OTHER GRAIN MARKETS.

GRAIN GOSSIP-Gossip by private wire
bers of the New York stock exchange
and Chicago board of trade.-Cincinnai
wires: Got following from Athens, Ohio,
this morning: Farmers coming in here
say that wheat which looked so well and
promised full crop two weeks ago has
gone back in the last few days, and much
will not pay for cutting. Kansas CITY
wires: Oklahoma beginning to complain
of rust, and no wonder; eighteen inches
of rain in Central Kansas. Prime says:
corn for feeding purposes is getting quite
scarce in Kansas. Feeders getting most
of their corn through Kansas City and
Iowa. In fact, Iowa is being pulled from
all Sides for corn. Reports of corn from
Eastern Nebraska show that the farmers
are carrying about the average amount
as compared with former years.

WINTER WHEAT PROSPECTS-Chi-
cago, May 23.-The Farmers Review to-
| morrow will publish a. review of winter
ton received from over 800 correspond
ents In Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri,
Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Mich
igan, Ohio and Kentucky. The reports
in the main show the winter wheat to be
in rather poor condition. Especially is
this true of the western edge of the
winter wheat belt. In Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas, Illinois and Wisconsin,, where
the snow covering during last winter was
very deficient, much Of the rather limited
area of winter wheat sown was win er
killed. The fields that survived the win
ter however, are showing up we'll. In
the more Southern states, including MS
souri,, Kentucky and Ohio, the prospects
are more encouraging. In Missouri the
condition is described as good in the CEN
trail and southern portions of the state,
but poor in the north. Ohio makes the
most favorable showing of all, three
f1fths of the correspondents reporting the
condition as good to very good and a ma
jority of the rest as fair.
