Tabnll doubticsa do the renders of Ton Trimoxe o aervico by roviowing thesq rumors, seck~ ing to sift the fact from tho exaggeration, and giving the apparent present status of the growing crop froma point of view nearer, tnd probably more advantageous for tho form= ing of corroct conclusions, than the Chicago Grain Exchange. Up to tho time of tho heavy June rains, the season Was exceptionally favoruble to the whoat-crop in Minnesota, and oxtravagant ¢x- pectations wero formed,—which may: he dis- counted consiiterably without reducing tho probable yleld to the average.
