Grain and Produce,

ment report for April will make it's
appearance on the Board of Trade to-
morrow. It Is expected that the con-
dition of the winter wheat plant will
be around SO per cen Of normal.
against 95.6 on April /, last year;
91.6 on April 1, 1913, and SIS, the
average condition for the last 10
years on April l. The acreage plant
ed, as estimated last December, was
Ill per cent larger than in the pre-
ceding year.
B, w. Snow estimates that the crop
figures tomorrow on the condition OF
winter wheat will show SS.5, compar-
ed with 1873 last December, n 91.7
(his estimate) last year. The acre
age going to harvest is above 100000
900, and Snow believes there is a crop
possibility with a normal season of
coo, 900 900 bushels of winter wheat,
but that a repetition Of last years per-
feet season would produce q larger
crop than in 1914.
With the Chicago wheat market
closed to business today because of
the city election. the Minneapolis, Du-
luth and Winnipeg markets. the only
ones opened, were not unlike a ship
without q rudder. The price changes
were only moderate and attracted no
great amount Of attention here, as
the speculative world, generally
speaking, gave more attention to the
election than to the outside grain
markets.

have a process Of separating the good
from the bad in the hereafter; Jesus
indicated this strongly, and is 1t not
reasonable? The speaker stated II
we deny the fact that we should not
separate the good from the evil, we
open the very flood gates Of hell Into
our homes
The speaker said that we voluntar-
lily burn ourselves. He told OF some
young men he knew that were going
to hell, at most rapid rate, and in
dicated their condition was even
worse than Dante had pictured. The
literal fire was calm compared to the
hell that comes from a stricken con-
science Many man has said: Il
would allow my hand to be burned
from nv body, il l could undo that
moment of my life," and they would
do 1t gladly.

The speaker. in conclusion, point
ed out that 1t was the love OF God he
wished to emphasize and that /he
wished this would be their motive In
deciding for Him instead of coming
through the motive OF fear. He then
showed how God is giving US another
chance to go out in the world and
make good and is calling upon the
motives that are highest and best IN
us to cause us to respond.
Rev. McAllister stated last evening
he was very much pleased with the
success OF the meetings and appre-
ciated the efforts of the people Of
