Hot Weather and Black Rust
Causes Upward Turn

Chicago, June 13.-Hot weather and
black rust made the wheat market
soar today. July and September de-
liveries went to new high prices rec
ords for the season. Opening quota
tions, which ranged from l to 4 IL
cents higher, with July $1.39 ,1-2 to
$1.41 IA and September to $1.28 were
followed by material further gains.
Later the market underwent sharp
setback as result of heavy selling
due more or less to enlarged country
offerings and to rapid progress of the
harvest. The close was unsettled

MONTANA N HAS
GOOD PROSPECT
. FOR FINE CROP
Report Covering Northwest
Conditions Saws They Gener'
ally Are Favorable

The weekly crop summary of Van
Dusen, Harrington Company, of Min
neapolis, follows:
"0ur reports on the crops this week
from practically every section of the
Northwest are very favorable. Condi-
tions at the present time measure we'll
up with those Of the big crop Of 1915.
Since our last report the weather has
been cool and very favorable for the
growth Of all'Eraihs,s except corn. Ex-
cept in a very few small districts.
there is sufficient moisture at the pres
ent time, throughout the territory.
"The state of Montana has the best
prospects in number Of years for a
big crop The Northern part of the
state which has been SO dry for the
past five or six years is in fine con-
dition. In the Central part Of the state
during May, the precipitation was the
heaviest in several years. The South.
eastern part Of the Z stateeis q little
dry Fl some places Montana cut
worms have appeared and some dis
tricts in North Dakota report grass
hoppers. So far we believe the dam
age has been slight.
"The color and stand of wheat
throughout the Northwest are excel
lent and frost apparently did little
damage. We have received reports OF
oats having a slightly yellow tinge as
a result of frost. The cool weather
has been very favorable for rye and
1t is showing very good condition.
"The corn crop is quite spotted. In
the Southern territory the fields are
quite weedy, as the wet soil has pre-
vented proper cultivation. In the
Northern districts the weather has
been too cool for the best development
of corn, but the fields have been cul-
tivated and are very clean.
During the past week we have
made careful inquiries regarding the
fax situation. From our last reports
we believe our estimate Of 40 per cent
of last years acreage is conservative.
There is q very good movement Of
wheat at the present time. With pros
poets of good crops in the Northwest,
farmers are now selling some Of their
grain which has been held III storage.
for the first time In months we have
received compiaint3 of a shortage OF
cars in the country, suitable for gram
loading"
