CROP REPORT.

The weekly Minnesota crop report issued
yesterday says:
The week has been very favorable for all
farm work. The light showers at the be-
ginning of the week and the light frosts in
the middle of the week were not sufficient
to retard work seriously, and wheat seeding
has been pushed, SO that it Is nearly finished
In the southern third of the state we'll ad-
vanced as far north as Moorhead, and about
half done in the valley. Oats and barley
seeding are going on well in the south, and
blowing for corn has begun in the same
part of the state. There was a good rain
in Houston county on the 18th and 18th
which saturated the ground but elsewhere
the surface soil Is SO dry that high winds
drift it good deal, sometimes uncovering
the seed; but the subsoil is damp enough to
terminate the seed IL it had been sowed
deep enough. The soil Is in better condition
than for years, and the preparation of the
seed bed requires much less labor than
usual. 1t is said that some of the first seed
ed wheat has rotted, and some of it has
been replanted. The acreage of wheat will
be increased, and that of barley decreased
A little gardening has been done, and in
Hennepin county potato planting has begun.
Fruits, clover, winter wheat and rye have
generally wintered well. Some cattle are
out On pasture, but the feed is still short.
Warmer weather and good rains are needed
for all sown grains and for grass, and also
for the more regular termination Of broad
casted seed,

Wheat Helped by Heavy Export
Sales and War Talk.
CHICAGO, April 19.-Foreign prices and
war theories ruled speculation on the board
of trade today Wheat was helped by heavy
export sa.es, gaining 1c for July and Ac for
May delivery. July corn advanced A@Ac,
oats 1sc. provisions 21A@71sc, the latter in
pork.
The action of congress appearing to the
traders in wheat making war with Spain
inevitable the price for July delivery opened
at an advance OF 1Ac to 1Ac over the closing
men took the same view of the situation and
sent higher quotations. The strength of this
market seemed to still further stimulate
the buyers abroad, the Liverpool market clos
ing with gains in futures of from Ssd to Nd
cargo of American wheat sold In London
today at $l.2O blu.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 1873 cars,
against Isl week ago, and 290 last year.
Chicago received 166 cars, against year
ago. The stock of contract wheat In Chicago
regular elevators was reducerd 14 900 bu last
week, and now amounts to 100000 bu. In
private warehouses the stocks of wheat of
all kinds was returned 100000 blu. Liver
pool reported large consumptive business
being done, millers having a large sale for
their -four and continental buyers outbidding
the United Kingdom for Indian wheat.
News OF this character created extremely
nervous temper in the pit July broke Hc
on realizing Immediately after the opening,
where it held for some time. A sudden bulge
to S77sc followed the announcement by Letter
that he had sold 100000 blu for export. New
York exporters followed with sales of 500, COO
Blu. July declined to S71sc on sca.pers' realiz-
ing, but rallied to close at $780, net gain
of 1c. September gained M@Ac. May was
held between $1.0714 and $l091a, closing at
$109A.
Corn ruled firm. but the advancing tendency
was checked through free selling by receivers
July opened A@ssc higher, at 321a@32Mc,
declined l to &c; recovering to s2asss321sc, a
net gain Of 1s@Ac. Oats were firm and nigh
er on export sales Of 100000, and the wet un-
favorable weather. July opened Nc higher,
at 23Ac, declined to 23Ac on Letter selling,
and recovered at 23Ac net gain of nc.
Provisions started strong on war news, but
slid off rapidly on realizing. July pork
opened 10c higher. at $40, sold at $40. 021h,
declined to $685. closing TIC higher, at
$9.97k. July lard and ribs gained 2sc, clos
ing at rs and $5.221s@5.25. respectively
