GRAIN SHIPMENTS MAINTAINED.

rent Grain Reporter says: Open wealth
er has prevailed thus far in the north
west, and the volume Of shipments
from the spring wheat region is not
showing the much heralded increase,
instead the receipts are much smaller
than last year. The winter wheat acre
age has been cut back to the old acre
age, and the condition is about UP to
the average at this period. The plant
was put in later over a great part of
the country, but that is no detriment.
Hessian fly will not cut any figure un-
til next spring. but If the weather is
favorable damage will develop.

the week ending Dec. II were one mill
lion, twenty-seven thousand, compar-
ed with nine hundred and fourteen
thousand for the preceding week and
$4,000 year ago.
