WHEAT-Wheat at last has commenced
to awaken to the actual condition. While
many may think this is but a natural re-
action, which may be true TO certain
extent but when we take few of the
facts in the case we find that wheat is
the cheapest commodity we have. Wheat
IS selling very near the same price II was
year ago. while corn is selling about poe
higher, and potatoes and provisions are all
higher, and our prospects OF the coming
crop is not near so favorable as they We're
then The rainfall up to the present is
far from sufficient to assure good crop.
The wells and water courses still are low
and the subSOll not wet enough to bring it
up to the conditions normal for this time

harvested last wear; not over the area
then seeded: a very considerable part Of it
has been plowed up already and much of
what is left does not promise well The
about 60001. eco bushels, against SO. 00o. 600
bushels last year And some other areas
do not make a much better showing up to
date The area being seeded to spring
wheat appears to be no larger than that
of a year ago and some think that it Will
even be less than then, because of the SUI
periOr price inducements offered for the
growing Of both corn and fax. The extra
export Of A million bushels since the close
of June last may have been correctly al
lowed for in the OFFICIAL estimates, but It IS
exceedingly improbable that the same can
be said truly for the extra feeding to do
nestle animals rendered it necessary by
the partial failure Of other crops This con-
clusiOn is indicated not only by common
sense but by the facts that our primary
receipts persistently kept fully one-quarter
less than those of a year ago. There ap-
pears to be very little wheat over home re-
Quirements left in the south west. Mills
