Wheat Estimates.

Fl. V. Jones, of Minneapolis, who is
an acknowledged authority upon crop
reports, makes the following esti-
mates:
The wheat production of Minnesota
and the two Dakotas for 1908 is 2s,-
900 bushels less than in 1902. This
reduction is in part due to a decrease
OF acreage and in part to decrease
of average yield. The acreage decrease
is about 100000, which, on the basis
of the computed average yield this
year, is equal to 100000 bushels;
the decrease in average Of yield is
equivalent to 1876 bushels an acre, or
about 100000 bushels, total OF
2s,OOO,000 bushels.
The amount of old wheat carried
over to the new crop is estimated at
100000 less than for the previous
year, or 100000, thus reducing the
available northwest supply to 30,O0O,-
900 less than last year.
The feature of interest in the north
west crop this year is the loss OF
wheat acreage. The total is comput-
ed here at 100000 acres less than last
year. The difficulty of arriving at.
satisfactory conclusion on this point
is admitted, but these figures are be-
lieved to be conservative and safe. The
reduction of 100000 acres last year
is fully sustained by the distribution.
The area, condition, average yield
and total yields promised are as fol-
lows:

Position of the United States.

Washington. April $40 response has
come TO the state department as yet
from either Ambassador Mccormick at
ST Petersburg or Minister Conger at
Pekin to the inquiries respecting Russia
demands in Connection with MaLchuria.
The officials are in a condition OF sus-
pense and uncertainty in consequence
Of the conflict in the semi-oficiai dis
patches from the Russian and Chinese
CAPITALS. In the absence of official state
ments Of Russia's purposes, the opinion
prevails here that these Russian de-
nlands were really put out in tentative
form last week ana not in regular official
shape. There is good reason to believe
that the Chinese government !tseit let
the demands leak out in order to Sc
cure the support Of the powers IN its
refusal of the Russian tenders. Noting
the intense public excitement over the
proposition. the Russian government, 1t
is surmised, took steps through the state
ment issued in St Petersburg yesterday
to abandon several Of the original de-
mands 1t is not doubted that such re-
duction Of the maximum demands was
fully within contemplation when the
tentative statement was thrown out,
If this assumption general in official
circles here is well founded. then Russia

summation of the United states trade

not so regarded here. for it amounts to
an indefinite continuance under Russian
direction of present conditions in China,
which will stop all reform movements.

Anxiety Is Removed.

Washington, April 29.-The state de-
| partment has received a dispatch from
Ambassador Mccormick a st. Peters
burg, to the effect that the Russian min
| lister for foreign affairs has assured him
| that the published reports of the proposed
convention between Russia and China re-
la ting to Manchura are absolutely incor-
rect and that there is no foundation for
the report that Russia demands that Chi
ma shall refuse the requests Of other
powers for treaty ports and consulates in
Manchuria. He has been assured that the
Russian government has intention to
exclude other countries from advantages
now enjoyed in Manchuria or to confer
executive privileges upon Russians; that
the United States may be sure that moth
ing will be done to close doors now open,
and that American commerce and Ameri-
can capital are those which Russia most
desires to attract. IT is understood also
that similar assurances were received by
the secretary of state from his eXcellcncy,
the Russian ambassador yesterday alter

sador, called on Secretary Hay this morn
