Foley Bros. & Kelley:
Our men from all over are reporting
everything as picking up rapidly. but
that is the natural tendency of travelling
man. They want every one to think as
everything is looking the very best. Of
course, we have two Or three men who
are very conservative. and their reports
are not quite SO optimistic as the others
are. However, there is no doubt but that
things are picking up to a wonderful de-
gree, and it is doubtful if the aspect was
ever as bad at any time as it, was re-
ported to be. Thes rolling land is all
right now-it is the fat and low sections
that are suffering, for they. could not
throw off the surplus rain Nothing was
helped by the rains like the corn; but it
is always the first to respond TO any re-
storing influence. Just today we had a
letter from Tower City. N D., saying that
farmers" in that locality do not expect
more than tWo-thlrds crop of wheat
Lanpher, Skinner & CO.:
I'VE understand that in the vicinity OF
Aberdeen. S. D., the farmers expect to
get a crop of about eight bushels to the
fields are parched Beyond repair. and it
is not only the wheaa that is suffering,
but other crops Haze been damaged.
Minnesota in. general looks good and.
section through the southern part of the
state. there will hsssnothing but good
crops in the state this year.
The Sharood Shoe company:
Eve have had two. or three of our men
in quite lately FROM 5he road, and they
all seem to be elated in regard to the
outlook. One man s4specially, the one
Canada and through Montana and North
Dakota has said thafshe never saw evil
dences of a better crop in his life, and he
is man who knows sserop when he sees
Jaw to Winnipeg, irf#Ganada, and says
that he was told at that latter point that
Manitoba would have S5.0eo,oO0 bushels
of wheat this year"

crop will not exceed that of last year"

Reports from ouEapuntry correspond
ents are not quite A5 optimistic as they
were a few weeks Wgo. From several
sections we have H4eived informa ton
that the crops have Nan damaged by the
two weeks of dry. Eaather, which pre-
coded the heavy rainssW last week. while
the showers We're undoubtedly beneficial
in some localities, the rain came to late
to save the crop. While there will be no
bumper crop this year. the indica lions
are that the yield Wilt=be favorable, and
with the great shortage in the European
crop. Northwestern farmers are assured
of good prices, LII !.
