Show CROP REPORTS. The crop report, as issued by the department of agriculture today, is not entirely favorable, although there is an improvement in tho condition in wheat as compared with a month ago. Winter wheat is exceptionally good. The whole country has been waiting to hear from the crops, as crop conditions, in great part, mark the limits of our prosperity.' While there is nothing over which to rejoice in today's report, there is nothing' discouraging. Tho crops are large enough to meet all demands for foodstuffs and leave a good surplus for export of corn and wheat, and the harvest promises a tonnage which will keep the railroads busy. So all things considered, tho country should now be reassured and proceed pro-ceed to make ready for the crop of next year, which may be more tban bountiful. |
