Minneapolis, Aug. 14.-H. V. Jones of
the Commercial West estimates the
wheat crop Of Minnesota and the two
Dakotas for 1902 at 17SS5O, 900 bushels.
AS the above table shows, Mr.. Jones
places the acreage considerably below
that of last year. Accepting his own
estimates Of that time the acreage this
year is 100000 less than last year. This
great difference is not Offset by the
gain in the average yield Of this year.
which Mr.. Jones places only SO of a
tushel In excess of last year.. The diff
ference for Minnesota, accepting Mr..
Jones' estimates for both years, is $780,
900 acres in favor of last year; that for
North Dakota is 1,250.000 against the
current year; that of South Dakota is
100000 in favor Of this year. The total
difference as against this year is thus
over million acres.
Last year the average, according to
estimates, was 1915 bushels per acre
for the three states. This year it is
1894 bushels per acre. For the states
individually this runs 1878 for Mime
eota, 1895 for North Dakota, 11.88 for
South Dakota. 1t is noteworthy that
the average as estimated for North Ea.
kota this year is SIS of bushel less
than the estimated yield of a year ago
14.5. For. Minnesota last year the aver
age was 1875. and for South Dakota it
was an even 10.
The government estimates of the
1901 crop, made after the crop was
gathered. gave the crop as nearly S0O0,-
1000 bushels in excess of the estimate of
Mr.. Jones, made just before harvest.
The governnent's figures. however, are
based upon a much lower acreage and
"a considerably higher average yield.
In acreage, Mr.. JONES' estimate of this
year is not widely different from that
of the government for year ago. be-
ling 100000 acres in excess. He places
the average yield per acre for the three
states, however, as considerably under
that Of the government estimate for
year ago, bringing the total Of this
years crop a round 100000 bushels
below that of the governments esti-
mate.

are placed for far distant delivery be-
cause early shipments are impossible.
High premiums are offered for locomo
uves, but works have their books filled
well into next year. Last weeks re-
duction in prices of sheets and wire
have not been followed by any weak
ness in other branches of the trade,
while an improved demand is reported
in the lines making concessions.
Shipments of footwear from Eastern
shops continue on a large scale, COM
pairing favorably with the movement q
year ago, which was considered eX-
ceptionally heavy. Further sales of
heavy goods for winter wear are re-
ported, and shipments of fall shoes are
steady. The amount Of business al
ready placed assures activity at the
factories for some time, and buyers
have paid higher prices for calf boots.
Most varieties of sole leather and belt
ting butts are weaker, while other d.
visions of the market are sustained by
liberal purchases, partly for export.
Hides are dull and weaker, with the
larger buyers out of the market, and
as the season advances the quality de-
teriorates. Cotton mills in New Eng
land are preparing to shut down on &C
count of the fuel shortage, and the
market for goods is strong because
supplies are already limited. Jobbing
sales are fully up to the average for
this season and collections are salts
factory, but uncertainty as to the fu-
ture, is to restrict undertakings.
Conclusion of the opening purchases of
woolens has brought a quiet market
for spring weights, and there is only a
moderate demand for heavy goods for
quick delivery. Complaints are still
heard as to the delay in movement of
sample pieces.
