he stated, is something like $40o.000. and he
felt certain that greater amount OF work

E. n. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Wheat-There has
been light professional market in
wheat, with range of about cent.
The News was If anything, bullish,
but some selling Of December by
local longs, caused a setback early.
Australian wheat prospects were re-
ported poor, and Winnipeg sent d
startling report of twenty million out
of forty-fve million in that district UNI
fit for milling. Bradstreet's showed
an increase Of nearly ten million.
Corn There was no special ex-
element in corn, the range being about
q cent. The government report was
generally favorable to the new crop,
but allowed considerable damage by
frost during the past week and good
many soft ears. 1t was practically a
stand off so far as the past seven days
are in question. Primary receipts
favored bulls as they amounted to so
per cent of last year A sale for ship
ment Of 100000 No. 2 corn at 3R cents
over May in store was reported. Brad
streets showed decrease of nearly
100000.
Oats - Futures were firm to trif1e
higher and there was an increased in
terest noted. The main factor is st,ll
large stocks. The worlds net show Il
similar increase to last week when the
gain was two million. Last year at
this time the gains were trif1ing.

GENERAL CROP OUTLOOK.
Summary Of Conditions In Various As
ricultural States,

Washington, Oct. 4.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows: Tempera-
ture conditions during the past week
have been generally favorable for ma
turing and harvesting late crops, altho
excessively warm in portions of Kan
sas and southern states. Heavy to
killing frosts, causing some da mage
are reported from Wisconsin. There
was practically no precipitation over
the lower Missouri valley and SOUTH
ern states, but copious rains fel in
New England New York, Michigan,
Red river of the north valley, portions
of lower Missouri valley and southern
plateau region, delaying work and in
juring crops in some of these dis
tricts. Drouth continues in the upper
Ohio valley and moisture is needed
generally in the middle and south At
lantic states, portions of Oklahoma
and South Dakota. Weather conditions
are favorable in the Pacific coast
states. Corn has experienced ar other
week of favorable conditions, but frost
blown down and damaged in linois
and dry weather is needed in Iowa to
prepare the crop for cribbing. Corn is
practically safe in Nebraska, less
than five per cent is in danger from
frost in Michigan and eastern Is ansas,
ten per cent in Ohio, central In diana,
Iowa, and South Dakota TWEEN " per
cent in northern and central Illinois
and Missouri Cutting is progr essing
rapidly in all sections, being Tracti-
cally completed in portions of south
ern Missouri and nearing completion In
Kansas.
While threshing of spring whe 1T was
again delayed by rains in Min lesota
during the early part of the week this
work was resumed later and is now
generally we'll advanced in that state
and progressing rapidly in the Da-
kotas.

eraI Demand for Sheep Continues
Astive and Heavy Export Wethers
Selling at Top Prices.

Chicago. Oct. 3. -Cattle-There was
a good demand for fat CATTLE which
are sold at firm prices, but half fat
and thin lots are slow of sale at bare
ly steady prices.
While the proportion OF choice steers
was considerably smaller Monday than
in the middle days of last week, there
were LIBERAL supplies of big heavy
grades, and these dragged slowly thru
out the day. Boston and New York
orders for such grades We're quite
small and while IL few sold to local
buyers sales were made only after
considerable peddling.
Hogs.

natural result prices sagged. In a
general way lambs were 10@15 cents
lower, but on medium natives worth
$3.50 or slightly over or under, a 25
cent break was recorded. Feeding
lambs felt the decline, some sales look
ing SOLO cents lower. Sheep of all
kinds sold close to steady, demand
from both killers and feeders being ur-
gent.
The proportion of sheep in the run
While the percentage of lambs was

lambs was very good.
Choice native lambs sold up to $3.50,
but only for couple of selected
lunches. Sales at $3.50 "a SIS We're

Des Moines, Oct. 4.-The week ending
October 8 was warmer than usual,
with some local excess of rainfall. Con-
ditions were more favorable to growth
than ripening of vegetation. But the
corn fields have been quite rapidly
transformed in color, and fully 80 per
cent of this great staple crop is now
practically safe. A general killing .rost
at any time before the 10th would un-
questionably impair the quality Of
about 10 per cent of the corn crop Of
the state: but with that per eel tage
entirely destroyed, the output Of ound
corn would be above the average Of
the past fifteen years. a period of dry
ing weather is now needed to pre- pare
the crop for cribbing, and to pre- vent
damage to the portion of the crop that
IS lying on the ground.
Reports indicate an unusually good
yield Of timothy seed, but clover is
very light. The pastures are extra
good for the time of the year. New
seeding of grain and grass has done
notably well. AS a whole the crop
season of 1904 has been favorable.
