OTHER GRAIN MARKETS.

GRAIN GOSSIPP-Gossip by private
wire wire to H. e. F. F Smith = Co, St: Paul,
change and Chicago board of trade
Prime says: The state of Washington
reports that they have been suffering the
last few days with hot winds. Wheat
being in various stages, from heading
out to hardening, these unfaV orable con-
d1tions have blighted to a certain extent
the prospects and lowered the quality of
the wheat. Oats reports from Neb caska,
Iowa and Illinois would indicate that the
stock of old oats has been reduced to a
much lower point than usual and that
the new crop is coming on the market
with no embarrassment a to reserves of
old oats. From large corn and oats areas
in Central Illinois show corn just begin
nlng 10 ear out, with prospects much
better than year ago at this date. Re-
serves of old corn very low; in fact co n
at the railroad stations is we'll cleaned
up. Corn reports from the Illinois Cen
trail in Illinois makes this showing: Gsn-
eral conditions of the crop better than
last year and promises more per acre
than in 1898. Old corn at the stations is
being largely shelled out the presan
week. .'-Folowing message from North
Dakota: Last forty-eight hours it has
calities in parts of Sphinx, Kingsburg and
of Beaded counties, il South Dakota 1t
was injured before and the last two days
nave further injured that section; very
slight damage everywhere. 1t is warm,
with hot winds today and no damage be-
ing done here, the prospects are for a.
big crop now, but it is a critical time IS
wheat is now in the milk stage Mel.
q w: have from their travelling expert
the following: Minnesota AID North
Dakota report good averages, but Sou h
Dakota is generally unfavorSble from
heat and dry weather. In SCme counties
in South Dakota the wheat has deterio-
rated 10 points and there was pres
pect ten days ago of a good acreage. TIE
present indicates only three-fourths of an
average yield.
