GOV'TREPORTU UNRELIABLE
so THINKS THE PRICE CURRENT
Says Wheat Estimate Not Entitled to
Acceptance.

The Cincinnati Price Current says Of the re-
cent government report:
The department Of agriculture report of
grain held by farmers on March l is lncom-
plete, in that it states percentages without
quantitative estimates. For corn the estimate
is 20 per cent Of the crop, implying about $780,
00O, 900 bushels, on the unreyised data Of the
department as to production It is fair to say
that the department has not got reputation
for underestimate, and this exhibit OF sup
plies of corn is not so low as some private OBJ
servers have been counting 1t. 1t makes IL
manifest that notwithstanding the severity OF
the winter there have been such economies
and carefulness in feeding operations that
high prices for grain have had an influence in
lengthening the supplies. The previous low
position OF farmers holdings OF corn OIL
March l was in 1895. when the estimate was
475, 900, 900 bushels, following the small har-
vest of 1894 The Chicago range of prices of
cash corn in 1895 for six months subsequen.
to March l were as follows: March 42A @46c.
April 451s@4SAc. May 47&@551ac. June 1880
53hc, July 41A@471ac, August 41A@471ac.
Subsequently prices tended downward. 1t. Is
presumable that future weather conditions
will largely govern the course of prices OF
corn. If the weather result favorably for the
large oats crop expected to be sown, and for
spring pasture, easier prices for corn may
develop.
For wheat the percentage estimate is %, as
| representing holdings of farmers on March J.
| This is not entitled to acceptance. The de-
| partment's data have suggested $50. 200, OOt
bushels as the crop of 1901 implying '156, 000,-
| 900 bushels as farmers stocks, compared with
| 12S, 0O0, 900 year ago-or 2S,o0O,00o larger
| stocks than last year. The Price Current
in its issue of Feb. y suggested $780, 1000, 0ot
| bushels as an approximation for farmers
| stocks of wheat for March 1, arrived at In the
| manner explained. The Chicago Trade Bull
| letin has presented an estimate of 1S600O.'
| bushels the past week. These two estimates
| are quite in line, and probably not greatly
| at variance with actual conditions, and not
| likely to prove excessive, in the light Of sub
seouent evidences. -..t r. .@. -..s,- 55.ts-.s
