GRAIN OUTLOOK BRIGHT
FOR UNITED STATES
Wheat Leads All Other Records by
100000 Bushels, Says Forecast
Other Yields Gain.

Washington, July 10.-The four lead
ing cereal crops of the country
wheat, corn, oats and barley-prom-
Use yield this year of 5,210,000,00O
bushels, 700,000,000 bushels more than
the aggregate yield last year, and,
with one exception, the largest on
record.
The government report raised the
estimated yields of both winter and
spring wheat and barley because of
weather conditions, and indicated
large yields of both corn and oats.
The total yield of winter wheat is
placed at 655,OOO,000 bushels, com
pared to 638, 100000 bushels indicated
in June, and final estimate last year
of 523,000,000 bushels. The spring
wheat estimate was raised from 262,-
100000 bushels to 275,000,000 bushels.
The total crop of wheat is 100000
900 bushels, or 167,000,00O bushels
more than ever raised in this country
in any previous year. Early estimates
of the yield of winter wheat were
more than substantiated by the thresh-
ing returns, and the yield per acre is
placed at 1876 bushels per acre, the
highest on record.
The indicated corn crop is 1885,
100000 bushels.
Oats promise yield of 1,201 200, 600
bushels The indicated yield is 49,
100000 bushels more than last year,
and has been exceeded only once.
In winter wheat states the yield has
been excellent in all but limited
area. The big hard wheat states west
of the Missouri have by far the largest
crops on record, Kansas alone being
credited with 100000 bushels,
against SO,O0O,O0O bushels a year ago.
Nebraska had a crop of 68,000,000
bushels, or 100000 bushels more
than the big crop of last year. In
spite of the losses from drought and
insect pests in the central states,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri
will have larger yields than the pre-
vious year.
The states of comparatively small
production all had good yields, and
there has seldom been a year when
such favorable conditions prevailed
throughout the entire country.

BIG RAILROAD STRIKE
NEAR ON 81 LINES
Employees of Roads West of Chicago
Affected-Ultimatum to Board OF
Managers This Week.

Chicago, July "A strike by prac-
tically all the employees of 81 railroad
lines west Of Chicago is threatened.
The executive committee of the freight
handlers, clerks, baggagemen, ware
housemen and trainmen voted to refer
the question of walkout to strike
vote.
The question of strike by the en-.
gineers and firemen was referred to
the members of those organizations
several weeks ago. The result of the
balloting has not been received, but
members of the executive committee
say they believe the men are unan1-
nous in favor of strike.
The engineers and firemen asked for
an increase in wages. The board OF
railroad managers refused it. After the
matter had been referred to the men
other organizations Of railroad en-
ployes attempted to have the mana
gers reduce their working hours from
ten to eight hours. At a meeting held
yesterday it was decided to join their
organizations with those of the en-
gineers and firemen, and it is likely all
the employees will go out at the same
time If a strike is determined upon.
An ultimatum will be prepared to be
sent to the board Of managers this
week.
