During the past week the weather
in Minnesota, North Dakota, Souti

and cloudy with scattered rains. The
outlook for good small grain crops, Il
very promiAing. The Districts. thai
have suffered severely from drought
for several years past, have been "a.
vored with abundant moisture thil

ground is fiat or low the excessive
moisture has damaged the early sown
grain. Part Of this has been recseed-

Parts Of western North Dakota
and eastern Montana that have suf-
fered severally from grasshoppers
during the past two years, appear to
be quite free of them at present
'"rhe season has been backward in
Montana, but most Of the seeding has
now been accomplished. The ground,
as a rule, is in fine condition and the
outlook promising.
I'm the southern half of the terri
tory, wheat, oats and barley have a
good color and heavy stand. In
parts of Minnesota and South Dakota
the rye crop is headed out, and has a
fine appearance.
The planting of corn has been con-
siderably delayed and there is still a
small amount to be done in the
southern districts. Some of the early
planted corn in Minnesota and South
Dakota is now above ground. In nor

"A considerable increase in the po-
tato acreage is reported.
There are a number of conditions
bearing on the fax situation. Only a
small amount Of new ground is being
broken. Some of the districts where

very low grade wheat was very weak

Offerings of good milling spring
wheat were very light. Durum wheat
offerings were light and in steady
demand. t
Winter wheat market was slower
again and quite weak Corn.of the
best type was scarce and in good de-
mand. Oats market was without

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

T Chicago, May 25.-In q general
rush to sell wheat today prices under
went u new tumble during the early
dealings. Buyers were scarce until
there had been decided fall in
values. Most Of the comment favor
ed the view that the big operations In
May wheat were at an end, and that
with chances Of month end squeeze
of shorts having been thus greatly re-
duced the bear side of the market
had been given a material advantage
Deliveries here on May contracts this
morning totalled S21 900 bushels, and
there were fresh receipts here Of 325
carloads. The opening which ranged
from Ia to 2 lac lower with May
$3.50 1-2 to 1871 and JULY $1.22, to
1.22 IL was followed by successive
breaks that carried May down to
$1.2S and July to $1.2O 81.
Corn and oats went downgrade in
line with wheat. After opening a
shade to 3-s lower, July 81 S-4 to 63.
the corn market continued to sag.
Oats started 1-4c lower to 1-Sc ad-
vance, July SO 1-s to 3S SIS and then
suffered a moderate general setback.
Higher quotations on hogs gave
drmness to provision values.
Wheat-The market later descend
ed anothers half cent, May touching
$1.27 1-2, but then profit taking on
the part Of bear spectators led to
moderate rallies. A steadying influ-
ence was the fact that the Liverpool
market had failed to follow declines
on this side OF the Atlantic. The
close was unsettled, 1.2 to 4 IA cents
net lower, with May $1.2S to 1.2S 1-2
and July $1.21 ga to 1.2l rs.
Corn-Smallness of offerings to ar
rive here tended, subsequently to
rally the corn market. The close was
steady at a shade net lower to 1-S
cent advance, with July 63 to 63 Is.

Red Cross Roll Call
Heard World AROUND

The Annual Roll Call of the Amer

membership for 1923 will begin on
Armistice Day, November IL, and
close on Thanksgiving Day, November
80. The ground work for this stu.
pendous task of r%e-enrolling the mem.
bership throughout the world has
been laid in a plan for the first com
plete and comprehensive system of
registration of the Red Cross mem
bership in all its $500 active Chap
ters at home and abroad.
An important feature of the round
the-world Roll Call campaign will be
a universal effort to re-enlist the SER
