wheat seeded last fall, TAG, 900
acres-was, wLinter-killed or destroyed by
floods and the condition of the remaining
third is so poor that under the most favor
able conditions from now until harvest only
about one-third of an average crop may be
expected. The outlook is that but little more
than enough wheat for seed will be harvested
in Illinois this season.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 14.-Wheat opened
barely steady this morning and ruled weak
and inactive during the greater part OF
the morning session. The news of the day
was rather meager, but what there was of it
may be termed bullish in tone from the open
ing to the close. The news, however had but
little effect on the market because of a total
lack Of speculative interest. The cash de-
mand was reported good at nearly all wheat
centers. New York reported that foreigners
were bidding more freely than for some time
past and that fully $50 600 bu had been taken
fer May June and September shipment. Chi
cago advised OF 100000 bu taken by millers and
Duluth reported 100000 blu taken late yester-
day by shippers and more being worked today.
New York advised Of $4,000 bu taken for
direct shipment to Germany. which is rather
unusual. Advices received regarding the
seeding Of spring grain are somewhat con-

1t Is probably true that seeding will be dan
