THE RURAL HEW-Y 08 KEB 
the next potato crop there depends in a meas¬ 
ure the wants of Europe for pork, rib, sides, 
lard, etc., from the United States during the 
coming 12 months. Receipts of hogs at the 
West, at home, continue heavy, in excess of 
sanguine estimates, and the home and foreign 
demand is not at present within sight of the 
capacity to produce. 
A telegram from Minneapolis, Minn., says 
the weather is very favorable for the crops in 
all portions of the Northwest. Rain has fallen 
in all sections where needed, and wheat is 
heading. Barley will soon be ripe in southern 
sections of the State. Corn never made a 
better showing. The increase over last year 
is only ,35,000 acres. The hay crop will be 
above an average. Increase in wheat sown, 
246,000 acres in Minnesota. It is much great¬ 
er in Dakota. The receipts of wheat for the 
week have been liberal, 441,840 bus. in five days* 
The market is dull and buyers scarce. No. 1 
Hard is quotable at 93% to 94c. Most of tbe 
millers have about all they can grind until 
the uew crop comes in. 
While Ohio and Indiana will not produce 
their full average quotas of wheat, railroad 
officials say that if present crop prospects are 
realized, tbe leading Western. Imes will have 
more business than they can handle, as the 
grain cropsiu Illiuois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, 
Minnesota and Dakota will far exceed any 
preceding year. These statements are strongly 
supported by leading Chicago mercantile and 
manufacturing firms who have canvassed the 
situation. The weather at home and abroad 
and weak cables depressed prices of wheat 
early In the week, which subsequently ad¬ 
vanced on covering by shorts and increased 
purchases for export, The decline on the 
week was 2c. per bushel on No. 2 Red, which 
closed for cash at 96%c. Indian corn was not 
strong, and followed wheat up and down witli 
a loss on the five days of %c., No. 2 mixed 
closing at 60%c, Pork is still cornered at 
Chicago by Armour, and prices aro nominal. 
Lard is firmer; tbe shipping and speculative 
demand is small. Buying is mainly by the 
shorts. Short ribs are firm. 
A dispatch from Lexington, Ky., last 
Tuesday, says of the crops in that State;— 
The tobacco crop in this district occupies an 
area of ground fully 75 per cent, greater than 
last year. In this county aud Jessamine the 
acreage devoted to the valuable weed is 
doubled; in Bourbon the increase is nearly as 
great; in Woodford and Clark Counties it is 
about 50 per cent., and not so great in Scott, 
in which county there was a very large to¬ 
bacco area even last year. The crop on all 
Spring barley—124 townships report an in¬ 
crease, and 37 a decrease. The average is 1% 
per cent, increased area. Condition of the 
crop 104 per cent. 
Oats—402 townships report an increase of 
area, and 51 townships report a decrease, The 
increased area for the State is 12 per cent., or 
218,737 acres. The condition of the crop is 102 
per cent. The estimate is 75,000,000 hushels. 
Supplies of wool iu Boston are iucreasing. 
The receipts last week were 19,429 bales do¬ 
mestic and 1,025 bales foreign; against 11,067 
bales domestic, and 1,200 bales foreign the pre¬ 
ceding week; and 8,210 bales domestic and 329 
bales foreign for the corresponding week of 
last year. 
This year the amouut of exportable wheat 
from India is estimated at 50,000,000 bushels; 
from Australia, 25,000,000, aud from the Ar¬ 
gentine Republic at 10,000 bushels, a total of 
85,000,000 bushels. Teu years ago neither of 
these countries had ever exported wheat. 
Letters from prominent poach men in 19 
towns of Kent County, Del., show that the 
crop iu that county will be above the average 
but not pheuominally heavy. The total yield 
in Keut County will exceed 2,000,000 baskets. 
Cash wheat reached, Tuesday, the lowest 
price at Baltimore knowu there since the or¬ 
ganization of the Corn aud Flour Exchange 30 
years ago. The bid was 04 cents and the mar¬ 
ket closed dull. The absence of a foreign de¬ 
mand and the iucoming heavy crops are as¬ 
signed as the causes for this depression.
