age condition of winter wheat on April
to have been S2.1, against 77.9 on April /,
1889; S67 on April l, 1898, and a ten-year
average of SIS. While the ravages of the
Hessian fly in Ohio, Michigan and lndi-
ana will probably result in not one of
these three states producing more than
half crop, an exceptionally high condi-
ton is reported from the winter wheat
states west of the Mississippi river, and
from the Pacific coast The principal av-
erages are as follows
Pennsylvania, q; Ohio, AZ; Michigan,

The average condition. of winter rye Is
S4.S, against S49 on April !, 1899; 92.1 on
April /, 1885, and a ten-year average OF
S9.1.
The percentage of mortality among
farm animals during the year ending
March 81, 1900, was not only below that
of last year, but was also below the ten
and tifteen-year averages. OF horses l.S

Officials of the Chicago-St Paul lines
left for Chicago last night to attend a
meeting of passenger men and executives
there today. The matters to come up are
those held over since previous meet
ing, in connection with 500 competition
east-bound st. Paul officials have been
notified that the proposition to be sub
mltted at the meeting Is to reduce the
east-bound rates to a basis upon which
500 competition can be successfully met.
This has practically been decided upon
and means a. S24 rate to Boston and $23
to New York. The principal question, to
pro rate having been agreed upon, is to
determine the division of the through
rates.
The action contemplated will remove
the competition OF the rates over the
Northern route and will throw an i'm
mense amount OF business back into the
proper channels. The action has been
agreed upon, for the reason that, by
common consent, all lines have previous
ly been at liberty to meet west-bound
competition without official action in each
case.
