Total acreage 11,500,000, average yield 10,2 bushels, total yield 119,- 700,000 bushels. This would be about an average that of last year, The crop is a very difficult one to estimate, owing to the fact that it is so much spotied. A field of ten acres yields grades of wheat. The straw is, as a rule, good, but the bolls are not weli filled, and the quality will, probably. as a whole, be inferior to that of Inst vear essive rains and k of warm W rare the chief causes of the deterioration of quality. Mr. Jones says the harvest will not be compl befove September 1, and that in consequence vad weather be- fore that date may easily cut down the total yield 10,000,000 bushels The important fact is that there is no excess of yield When estimates were first made it was supposed crop would be a‘bumper’? and 1 000,000 bushels was the figure set Now it is seen thet it may run down as low as 100,000,000 bushels if bad weather continues ‘he bad wheat due uphealthy conditions, will probably be a feature in the market- ing of the crop. | A PANIC IN CHILI.

Everybody is Busy, Says Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade: ‘‘Not for several years have the telegraphic reports from various cities in all parts of the coun- cry been as encouraging or shown as uniform improvement as this week. ‘The markeis are called crazy by some, but fairly represent the people, whose confidence in the future is strong and increasing. Nothing ap pears to check it.’” Says Bradsvreet: ‘Special tele- grams from trade centers throughout the country emphas'ze the growing prosperity of the farmer, due to higier prices for almost all agricul- ta-al produce still in his hands, and point to a continuation of the demand which has been conspicuous within the past few weeks. The volume of trade continues to increase and prices are harden'ng.
