The crop reports to the agricultural
department point to a reduction OF l0o,-

planted last year, with q lowered condi-
ton as compared with July q year agO,
and as a result the statistieiana are

crop, as a whole. total OF 704. $50. 600
bushels is figured out also. an estimate
which may have 70 be revised In the
direction OF a reduction. The wheat
remaining in farmers hands Is esti-
mated at 81, OO0. 900 bushels. which Ia
less by 20.000. 900 bushels than on July
