GRAIN GOSSIP-Gossip by private wire
to G. H. F. Smith & Co., st. Paul, mem
bers of the New York stock exchange
and Chicago board of trade.-The market
Lane Express says: The crops of Eng
land and France have improved The
French crop is heading under thoroughly
satisfactory conditions, and promises 320,-
coo, 0G0 bu compared with 10000, 900 bu in
1898. Central Europe promises full aver
age. On the other hand an unbroken
story of crop deterioration comes from
Roumania Russia, East Poland and East
Baltis. The Express urges English wheat
holders to hold their grain and to defeat
the effort OF Americans to bear the mar
ket." Worlds visible supply of wheat to-
day will show a very little change, prob
ably a small decrease. There will be a
great disparity between today's figures
and last year, for last years worlds Wis
ible showed a decrease of 10.556.00O bu.
Prime says: "a large number of ELEVATORS
in Eastern Kansas make this showing.
Late wheat now being cut. Quality prom
ises to be good No surplus to go out.
Oats doing well and heading out. North
ern Ohio says that harvest has Just COM
menced. The crop has ripened up recent
ly very fast. Look for a full average crop
in this vicinity. Oats are doing nicely,
but corn is very backward. Corn reports
from Southeastern Nebraska show that
in many areas corn is too large to Gull
tivate. The last twelve days could not
have been better for corn growth, with
favorable weather the Fourth of July will
give Nebraska as good prospects for a
many seasons. Southwestern and South
Illinois says three days more will finish
the late harvest. The heavy oats have
more or less lodged"
