Des Moines. May 3L-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin was
issued today as follows: The mean
Temperature Of the past week was
slightly below normal, except in por-
tions of the eastern districts. There
was a large percentage of cloudiness
and the rainfall was above normal in
the larger part of the state, the excess
being greatest in portions of the central
and northern sections. The rains were
timely and beneficial. except in the To-
calities visited by heavy and destruc
tive downpours. In sections where the
rainfall was moderate very good prog
ress has been made in finishing plant
ing and beginning cultivation of the
corn crop. Reports are variable as to
the stand of corn but there is general
agreement as to the increased acreage
planted. In some of the southern
counties planting operations are likely
to be continued another week.
The weather conditions have been
very good for grasses and small gfain
crops. which are showing improvement.
The hay crop. especially, has been much
benefited by wet and cloudy weather,
and in many sections reports indicate
that a good yield is assured. Potatoes

Chicago, May 31.-Wheat-The close
was about half cent lower than on
Saturday. There was range of about
a cent in the more distant months.
while May fluctuated from 931s to 9S.
The question as to May shortage kept
the session quiet, but there was fair
trade attended at one time with a
bulge of half a cent led by the strength
at st. Louis. where there was some
good buying by shorts on general
rains The decrease in the visible was
about ms expected, but worlds ship
ments were about 100000 less than ex-
pected. There was some damage re-
ported from Kansas, claiming too
much hot weather.
Corn-There was a firm market in
corn and shorts forced May a cent
higher, and there was much early buy
ing on the small receipts which did not
reach expected 1000 cars. Estimates
for tomorrow are somewhat larger and
selling on this account and profit TAX
ing caused loss of part of the early
grain.
