WHEAT-The Government yesterday issued
its statement of the condition of winter Wheat
April April i. 1866. 1855 at the same date in 1904
the last ten years Dispatches from Chicago
said.
Wheat crop is bullish. The trade was looking

the popular belief that the crop was in an
unusually fine condition The April report nine
times out of ten shows the highest point OF
perfection on the growing crop. If there Is
