WINTER WHEAT
CROP OUTLOOK

The department of agriculture has
made up from its many corresponds
ents a definite statement of the April
condition of the winter crop, which
shows. as expected, several points off
from the December condition. The
estimate came ut IL period when there
WAS a great lack of data and that time
was too early to exhibit certainty in
the conclusion. When the correspon-
dents forwarded their statements the
ground in many places was covered
with snow and. in some, with Ice.
il snow was less harmful than bare
ground at that time but the ice COW
ering was very damaging.
Wheat and rye are credited With
great resisting power against winter
killing but they have a limit of en-
durance. The question is whether or
not the limit of endurance was very
greatly exceeded. This cannot be yet
definitely told and may not be until
the plant has had the necessary ele-
ment of warmed temperature to pro-
mote growth. Before that, opinion,
not fact must suffice and opinion even
among the experienced is too varied
to be convincing.
However. the effect was to stimu-
late values and taken. together with
prospect abroad Tor the close con-
sumption probable of the 1911 pro-
duction. before the 1912 harvest
into use. created Il somewhat excited
o to the following days prices.
Excepting the states of Michigan,
ohio. Indiana and Illinois the condi-
tions. seems not to Justify at this time
grave fear of a crop in the middle
west below that of 1911. Private ad-
vices since April 1 show hat in the

of Stock Exchange.

New York, April 13.-Bradstreets

turning to late summer and fall trade

lower Mississippi valley where high
water holds back agricultural opera
tons and retards sales to country
merchants.
Easter trade has been irregular but
1air on the whole and generally bet
ter than last year.
Labor Questions are Features.
In industrial lines features are the
continued idleness Of the country's
coal miners pending possible settle

quoting down of the textile labor stu
alton as advances are offered and ac-
oepted and the prospects of an expen-
dlture for building for the first quar-
ter not much behind last yea but
with a majority of cities still report
ing decreases however.
Higher Level in Iron and Steel,
In the iron and steel trades there is
a higher level of prives ruling with
the growth OF a feeling that this is to
a certain extent curtailing some de-
mand. 1t is also felt that higher
prices for cotton goods and the back
wardness of deliveries may have some
effect upon future orders, those for
summer and fall. which are engaging
Jobbers' attention. now that regular
spring demand has measurably quiet

Mandan, N. D.. April 13.-From 2 a.

more citizens diligently searched the
bottom and banks of the Heart river
TOT hundreds of yards below the scene
OF last Fridays tragedy in the hope Of
finding the body of the late Edwin G.

Not even a trace of the body could be

search, participated. and all %conceiv-
able kinds of drags. including a unique

II Is the general opinion that further

hope is the rising of the body. after a

bring it to the surface free, but the

1t probable that the body will not float

North Dakota Seeding.

Fargo, n. D., April 13.-During the
last few days North Dakota farmers
have seeded thousands of acres. The
weather Il been ideal, the govern

Erees throughout the day. Farmers
aware that every moment is precious,
have put every available team in the
field and are rushing work in order to
get all their seeding done before the
rain. which prophets say is almost due,
owing to the extremely warm weather.
The weather bureau last night pre-
dicted a continuation of the warm

Reports from owe the state indicate
that every effort is being made to get
in as much grain as possible each day
in anticipation of Il rain.
Crop conditions We're never better

ports. No wind blew yesterday and
apparently 1t was an ideal summe

crop prospects are said to be the best
in history.
Similar conditions prevail in the
Golden valley on the Montana state
n in the western part of the state.
The slope country" just west of
the Golden valley, is busy putting in
the crop. Jas tractor p!ows broke
many hundreds Of acres in that Sec
ton last fall and the states grain
acreage will be materially increased
this year as q result.
