such as to give hope for a yield OF
nearly % per cent more than last year
and nearly II per cent more than the
average for the last five years.
May Unfavorable Month.
MAY was unfavorable for winter
wheat, but nevertheless with the in
creased acreage there probably will
be between three and four per cent
more winter wheat produced than last
year and between six and seven per
cent more than for the average Of the
last five years. Combining both spring
and winter wheat, the indications
point to slightly larger yield per
acre than was produced last year and
about the same yield per acre as dur
ing the last five years. This would
make a total production of all wheat
Of go per cent more than last year
and 1O2 per cent more than the aver
age for the last five years.

so large as it was last year, but the

prospects are not so promising as
year ago. Last years production was
the largest ever recorded. The con-
dition of the crop indicates a yield
per acre of 27.7 bushels as compared
with 31.9 last year and % for the av-
erage of tho last five years. This
would make a total production Of
about 1873 less than last year, but 4.S
per cent more than the average of
the last five years.
1.-THE condition of all crops in the
Pacific northwest, particularly in
Washington and Oregon, is notably
fine. If any one feature Of the month
covered by the report stands out
above another, it was the drought
which prevailed during May practical
ly throughout the country. 1t affected
materially not only the condition Of
winter wheat. but also the hay crop,
which is one Of the greatest crops of
the country. That drought now, how
ever, has been largely relieved in all
parts of the country"
The Northwest's Prospects.
The northwest has one of the best
general grain prospects reported.
With the exception of South Dakota
all crops IN the other two states are
we'll above the ten year average and
in none of the three states is there an
average below 80 per cent of normal.

Chicago Grain Market.

Chicago. June 15.-ActiVe selling
pounded down the price of wheat The
main idea of traders on the bear side
was that, barring some unforeseen dis
aster to the spring crap the market
would ultimately descend to an export
basis More favorable advices regard
ing the outlook for growth in Russia
and the fact that cheaper offers were
being made from there tended also to
discourage the bulls. A 20-cent cut in
the price of -four counted, likewise,
against the value of wheat. Opening
figures were a shade to Il C up. July
started at S71s @S7A C, a sixteenth down
to the same amount higher than last
night, touched 73sc and then fell to
$3.50.
Alleged poor appearance of wheat in
Jim River valley helped bring about
decided rally. Dry weather there was
reported. Cables. too. told of insect
havoc in Hungary. The close however,
was weak. with July at IS Q8S1sc, a net
gain of &c.
A wet forecast resulted in a general
rush to sell corn Both longs and shorts
joined in the stampede. July opened
Il q &c off at "a Il q "a ac, but steadied
around 81 Ac.
Later the market rallied with wheat.
A feature was the narrowing of the
September premium over July. The
close was easy at SAP @54ac for July,
a net loss of shade
There was a broad trade in oats. the
market, however, sagging with wheat
and corn. July started a shade to Is
a nc down at 3S@3SBc. rallied to 3SA

Exceient-Pacifc Coast S Promising.

Washington, June 8.-Promise that
this years wheat crop will be the
greatest ever produced is given in the
June crop report, issued today by the

Prof. N. c. Murray, acting chairman
of the crop reporting board, comment

Figured on the basis followed in other
years, the high condition of the crop
in the northwest suggests total at
the present time of 262,O00,00O bush

mates the total spring wheat yieyd at

.RE|kE'S MEMORY YER POOR
IN THE FEDERAL SUGAR TRUST
PROBE.
But He Recalls Loan Which Was Sc.
cured by Stock of Penn.
Company.

Washington, June IS. Five hours
was spent by Charles r. Heike, for
mer secretary of the American Sugar
Refining company, in telling the house
sugar investigation committee that he
knew nothing about the policies or
inner history of the company, par
ticularly in the years when H. O..
Havemeyer was it's president.
The witness described his position
with the company as that of stock
transfer man, bookkeeper and letter
writer"
He said the government had picked
him out as the mischief maker" in
the alleged customs frauds charged to
the company simply because 1t had to
have someone to fasten them on.
What matters the committee tried
to find out about, but concerning which
Mr.. Heike claimed to know but little,
were many.
One of the things was the interest
of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany in the National Sugar Refining
company. He said the former owned
100000 preferred stock in the latter,
or little more than one-half, but he
had no idea Of why just a little more
than one-half was purchased. Neither
did he know whether the American
Sugar Refining company was cognlzant
of the claim, now under litigation, that
$10,000,000 common stock in the Ma
tiOnal was in existence at the time it
purchased the preferred stock.
Remembers Big Loan.
Little of the inner history OF the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company
deal as obtained from the witness
He admitted that the American Sugar
Refining company loaned to Adolph
SegaI through Gustave A. Kissell ST.
100000 and that a majority of the
stock of the Pennsylvania Sugar Re-
fining company with the voting power
thereof was given as collateral secur-
ity.
Havemeyer's Control.
Mr. Heike was unable to explain
why President Havemeyer had such
a control over the American Sugar
Refining company if he only held in
his own name a comparatively few
shares. Again Mr.. Beck interrupted
to suggest that possibly more shares
were held in the name of brokers, as
was sometimes done in New York.

In arriving at the prospective wheat
siderable confusion. In the first place.
the government has used, evidently,
the old average basis for arriving at
the area sown this season, which, ac-
cording to the census, was much too
high for Minnesota. It is suggested,
however, that the North Dakota acre
age is too low and that the aggregate
figures of spring wheat acreage in the
three states as estimated now is not
far away from the census area.
A further difficulty presents itself
in estimating the probable harvest.
