FOR STAFF OF LIFE,
NORTHWEST TO YIELD AN I'M
MENSE WHEAT CROP.
BREAKS ALL PAST RECORDS.
Chicago Record Gives as Reasons AL
legged Colonizing by the Gran
ger Lines.

Chicago. June 27-After making a
careful canvass of the Northwest ter
ritory an6 preparing conservative esti-
mates upon the conditions found
throughout the grain belt, the traffic
officials Of the st. Paul, Northwestern,
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
Burlington systems are agreed that the
wheat crop of this region for 1901 will
break all previous records.
According to the estimates of these
officials, it Is claimed that the two
Dakotas and Minnesota alone will har-
vest between 1S5, 100000 and 200, 900, 900
bushels of wheat, against 100, 1000, 900
bushels last year. The greatest prev
ious yield of wheat in three states
named was in 1898 when 175, 100000
bushels were harvested.
The Record-Herald, in explanation
of the enormous crop. says:
"The crop cannot be termed a
bumper crop as the enormous in
crease is due largely to the fact that
the various railroad companies have
within the last two years made ex-
IRENE efforts towards the colonizing of
the Northwest territory, and as re-
suit extensive additions have been
made to the total cultivated lands and
grain acreage"

EVERY PROSPECT PLEASES
Crop Conditions Throughout the
Country Generally Reported
As Excellent.

Washington, June 27.-The tempera-
ture conditions Of the week ended June
25 were highly favorable in nearly all
parts of the country, especially in the
Rocky mountain region and on the Pa
cific coast, where the previous week
was abnormally cool.
Further and general Improvement in
the condition of corn is indicated. In
Nebraska, the Dakotas and portions of
Iowa the crop is in need of cultiva-
ton, but it generally clean in the last
named state.
Winter wheat harvest has advanced
under favorable conditions during the
week, and is now in progress in the
northern portion of the central and
western districts of the winter wheat
belt, with generally satisfactory re-
suits. In Michigan and portions of
Pennsylvania and New York fly has
caused deterioration, and increased re-
ports of rust are received from Ohio
and Virginia. In the Carolinas grain
in shock has suffered some injury from
moisture. In California harvest is pro-
crossing in all sections. In Oregon and
Washington the prospects continue IA
vorable and wheat is ripening in the
first named state.
In the Ohio valley and Middle At
lantic states the oat crop has made
favorable progress, and is generally i'm
proved in the states of the upper Mis-
souri, valleys.

FOREIGN TRADE OF NATION.
Years Business Will Show Large
Balance in Favor of United
States.

Washington, June 2S.-The fiscal
year of the government ends June 80
The forthcoming showing of the for
eign trade of the United States will
make wonderfully interesting docu-
ment. as it unquestionably places the
United States in the front rank of bus
mess prosperity.
The returns so far at hand warrant
estimates that will bring the total for
eign trade to $4,000 900 900. OF this sum
1880, 100000 represents the exports.
$9O0,0O0,000 the imports, and the bal
aace in favor of the United States is
$500, 900. The value of the manu-
featured product exported was $500
100000.
This is matter of especial interest
to the governments across the Atlantic,
and one that will stimulate their efforts
to retain more of their business. The
payment will have to be made to this
nation largely in gold. as the holdings
OF American securities abroad are not
heavy.
